Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
happily bubbling away (thanks for the answer on the clementine, Cindy, btw).Oh, you're welcome, bon bon. I just ate, but your post is making me hungry. I realized afterwards that I probably should have asked what you were using the zest for. I think you can substitute most citrus zests for each other (although I might hesitate to use lime). I'd definitely try any of them in a fruit cake.
Are you going to give us a recipe.
George Carlin had a great bit on the difference.

It's even better when you can hear Carlin do the delivery. There is a link for that at the bottom of the page, but it is a RealAudio stream.
Yo, Buffistas!
Emily! I thought maybe they didn't have the internets in your neighborhood, any more.
Oh, they have it (intermittently); I just don't get around to the posting very much. I've been checking in from time to time, just often so braindead that I don't have much to say. But I miss, you know, people!
How is your place? Your job? What did you do for the holidays?
My place is crowded and very messy -- a combination of no time and really not much inclination to clean. My neighborhood seems to be essentially Mos Eisley without the fun aliens. My school... god, don't even go there. Not a good week for it. And I went to Paris over Christmas! So that was nice. Spent Christmas even trying to explain in broken, drunken French why my students have to take two math classes and two language arts classes and are still way below grade level. Also about what it means not to have nationalized health care. This was not in my high school French classes! "Si nous n'avons pas l'insurance, et il faut que nous allons a l'hopital, nous devons payer -- payer? yeah? -- depuis nous n'avons rien d'argent. Rien! Alors, le gouvernement payent." I'm not sure it made sense even in English, but hey -- drunk!
And I went to Paris over Christmas!If I knew that, I'd forgotten. How wonderful. Wait. Did you go with your dad?

Did you go with your dad?
Yup!
