BHK made some tasty quiche last night, and it was even more delicious as lunchtime leftovers today. Two kinds - Mozzarella & Garlic vs "Chicken" and Gouda.

Yum. In the battle of the quiches, I am the winner.

Yesterday's lack of rain caught up with us today... the plants must be loving it, given how dry stuff has been.

I may try something new with pictures... since flickr does a by date, maybe a link in the archives will be fun. not sure how long it'll last.

Annoying discovery yesterday, re: installing software via Citrix - add/remove is the way to go - it caused a pretty serious bit of havoc with some regularly used tools. fortunately, the tools were easily recovered and put in place. The error made no sense to me at the time - I may have to rethink application security if folks are putting stuff on there haphazardly. I did appraise the key folks of the situation and I don't foresee it happening again.

App compatibility guide is very helpful.

Having a bit of difficulty with insurance - claim I'm not on my policy! Silly error, but it's a bit of a hassle getting bills that insurance should just process. Spoke to our rep, and it should be fixed by the end of the week.

After work, we went with the in-laws to Jasper's. Fairly unsatisfactory experience. BHK was quoted as saying that it had all the style and panache of an Applebee's. (I have to remember to update the review in the link above.)

I'm thinking that I'd like to take BHK and maybe others to Udupi Palace- I keep meaning to try, but it slips my mind when I'm in the region. It was mentioned to me by one of the bus drivers on my local route... and she seems to know what she's talking about, based on the reviews.

I wonder if fearsome critter stories are fading out? The Hidebehind and hoop snake were the subjects of some of the very first books I picked up from a RIF function back when I was maybe 6 or 7 years old. I rarely hear mention of any of the critters in westerns I read these days. While whimsical, the tales could take a pretty nasty turn, not unlike most fairy tales from Europe.

With the exception of ATW man, I haven't seen hide or hair of any Oktoberfest activities. That's not to say there's nothing going on. Perhaps it got lost amongst the Harvest Festivals, Haunted Houses, Corn Mazes, etc?

---

I'm already tired of hearing about the new "News nightmare" of super staph infections. Though, flesh eating super-bacteria is a nice element of October Halloween horror.

Wonder if she's really crabby, or a cancer. I want that license plate. :))

I'll see if I can get BHK to write some down! they are the yum.

I love your flickery punkin icon. :)

Are you a crabby gal, or a cancer??

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

I can be crabby. :P Not a cancer, unless it's to be a cancer on the tushie of peeps who are purposely ignorant about animals. :0)

Where's your halloweenie icons? I thought you had some?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I have a few halloweenie icons! :D

you don't seem too crabby, unless provoked!

I'll have to write some down. Most of it is me improvising in the kitchen subbing in canned veggie meat for real meat (http://www.kelloggs.com/brand/worthington/). I'm not sure which Scott liked best so far. But I've done chicken fried tofu, veggie meatloaf, stuffed peppers, Mexican lasangna, and "beef" stroganoff (which was my first attempt to make vegetarian gravy)--I think that's all I can remember. I also make mac and ceese casserole too. Most of my cooking is semi-homemade. I use pre-bought sauces sometimes (like in my mac and cheese I use Ragu cheddar sauce to make it smooth.

Is everything ok with GP? I haven't seen a post or comment from him or Kat for ages. :-(

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I've heard the occasional peep from Kat, but not a lot from GP in a while. They're in a busy season though - I believe that they travel and have a lot of guests coming and going at this time of year.

Ah, cool. I was getting a little concerned that something was wrong.

Happy Anniversary!
