Interesting, and yet useless.
Like "California Cuisine".
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Compassionately intolerant
Like "California Cuisine".
Much as I am a champion of California food...the produce? Come on! None better...I have to confess that I've never actually understood this term. My best guess is...small bits of food artfully arranged so as to disguise the food's similarity to lots of other cuisines...which suffer mightily from the lack of art.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
How did Ellie get to be big enough to ride a bike already? Happy Birthday!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have to confess that I've never actually understood this term.
Originally it referred to the way restaurants like Chez Panisse were revolutionizing American fine dining in the 1970's. Prior to that, fine dining in the US meant a French-style kitchen serving French food, probably in New York City. The reason the term is obsolete today is because the philosophy of using fresh local ingredients and presenting them in their purest form has so completely permeated food culture that we don't need a separate word to distinguish it.
(I highly recommend The United States of Arugula for a fantastic history of upscale food in the US. Apart from telling me more about James Beard's sex life than I ever wanted to know, it's a really terrific read.)

Zoom, Ellie! So cute!
And how is it that F no longer looks like a wee baby, but a big baby boy?
