Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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.

They do that in Italy too. My family makes smelts, only headless. They still have the bones, which are usually so thin and soft that eating them isn't a problem and their tails, which you don't eat.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Bob Bob's father is Greek and he lived in Greece for various periods of time.

Those smelts sound like my favorite thing ever.

Parea, on E 20th.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

starts muffaletta-like kerfuffle, without the olives.

Don't you mean, "kerfluffle"? (can't believe I got there first)

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.

*bristles*

Plus, I loved Linda Hamilton's iguana Pugsly in THE TERMINATOR.

Did I ruffle your crest? I sincerely didn't mean to.

So, today I have managed to make it sound as if I were calling one person a turkey and another a lizard! Whee.

"Parea" is a nice word in Greek - it means "my gang of friends".

You people have now made me hungry for saganaki. The nearest place I know of that definitely serves it is a nine-and-a-half hour drive away.

You can have your flaming rubber cheese, but now I want some deep-fried zucchini slices. More like crack than french fries...

It was the New York Times that set me off on a Greek food fetish today, with the recipe for a coffee frappe in the Dining section.
