I am glad you had a good visit with the parents, but one important question remains, ita.
Did they bring us you any tamarind balls?
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

you are kind of crazy. But we love you anyway, ita.
I'm too distracted even to knit. AM COLD. Stupid dryer outside with the back door open.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
While not a crazy cat lady, I suppose I can do a good imitation of a crazy Jamaican-food-hoarding lady.
Pretty damned good.
I have eaten most of the patties, but there are enough tamarind balls to share with gusto. Also ackee and saltfish, if I read my fridge right.
I feel a need to clean again from top to toe, so everything is in the place where I put it, and it smells like my house, not like their house (I'm not sure how that worked).
HOWEVER, what I'm going to do is pour myself a glass of the sorrell my mother kindly made, spike it with the good rum, and lie around smiling.

it worked like this: there were two of them and one of you. There smells outnumbered yours.
Aw, you're holding out on me with patties. Am hurt.
First my friend S* held out on tamales and now this.
sniff.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Single malt whiskey. Also, some Korean dish called kim-shee, which sounds, looks, and smells awful , but is really great to eat. Also, television in German in the background. My 2005 is weirder than yours.

Kimchee is great when done right. Did your ladylove have aught to do with it being available? It is not a dish one normally associates with Switzerland.

I admit it. I bogarted the patties.
And I'd do it again. I'm that kind of hard core.
I'd forgotten Hugh Laurie was in Spooks! He's playing exactly the same personality as in House, but the magic is -- he's in a position where I can see how he gets away with it.
