sara, you may have the allergy as well, just not developed it because you've never had them. Sometimes we have an "irrational" dislike of food because it's actually our bodies telling us that it's bad for us. I suspect I am allergic to spearmint, because the mere smell of it makes me sick to my stomach, to the extent that if someone is chewing spearmint gum, I can't talk to them.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We are imaginary food geniuses.
You are!
ION, argh. My awesome minion just gave notice. She got a job that pays 30% more, so I can't really fault her, but it's a huge bummer. She hasn't even hit her 1-year anniversary yet.

Crab doesn't feel that spanish to me.

I'm with Jesse, spanish cooking doesn't have a lot of crab. Shrimp, scallops, mussels, yes, but not much crab.
But, also, it's our imaginary dish.

Served over a saffron wild rice. With pine nuts.
Oooh. I was going to say risotto, but I like the saffron wild rice/pine nuts better.

I got in a bit later than I should have today only to find everyone a bit quiet. I assumed it was just the Monday tireds showing up, but when I went online and checked out my e-mail, I found out that my next-door cubicle neighbor, who had been out for an operation on an infected leg, had developed a clot over the weekend and passed away.
God, now I'm tearing up again.
R.I.P., Linda Mae. I'll really miss your sweet nature, your willingness to bitch with me about buying plus-sized clothes, and your wonderful laugh.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, Kathy -- what an awful shock! I'm really sorry.
