Emily! How are you doing? Have you moved already, or are you in the process of moving?

In process. About one more day, perhaps and a half. Oh. You asked an hour ago. My apologies; I've been multitasking.

Well, I've answered almost an hour later, so it's not like I don't know the multitasking of which you speak.
About one more day, perhaps and a half.
Good luck with that! On both ends of the move, the one you have to leave and the one you're getting into.

Hi. Nilly!
Now I need to go to work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My parents tried to get me to switch the knife once I was done cutting. But I thought it was really dumb, so I'd only do it for a while before going back to the no-switching.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
For the record: cilantro: yea, olives, grapefruit, rootbeer (and all sodas): nay. I also like hot pepper (up to a point) which makes the dish taste spicier.
Note that receptors for cilantro and receptors for hot peppers are separate from the ones for bitter and the rest, so it's perfectly possible to have a very mixed set of preferences.
In short: "Human taste preferences freaky."

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I like cilantro. Most root beer is too sweet for me, but I drank a LOT of it while I was pregnant.
And I can't believe we're having the fork-switching conversation again. I love you people and your crazy repetitive obsessions.
Oh, and I totally use RSS, but since I've created a feed from scratch I probably don't count as a non-geek. But I won't even read a blog unless I can subscribe to it with Google Reader.

Dog is my co-pilot.
No bacon. Vegetarian.
If using both a knife and fork, I use them European style. I'm American, but my paternal grandmother was British, so that's probably where it came from. Being vegetarian, though, I seldom eat things that require serious cutting.
I don't understand the vegan cheese recipes where the flavorings are just nutritional yeast, mustard, and garlic.
I made the vegan "gooda" from Joanne Stepaniak's Uncheeee Cookbook once. I was trying to come up with a vegan, lower fat version of "Dutch Potato Cheese Soup" (Anna Thomas, The Vegetarian Epicure, Book 2). The original is yummy but gets 40% of its calories from fat. Anyway, we were amazed that the lower fat vegan version made with Stepaniak's fake gouda tasted exactly like the fat and dairy laden original. Even my omnivorous husband thought so.
