cake is better than metal
"Captain, we are being probed."
i've been watching a lot of star trek: the next generation re-runs lately. it's somehow comforting and satisfying at the same time.
this morning, my hands smelled like metal. it occured to me that despite having showered twice and washed my hands numerous times and washed dishes since i was last covered in the powdered exterior of my van, there might be some lingering metallic particles in my skin.
the scent faded through the day but even so tonight i was inspired to mix up a batch of lotion scented with Midway, a perfume oil that smells like funnel cake.
CAAAAKE!
i took a break from westy sanding tonight, mainly because my evening schedule was pushed back very late due to stuff out of my control, plus the fact that i decided to cook a large, proper dinner, and that took a long time.
for those interested, i grilled a steak and made a spinach casserole; for starters i picked bitter greens from my garden and dressed them with dressing i made with buttermilk, sour cream, garlic powder, sea salt, pepper, and basil.

Do you have any GoJo? I have a whole bunch of the orange scented stuff. I love it. :)
I'd never seen any of Firefly -- tv shows or the movie -- until a week or so ago, when I watched them all. I liked them more than I thought I was going to.
