We got new recycling bins. Instead of sorting our stuff into three little bins, we dump it all into this big bin. Except for glass which goes in a separate little bin. I probably should read the instructions in more detail. Our garbage cans are so small, you could maybe fit a 12 year old in one. This thing is so big you could fit a 12 year old, me AND Bob in it.
Part I
Last week when I was at the airport, I went to LameAss Airlines to see about the potential problem with my plane ticket.
The LameAss guy shook his head and said, "Oh no. That's a problem. On an international flight the ticket must be issued exactly like it says on your passport. But I can't help you."
LameAss Airlines has been purchased by Ginormous Airlines. This is the second time that LameAss Airlines has allowed me to purchase a ticket to fly on one of their planes but when I had a question told me they couldn't answer it, I had to deal with Ginormous Airlines.
So I walked to the other side of the airport where everyone at Ginormous Airlines was on a break. I flagged down a lady and she listened to my problem and then flapped her hands at me like how could I be so silly. "One letter different? That's no problem. Don't worry about it."
"You're sure?" I said. "I don't want to arrive for my international fight and find out I have a problem."
Her smiled disappeared. "I'll ask my colleagues." She then goes back to where the Ginormous Airlines employees were sitting around and said, "One letter off on the ticket isn't a problem is it?"
"Nope," they all agreed. "No problem."
I'm doomed.

Here's the tentative menu for tomorrow
Matt's Salmon Cakes with Easy Remoulade Sauce
Cedar Plank Salmon
Mark Bittman Quinoa-Wild Rice dish (#24)
Bob's Acorn Squash Fries (I don't know where he got the recipe. I think he said a vegan resource which if you know him, is pretty hysterical.)
Jay Lake's Knot Rolls.
and Cooks Illustrated Pumpkin Pie using pumpkin I grew myself.
I'm going to do a computer free day tomorrow since I haven't done one in forever and I want to spend the day hanging around the kitchen.
