Ah - today was much better. Yesterday I arrived home intending to do justice to the chicken I'd bought for roasting and could barely manage to wash a bunch of grapes. Starved and tired was I.

Today it's all about the fresh sage and stuffing the chickie until it overflows - I'm trying a trick out of Joy of Cooking and stuffing under the skin - loosening it up and making it look sort of diseased and lumpy, really. :)

Got my very first pair of Real (tm) bike shorts today, with the padding so certain sensitive parts can take longer rides. I have a butt pad! It's actually rather reminiscent of wearing a menstrual pad, and I haven't done that since high school. Icky things.

I have other bike-ish stuff, and Dru needs to come back from his week off to install the rack and fenders for me. Now that it's actually light in the morning and evening, I'm looking forward to riding to work. The knitting/reading on the bus will have to sit by the wayside, but, eh. Got no big projects I can take on right now anyway - everything's either too fiddly to bus with, (A stitch every stop doesn't get you very far) or way too huge (the big-ass coat)

Mmmm... stuffed chicken.
