Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Money, sex, and chocolate.

Yay.

I want Liese's food days.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I would like her food days without the ham and the jicama. Fruit in the salad rocks, though.

I like jicama. I almost never eat ham, but every once in a while, if it's made right and sliced thin, I like it.

If ham is made right, I think it's too salty for me.

I've never had jicama, I think. It's just not a fruit, and not spinach. Why waste space with it?

Okay, taking my tired body to bed.

I recommend kettlebell for people trying to increase their core strength, balance, and humility.

Fuck.

That's one of my criteria for it being made "right"-- it can't be that salty.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The ham was free, and from a local processor. Does that count for something?

The recipe called for a bay leaf, rosemary and fresh lemon juice rub, left on overnight. Then baked, basted with white wine (and grappa, but I skipped the grappa), and baked some more. It was really not very salty at all. It was a fresh ham, not cured, so there wasn't any residual salt to begin with.

I really liked the jicama. It was new to me.

I was also glad I'd eaten the fish before reading the alarming mercury studies.

I love jicama. Slightly sweet, crunchy, a little starchy. Peeling it is a bitch. Delicious though.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I had trouble peeling it. Any tricks? 'Cause I was in a hurry and ended up only peeling the half I needed immediately, and I still think I did something to either my fingernail or my paring knife.

I was expecting the crunchy and starchy, but the sweet was a pleasant surprise.

In other news? That "Because daddy never hugged me/Because the more they love me the more I love myself" VW Passat commercial is creepifying and really upsetting.

Buy it peeled or ask someone else to do it?

Alternately, I use a knife and take off thin slabs instead of a peeler trying to just remove the skin. You lose more of the jicama but it is faster.

Often it is served sprinkled with chili powder. Which is good. But I like it plain.
