Vegetarian JZ and Vegan Jen are both quite excited by the prospect of vat-grown bacon.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

From what I've read, the tissue cultures that have been grown so far don't quite qualify as "meat" in the culinary sense.
Yes, but to be fair, neither does fast-food chicken tenders.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
One hates to honor Seward by doing housework, but I fear I must do a bit of that. At least I didn't yesterday!
You totally should clean your fridge & freezer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think the last time I had Alize was at work one day five years ago when a coworker found a bottle still in her jacket from the night before. It really hit the spot at work at 10am, I tell you what....
The raw food thing only bugs me because it takes up so much (any) of the salad bar at Whole Foods. I don't think they have any meat on the cold part of the salad bar, which kind of bugs me already, so bleh.
Oh, in other elitist grocery store news, I tried to go to the new Trader Joe's today, and the line was still snaking all around the store. This was at 4pm ten days after the store opened. I'm going to have to give it another couple of weeks before I try again.

You look great! And that brownie picture is a classic.

Now tagless for your comfort.
You're going to get your wish. They are already growing meat in the laboratory, so we will soon be able to buy chicken created without the bothersome and wasteful bones and, you know, chicken, attached to it. Imagine huge vats of RNA and amino acids, self assembling into giant chucks of chicken tenders. This is our future.
How very Neuromancer.
Mmm...vat-grown steak.
We went to the zoo. My GOD I look pregnant already (only 5 months).
With the second one, I looked pregnant as soon as the stick turned pink.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Casper is so pretty!
Talking of vat-grown steak reminds of that scene in The Fly Jeff Goldblum trying out the transported steak on his girlfriend.

What is even happening?
With the second one, I looked pregnant as soon as the stick turned pink.Me, too. With Ben, I was wearing my size 8 jeans (which I couldn't use as a dustrag, these days) until I was into my second trimester, and then just wore slightly larger stuff for a while. With Julia, I was in full blown maternity clothing by then. With Chris, I think I was in full maternity clothes in my second month.
flea, the thing is, you won't necessarily get any bigger with this pregnancy than you did with the first. It's just that your muscles are stretched out from the first one, and so you show earlier.
