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.

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

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....

Very good weekend, excellent company.
Very early morning. Have to leave early today, hence early morning. But not for anything fun.
Devi found a person not me that she doesn't flee from.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love that list, and think it's great that Deb and Amy are on it. I'm cracking up because I feel that the Functional Training for Sports and A Collectors Guide to Swords, Daggers, and Cutlasses are my fault.

Oh! The hub is now a drooling Krav fanboy, thanks to the big dog's new book (edit: this one: [link] ). Also, the dedication made me tear up a little, even at two degrees.
