Hmm. Maybe I have to settle for short seasons then. But it's nice to know they're thinking of an end:
The series was envisioned with Hewes tackling new cases each season (Danson's will be resolved at the end of this one), but her shingle will only be out for so long. With the network so heavily invested in serialized dramas and twisted protagonists, its shows have limited lives
Wow, paperdol! That's totally awesome!
I love both cilantro and grapefruit. I particularly love Texas ruby red grapefruit from Zeys. We used to get it every Christmas and I would ration it out, holding it up to the sunlight to watch the rays sparkle through it. Savoring each bite, the summery coolness, the sudden burst of tang as each grain burst. Mmm.
But I also love regular sour yellow grapefruit.
I am probably not the best one to judge, though, because I also loved the taste of my grandmother's super crazy mega vitamin C pills.
My tongue looks normal to me, but when I talked about this the last time it came up with the SO, we concluded that I must be a subtaster. Or a supertaster with no, err, good taste.
Also, cilantro-haters! Tonight I went with Bob and his brother to WD-50, and they had an herb there that tasted exactly like cilantro but Bob, the cilantro non-taster, could taste the cilantro flavor! Now he knows what it tastes like! I forget what it is called though. Whoops.
Oh, I know what cilantro tastes like. Indeed, whenever it's in a dish, that's the only thing that I know what it tastes like.
Love cilantro because it has such a wonderful bright flavor. Hate grapefruit because it's like all the bitter in the bitterest foods in the world concentrated in one place.
Yay on your book, paperdol!
I didn't know there was any other way to eat grapefruits.
The best way to eat a grapefruit is to first peel it, then turn each section inside out, eating only the pulp. It's even better if you alternate with pistachios.
I understand the bitter receptors on your tongue tend to get less sensitive with age, so perhaps when I am 90, I too will be able to appreciate the grapefruit.
Amazon 3K rating is very very good and I bet paperdol's agent and publisher are dancing a little. Although, higher ratings get recalculated much more often (like daily instead of weekly) so it can dramatically change much more often, which makes authors even more nervous!
Cut them in half, sprinkle sugar on, and scoop out bits with a spoon?
Don't forget to put the maraschino cherry slice in the middle for a modicum of colour.
I eat grapefruit like an orange. Nom nom nom.
You may have all of mine, frankly.
It's still raining and thundering out there. I'm so glad to be jobfree at the moment, so I don't have to commute in it!
Alas for Nutty's soon-to-be-ex-roommates, who are going to be moving in all this....
