[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.

Hrm. I have basil, olive oil, garlic, nutritional yeastand a mini food processor. Can i made a decent vegan pesto without nuts or do i really need to haul my butt back out in the midday sun for nuts?

I'd think you'd need nuts. Seems like it would be more like a salad dressing texture than a pesto texture without them.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Thanks, Jilli!

Nice! Now I want strawberry shortcake.

The Bakesale Betty strawberry shortcake is more like a shortcake topped with three billion strawberries and a half-pint of whipped cream. I could only finish about half of it. I think it'll keep in the fridge.

So I just left the current potential future wife a terribly awkward and rambly voicemail. Also, after looking at her website more, I found several more positives. She also likes Red Hot Chili Peppers and Beck and the Postal Service and Green Day. And Osha Thai.

Weirdly, she has the same initials as my dad.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Birthday, Polter-Cow! Yay for positives on the CPFW! I'm sure the voicemail was as much endearing as it was awkward.

Your VegFest post made me totally envious. We need something like that around here. (Or more to the point, I need to figure out if we have something like that around here.)

Where's "around here" for you again? Chicago? This seems to be VegFest season -- I keep seeing ads for them in all different cities.

Whoa, the Chicago VeggieFest looks cool. [link] It was in August, though. That webpage says there were over 100 exhibitors. I think the DC one had about 20.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

As a tenuous link to VeggieFest, I have a crockpot full of vegetarian chili simmering away, and the whole house smells excellent.

My efforts to be green when doing laundry got foiled by the dog (the one we consider the "good" dog) -- I hung a bunch of laundry on the clothesline in the backyard, which I've done almost every warm weekend since I've lived here.

The "good" dog peed on the bottom of the longest dress and my long nightgown. He's never done anything like that before. The Boy said that the dog was likely pointing out that I hung my laundry in his territory. Fair point, but it makes it hard for me to be environmentally friendly about drying my clothes. Sheesh.

If it is, then it's a good start!
