I had Turkish Delight from a Turkish camper (back when I was a camp counselor) brought that month from Turkey, and I thought it was de-lish. It might have just been that particular kind, though. The kid's dad was loaded and sent her with all kinds of luxuries.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm sure that I had some cheap mass produced crap. I suspect that real turkish delight is quite nice.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I finally had the real stuff and it was MUCH better than prior domestic versions.
Not quite the ambrosia Edmund adores, but I suppose it could be pretty exotic to a war-time English kid.

Yeah, I've never tried any other kind. I'm sure I'd be disappointed after having "My Father Owns Oil Fields" Turkish Delight.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I should be wrapping gifts and setting to box a bunch for shipping tomorrow. Instead I'm snoozing on the couch watching tv. Ugg. I did the shopping, can't someone else do the other stuff?

Hi. I've had a max of three hours of uninterrupted sleep in the last two nights. I've barely eaten today. But I finished and uploaded my Yuletide story, toddler with earache thwarting bedamned.
I wanted to comment on the religion discussion from the perspective of one raised by atheists, but sadly, was too braindead/Yuletide addled. Someone remind me in the morning, because it's something I've been thinking about a lot.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I read a bunch. I drank wine. I feel the need to repeat this:
Also, that way we got live-action Legolas and Aragorn and Borimir and Farimir and Eomer and NOMNOMNOM.

Your timing is kind of funny, beth, as I was going to say...
Also, that way we got live-action Legolas and Aragorn and Borimir and Farimir and Eomer and NOMNOMNOM.
And Boromir! I loved the books, but he was such an ass in them, and just all conflicted and wonderful in the movies. Peter Jackson totally turned me into a Sean Bean fangurl, and the Sharpe movies finished the job.
eta: Oops. I totally missed, every single time, that the original had Boromir in it. I guess I just really, really wanted to share about my Sean Bean fanaticism.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I brought borscht down to Mom & Dads. We drank a lot of wine and played Oh Hell then I showed them the video for Fairytale of New York. It was a good day.

My uterus is trying to ruin my apartment. After the bleeding on the grout issue I just bled on my duvet cover from sitting on it. Yes, that also means that I bled through my pajama pants as well. FUCK. At least I can just throw it in the washer. Grr.
