At first I wasn't going to do this, because I thought I didn't have many of the items, but no, no I do.

Bold the ones you have and use at least once a year, italicize the ones you have and don't use, strike through the ones you have had but got rid of.

I wonder how many pasta machines, breadmakers, juicers, blenders, deep fat fryers, egg boilers, melon ballers, sandwich makers, pastry brushes, cheese knives, electric woks, miniature salad spinners, griddle pans, jam funnels, meat thermometers, filleting knives, egg poachers, cake stands, garlic presses, margarita glasses, tea strainers, bamboo steamers, pizza stones, coffee grinders, milk frothers, piping bags, banana stands, fluted pastry wheels, tagine dishes, conical strainers, rice cookers, steam cookers, pressure cookers, slow cookers, spaetzle makers, cookie presses, gravy strainers, double boilers (bains marie), sukiyaki stoves, food processors, ice cream makers, takoyaki makers, fondue sets, and mandolines languish dustily at the back of the nation's cupboards.

I've spent the day lazily nudging my flat back into post-party order. 9 people + 4-course dinners = more dishes than we actually possess. The four-course part might have been a little extreme. However! Delicious roasts are worthy of four courses.

Someday, I shall have a house with an enormous kitchen and an equally enormous table and will be able to have all my friends over for dinner at the same time. I look forward to that day. Until then, I've been trying to avoid hurt feelings by only having occasion dinners. It was such last night, so nobody feel bad!

I'm in love with the Final Fantasy song "Please Please Please." It's awesome and catchy, and makes for bad moments when I realize that I'm singing "Don't let your cock do all the work" as I clean up the kid's book section at work.

(Good advice, though.)

There are fandoms I avoid because they feature actors who are two or three degrees of separation away from me. What if I love them? In their work? And then I meet them? And am reedeeculous?

Sometimes I accidentally get sucked in before I realize the two or three degrees thing.

This is all a result of being a fringe presence on the Canadian theatre and book scenes. Both are small. Both have contributed visible presences to Hollywood's sci-fi teevee and film projects. Both are goldfish bowls where everyone knows everyone, or knows who to call to get someone on the phone, and the possibilities for crushing on someone you will probably meet are exceptionally high.

In possibly related news, I have fallen madly for SGA.
