[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.

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

So the weirdest thing happened.

Last night I came home to discover a message from a girl on OKCupid. She's an Indian girl who lives in Oakland and watches Veronica Mars, likes my use of the word "splendiferous," and hates bad grammar.

We exchanged messages back and forth for about an hour and a half this morning. And now we're having dinner tonight.

Let's see what you got, Hamster Girl.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

You can always go with the Brit-ism, veg. It is simultaneously more dignified, less attention-needing (for those of us seeking to consume more without thinking so damn much about it), and easier and faster to type.

Now tagless for your comfort.

P-C, if you find an awesome, geeky, Indian girl online I want you to record your "I TOLD YOU SO" to your mother and post it on YouTube.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Let's see what you got, Hamster Girl.

Don't bring out the hamster ball until the third date.

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

I second Cashmere's request!

Admittedly, the things I put in quesadilla aren't always the healthiest - sauteed mushrooms, black olives, green onions, roasted peppers, greek yogurt

Those things are all healthy!

Yeah, I'm with Zenkitty. I don't understand your statement.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Well, they're not the most nutritious vegetables. Fortunately JZ's Greek genes require her to have spinach at a rate which would make Popeye wrinkle his nose. So I also toss baby spinach leaves in.

Spinach for some; tiny American flags for others!

Umm, I'm pretty sure that mushrooms, onions and peppers are all non-starcy veggies. OK they are not super-concentrated sources of micronutrients and fiber the way spinach is. But they are decent sources of both, and you can certainly get a fair amount micronutrients and fiber out of them without huge caloric intake. Greek yogurt is a source of protein, calcium and fat like any other dairy product that is not fat reduced. Olives are a huge source of fat, but heart healthy fat that is a nutritional plus in reasonable calories. So I don't see how any of them can be labeled unhealty. I mean no, no spinach. But delicious as spinach is (I love spinach) a diet of spinach and nothing else would a starvation diet. So unless you are using them in an extremely unbalanced way, onions, mushrooms, roasted peppers, olives and greek yogurt are part of a healthy meal.

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

I wanted to make a quesadilla for dinner, but the grocery delivery place had no more tortillas of the kind I ordered, and I forgot to specify that I wanted a different brand if they didn't have those. (For most things, I want a particular brand for a reason, so I have "same brand, different size" as my default, and I always forget to switch that for the things that don't come in a different size but for which I don't mind a different brand.) I'm not sure what dinner will be instead. I'm not that hungry, and I've got some frozen burritos, so maybe one of those.

The calcium one is kind of questionable. Different studies have come to different conclusions about which side the numbers fall on, but digesting animal protein leaches calcium from your bones. I've seen some studies that say that the amount of protein leached is more than the amount absorbed from the milk, and others saying it's the other way around, but in any case, your body isn't getting as much calcium as is actually in the milk.
