Dana! Very glad your family is okay.
Also, you were right about Mr. Tumnus.

Since it's Ireland, I think "grey" because you are referring to the colour of grey rather than the color of gray.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You can have em. Carrots should not be grey. Meat? Should never be grey.
My people? Lousy cooks.
eta: except for that really salty porridge. Which is also grey...but salty!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
No kidding. No matter how many times I have made corned beef and cabbage and carrots, it's NEVER turned grey.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just try and avoid cabbage (easy enough in Jamaican food) and corned beef (less so, but we had a low sodium household).

I blame James McAvoy for the wrong thoughts I'm having.
