Kitchen Bitch and some other stuff
Mar. 1st, 2003 09:28 pmFirst the other stuff.
Last night, I went to the mall after work (one of the better things about living alone - no one to answer to!) and managed to get 2 pair of Tommy Hilfiger jeans for $30 (that's both pairs), and a pair of dress pants for work.
Went by the pet store, and got a little giddy over the bunnies on display. Actually stepped inside the shop, looked at the puppy dogs and noted that 3/4 of them would rile up my allergies. Then, I got to the end, and saw a black lab puppy. I had to leave before I risked making a scene.
I think Sid's demise is easier to acheive closure with, because his was inevitable. He had lived to his life expectancy, and had as full of a life as a rabbit could have. Libby's death may take longer, because she was still a baby in a way. Putting her to sleep was the most humane thing to do, but it still hurts that it had to be done.
For now, the family's put getting another dog on the back burner, as Annabelle is in Doggie Nirvana, not having to vie for the attention of the humans with another dog. I'm thinking of getting another rabbit, but my plan is to wait for the Easter hype to die down - to make sure that my decision isn't being swayed by pet shops having rabbits galore. Also, since I plan on getting the next one from the Humane Society, they might be kind of iffy on letting someone adopt a rabbit around Easter. Which I can completely understand - you don't want someone to adopt an animal tied to a particular holiday, only to turn around and bring it back a couple of months later, because they suddenly aren't so cute and novel. So, I'm aiming for the summer or fall. We'll see what happens then.
Today, I have to say that Kellie, you're a bad influence on me. After telling me about the virtues of those pricey heat-resistant silicone spatulas, I broke down and bought one today. No, not at Williams-Sonoma. This one is an Oneida (the silverware people) spatula that I picked up at Famous-Barr. It's purple (red looked too pink), and I put it to the test while making dinner tonight. Good news: it passed the test, and I was very happy. And is it wrong that I was getting near-swoony over a 5-piece baking set from Calphalon, being sold for $24 (almost the price of the muffin tin alone)? I managed to talk myself out of it, since it would be perfectly useless for me ... and I have most of the components available. Besides, I use what they call the "jelly roll" pan for cookies, and have cookie sheets (the Air-Ware or something like that) that were recently purchased. :-D
As for my Kitchen Bitchery, I've got a recipe to share:
