I am a Dual OS Household Again!

Ok, technically, counting Android, I'm a 3 OS household, but nevermind. Wolfe the Dell is back in-house, allegedly and reportedly fixed of his pre-existing mental twitch (he would 'forget' how to find his hard drive periodically, which made him useless to me).

Of course, in the process the free sample of Word expired. So now I have Word for Mac on the laptop (Archie), and a PC with no word processing software. I really don't want to buy another copy of Word..... I suspect OpenOffice and I might try a trial re-negotiation. But if anyone has a better suggestion...?

I don't care wwhat Emeril says....

I don't understand people who need a faster way to peel garlic. How long does it take, out of your life? Even if you're peeling the entire head...

Cooking isn't slam-bam. Like all things worth doing well, it's worth taking your time, enjoying the action for itself, as well as for the end result. Pull, crush, slip the paper, mince fine. Breathe in, and exhale.

(yes of course I like my kitchen toys. My food processor and my hand-held mixer, my coffee grinder and my blender. But there is an unmistakable satisfaction in hand-kneading dough, or spoon-mixing batter, too.)

This thought brought to you by tonight's dinner, linguini with a garlic-onion-spinach dressing.
