Who's going to take the blame for me watching the entire freaking series of "Kidnapped" tonight? I mean, I am only on episode 3 but it's CRACK. I shouldn't have started this so late in the evening...

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm not veggie averse, but I not big on actually cooking. I need to work on that.
Who knows Björk's last name? It is... Guðmundsdóttir . Aren't we glad she just sticks to the first name? Here's a song from her at age 11. [link]
The diabetic recommends them, but you can't eat, say, a pound of cherries
I read this as like physically can't. And thought "sure you can!" And then realized you meant "shouldn't", because a serving is like, 12, as your next sentence says. Sigh. Slightly different.
I'm pretty sure that means that Guðmund is her mother's first name and that if Björk had a daughter named Suzy she'd be Suzy Björksdóttir.
I'm pretty sure Iceland doesn't have last names that go from generation to generation like most of the rest of the world.
Ah, here's the Wikipedia. [link]
Guðmund is likely her father's name, though it could be her mother's.
I wish I could grow herbs -- they're so stupid expensive to buy, when I almost never use the whole bunch in time! But I only get a little direct sun through my windows, and I figure my cat would eat them anyway, huh?
What about at your parents' house, Jesse? They don't need a lot of care, so if you're there even once a week you could take care of them.
Oh, that's an interesting thought. We had some mint and oregano outside when I was a kid, and I think they are on the safe-to-eat list, given how much lead is in the soil.... Of course, then I would have to plan ahead to use them!
Jesse, I've had luck keeping surplus herbs (parsely in particular) in the fridge. I re-cut the ends of the stems and plunk the remainder of the bunch into a glass of water like a little bouquet. I've had a bunch of parsely last nearly two weeks before it started to look less than fresh.
Yeah, I have some parsley like that in my fridge as we speak, and it is holding up, but I still haven't used it!
