Typos and Harvest Time

lol. I just about cracked up last night when I realized my latest post is apparently titled "Lon" night instead of "Long" night. Ooops.

Typos are hilarious to me. I think because they often conjure up jarring and unexpected mental images for me as I read. So now I'm imagining a black&white, grainy made-for-tv special from the 50's about legendary werewolf actor Lon Chaney Jr (and his dad Lon Chaney sr who was famous for all sorts of movie monsters!). Lon Night. Mwahahahaha. With bats and organ music and lots of dry ice smoke.

The other day I wrote a typo that had me in stitches. I wanted to write "With Candor", but what I actually wrote was "With Condor". So now in the middle of this waspy living room drama scene somebody just suddenly has a Condor on their arm or some shit. Very monty python in its non-sequitor-ness. Or like Laugh-In from the sixties. Absurd and highly funny.

Inexplicable Condor!  Nobody expects the California Condor!!

Ever seen Delirious with John Candy? He's a soap opera writer, who, by some movie twist or other, suddenly lives in the story as well as writes it, and one frantic night he's click-clacking away in a desperate rush toward the climax of the story when he writes that he'd like a cold beer. Only he makes a typo and he writes COLD DEER, so this delivery person brings him a frozen deer carcasse. 

That's how I felt about the Condor in the room. Hilarity.

Anywayz. Happy Autumn to you all! This is my favorite time of the year. I feel magic and creativity swirling around in the air. It fairly sparks with energy and mischief and drama. It is my endeavor to go for a walk every day for a week, starting friday. (or maybe today, we'll see.)

In honor of the Autumn, I made autumn bake last night for dinner (it was fab), and I had the forethought to cut up enough veggies for a whole second baking dish, which facilitated the making of harvest bake SOUP! Just throw the yummy roasted veggies in a pot with heavy cream, some vegetable broth and a little salt and pepper, let em stew for a while and get the cream all flavored, then blend that shit into a bisque (this out as necessary with milk or more broth) and it is one of the yummyest, tastiest soups you shall ever eat. that's what's for dinner this eve. I'mma pick up some cornbread to go with, MmmMmm good. Campbell's can suck my left tit.

The veggies included this time around were: Sweet potato, red bliss potato, butternut squash, turnip, parsnip, and carrot. Perf. And don't forget the rosemary, holy hell, what a little miracle herb.

I also made enough stuffing for ten people. And it was goooooood. Incidentally, it is really tricky to obtain packaged stuffing mix that doesn't include chicken broth, chicken powder, chicken bits or anything chicken-esque. If you're looking, let me recommend Pepperidge Farm-- they have an herb seasoned one that is sans animal byproducts. There is, however, high fructose corn syrup, sigh. You can't have it all, can you?

Alright. No haunted mystery entry today. I know Danielle is way behind so I'mma hold off for a few days on posting more story.

But know that things are really heating up in CF and I can't wait to drop some effing BOMBSHELLS!

Wish me luck subbing today in WeeBee. 4th grade. Love that grade.

Ciao!
