Family is just a collection of nuts.

So the season premiere of Jon and Kate Plus 8 kind of broke my heart. ( I guess these are spoilers, but it's not like they haven't been the cover of the Equirer... )

I finally saw the season finale of Criminal Minds and ( spoilers for To Hell... and Back )

On a not-really related topic, I totally forgot to rec the amazing Hotch-centric fic that I devoured a couple weeks ago. It was lovely, achy backstory for Hotch (that actually tried to make some kind of sense of the lack of math TPTB employed in constructing dates for Hotch's timeline. I'll go with "child prodigies for the win!" and leave it at that). Be warned, it is 14 parts long... so don't come crying to me when it is 4am and you are madly reading to see how it ends. It's very in keeping with the show (show-similar violence and angsty stress and death and not nice behavior... did I mention violence?) and really worth the read. So go wallow in Tilting at Windmills.

Okay, need to get to bed because I am teaching in the morning. But I had tasty tasty huevos rancheros for dinner and I made chocolate chips cookies (from the Nestle Tollhouse bag's back, naturally) and washed lots of dishes and even the shelves in the fridge because ew. Now if I could turn that razor-sharp cleaning instinct on my room, we'd really be cooking. Metaphorically.

XD

Fortunately, my cookies turned out better than Fauna's cake.

So I don't lose the link (and hey, maybe you want it): In Search of the Pluot, a fruit that is an awesome combination of a plum and an apricot and is so tasty and this link has a great recipe for a method of combining pluots and ice cream, which is automatically made of win.

Also, I desperately need more cooking/food/yum icons. Help a girl out? I'm totally tempted to get one of a small girl with a huge chef's hat, which at present sums up my feeling in the kitchen, but I feel that I might want to be more optimistism-projecting than that ;o)
