I find food with faces somewhat grounding. I at least like to know which way is up, so I can feel I'm not eating some alien creature.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

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

The big problem with the minnow soup (beyond the insurmountable fish issue which is wholly mine) was that , well, see.... Ok, so you have a clear yellow broth with some onions and whatnot in it and then they pour it into a glass bowl and there are these 2" long black minnows swimming around in it except they aren't swimming of course and then you choke out something between giggles about I'm not eating out of a fishtank and you have to put a napkin over it while you eat the rest of your meal so you can stop laughing and crying and the rest of the meal* isn't much better but it isn't a freaking fishtank.
* The rest of the meal involved meat jello salad and unidentifiable meat pods. That were called pods. I can't figure out why I didn't lose half my bodyweight in Russia. Oh yeah, the bread and ice cream.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
In Greece they deep-fry little fishes (2 inch) whole, and you eat them whole. Often with garlic dip or tzatziki. Very nice, crunchy, you just don't think about the heads and bones and such.
Yeah, we had some crispy smelts the other day! Bob noted the Greeks love their smelt.
Usually I don't notice a head on either anchovy or sardines, and I almost always get them in oil. On the other hand, the same night as the smelt we got a whole sea bass, which was a little much. Greek-raised Bob ate lots of the head & tail, though.

Sorry, Fred. All iguanas are Franks, which really freaked out a friend of mine by that name. I couldn't make him understand that no, he did not make me think of iguanas, and no, iguanas didn't make me think of him. Iguanas are just Franks. As is he. But a different kind of Frank. It just is.

Oh, just a little silliness, sarameg.
How's the AC situation?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Those smelts sound like my favorite thing ever.

I don't know yet! I'm expecting the worst.

Is Bob Bob Greek, or did he just happen to be raised in Greece?

I love a good whole LARGE fish. I'm not as into the heads and tails as other members of my family, since they're tastiest when fried, but slice up the inside of my mouth.
I do make sure to eat the eyes if there are kids watching.
ABCNews on bloated stars--a little harsh, but Steven Baldwin looks terrible.
Hmm. Looks like I have an archive trawl ahead of me to look up that intimacy reference.
