I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Sweet tamales that we get have cinnamon,pecans (a major local crop) and raisins inside. They aren't spicy (though I've been told that you can use ginger in them, but this place doesn't.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I came out as a 'normal taster' but the test was odd - if I go to the kind of restaurant I prefer ( small , not overly decorated) , I am probably paying money - and I want to trust the chef. But if I am going to a bigger/more chain or volumetric food place - I tend to be pickier. I taste the bitter in most things, but I like it- however that is how I decide good coffee from bad - good coffee should hint at bitterness, but not over whelm it. and though I occasionally eat olives, they are not my favorite

tonight's dinner

shrimp and asparagus tossed over pasta with lemon butter and fresh tomatoes. I think I'll find some basil too

I'm working with a bad translation. Anyone have an idea for an expression that would convey "human clearings" in the sense of getting the homeless off the street?

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

Except for beer. Beer is ooky, and I don't understand why people drink it.

In heaven there is no beer. That's why we drink it here.

Then blow them out and splash everybody with hot scalding soup!

Soup goes in people's hair. Be sure to splash some there.

I've heard the term round-up or running out of town, but (duh) usually in a perjorative sense. Um...

It's okay if it's perjorative, it's in a literary text about a government official whose job is to clear the streets. No, not Giuliani.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was actually thinking you might look for articles about Giuliani and see how they put it. Round-up of the homeless? Edit: Der, no wonder that sounded familiar! It's from sarameg's post!

These activists use "street sweeps."
