Happiest of birthdays, dsudis and khaosworks!

I'm getting Shabbat off

Yesterday, when I was in a local kosher supermarket getting stuff for dinner (my take on shepherd's pie - ground beef, onions and peppers sandwiched between two layers of mashed potatoes), a friend of mine on the line next to me asked what if I'd gotten my food for Friday night. I hadn't. We're going to her house.

Later, as I was cooking the shepherd's pie, my husband's teacher called. He's a lovely man who lives about a block away. And we're going to their house for lunch.

Which is good because I was having a problem figuring out what to make.

We should get wine to bring them.

Discworld. Vetinari/Vimes Adult.

Much thanks to witchword and richardf8 for beta reading.

Havelock Vetinari was a knife - cold, sharp, deadly. Sam knew that - he knew that as well as he knew he was a copper, as well as he knew his city. There was nothing warm, or gentle or...loving about the man.

Sandra Lee has *nothing* on me

Some food writer, huh?
