I just tried the Chantico, and I was right -- it was Way Too Much for me. That one sip was OK, but I couldn't have a second.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

it's not its fault that we don't use "to sup" instead of "to eat" anymore.
With my kids, sitting down to dinner definitely does not mean that eating will actually take place.

I've always thought the word breakfast has a certain poetry to it that the other meals lack.
Yes, it does.
The Hebrew equivalent to "brunch" (which is a combination of the words for "morning" and "noon", of course, in the lack of other words) is kinda ugly. People sometimes say just "brunch", the English word, because it has a nicer sound.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
'Dinner' also means "to dine." WTF does "lunch" mean? Did 'lunch' the verb come from 'lunch' the meal?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh, come on -- "brunch" is a beautiful word!
"What's brunch?"
"It's not quite breakfast, it's not quite lunch, but it comes with a slice of cantaloupe at the end."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We sup at supper, dine at dinner, and break our fasts at breakfast. Right?

tommyrot, Webster says that lunch-the-noun was probably formed from "luncheon" in 1812 or so (luncheon is from 1652), and lunch-the-verb was cited in 1823.
Lunch has now lost all meaning. Lunchlunchlunchlunchlunch.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Say it ain't so.
