Stoner Vamp ,'Lessons'
[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.
Yay, Sean!
vw, I hope your mom is ok. I'm sorry you're so stressed. Any time you want to come over and bitch and be fed, let me know.
I have my follow up with my doctor tomorrow to get the results of my blood tests regarding my pain issues. I'm so scared, and I don't even know what to hope for.
And, for Aims.
WANT!! Baby camel!!
My dissertation defense is tentatively scheduled for late June or early July. Yay, and eek. This works out reasonably well, though. Spend May finishing up the dissertation, then spend June working on putting together the presentation. Then I'll have July to find an apartment wherever I'm moving and get my stuff packed up, go to the beach with my family at the end of July, move at the beginning of August, spend August getting settled in and learning the area and stuff, and start my new job (wherever it happens to be) at the end of August.
One practice I find hard to comprehend is that Wallybee's family buys and eats pure gluten.
Sean! You still have work to do in order to be a for-reals super-spy. Remember the old adage:
If you want to be a super-spy
You must make your passports multiply

Like seitan? Or something different?

I can hear my gastrointestinal tract crying out in horror.

While mine is going "Please, oh PLEASE, just a leeeeeeeetle bit???"
Relatedly, the GF pasta was really REALLY good. Same basic taste and texture as wheat pasta, and covered in garlicky red sauce, I couldn't tell the difference. I told The Boy I felt like I was getting away with something.

I had not heard of seitan (marketed in Iran as the Great Seitan). Checking wikipedia, it looks like it's the same thing; seitan seems to be a name given to the product in the '60s to introduce it to the West. My family favours the baked spongy gluten. I favour leaving the room while they prepare it.
(Huh. Apparently it's used as a meat substitute. Not a use to which I would put it.)
I don't use seitan too often, but one recipe that I like is seitan cooked with mushrooms, onions, and a red wine sauce. There's also a seitan brisket recipe that we sometimes make for Rosh Hashanah. My favorite use, though, is a sandwich at Cafe Blosson in NYC -- the seitan is breaded in spiced cornmeal and deep-fried, and put on a sandwich with caramelized onions, avocado, and garlic mayo. They also have seitan on skewers with BBQ sauce, served with jicama slaw. Yum.
The powdered kind of wheat gluten can also be used to make homemade vegan sausages.
sj, I hope you get good, helpful information tomorrow.
Why is it that I can't get up in the morning, yet I still can't get to sleep at night, even though I'm exhausted? Oh, 5:15 is going to come early. Again.
