Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath  

[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.

Silly Lilty! You didn't kill Bitches!

I'm off attempting to write a Sestina poem. This is...well...interesting.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Weird. Did we know that Li'l Kim might be facing 30 years in prison? For perjury? [link]

Best bit of the article:

Judge Lynch told [jurors] that they could not listen to Hot 97, a major New York hip-hop and rap station, during the trial, and they all agreed that it would not be a hardship for them.

Girl Scout cookies:

It does sound like one of the more interesting jury selections:

In a selection process that began last week, many prospective jurors were eliminated because of what Judge Lynch called "significant negative stereotypes" about rap music. Prosecutors and defense lawyers agreed to eliminate one juror who said on a pretrial questionnaire that "a lot of them seem to shoot each other." Another juror who was removed from the pool said that drugs and crime seemed "to be part of their culture."

A number of possible jurors objected to the raunchy lyrics and scant clothing of Ms. Jones, who is described as the Mae West of rap music on her main fan Web site. One juror complained that she "spends a lot of money on diamonds," and seemed "like she would do almost anything for money." The juror was dismissed.

Judge Lynch declined to eliminate several jurors who he said had disliked Ms. Jones's "fashion sense," but they were struck from the pool by government and defense lawyers.

And actually, I'm kind of impressed that they seem to have gone to a lot of trouble to get a fair jury.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I am in need of recommendations for easy-to-prepare vegetable dishes that are on the bland side, or, at the bare minimum, low acidity.

I haven't been eating enough (or any) veggies for the past couple of weeks, because my stomach -- and my *tongue* -- are reacting very badly to any acidic food, from citrus to tomato to battery acid.

Potatoes, which I adore, are the blandest of the bland, but then, they're really less of a "veggie" and more of a starch.

Any suggestions? Please? I fear scurvy or pellegra are imminent.

What is even happening?

Cashmere, if you're about, how is your mom's recovery coming along? Did you take Owen to see her over the weekend?

I'm off for a while. Scott is working from home today, and apparently has to use the computer for actual work.

Teppy, were you on an antibiotic recently? Even if not, is there any chance you could have thrush or something, that's making your tongue sensitive.

*flashes back to complete stranger in ER who showed me her tongue*

Sweet potatoes? I think of them as being less starch and more veg than regular potatoes. Maybe some squash-type stuff, pumpkin soup and the like?

Roughly chop a bunch of kale. Toss with salt, pepper, and garlic. Steam 5-7 minutes, or until just wilted. (This also works great with chard.)

You can also pan-roast just about anything -- carrots, peppers, eggplant, asparagus, squash, whatever. Just drizzle with olive oil, salt & pepper, and bake at 350-ish for 30 minutse or until golden brown and delicious.
