Easily one of the best moments in television... the Cosby Show crashes into Ray Charles...

The Other Royal Wedding
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Harris...
Oh ya, that's right. Totally hijacked it!
The co-mutual adpotion has been a blessing. May the rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock always be with you. My soft kitty is your soft kitty.
Now pass the gravy and hug me!

I Blame Cath And Amy
Am back. On Facebook. Ugh. I feel like I just handed over every shred of decency I have to Mark Zuckerberg and he is doing unspeakable things to it. This better work better than it did last time girls!
Yes, I remember what I said about Facebook and all its co-conspirators last year. I still stand by that. I have even more arguments against it (planking, homicide due to wall posts and Farmville) now and, quite frankly speaking, cannot wait until the next thing comes along. Oh sit down Justin "I just bought MySpace" Timberlake. Best you will do is piss YouTube off. This business of you trying to be an actor and trying to relive your Social Network days makes you look silly, cheesy, and deficient. I digress...
Are we fighting yet, Amy?
As a precaution, I have created an account that is part my name, part not. So if you want to add me as a friend, and if I think youwill not stalk my life and irritate the fuck out of me with your narcissistic wannabe bullshit are worthy, I will add you. You can email me privately for further information.
If I do not respond to your email or add request, I want you to give some really deep thought as to why I have not before you blast me about it and start calling me all the bitches under the sun in your news feed, status box, etc. I mean really really deep thought. And then choose my answer(s) from the following list that best apply to you (and they do):
a] I am not interested in your drama.
b] I am not interested in you stalking my life.
c] I really just tolerate you because I find myself in socialized situations where I am required to or I may loose my job.
d] You are a friendwhore, we are not now nor will we ever be friends, and I would not be caught dead on your friends list.
e] Your "join this club" invitations and all the other spam you posted on my wall last time I was on Facebook created so much spam I had to abandon a much loved email address. Fuck off with the invites, I can join myself.
f] We may be related but that does not mean I like you or would consider you a "friend".
g] You bore me with your feeble and pathetic attempts to look cool. If you really were as cool as you want me to think you are, if your life was as cool as you attempt to project onto me, you would understand that cool never ever tries. Cool just is.

One More Try
Every once in a while I find a place, or a man, that I cannot seem to walk away from. Giving these places (and men) another try has been, in some cases beneficial. In other cases it has simply left a bad taste in my mouth.
Careit in Crestwood is one of those places. I want to fall in love with Careit. I love their story, their philosophy, and their menu. I really really want to love this place. I have visited Careit several times and I have to be honest when I say that while I do not want to walk away from it, Careit is only getting one more try.
Careit, we need to talk about seasoning and customer service. Both are really hit and miss at your place and it is unfortunate that you have such great ingredients at your disposal but do not respect them or your customers enough to turn out the high quality food you have the potential to deliver. The lack of consistency makes me skeptical. So does the inability to get about 30% of your advertised menu items, regardless of what time of day I have been there. At this point, all that is keeping me in the game is a great price point, a clean shop, and a few items from the menu I have not yet tried.
Be warned, Careit. We may just have to break up, even if you have the world's best carrot cookies. And we do not want that, do we?
Ratings:
Appearance: Clean but poorly lit.
Service: Hit and miss. Some staff cannot help you enough, some cannot be bothered to acknowledge your presence.
Food: Home cooked and health conscious but just OK, 5.5/10
Overall rating: Will be back but only because there are other items on the menu I want to try
Chicken Pot Pie:
(A little note... again, I used my ghetto phone camera so be warned!)
The portion size on this pie is perfect for lunch. The puff pastry topping wasn't all that flaky and to be honest, I suspect it may have been frozen; the taste and texture were a bit off. I do love me some chicken pot pie but this one was a bit train wrecky. The potatoes were undercooked, the chicken was scarce, and it was desperately underseasoned to the point where it screamed for sage and I will not even tell you how much salt and pepper I had to add. Overall, 4/10.
Crab and Roasted Pepper Quiche:
Again, the portion size is great for lunch. While the quiche was dense, it still had a light sensibility to it. The amount of crab and pepper was perfect for the size of the quiche. The pastry was perfect but the quiche itself could have used a bit of salt and pepper at the very least. Overall, 7/10.
While I will give Careit one more try, I will not be having the chicken pot pie. I may go back to the mac and cheese as it was pretty good the last time I had it. If you do chose to go, go early as the fresh items go fast and you will be left with really old rusting salads and beet hummus as your lunch options. Bring a knife too because every time I have been to Careit, knives have not been available for take out food.
