It can literally be ANYthing in ANY category! Practical life stuff! Pieces of advice to live by! Words I should know! Fiction I should consume! Recipes! A favorite tourist trap! Whatever!

I'll go first:

A while back we went to the oncologist and they insist everybody walking in the door puts on a Halyard mask fluidshield level 3, and man, those things are both effective and comfortable. They're surgical masks, not N95s, but of course you can make them more effective by putting a fabric mask over if necessary.

Also, Jenn figured out that if you take leftover biriyani or probably fried rice and heat it in a skillet and then scramble some eggs on top of it it is VERY DELISH, even before you remember to add the hot sauce. And now I know how to use up leftover fried rice rather than watching it get increasingly forlorn in the fridge before I toss it.

that fried rice/egg thing sounds very tasty! leftover fried rice is sad, and I too often end up dumping it instead of eating it later

you might enjoy reading The Bloggess's posts - she's an interesting and amusing author who writes about many subjects, including her wacky life, mental illness, her family and pets, and stuff she's doing (like opening a fantastic-sounding bookstore I'd love to visit, and the book club she started). there's a DW feed if that's easier

if you like chocolatey things, my sister swears by this, and has since we were teens. it's got a very rich flavour; I used to chill the leftovers then eat it with a spoon *g*

Bonnie’s favourite cocoa fudge frosting

1 stick butter

Melt butter over medium heat – add cocoa and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

Pour into small bowl. Alternately add conf. sugar and milk, beating to spreading consistency. Blend in vanilla

Spread on cake while frosting is still warm

I do always love frosting recipes. Is it mandatory to spread on cake, or can I eat as-is?

cake is not mandatory - eaten as-is with a spoon and a glass of milk works well (though since it's enough for a good-sized cake, you might be sick if you tried to eat the whole batch at once)
