desperanceIf next year turns out as financially troublesome as this year has been, it will be entirely my fault for having failed to provide black-eyed peas for tomorrow. (This is apparently a thing. Several previous New Year's Days have seen me endeavour to create something passably tasty with black-eyed peas, and nary a success thus far. I am willing to continue trying, as the folk belief states that it's monetarily lucky to do so, but everybody else hereabouts wants to do the same thing, and the stores are barren. I will cook some other better bean instead, in hopes of initiating a new correlation.)
Tonight we're going to a small gathering with friends. We were told firmly not to bring alcohol, because over-abundance is apparently an embarrassment; I am taking sossidges cloaked in bacon, because crack.
I collected a free saucepan from Lucky's this afternoon (for values of "free" that include you-have-spent-a-thousand-bucks-in-our-store-over-the-last-several-months,-here-have-a-free-saucepan,-oh-wait-you-have-to-pay-the-tax). It is a stainless steel pan with a glass lid, and otherwise uncomplicated - and I tell you true, it comes with more printed operating instructions than my last computer. There is actually one sentence that's useful, if you didn't know it already (salt pits stainless steel; don't add salt to water until the water's boiling), but that's a terrible lot of thingie for a haporth of wossname.
As has been noted in the tradition, even-numbered years are generally harder to navigate than odds. I am quite glad to see the back of this one. Lord only knows what the next holds in store; I have no plans, no hopes, no expectations. Nothing coming down the tracks, so far as I'm aware.
