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

Ooh, that sounds yummy! I had one of those soup cups you add water to. But it was curry lentil couscous! Which was yummy, and which they had stopped carrying in DC a few years ago...
Now I think I will throw clothes in the washer, so I have something to wear out dancing tonight. First for an hour of East Coast Swing lessons. Then an hour of West Coast Swing lessons. Then two hours of social dancing at the leather bar (mostly two-step, some line dancing and waltzing)

Friday online shopping report: I just got I, Claudius, Apollo 13, and 101 Dalmatians from Amazon. IC was only $37, so I had to buy it, and the other two were because I was weak and they were cheap.

I'm making dinner. I really need to go grocery shopping and have practically no food here, so dinner is multi-grain flax-seed spaghetti with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, pepper, and garlic. Possibly some nutritional yeast, too. (Mix nutritional yeast with something salty or vinegary, and you get a cheesy flavor. It's deeply weird.)
(I actually do have some carrots and lentils and split peas, and could make soup. Or I could make some seitan, since I've got some wheat gluten. But both of those would take time and require slicing vegetables, which I don't feel like doing tonight.)

Is this TJ's by any chance? If so, how is it?

I used to love putting nutritional yeast on pop corn. Mmm mmm.

Yep, it's the TJ's, and very good. Absolutely the best flax-seed pasta I've had, and one of the best whole-grain ones. (The best whole-grain one, IMO, is the Bionaturae, with the Safeway house brand a close second. This isn't quite as good as those, but still yum. Flax-seed pasta tastes a bit different than regular pasta, so you've got to think about the sauces a bit -- I think it would taste kind of weird with marinara, but it's good with something less tomato-ey, and fabulous with something a little earthier, like a sauce with balsamic vinegar or a peanut sauce. Basically, the flax seed gives it a slightly nutty taste, so you've got to take that into consideration.)
