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

Blah. So I shut down my web browser because tech support needed to use my machine, and I lost the carefully crafted (and oh-so-witty, naturally) e-mail reply I'd been writing. Sometimes thin clients suck.

Hey Alibelle, where are you post-graduation? East Coast somewhere?

Cindy, have you ever had fried calamari? It's usually served out here with aioli (garlic mayonaisse).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh yes, that is nummy.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Calamari, yum.

I think I need to go make some lunch.

I haven't, because I don't do squid. My father-in-law loves it, though.

(I don't mind aioli, or regular mayo, for that matter, just not on french fries). I love seafood, but give me lobster, mussels, steamers, crab, scallops, and some fish (not all). Mostly, I think frying it is a waste of good food. Don't get me wrong, I'll eat it, but I prefer it otherwise. Steam it, baby, or maybe broil it, depending on the food.

Aioli is one of the recipes in the new Cook's Illustrated. Ooh - so is blueberry buckle. Weren't we just talking about that?

Actually, Hec, to be clear, I have had calimari, I just don't like it.

UGH incapable of complete thought.

I just have never had calimari with aioli.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sometimes thin clients suck.

Are you being sizeist, ita?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Mmmm, Billie Holiday is singing "You Go To My Head" right now which is very spiff.

Unfortunately, this otherwise nearly comprehensive collection of Billie does not include her version of "Willow Weep For Me" which I learned to learn from the crap early sixties art-house movie Eva by Joseph Losey. In the movie, Jeanne Moreau is a femme fatale with heavy eyeliner who lounges about her in stockings and bra, smoking cigarettes and looking existential and playing "Willow Weep For Me" over and over. Then she goes and destroys some man's life.
