The Oxygen Channel is having a plus-size beauty contest, hosted by someone named Monique who appears to be famous. I just a commercial for it. It's... well, I dislike the whole concept of beauty contests, but if we're going to have them, I say, equal time for other types of beauty.

[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
If only every guy thought so.
Huh. Stoopid guys. If smart girls weren't hot, we wouldn't have a smart Homo sapiens. How can we be H. sapiens without the sapiens?!
My date tomorrow has taken to calling me William the Smart. I'm not sure whether to encourage this or not. I guess it depends whether she's adding "-arse" under her breath.

Well, at least if she did with the same affection I am imagining it right now (AIFG) . Otherwise she'll need smiting.
I think they feel (wisely so) that all potentially-fertile females should take it, as it's sort of a pre-conception/pre-knowing-you're-knocked-up thing of import for preventing neural tube defects. IIRC, it's why most breads are now fortified with it. Because you never know, and you can't do a retroactive upping of your levels.Oh, I totally agree with trying to make sure that any woman who might possibly get pregnant is already getting folic acid. Especially as there's no way to go back and change things after the fact. Just amused at my doctor's little checklist.
He also tells me to give up dairy every time I see him. I have no trouble with dairy, it is just His Thing. He tells everyone this. No matter the reason you are there.
Then he asks about coffee. He doesn't realize that they are my OTP and let no man tear asunder what the cafe au lait hath brought together.

All is well that ends in pizza.
1. Slice the zucchini.
2. Dip pieces of zucchini in a slightly beaten egg.
3. Dip egged pieces of zucchini in corn meal.
4. Fry in vegetable oil for 3-5 minutes on each side, lightly salting and peppering each side.
5. Eat!
I have some ground pecans, I wonder if that would work instead of corn meal? or maybe half and half with corn meal...

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I can't believe the ease of fried zucchini is a surprise to you guys. It's the same way you fry okra, though my mom usually mixes a little flour in with the cornmeal. And now I want okra.
I just got back from Chicago, the play that is. Went with a friend for my birthday. It was really great. I swear, if I'd known I had to turn 42 to have an awesome birthday, I would've stopped dragging my feet about it.

Hi Deena. I love Okra - but the Okra I love has always been the stuff I buy frozen. Someone told me that the local County Fair (held once a year - and this weekend) will have fresh Okra.
They add that fresh Okra is a whole dimension beyond frozen - that if I've only eaten frozen I've never really tasted Okra. True? Worth a one hour drive?

Hey Gar! Honestly, I don't think the difference is that huge, as long as the frozen was flash frozen in separate pieces, pre-breaded, and handled properly. It's all still okra, though fresh is better. I'd want something more than okra at the end of an hour drive, though.
Aimee, insent.

The status is NOT quo.
Deena! I missed your birthday, so happy belated.
Cass, may I tag? Pretty please?

Will you buy me a coffee?
Um, I mean, of course.
Hi there!

Oh, if she is, you should definitely encourage it.
I only started folic acid when I went off the pill (i.e. when we decided to get pregnant), so I only had 2 months of it prior to conceiving, and the little tyke has all the right parts in all the right places. And I wasn't 100% on taking the pre-natals, since they made me so very naseous.
Honestly, one of the best things about stopping nursing and going full-formula is that I don't worry about his nutrition so much (being sure that mine is horrible no matter what).
That said, I have a ton of zucchini, so I think some are gonna get fried. I wish I could get green tomatoes here also.
