Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Bacon, vanilla, bread, and chocolate. Best food smells ever.

Now there we are in agreement. I would add the smell of coffee brewing to the list, but that's just me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ahh--the smell of coffee is a lifesaver. I don't drink it much, but I carry a small tin of Blue Mountain in my purse at all times in case other smells get noxious.

I had a Coca Cola craving today and was glad to discover the vending machine sold the 12oz cans. But there's no way I can finish even that. Silly slick feeling on my teeth. Plus caffeine too late in the day. Whoops.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I like turkey bacon!

That's not bacon.

Bacos are disturbingly gratifying, however. They now come in "chip" as well as "bit" sizes.

But they're still not bacon.

Ground or beans?

I get my BiL half a pound of Blue Mountain every year for Christmas. It's the only gift I've found that he likes, and I think he'd be bummed if I changed on him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All the tickets I filed resulted in someone coming in to my office and throwing the gates wide. Just as planned.

Nice.

Ground or beans?

Ground, for maximum aroma dispersal. It's very calming. It's nice to have something that cuts through other scents and isn't remotely cloying or sweet.

I had a couple people at work harass me about the reputation of Blue Mountain coffee so I asked my mother to bring me some small bags of the stuff up to the NO funeral. I will happily dole the stuff out like a crack dealer. It's little enough that she doesn't begrudge the expense, and if they get hooked, it's a worthy investment in a potential future revenue stream.

Except now they're saving it for special occasions. I just want to know if they like it. Of course I talked it up. BUt only when asked.

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

"thy" foul grammar.

Hummus is chickpeas! What's there to like?

Chickpeas are a food of gods. I love them every which way.

Chickpeas are gritty and hummus is gritty mush. Don't get it. Oonu weird.
