where hot messes go to die

so i gave you people that focaccia recipe and none of you have made it. :P that's ok, i'm going to make more this week (or next, kid wants cornbread this week, but that could change) and use the triple zero flour and that will satisfy my need to see loaves of focaccia. =D

one of my favorite movies of all times is "mildred pierce" with she of the cheekbones and eyebrows, joan crawford. one of my favorite limited series is "mildred pierce" with she who survived the titanic sinking. what i really like, when i consider the two together, is how different they are and how much i still really love them. i need to reread the novel at some point in time soon, because it's been a hot minute.
