    @dancingman Yep, silly kitties. One will hide, but the other will come say hello. It’s more the fur on everything that is the worry! 🙂

    @Passinthrough @AirForceTed We are GO for a post-race BBQ/meetup at my Mom’s place! Will send you details closer to event. 🙂

    Sewing class part two. It’s my nemesis: ZIPPERS!

    Is that a ZIPPER I see before me?? http://twitpic.com/1thqp3

    @randomknits You will be awesome. Don’t even worry about it!

    @Passinthrough Heh heh. It’s still the same day for me! 🙂

    At tonight’s sewing class, I made a bag thing! With zips! And a pocket! Only slightly wonky! http://bit.ly/9w6Gml

    @Lauren_lolly_ Huh? Try again. Just worked for me!

    @Lauren_lolly_ http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/https://www.web-goddess.org Says it’s up!

    @Lauren_lolly_ Is it just the bitly redirect? Can you get to my site directly? I haven’t touched a thing! Maybe your DNS is updating.

    This is so weird! I can get to web-goddess.org from home and iPhone but some can’t. Is it a particular ISP?

    @squozen SONOFA. No notification from registrar. Thanks; will fix ASAP.

    Looks like my domain expired. Crap. It’s okay, should still be in grace period. Will fix ASAP. Thanks everybody!

    It’s @squozen for the win, everybody! CC card expired, so auto-renew didn’t work. It’s renewed now. Your DNS should update soon. THANKS!

    @squozen The Register and Owner is listed as my Gmail. Tech and Admin are inexplicably my old Yahoo. Reminders are all at Yahoo. *facepalm*

    @squozen Yep. Done. Also new contact created with Gmail and assigned to domain. Fun way to start the day!

    @drkknits Are you a fan of the foofy-haired vampire? My R.Pattz-mad cousin sent me this link yesterday: http://bit.ly/9lydPq

    @drkknits It’s all gone. Serious Actors in Serious Historical Dramas don’t have swoopy, sticky-uppy hair, it seems.

    @knitterjp Nice! I didn’t know there was a couch. @witty_knitter led me to believe it was all evil, backless stools.

    @kottke Offmaps looks great… but why does it have to be to the right of the built-in App? Strange requirement.

    Just discovered @offmaps. Perfect for our trip to US next month! (I don’t get the bit about putting the icon to the right of Maps though?)

    RT @kcarruthers: OMG: Kids More Likely to Own a Cellphone Than a Book, Study Finds http://bit.ly/axGpU3 // WTF. DO BETTER, BREEDERS.

    @carbolicious It’s an objective term! Suck it up. And I’m gonna bring your kids a TON of books to OWN when I come visit! 😛

    Good grief. I am a self-referential negative nancy obsessed with numbers and living in the past! http://tweetpsych.com/?q=web_goddess

    @zedsains Dude, some Cody Simpson tweets can help with that.

    RT @damana: I’d like to ask all Geek Girls & their supporters to read, comment and support this post: http://twt.tl/6nWJHKo

    Please RT.

    Guess what I’ve been cooking tonight… http://souvlakiforthesoul.com/vegetarian-pastitsio-pies

    @tytana_ Hahaha, what do you want it for? So you can do sports betting on the couch?! 😛

    @discoknitter Excellent. I would’ve pegged you guys far over on the “Bookish People” side of the bell curve with us anyway. 🙂

    I blogged my homemade Vegetarian Pastitsio tonight. It was Mm Mm GOOOOOD. https://web-goddess.org/archive/9149

    @dancingman @misswired I should mention that we have two stupid cats. In case anyone is allergic to fuzzy, stupid cats

    Ha! Well, her song wasn’t actually featured very nicely.

    Vegetarian Pastitsio with silverbeet, zucchini, and bechemel! From this recipe: http://souvlakiforthesoul.com/vegetarian-pastitsio-pies

    If you liked the look of my dinner, I blogged about it here…

  • Vegetarian Pastitsio

    PastitsioVegetarian Pastitsio
    We got a lovely big bunch of silverbeet in this week’s Food Connect box that I wanted to use up while it was still fresh. I also had a couple zucchini in the fridge from last week. A quick Google search on the bus home from work (thank you iPhone!) led me to this: Vegetarian Pastitsio. It’s a baked pasta dish with sauteed silverbeet, zucchini, and garlic topped with a nummy bechamel sauce. We had nearly all the ingredients already. “This dish is perfect comfort food during the colder months,” Peter blogged. Done and done!

    The recipe isn’t terribly exact, but it was easy enough to follow. I separated the silverbeet stalks from the leaves and cooked the stalks first, reckoning they’d take a little longer. Then I threw in the zucchini, and then the chopped up leaves. I used two gloves of garlic, a pinch of dried chilli flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. (If you like a lot of garlic, maybe go an extra clove. I wish I did.) I used penne for the pasta, and I just eyeballed how much to cook. (It was probably about 400g or so.) The pasta and greens went into my baking dish along with a couple scoops of Greek yoghurt (I didn’t bother draining it), a beaten egg, some freshly ground nutmeg, and a scattering of cheese. While that was cooling, I made the bechamel and loaded that up with more nutmeg and cheese. The bechamel went on in a thick layer over the top. I baked it in a hot oven (probably about 190C) for about 30 minutes til the top went lovely brown and crusty. It made eight generous portions! Very tasty and warming on a cold wintry night…

    Rules of the House. So true. Our cats don’t want to curl up with us, though. They have both figured out that the funny metal thing at the end of the bed mysteriously gets hot at the same time every night, so they’ve taken to sleeping near it.

    Babies, babies!
    Congratulations to my brother Anthony and his wife Kara, who are expecting their third child. (Good grief! Between the Howards and the Carbos, we’ve now achieved an actual basketball team. Tall, hearty Midwestern stock, every single one of ’em!)

    And additional congratulations to a knitter friend of mine in Sydney, who is expecting her second. (She hasn’t blogged it yet, so it’s still on the down-low.)
