What gets me is that muffin-top seems to be a "look" right now.

Umm you know a cute little belly sticking out over jeans does not neccesarily look bad on a woman. I mean to a guy. Maybe I just have very weird tast; but on a good looking woman a small muffin top can be sexy. Should I post this? Oh hell, y'all already knew I was strange.

English cherry tomatoes and rocket, plus peppers roasted on a naked flame and then skinned and sliced finely, complete the presentation.

How much do you have to spend on your food before it has a presentation?

I wish I were big.

You're still big, bon. It's the pictures that got smaller.

I think the main component of the muffin topness is the poking out over the sides. But I have not conferred on that.

I have a friction burn on my left elbow from krav yesterday. Somehow it irritates me more than the new bruises.

In IM with my sister I realised that I have seven pairs of black boots, and almost bought another pair this past weekend. She asked if they all looked the same, and really, they don't. They all have valid reasons for existing in my closet. As do the white, blue/grey, and brown ones.

I'm not sure precisely when I became a boot whore.

Gar, I think the muffin top is more when the "waist" band of lowrise pants is too tight around the hips and hits the hips at just the wrong spot--leaving hip padding overflowing the top of the pants, on either side. It's not that cute little belly thing.

edit...

Or what ita said.

Are you really going to make the Sun go away on Friday?

Dear Og,

Have you tried rebooting?

Sincerely,
shrift

P.S. A flashlight is advised.

spread with a mayonnaise flavoured with foie gras

This is where they lost me - don't want any liver-ish items on my mega-expensive sandwich. Can't say mayo is a draw in and of itself either (maybe if it was a good garlic aioli).

and then basted with yet more foie gras

How the heck do you baste something with foie gras? It must be foie gras something, and not just foie gras.

Also, not sure what I think of the idea of "fermented" bread.

Re Muffin tops:

I sit corrected. Actually I'm not certain I find that all that apalling either but - not what I was visualizing.

Gar, this is more of a muffin top look: [link]

See, here's the problem. Ya gotta stop thinking of it as "liver-ish" and more "the richest most decadent food that goes on toast points."

t sits back and waits for the anti fois gras contingent to come out

t Frank started it! Obvious fois gras bashing!
