Now tagless for your comfort.

I have split peas. I want to make split pea soup. I can't find a ham bone at any of the groceries I go to. What should I do?

My package of split peas came with a "ham flavoring" packet. I'm dubious but do not have a ham bone, either. I should remember to get one from the meat counter.

I tried a new breed of apple today--Haralson. It was yum!

Mmm.. you just reminded me. I have a honeycrisp in the fridge and a slab of extra sharp cheddar. however, I just weighed myself and I like the weight I am right now. I fear eating anything this late will make tomorrow's weigh in no fun.

Also debating buy or not buy: [link] I'm just not sure it would be necessary here. Though if we had an El Nino year like I keep hoping for it would be awesome to have this. (This babysteal will change tomorrow so the link is only good tonight).

Smoked ham hocks? Smoked hog jowls? Smoked turkey wings or legs?

The stores here all have those, but I live in the land of pork-flavored vegetables.

eta: There are also ham bullion cubes that are surprisingly realistic. They're usually with Mexican foods rather than with the soups here.

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

When I was in college, our beer of choice was Abita. Preferably Purple Haze. (OK, I was the only one who liked the Purple Haze. Everyone else liked the boring varieties. But Purple Haze rocked!)

I had completely forgotten about Homefront. I used to love that show. They really should put it out on DVD or something.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Um, you remember I had to be force fed a Twinkie in college because I had never had one as a kid right?

That is PRECISELY the reference I was going for.

Now grab funnel and get your sweet ass over here...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow. GA is starting off gross today.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Two of the puppies are completely under their bed pad.

Even cute when you can't see them.
