Okay, exactly how many of us are lurking over there, anyhow?
Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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, I've been hanging around there for years now -- since LB Fridays was a wee baby snark -- but I've only ever commented a time or two.

I don't think we have a good source of spaetzle in Carrboro. If any Trianglistas want to disabuse me of this idea that would be great.
I think the problem is that there's no place for it in the local food ecosystem -- the boiled drop dumpling niche is so neatly filled with chicken and dumplings that other boiled drop dumplings are outcompeted before they have a chance to evolve. Maybe out around Salem.
Maybe out around Salem.
Hmmmm. I'm spending my weekends in Kernersville anyway, so I should look into that. Thanks!
It's kind of sad that there's only room for one drop dumpling in the local ecosystem, when there's a bunch of different types of salty, deep-fried, crispy things: potato chips, nachos, those crispy things they serve with egg drop soup, etc.
Definitely sad. The world should contain all kinds of dumplings.
Good morning! I finally dropped to sleep at about 11 a.m. -- SPN fans, I had the weirdest dream with Castiel in it, and it was HOTTTTT. Damn. He was my therapist and I was seriously crazy and he had to...um, therapize me thru the sexin' back to sanity.
It worked, too!
I crawled into bed at about 9 am and tossed and turned...and then, maintenence commenced what sounded like drilling through metal and gutting the kitchen in the apartment next door. Which is right next to my bedroom. In fact, my bed is on the wall that divides me from the kitchen. ARGH.
And then the weedwhacking outside my bedrooom window this afternoon. Maintenence HATES me, I think.
Sushi sounds gooooood. I still remember the yummy sushi we had at the LA F2F. Trudy and I shared a box thingie with so many little tidbits and it was all SOOOO good. Except for the aspic. I Just don't love an aspic.

Now I want some NOW, and they're a brunch item.

He calls out Yuet Lee!! OMNOMNOMNOM.
Now I want a donut.
I think I am hungry.
