National treasure Betty White turned 99 earlier this week!

(*Quietly to self: Dear God, thank you for not taking Betty White.)

1. I found our lost novelty coin with "yes" on one side and "no" on the other. I'd been wondering where it is because I use it for important decisions like, Should I call my mother back now

I love Betty White. :)

2. Bought a new cast iron skillet. TBH, I'm a little too excited about this purchase. We haven't had one in several months after Mr. Malice scorched our last one so badly that I had to toss it.
Uhm, either something got lost in translation and a cast iron skillet is something different than I think it is... or... how the hell do you manage to scorch one so badly it had to be tossed! What did he do?!
Anyway, that's certainly a great household item that shouldn't be missing in any kitchen. Even I know that. ;)

I'm pretty sure a cast iron skillet is exactly what you think it is. He put too much oil in the bottom of the pan and left it in the oven too long. After we scraped out the top crust of burnt food, there was a very thick layer of black goop/dried oil left I could not remove no matter how hard I tried.

It should be noted that he very rarely cooks.

That story makes me giggle. Mr. Malice sounds about as talented a cook as I am. As a kid I also managed to almost destroy our stove/kitchen with a simple attempt of cooking pasta. My approach to all things cooking has been wary at best ever since.

I've done it for Gran while I was taking care of her after her accident(s), but even then it was hit and miss and mostly very simple dishes! Haven't cooked any proper meal again without her ever since.

Everyone has different skills. I'm really good in the kitchen, but I don't know anything about coding, and I'm certainly not bilingual. Your ability to speak and write so well in another language just blows me away!

Ok so you thank god for not taking Betty White so he grabbed Cloris Leachman instead!!!

I'm fine, btw. :)

I swear, I thought the same thing when I read the news today. Now I feel like I should say prayers for James Earl Jones, Angela Landsbury, & Hal Holbrook, just in case my journal is turning into some weird version of Death Note.

I'm fine, btw. :)
I'm very happy to hear that. 💛

[avidreadergirl]

He got Hal Holbrook...

[malice_n_wonder]

When I first read your comment the other day, I thought he must have been deceased for some time, and I'd just forgotten. Then I read the news and realized he'd died within hours of my post. It felt like an episode of The X-Files.

Cecily Tyson passed too.
