to the most serious difference being the odoriferous quality.. but with respect to relevance it is all in appearance.


Well..... That was interesting. Bittygirl just put on her shoes, all by herself, upside down and backwards, without socks.

Bwahaha. Yeah. Ok, that's a little disturbing. Sorry.

but that's exactly what the curry looks like before you add things to it.

This recipe looks yummy... from muggle.net
Madam Rosemerta's magical recipes.

Butterbeer! It warms you up AND tastes great. Now in take-away form from The Three Broomsticks. (Many thanks to Melissa for this recipe!)

Ingredients:

* 1 cup (8 oz) club soda or cream soda
* ½ cup (4 oz) butterscotch syrup (ice cream topping)
* ½ tablespoon butter



Directions:

Step 1: Measure butterscotch and butter into a 2 cup (16 oz) glass. Microwave on high for 1 to 1½ minutes, or until syrup is bubbly and butter is completely incorporated.

Step 2: Stir and cool for 30 seconds, then slowly mix in club soda. Mixture will fizz quite a bit.

Step 3: Serve in two coffee mugs or small glasses; a perfectly warm Hogwarts treat for two!

Looks exactly like Jessi the Dain-Bramaged Lab. :-D

If I could, I'd bring her up with me and leave her with you for ~training~. hehehehe...

Heading home now. See ya later!

Back from the interview. Man that was awkward and awful. My tongue and brain weren't working together at *all*. I musta said "it's kinda hard to put that into words..." and "you know?" a coupla dozen times. Ugh.

Good thing it doesn't matter!

Heh...I don't think I'd wanna work for anyone who would hire me after *that* interview.

I was telling her I like to buy lots of meat when it's on sale then divide it up and freeze it. She said "Why don't you just have them divide it up and wrap it up for you?" I felt like I'd been slapped in the face with the cold fish of obviousness! LOL!!!

Heh...I got slapped the other week, too. Last sale. I'd always buy the big package and then repackage everything, which was a pretty big hassle, but they didn't have any big packages out. I was mourning this when Jen pointed out I could get it from the counter, and if I did that, they'd wrap stuff in whatever amounts I wanted. Duh!

Woohoo! Well, my conference call ended up lasting ~only~ 2 hours and 40 minutes. Ugh.

Interesting!

I've been wanting to try to make ginger beer since reading about Polly in "The Magician's Nephew" drinking it in the attic crawl space!

I'm just waiting for the lady to call again about picking up these bookcases. And trying to decide if I should care in the least that the interview didn't go well. I guess not. I got a whole world ahead of me, right?

It was just weird, though. Lots of questions I've answered a zillion times, and my mind went totally blank. Grrr.

Oh, and I wouldn't worry about the interview, other than to chalk it up to experience.

Might you have been distracted by knowing you did not really want the job? Being even a little two-faced can be tough when you are not that type of person.

*shrug*

I dunno. Of course, knowing that I'm not really wanting to stick around, it didn't help that the very first question was one on why I wanted to work there.

But I don't think I've *ever* stammered and stuttered and "I'm not sure"ed as much as I did today. It was awful.

Didn't you say "because I need a paycheck"? :)
