How is the book coming along?

I was able to do a lot of work on it in November and December, and I'm pleased with what I've got. Haven't been able to work on it much during the holidays and now I'm temping again. It's due in April and I've got to find the time to finish it one way or another. But I'm pleased with what I've got - some of my better writing.

And I'd forgotten one of the great compensating perks of being on Atkins: turkey bacon as an afternoon snack.

turkey bacon? How about the real deal?

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

Bacon bacon?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Some of us like turkey bacon better than the regular kind.

Matt, it's good to read that your day turned out better.

I'm pleased with what I've got - some of my better writing

Oh, and it's good to read this, as well. Good luck with the rest!

turkey bacon

Well, it can be kosher this way. In the brunch in NYC there was this fake-bacon (I'm not sure what it was really made of), so I actually know, for once, what food y'all are talking about (though, of course, only its fake version).

Some of the fakes are very, very well done, Nilly. I'm sure you got some very bacon-like non-bacon. There's no way some Buffistas would have let you go home without finding out what it tastes like.

I even fed her "ham"!

Oh, yeah! Thanks to Lee I know what's the after-taste of ham (because I made her taste the kosher vegetarian version, so that she can compare them for me. Yes, Lee is very nice for agreeing. She said that the taste isn't very similar, but the after-taste is almost the same. The after-taste said "I AM MEAT". At least, in my mouth).

In NYC, we started to call the fake bacon "facon" and the fake milk "filk" and the like. I still use "filk" for a non-dairy milk, but only in my head.

That's funny, because there's a brand of soy milk called "Silk" and it took me years of buying and drinking the stuff before I realized that it was that kind of contraction.

I have eaten and enjoyed "fakin' bacon". I don't remember if that's an actual brand name or just what we called it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Hi Nilly!(watch, she's logged off for the day)

No bacon for me thanks, I don't like the taste.(Yes, I know, another way I Am A Freak)
