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

Pretty much the definition I use too. Big shrimp taste different than little shrimp - at least to me.

When it comes to food that comes from the water I'm taste-deaf. I like river trout (mmmm, rainbow in cornmeal crust with chile) and crawdads/shrimp/prawns. I grew up in a desert, what can I say? I had a beautiful white beach nearby, but no ocean.
The result is I have no idea how to cook fish. I managed not to kill the 11 year old bestman/stepson of my friend when I cooked up the trout he caught the morning of the wedding. MAJOR accomplishment. For him and me (it was the biggest and only 2nd fish he'd ever caught. Funniest thing ever was driving back to Boise and at every stoplight, he's slap the fish up to the window to show other drivers. Nearly caused an accident.)

The couple who lamented not getting a chance to really look at the armies were so adorable. They are mostly bland because they are so sane and undramatic, but I wish them well.

TAR: Is it wrong for me to be glad that Hayden and Aaron are having such horrible luck.

Anne, no.
And the roadblock is a bitch! EEEvil.

Lee is SO INCREDIBLY WRONG ABOUT SWISS CHEESE.
Thanks, DX. Next time the convo comes back round to cheese (Convo #8654 for the Life Serial Thread), I got your back. You're a good man.
