Happy Birthday, Frank!
At the last several parties I've been to, there's been a bowl of edamame. Easy to make, and requires no utensils to eat. (Though the last time I saw this served, a guy who'd never had it before was eating the pods.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Shir, I'm glad you checked in to let us know you were ok.
This is an awesome thread on Michael Ruhlman's blog about staple meals. Obviously the staple meals of people who read Michael Ruhlman's blog are not necessarily a representative sample of America, but it's still really interesting to read. (Plus, free great recipes!)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I adore Ruhlman's blog (and, to a kind of pathetic degree, Ruhlman), even if his comment threads routinely head into the wacky zone. I was thinking about delurking in the staple meals discussion, but then I saw something shiny. Possibly the man's hair.

Ah, that makes sense Shir. I just don't know what to tell you.

Well my attempts to celebrate teh holiday with charred meat were for naught.
Sue, you didn't miss much. Just our company and a lot of meat. Feel better.

Oh I have a total wibbly fangirl crush on Michael Ruhlman. (Even if I know his heart belongs to Anthony Bourdain.)

Today is shaping up to be a very hateful morning. We spent 3 hours in urgent care to find out that the spots on noah's arm are not chicken pox (yay! that part is good) but is some sort of viral reaction that can't be shared. Though he also has an ear infection, possibly resulting from the rash. And he was the happiest baby yesterday.
I loathe urgent care. 3 hours = not so urgent.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Trublood? Tentative googling doesn't take me to a show.
I like edamame shells, when I have time to gnaw on them. And I've read that in some circles they are to be eaten.
