    Off topic, but speaking of @Wreybies and our Latino friends, I don't think there's a more utilitarian food in the world than a tortilla. I mean, no matter what you have for leftovers, no matter how disparate, you can chop all that shit up, add cheese, and make tacos/burritos/quesadillas/whatever with it.

    TMW you get an idea for a cookbook for writers. The Novelist's Cookbook: how to eat fresh and stay drunk without ever (almost) having to leave your house!

    It would emphasize bulk cooking that can be frozen later (soups, stews, sauces, salsas, and things that can be thawed and stuffed into other things later--like stuffed peppers, mushrooms, chicken breasts, etc).

    How an agoraphobic, misanthrope should stock their pantry so as to avoid human contact and driving wherever possible (lots of root vegetables, stocks, beans, pastas, tortillas, forgiving freezeable meats, etc.).

    Cooking methods that don't require a lot of time, cleanup, fuss, or supervision (grills, broilers, and slow cookers -- what I call fire and forget food, as opposed to sautees and souffles that demand concentration).

    How to drink, write, eat, and remain productive (starches, simple fried foods, wine/beer/whiskey pairings to make you feel inspired, plus a helpful chart to balance productivity with insouciance).

    Hmm... still in the developmental stage.

    TMW one of your co-workers is resigning for another job, and he was to have a big 'celebratory lunch' on his last day.

    TMW you think on that and conclude, Just this once...I'm gonna be an asshole. I'm gonna skip this and go have my own lunch.

    TMW you find yourself conflicted on this...

    TMW you're just about ready to kill the obnoxious neighbors living behind you, who all summer long have been blasting classic rock, laughing raucously and yelling/screaming until all hours of the night. But tonight while attempting to enjoy your sunroom with the windows open, from their patio all you can hear is smooth jazz at a moderate volume and murmurs of conversation here and there.

    Is someone who was raised better house sitting?

    Have they been murdered and someone else has taken over their house?

    ARE THEY POD PEOPLE AND THE ALIEN INVASION HAS BEGUN?

    TMW you're celebrating a friend's birthday and you realize that no one bought candles for the cake.

    My friend and I were celebrating her husband's birthday along with their roommates and another friend of ours. Thankfully, we scrounged up some candles that were leftover from the roommates.

    I would but in the 9 years they have lived behind us we haven't been on speaking terms for 8 of them. :D

    There was a brief reprieve of annoyance when the female half of the couple either had a bad drug trip or mental breakdown, and was going door to door one night screaming that demons were coming for her. They got real quiet after that for a couple of years, but now have decided that partying nonstop is back on the menu.

    The male half of the pair bears a striking resemblance to Dog The Bounty Hunter and has approached newer neighbors complaining that the neighborhood is super unfriendly and weird. He seems to have no awareness to this day that this is for the most part a quiet neighborhood where people appreciate peace and quiet. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WRITE MY NEXT GAY PORN MASTERPIECE WITH SWEET HOME ALABAMA BLARING THROUGH THE WINDOWS AT 1 AM I ASK YOU?

    Write a story about Ronnie Van Zant fucking Neil Young in the ass? That's what the song is about... thematically at least.

    TMW Libre Office suggests 'butt-fuck' every time you want to write 'but' in your WIP:

    I'm fairly sure I've never used that word intentionally. :D

    That really shouldn't be in the thesaurus as standard... if you didn't write it someone has been messing with your settings

    I've been doing beta-reading though, so maybe if the word has appeared in someone else's draft?
    Not saying butt-fucks never happened in my writing, it's just not the word I'm wont to use. :D

    this one reason why I alpha and beta in PDF... (the others are the cool little post its you can add without having to actually write in the text, and also cross platform compatibility)

    If you were to beta for me in office libre would learn a range of expressions you probably don't want inserted into your MS
