Cass - I though Kiran is the name of P-C's little brother, but I coul dbe mis-remembering.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You are correct. Cass, I've been posting about India. There's one last story to tell, and Hec and Nonian want spoilers.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Cooking question: I'm looking at a recipe (flourless chocolate cake) which calls for "1 1/2 scant cups almonds." What does that "scant" mean?

I can't even.
JSw, took company coming in a few hours on Sunday to get me to do that. And today? Well I am skating on Sunday's progress... Except for the laundry, that is in and happily getting clean.
Oh, I got a haircut too, which I have needed for weeks. I must be ... leaving tomorrow to drive to Michigan and visit Buffistas. Doh! I need to pack too.
(Love your tag too...)
The Daily Show is totally my comfort zone these days. That Barbara Walters clip (So, Mister President, shall we begin the torture?") knocked me off the couch.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Hil, for me it means coma and death. Even scant will kill me.
For you, it means "you may have some left over but have that amount there just in case and don't add any extra or you'll weight the thing down."
Or that's how I usually take it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Scant means don't pack 'em in, and don't let the cups heap. Basically, "1 1/2 cups at most."

Oh! If I can ask a quick cooking question:
I really want to make pasta. My marinara sauce has a whole universe of Lutherans in the jar, unfortunately.
Can I just chop up a tomato and throw it in a pan with olive oil and garlic and basil? Will that work to toss on top of pasta? It seems like it would, but I've never made sauce from a raw tomato (as opposed to canned crushed tomatoes).

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
"Scant" means "just barely." So don't fill the 1/2 cup full to the brim, and don't pack the almonds down.

I've done that, and it's turned out just fine.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Wow, teppy, that sounds good to me.
I'm currently eating fresh guacamole with my tacos AIFG.
