Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well, hamburgers served on bread or a roll are American. Hamburg patty is originally German.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Mac & cheese seems quintessentially American to me, regardless of its origins. Also, baked ham, green beans and new potatoes cooked together with a little bit of pork fat, biscuits, grits, country ham and redeye gravy. Grits. Hominy. Pumpkin pie, turkey with stuffing. Ooh--"salads" made with Jello, Cool Whip and those little marshmallows. Waldorf salad. Pattie sausage, pancakes with syrup.

I know a lot of that is breakfast and/or regional, but it's American, I think.

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

Most of those foods weren't available in the restaurants I went to in the 80s in London.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

all Arab countries are different kinds of kabobs.

Wasn't there a falafel sandwich in there somewhere?

The falafel was suicide bombers. In the cheat sheet, it gives two flags for that. One is Hamas, I think, and I don't recognize the other.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Yo, Australians!

...I don't suppose any of you have any intention of attending the SPN convention 'All Hell Breaks Loose' in April, do you?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Not me. I don't watch the show, so it's not really on my radar.

Nah, I didn't think so.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

He's definitely worth seeing live, in case you wanted to know.

Yep. Saw him in 1980 and have been waiting 29 years to repeat the experience. :)

Oh and moonlit and I are fine. We are nowhere near any of the bushfires burning across Victoria. In case anyone was worried.
