This is Seattlese for community garden, yes? Never seen the term before, but I love that y'all have your very own.

[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep, Seattlese. And a lot of the people with them are using them for a large portion of their foodstuffs.

Ha! As punishment, Elsie's father is threatening to send her to a convent school! Elsie has "an intense horror and dread of everything connected with that form of error and superstition."

(I have more to say about Alice Waters, but I'm kind of flexeril-loopy right now, and I have no confidence that it would come out as anything remotely approaching what I actually want to say.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
oh for goodness sakes. What does Jesus have against convent schools?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

They're run by Catholics, I'm guessing.

Yep. Elsie, by the way, has been reading about the Inquisition and is convinced that she'll be tortured.

I think Alice Waters has been a hugely influential force in moving towards more locally grown food and home cooking, but she came off as unrealistic about the amount of time involved. Does anyone really think priorities can be changed enough that a single mother with a demanding job can spend 30 minutes, plus clean up, to make breakfast? Yes, it's a symptom of a society without traditional family support, little employer support for family time and reduced incomes, but that's a lot to ask of food.

I could see her earning repeated slaps upside the head with the cluestick.
