I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

When I lived in Prague with a hotplate, a favorite meal was toasting a sliced up rholiki (like mini-baugettes) in butter and garlic in the pan, then sauteeing mushrooms, spinach and garlic (and whatever fresh veggies I could find) in more butter and then tossing in swiss and/or parm at the last minute and dumping it over the toast.

Pretty damned good. JZ had fancier.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My cat Clio is like that with allergic people. They`re her FAVOURITE people ever!

I get that a lot. I don't think cats are evil, though. They just like the person who is still and not moving hands towards them.

Same thing, basically. Not much fancier except the bread.

In college, my friends Chip and Lori and I would reserve the kitchen and make a huge batch of sauteed mushrooms which we'd eat with baguette and salad and wine. We were mushrooms sluts.

Mushrooms were the one veg I could find without problem in Prague. It had issues with non-white vegs in groceries in the mid-90s. I got the most anemic broccoli and zuchs during that 6 mo. Hell, I had to get the zuchs at the french grocery and you practically needed a password. There was a veggie-friendly sandwich place near Staromeska (I'm butchering that) that I figured had to kill for its vegs during that decade. We were desperate for fresh veg.

hip deep in pie

One of the pizza places here has a pizza that is sauteed mushrooms, roasted garlic and just enough cheese to call it pizza. It is the yum.

It's kind of meaty over there. We need bon to chime in with her Prague meals.

Yum! Same idea, basically with hot bread and mushrooms. Close to a white pie.

I think bon was after me and got the better of openess.

Loki is crying at the door, so plaintively. Must warn housesitter's he's LYING.

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

The problem with those fashions wasn't that they crossed the line between men's clothes and women's, they were just plug ugly.

I got a kick out of how the tube tops gave the men cleavage, so the line crossing was a success -- but that shit was UGLAY, yo.

Wow. I'm watching the Oliver Sacks NOVA episode ("Musical Minds"). It's just amazing.
