Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

of food, not haiku.

That's such a wistful dog picture!

Isn't it? I'm looking for the totally beautiful one we have of Kuma in the painted desert.

One of the restaurants in my 'hood offers a mashed potato pizza, which is pure carb overload.

That sounds so good.

Art Crawl!!!

It's not that people have difficulty reading them -- but that other dogs do -- because their natural posture is read by dogs as being aggressive, alpha-ish. (The reaction of the dog probably depends on whether it would submit or challenge the "northern" dog.)

ita, Bear DOES SMILE. No CGI in this picture.

She looks so young! She still even had all her teeth. Poor baby.

man, now I want some pizza.

We have gotten whole wheat pizza dough from Trader Joe's and had fun with that. Yum. My fave homemade pizza is olive oil/garlic over the dough, then spinach on top of that, more EVOO/garlic mixture, and mozzeralla and ricotta cheeses. YUM.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I used to get a great BLT pizza at a local place - cheese, bacon, and tomato on the pizza, then topped with shredded lettuce once it came out of the oven. So good. Same place did a really good tuna melt pizza too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Winn Dixie:

1939: Bill Lovett, head of Winn & Lovett, successfully convinces the Davis brothers to acquire 51 percent of his company's 73 stores. The acquisition is the springboard from which the company will expand after the conclusion of World War II in the early 1940s.
1944: The Davis brothers adopt the Winn & Lovett name and Jacksonville headquarters for their growing network of stores.
1945: Winn & Lovett purchases 31 Steiden Stores in Kentucky.
1949: Winn & Lovett makes another acquisition, Margaret Ann Stores, which adds 46 stores in Florida.
1952: Winn & Lovett lists on the New York Stock Exchange, making it the first Florida industrial corporation to do so. The company's original ticker symbol, WIN, still is used today.
1955: Winn & Lovett purchases Penney Stores in Mississippi, as well as Ballentine Stores and Eden Stores, both in South Carolina.
1955: Through the acquisition of 117 Dixie Home Stores, the Winn & Lovett name is changed to Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc.

My favourite "strange" pizza was a crab and spinach cream sauce one. Extra thin crust, stone oven baked, just delicious. Pizzaiole in Montreal rocks.
