I fought the lag and the lag won. Have an open thread.

So my "take four days to recover from jet lag" plan appears to have been a good one, except for the part where it wasn't actually long enough, and I am still passing out at inopportune moments. In the kitchen while making lunch. In my desk chair while writing. In the theater while watching Resident Evil: Afterlife (because the T-virus is apparently soothing unto me).

I need to take a shower. I'm afraid I'm going to drown.

So here: have an open thread. Talk about whatever, post whatever, do whatever (although it would be nice if you could keep the Campbell congrats on the "I won the Campbell" post, just to make them easier to answer). Do not expect prompt replies, as I may be asleep. If you do not see activity from me for twenty-four hours, I have drowned in the shower, and the cats have eaten me. I expect it will take them a week or so to figure out the LJ interface and begin posting.

Game on!

Fresh figs and gorgonzola cheese and caramelized onions are really good on pizza. With a little fontina to even out the cheese layer.

no actual sauce, other than a bit of garlic butter on the dough.

God, now I'm hungry. I'm totally making that for dinner sometime this week. Mind you, I wonder what my kids will eat....

The kids can have the boring half of the pizza?

Oh man. That sounds fantastic.

It really is. Frou frou pizza places with specials have their uses.

Want. O_o

I've done tea sandwiches with fig preserves, chevre, & a little bit of red onion.

That sounds really good. This was a special at a frou frou pizza place, and I totally need to duplicate it at some point.

I ran into a similar style pizza at a lunch place once. It was really, really tasty.

It's hard to find fresh figs around here though.

Oooo, tasty. My new favorite indulgence is bread cheese (this stuff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leip%C3%A4juusto)), toast, apricot jam, and a glass of port.

Oh wow. That sounds amazing!

Mmmm...toast and jam

My first cat and I used to share a breakfast of toast and apricot jam many mornings. She wouldn't eat plain toast and would glare at me if I tried to slip any other flavor of jam on the toast.
