I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Definitely want more! As often as you want to send it - I'm a lady of leisure at the moment, so I should be able to get a quicker turn around.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Huh. I'm a freak - I don't eat for comfort and I have no specific memories that include food for comfort.

I've tried making comfort food for other people, yes. But I haven't got a single memory link to food that comforts me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I have one brewing, but it's a downer, and I dunno if I want to spew it out just yet. We'll see.

move out and draw fire

I wanted to do something about nursing for this topic, but my brain is mushy and I can't write.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

As I'm getting closer to completion, I keep feeling like everything is completely wrong, and when my editor gets it, he'll make me give the money back because it's ALL WRONG.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Because books.

All. The. Time.

But it won't actually happen.

Connie, the next time my mom makes my grandma's fudge, I'll have to sned some to you. It is quintessential grandma fudge. My mom is not the world's greatest cook, but her fudge fuckin' rocks.

Fudge . . .

I will avoid restarting the holy war of nuts vs. no nuts.

My mother grew up during the Depression, too, and learned the myriad ways of hamburger. Unfortunately, that included that king of DisComfort food, slumgullion (however it's spelled). Hamburger, macaroni, a can of stewed tomatoes. That's it. Mother was not a devotee of the spice rack, all things considered. I cannot bear stewed tomatoes. Well, honestly, I can't stand tomatoes close to their natural state in any case.

Also in the DisComfort food, ham bone and beans. I don't know why, I love ham, and beans are pretty neutral to me, but something about the way it smelled just turned my stomach.

Still, I have the last laugh, because I was always teased for meticulously slicing off all bits of visible fat from my pork chops.
