Zoe ,'Bushwhacked'
[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.
Oh my gosh, how badly do I want a MYSTERY HOLE t-shirt? THHhhhiiiss much.
meara, I hate to be offering unsought advice, but the sooner you stop flirting with the GILF the better. She's a tease. Don't bother asking her how much she remembers because the truth is, you don't want to hear the answer. Just accept that all she wants to do is yank your chain, so say buh-bye granny and go make out like teenagers instead.
Myssery hole shirts sound like an excellent gift. A far second, of course, is a Mystery Spot shirt.
Ahaha. MYSTERY HOLE.
Gah, really? See, I suspect that what I grew up with was just a jam-roll pudding and it just got called Roly-Poly. This shorthand mislabeling seems to have happened a lot in my parent's house.
Well, the suet's the shortening used in the dough part. So you mightn't have even known it was there.
so.... what's the difference between suet and lard? I could google it,I'm sure.
Suet is beef and lard is pork, right?
I think so.
Mystery hole? Oh dear.
Just poking my head in thread to say that I have F2F pictures up on Flickr here: [link]
I'm pix_kristin on flickr and will gladly friend you if you can't see them. Add me as a contact and I'll do the same. These pictures are all House on the Rock and Sunday brunch. ND has Prom pictures that will get uploaded when possible. We really had a great time this weekend and already miss everyone terribly.
Verra tired. For those not in the F2F thread, ND's dad is in the hospital for something that may or may not be serious. His mom is really upset and needs help regardless, so we've cancelled our Chicago plans and are catching a flight home to LAX tomorrow and will then drive directly to San Diego. (Omnis, I will be back by Wednesday night to relieve you of your catsitting duties one way or the other--I may need a pick up from a train station depending on what happens. I'll drop you an email when I know more.) We're trying to stay optimistic that it will turn out to be something minor.
Hugs and brackets and ~ma to those that need it. I'll check in again soon.
I went out to brunch today with my parents and sister, and then grocery shopping with my dad. It's getting more difficult to freak out my dad with "weird" foods. He doesn't even blink at scrambled tofu anymore, and he even likes tempeh. I did manage to buy one food that made him get that "What the hell is that?" look, though: chocolate hemp milk. I swear, he looked less grossed out the time he ate alligator.
(My dad seems to treat grocery shopping with me as a sort of anthropological expedition, where he gets to find out about the eating habits of the modern urban vegetarian.)
OMGWTF Alligator! In Chicago. In the river. [link]
Hey, Pete: what exactly do you look for in a Roly Poly Pudding?
Oooh, jam roly poly! But, yeah, I'd expect it contains suet - all those stodgy things like spotted dick (ho ho) and treacle pudding and christmas pudding and so forth contain suet, don't they? I think? They're hardcore OurCountryIsColdAndNobodyHasInventedCentralHeatingYet foods! Which should be served with lashings of custard!
Mmmmm, custard!
Meanwhile, I'm still reeling at the astonishing rudeness of the customers at Hil's restaurant. That's shocking. I hope and trust that the cook spat in his food.
Mystery Hole. Heh.
...I'm sort of torn between not wanting to know about all the F2F fun, and also wanting to see the photos. Hmm. Anyone point a girl to any linky links?
