I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ginger, there are some tips on page 16.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm not going to take up that kind of cuisine; I just am imagining scenes like, "Here, honey. Take this cup. I'm busy cooking."

eta: Thanks, Jessica, for taking one for the team and reading that far.

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

Ew.

Huh. The 1912 hygiene book was already warning about the dangers of lead paint.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We had that here already! I can't imagine it's serious.

Interesting. This book, which was written for jr. high or high school kids about to enter the workforce, has a whole lot of safety suggestions that really only make sense to give to the factory owners. Stuff like putting safety shields on the machines, or making sure the building has enough fire escapes. That's not really stuff that's under the workers' control.

Useful things to be on the lookout for, though.

Those comments to the cookbook were hysterical. I'm very curious as to their attitudes about blow jobs.

True. But this book was published just a few months after the Triangle Shirtwaist fire. I think that most factories then had pretty much the same conditions.

In good food news, I can't wait to eat Ema Datshi in Bhutan (Thimpu: [link] ). Green chile and cheese! Red rice! [link]

It is so good (had it at the Folklife Fest.)

eta: reviewing info...my flight from Kathmandu to Thimpu should take me past Everest. I'll get to see it!!
