Bacon pancakes, people. Burrell had some. I had a taste. OMG. It's heavenly heart horror.

You don't scare me. You reassure me that some of my, ummmm, proclivities are quite normal. AIFG!

I'm really craving pizza right now. I have no pizza. Instead, I'm eating chickpeas sprinkled with nutritional yeast. Which are good, but not pizza. But I'm being good B-12 girl with the yeast, so at least there's that.

I like cilantro, red and yellow grapefruit, green and black olives, root beer, and yes, bacon. I'm easy that way.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I interrupt this food discussion with a question that's unabashedly, well, gross. I'd ask on my main writing list, but all my CPs are there, and I want them to come to this scene virgin, all the better to gauge if it's as horrifying and traumatic as I'm trying to make it. Whitefonted for the squeamish:
Seagulls eat carrion, right? So if there were a bunch of unburied bodies on a beach, it'd be a feast for them?

I don't understand the vegan cheese recipes where the flavorings are just nutritional yeast, mustard, and garlic. I mean, I can see how a sauce with those flavors would taste good, I just don't see how anyone would put that together and think "tastes like cheese."
Though, granted, I've never tried it.

Susan, as far as I've seen, seagulls will eat just about anything. I've seen them eat hot dogs, so I'm sure they'd eat carrion, too. The only thing I've ever seen a seagull take a bite of and then walk away from was a pickle.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Susan, sailors who survived shipwrecks at sea were often attacked while they floated, still living. Like any other opportunist, gulls went for the eyes first, to incapacitate their victims. Yes, they'd feast on carrion. why are we whitefonting?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What are your favorites? What makes them stand out to you?
The top end root beers trend towards creamy or spicy. That's the spectrum. Our favorites are: Sprechter's (traditional out of Wisconsin I think), Henry Weinhardt's Root Beer (a local brewery that makes a fantastic root beer), and Virgil's (which favors lots of natural ingredients).
There are some other good ones too, like Sparky's, but those are definitely our three favs. Personally I like it very creamy but with a good amount of spice. More creamy than spicy though (which probably means more vanilla in the mix).
