I've never had mango sticky rice, and I'm pretty sure it's not on the menu at any of the Thai restaurants in town. But I love mango and sticky rice and I'm sure I would love them together.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

If they had mango in season and there was any kind of mango items on the menu, I bet they'd make it for you.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I had some yummy mango sticky rice in Boston. Good old Chilli Duck.

OMG!!! I am an idiot. I decided to make brownies and decided to try a new recipe which was supermoist. I mix it up and I put in the scant 1/2 cup of flour the recipe calls for from the clear plastic bag of flour I had from the bulk store. It's almost empty, so I thought I'd use that flour up before the stuff in the storage jar. The batter is in the oven and after only five minutes I smell burning.
I open the oven and my brownie mix has puffed up like a souffle and overflowed the pan. It's all over the oven.
It seems the bag of a little bit of flour was actually baking powder! And I had even wrote that it was baking powder on the bag. God!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man.
I realized in the middle of making soup that I didn't have the right spices. I ran out of cumin, apparently. Why didn't I buy more?? The recipe called for cumin, tumeric, and cayenne, so I just put in chili powder, and am hoping for the best. I am not sure this is going to be good.

Huh, so I just made up a fake car to get an online quote from Progressive and insuring even a really cheap car in Brooklyn would be almost $2000/year. I don't think I do enough driving for that.
(OTOH, we qualify for USAA insurance, so we may be able to get a lower rate through them.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm watching Lars and the Real Girl and I completely don't get it. It's not as "watch from the hall" as it was when it started, but it is replete with crazy people, and I don't feel for any of them. Am I just not nice enough?

ita, I had the same reaction. It was a toss-up whether I'd finish it or not (I did, eventually).

Ha! Any time someone mentions cumin, I think of the time my friend was making cheese enchiladas, and the recipe called for so many tablespoons of cumin, and she accidentally used cayenne pepper. So the enchiladas came out super-spicy, and I was the only one who could handle it, so I got dinner for a few days.
