pre-lana's, we were over at annie's enjoying colin firth and comforting her for having bought self-rising flour which produced, just as her mother warned, puffy pasta when she boiled it. that stuff's only good for baking cookies, said her mother; and lo and behold this morning tamar suggested we come over and bake cookies. we're heading over there in a minute. yesterday was all fun; i'm hoping for more of the same. irritatingly sccs won't let me into my email account -- what's up with that? sorelle? elizabeth? sysadmins?
