Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

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

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

Mostly lurking...
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.

vw, how's your mother doing?
gluten
I know the word. But I have no idea what to do with it. I eat, c'est tout. Apart of trying to have 3 salads per week, and thinking on starting running (a freaking whole class on "The Anthropology of Happiness", and do I do something to make my life better from what I've learned? Hell no), I'm the poster girl of chocolate and spice and everything nice.
Also. FIELD WORK TODAY! OMFG, and please send your ~mas. It's my first, and I'm excited and worried and whatnot, and mostly in need for a talkative, good informant(s).
