Hee. I just watched that episode tonight.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
AFAICT, the big difference between chai in America and chai in India is that in India they actually put tea in it.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I've had two types of chai. The first way was steeping a chai flavored tea bag in water, the second is a combination of milk and chai concentrate (Tazo or Oregon chai). I'm not sure which way I like it best but I'm leaning towards the concentrate.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
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?

Let's add the problem of trying to figure out how many grains a "pinch of salt" is.

And how do you deduce that, smarty-pants? Hmmm?

All is well that ends in pizza.
For the last few months, even more, there has been a commercial for a cheapass laser level that makes me grind my teeth every time it is on.
I don't mind it, for the most part, cheesy dialog pomising leveling it really can't deliver, because it's just a straight edge light. No problem, homeowners can learn to use a bubble level if they have to.
No, it's not your ordinary cheese that makes my teeth grind. it's the voiceover saying "It even goes around corners!" and showing it lighting around an outside corner.
I can't help the alarm bells that go off and make me wince and grumble "No it can't!"
Yes, if you point it from somewhere opposite the corner, it can illuminate a line across the two walls, joined at the corner, but it does not "go around" the frickin corner, dammit.

Obviously what you'd need in that case is one of those fancyshmancy sets of "pinch" and "dash" spoons. Then you could count.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I am fine with inexact measurements. Those are not inexact measurements, they're faux-exact measurements.
