Have just observed to [personal profile] kd5mdk that I really have to make "something decent" for supper tomorrow as tonight I'm tired and my hip hurts and Mom and her newly-returned-from-Ottawa housemate are "just getting sausage and beans".

... Yes, that's right, Ladies, Gentlemen and Others:

I am forcing them to struggle through the night with nothing better to eat than free-range-lamb-and-organic-chickpea cassoulet and fresh soda bread. Made from scratch, if you don't mind really good quality canned chickpeas.

I FAIL AT GOOD DAUGHTER FOREVER. THEY WILL HAVE TO DRINK TO DULL THEIR PAIN.

*headdesks into the cutting board*

ETA: OTOH I just cut the soda bread with one of those oddly-shaped medium sized unexplained serrated knives that every kitchen seems to have three or four of, on account of the bread knife being in the dishwasher due to having been used earlier to slice a bun in half or something. Sadly, I got caught doing this.

MOTHER'S KNIFE BLOCK HELL:
Daughter, 41, slices bread with wrong knife AGAIN.

Come to Seattle. We will appreciate your cooking. (Lamb and chickpeas? Soren will propose to you for that.)

You used the wrong knife! The living will envy the dead! Or wait, no. Your friends will envy your mom. Your sad, hungry friends. :9

As far as I am concerned, the "right" knife is the one that is clean (or can be easily cleaned), within reach, and gets the job done.

Well yes. But I seem to have misread as I first thought she was at your house.

My mother would have been happy if you tore the bread with your teeth, as long as she got a piece.

Have you seen the bumper sticker : Love People. Bake them Tasty Food. ? Maybe you need it for your forehead. I have one.

Yup, Penzey's. Comes with our order.

More vegetables. Evil, evil girl. Although congrats on stove cleaning.

For half a moment, reading this entry, I was under the impression your mother was the one giving you these feelings, not your own brain weasels. VERY glad to reread and note I was wrong. (And see it confirmed in the comments).

But still. Those are Bad Brain weasels. Pay them no mind. Or feed them sausages. They might stop griping.

Hmm. That sounds like my mom - one of my favourite people, but with moments of usually amusing insanity. (Usually about socks, it seems. At least lately).
