One of the English profs sent me a heads-up about this Twitter account yesterday. My favorite is this one.

mckitterick bought me a foam roller for coaxing out the knots in my glutes and I.T. bands. Jesus Christ the pain. The glorious pain. Why did I not shell out for one of these before now? We also bought some tennis balls, which are too intense for my poor glutes right now, but did wondrous things for mckitterick's back.
I stocked up on hard squash ($.55/lb at Checker's) and will be making butternut puree and mashed acorn squash for freezing in my new stackable freezer-safe containers. No more gallon zip-lock bags for chicken stock*, etc. Yay! I was dubious of the effectiveness of freezing spaghetti squash, so that will be purchased and prepared on an as-needed basis.
Laying in food for the winter is a delightful activity. Prepping masses of food for future meals is psychologically rewarding--both at the time of creation and when I pull it out to thaw. I am very much an ant rather than a grasshopper, but at least I'm not as much of an asshole about it. I like to share food.
Onmckitterick's post yesterday, someone asked "where do I find someone to cook for me?" In case anyone reading here has the same question, let me direct you to what I suggested mckitterick tell her. Craig's List, bulletin boards at local food co-ops, community blogs, etc., all would be great places to advertise for a cooking/eating buddy.
* I have over two gallons of 24-hour simmered chicken stock for freezing, too. MmmmMMM!
