The result has the texture of chicken, and BBQ sauce (which is my only experience with this recipe) has such a strong flavor that that's all you taste. So it's like baked chicken.

Awesome. I have marked your post and will try this. Also, duh, I could learn how to make miso soup, which I love and would totally eat.

And Chaucer in Middle English just makes me feel stupid.

It gets easier as you go along. Of course, now when I look at it, it makes no sense whatsoever! You can always get a modern version to read alongside of the Middle English. .

People keep saying that Sue. And i understand what you mean. But seriously? It's all a mystery.

I found when I listen it to it read aloud, I get most of it, if I follow along with the riverside edition. But damn. It's too hard.

Which is why I have a shirt that says, "Chaucer. Because Shakespeare Was Too Easy."

Has anyone else seen those "guy lives in his car for a week" ads? Does anyone else think they're kind of offensive?

I hate that guy.

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

I hate that guy.

I watched a full ad for that online by mistake.

I don't see the point. I don't need my car to be livable. Drivable's much more important.

Finally bought ticket home for Christmas. Thank dog that's out of the way.

Thanks for the offer, Kristin. I need the kind of help that's a high-paying job on the west side. Got any? I'm about to become less picky.

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

I hate that guy.

Me too.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Kat, my dad did his thesis on Chaucer. Loves the stuff. I like it, but love it? Not so much. I did memorize the Prologue in Middle English for one of my undergrad classes, though, which is useful only so far as it baffles high school students.

Ummm....Unless I can talk my school into starting a krav class, I got nothin'. Dammit.

I know the first 18 lines of the prologue (as do my students!) and the prologue for chaucer's troilus. Oof. I should go work on my paper.
