Breaking the rules...
1. I'm posting a Thursday thirteen on Wednesday. Because I can :)
2. Cooking-wise, it's been a blogariffic day...Vernicious Knids' carrot soup for lunch, Lindsay's Asian black bean soup with long-grain brown rice for dinner.
3. I've become a food renegade...when cooking, I change ingredients around freely.
4. I used to follow recipes strictly. When I lived in Newton, I once drove to the supermarket to get cumin. My roommate couldn't believe it.
5. When I told my mother, she said, "Cumin is distinctive."
6. We're having an unusually social weekend. We're getting together with M & M (she's pregnant! due in February) and a few other people. M (the guy of the couple) is one of those people whose rolodex must rival War and Peace. (In terms of length, not upheaval and bloodshed.) Saturday we're having dinner with DG.
7. It's probably good for me to be social; I need to be reminded that I'm an extrovert. My tendency is often to curl up with books or a Woody Allen movie.
8. Or your blogs.
9. I didn't wear bikinis as an adult for a while because I used to wear them when I was 3-5 (my mom's idea) and once the little triangles on top slipped to the side. My mom took pictures. I was traumatized.
10. It's weird, I used to want to be shorter but now I wouldn't mind being taller. Maybe 5'8" in bare feet.
11. I respect Madonna for starting up her Malawi charity, raisingmalawi.org.
12. I wonder if Paris Hilton will ever do anything constructive with her money.
13. I saw an illustrated edition of Jane Eyre at The Strand (aka "the crack den") that I was tempted to buy, but I think the drawings might detract from the story.

Kitkat - i can't stand her either. hopefully she will fade from the public eye.
Cumin IS distinctive. I go through a lot of it.
i have a family-size vat of cumin.
Oh yeah, and edible food too. I guess that's a point of cooking as well.
