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.

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 Frank started it! Obvious fois gras bashing!

Don't bash your fois gras, just give it to me.

I hate liver with quite a passion, except when it comes in foie gras form. That's nummy, and I'm craving some now.

I'm anti-muffin top because I'm anti-cinching-to-excess. If you can hide the cinch overflow under your clothing, fine. Or if it's a corset which takes care of the whole deal. Otherwise it looks uncomfortable and messy.

See also salty fish eggs aka caviar. "Rich" and "decadent" don't hold a lot of water with me if it still tastes like liver and/or salty fish eggs. Even if I wasn't footing the bill.

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

I'm saying the spun-sugar PowerPoint slides definitely qualify.
