pans canisters and browned butter

i am saying it three times so i don't forget, but it's picture day today at school :)

my poor sad heel is really really really sore for some reason (probably because the rest of my body isn't sore so i notice it...?) i couldn't sleep last night because of a little tiny almost healed 1cm cut on my heel :| and this morning just stretching made it tear open again and hurt like crazy. it's official: i am a total baby :)

BUT!! the scales have moved in the right direction!! and this (kind of) made up for all the walking!! how i l-o-v-e that bossy thintervention lady :)

last night, in an unprecedented move, i wrote a kind, but brutal, note to the manager of a local-ish restaurant. it needed to be done, the place is brand new and just plain awful, even though it's named after one of my children i wanted to love it, i really did.... anyway i shamelessly asked for exactly what i wanted - a full refund minus the cost of drinks because they were the only things that were fresh, so bummed was i at a misspent datenight. and the manager said yes. he also tried to get us to "go back and give them another chance" but i declined that part and said the cash was fine :) ohh, i like the new calm and assertive me!! thanks Cesar Millan, it works with HUMANS too!

this is tragic (but he seems Jewish so i kind of get it...) Jonathan Adler at HSN :( really? i bet he isn't selling his decorative uppers and downers canisters there....

i can't believe the first step in the recipe for madeleines requires me to brown butter for 20 minutes??? i didn't read any further due to shock... 20 minutes is an eternity to me :| and they have lemon zest in them... how on earth do i zest a lemon....? maybe i should just quietly give the pan away......

off to walk the pack (just think how cute THREE black dogs be in descending size order be, from gangly long-legged hound down to teeny tiny chickawawa?? i know - SO cute!! fingers crossed :)

ps what did i do without amazon prime?????! it's just awesome but i do kind of hate feeling like a prissy white princess who has to have things overnighted to her...
