Buffistas

Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

I was shopping tonight, and tried to get dinner at the middle eastern place at the food court of the mall. The conversation ended up something like this:

Me: I'd like the salad sampler, but with baba ganoush instead of tabbouleh.
Counter Guy: The salad sampler? That is hummus, fattoush, and tabbouleh.
Me: Yes, but I'd like to get it with baba ganoush instead of tabbouleh. Can I get that?
Him: You want to get falafel?
Me: No, I'd like a salad sampler. But I want it with baba ganoush INSTEAD OF tabbouleh. Can I get that?
Him: You don't like hummus?

After about five minutes of this, with me trying any way I could to explain what I wanted (and I've gotten it there before, with no problem), and him suggesting just about every other item on the menu, I finally gave up.

Evening all

You talking about convincing people of impossibilities with bald-faced lies?

strawberry soup with a dollop of yogurt sorbet

I must admit this confuses me while still sounding yummy. I thought sorbets had no dairy at all in them.

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

Depends who you ask. Some people make a sorbet/sherbet distinction, other use them as broad synonyms.

I've never confused sorbet with a broad.

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

I'm so jealous of Beth's brunch.
