And second – I now know what people mean when they talk about a night that swallows light. As I was driving home from grocery shopping tonight (to get stuff for tomorrow’s teacher carry-in) I was just astonished at how dark it was even when my lights were on. I first wondered if maybe I had a pididdle, but no, both of my headlights were fine. Just damned dark. The dark that sucks out the marrow of light. (Ewww, that’s rather gross imagery.)

So, what is Trina taking for the carry-in? Reuben Dip. Probably one of the most fattening things in the family cookbook (and my family excels at fattening).
