Roald Dahl has some delumpcious (BFG) eating scenes - the best of which are in Danny The Champion of the World. The description of Toad-in-the-Hole in that book made it sound like the most delectable foodstuff ever invented.
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My friend M and I have this theory that all Almanzo could remember about his childhood with clarity was the food, and that is why there is so much of it. This is borne out by an interview I read with Rose interviewing him on the past and Almanzo giving all these terse one word answers.

The status is NOT quo.
I just got the info about the CTY class I will be teaching online this summer to 4th and 5th graders: [link]
This is going to be so much fun!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
You people are making me want to re-read the Little House books.
Maybe I'll take them on vacation later this month.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
This is going to be so much fun!
It sure looks like it. I've been wanting to read Inkheart. Maybe I should pick that up when I'm done with Poisonwood.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've been wanting to read Inkheart.
Yeah, it sounds cool!

move out and draw fire
I liked Inkheart quite a bit, although the DH did not. I couldn't make it through Inkspell though. I died of boredom.
The Water Mirror was quite good also, but doesn't resolve in one book.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Daddy long legs is one of my all time favorite books. I think my last copy fell apart. had the movie in my house or TIVOed a number of times, but couldn't watch it. Glad to hear my instincts were protecting me.
I haven't read Inkheart. I am wondering if we have enough copies for my book Club ... the next meeting for that is OCTOBER and I promised them Harry Potter 7 for that one. I want to read some grown up books in June!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Once upon a time, I had a Little House cookbook. Had the recipes for succotash and maple/snow candy and taffy and roast pig and johnnycakes. I wonder where the hell that went to?
