Ask the restaurant if they can deep-fry some of the spinach.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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 joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Oddly, a vaction where I eat healthy and very tasty -- adds to the experience. Granted sweet potato fries are always good

Go, omnis! You have obviously made a very good impression on GGG, as it should be.

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

Spinach isn't a food that happy people eat! Neither is, well, pretty much anything that I eat other than sweets and potato chips and fries, according to her.
Hmm. I wonder if "it fills me up and gives me energy to go swimming and kayaking and play frisbee and fly a kite, which does make me happy" will convince her of anything.

What does she think you eat that make salad so odd and unusual?

Well, whenever I go to visit, she stocks up on fake meats and soy cheese.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Mmmmm, fake meat. (No, really. Between my mom & stepdad being vegan -- they're the ones who introduced me to a lot of faux meat -- and cooking for a vegetarian, there's a LOT of fake meat I like.)

Well, I wore the dress to work (just your standard A-line shirtdress), but when I put on the apron, I realized that I needed pearls to complete the outfit (I was wearing a typewriter-key "S" necklace). So the pearls were staged.

Huh. But your cooking is better than fake meat and fake cheese. I have had decent fake meat, but no decent fake cheese. You have more sophisticated taste than that.
