Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

I've been told not to buy the Two Buck Chuck wine--apparently it's so bad you'll want to give a blow job afterwards to get the taste out of your mouth.

I also didn't like their frozen burritos. They reheated disgustingly, both by oven and microwave. Bought some noodle bowls (just add hot water) and they're incredibly salty.

All the best in one place! Thanks, Lee. I'll look for it later to stick in my memories.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think that is the downfall of all noodle bowls. I've never been a fan of them so I suspect I'm safe, there.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten those. Even I think they are vilely salty, and I like salt. They are much much worse than ramen and most others I've run across. And they turn to glue really fast. Bleck.

Thanks, Lee! All set so I can get my fix go shopping when I actually need groceries. I forgot TJs was opening today and did my weekly shopping yesterday.

The TJ's that I go to has just started stocking a bigger range of nitrite-free deli meat. So maybe I can find out if I like pastrami. Sadly, at least one of the sorts of sliced roast beef was much too salty. But it isn't normally.

I like their Greek yoghurt too, but it's recently started triggering migraines. They have cream top yoghurt I like too, although I'm down to just the one non-trigger flavour.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Fun picture that was done as a promo for Laughing Squid: [link]

Man, I need this as wallpaper or something....

Also, and earwormed with Bowie's "Laughing Gnome," except with 'Gnome' replaced by 'Squid.'

I have a bottle but have not broken the seal. Will report when and if I do.
