I picked up some herb plants today.  It seemed like a good sensible way to have fresh herbs without a ton of waste.  Maybe I'll expand my cooking horizons ( Read more... )

Why can't I ever figure out how to be social in work-type situations?  Okay, I can manage it if the work is the kind that allows one to be social while doing it, but otherwise, I just show up and work.  It probably doesn't help that I have no idea what one talks about with unknown adult people, especially if they're women.  *sigh*
