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

Wait! Maybe broccoli fried rice? What else should go in it?

I just made fried rice the other day. I put mushrooms, spinach, red bell pepper and tofu in it. It was goooood.

Incidentally, smonster, I've had a Waste Question I've been meaning to ask you.

When I blow my nose in the bathroom I've taken to throwing the used tissue into the toilet to be flushed at some later time, rather than into the bathroom trashcan. Is waste taken out through the sewers more or less green/efficient than through the trash?

Thanks. I just picked a big handfull. They are sweet and tasty, but I think I'll save most of them for tomorrow.

Fresh basil? Pasta, mixed with sizzled garlic in olive oil, some steamed broc, basil and mozz. Nom. Salt and pepper, a little lemon juice, if you have it.

Hec, did JZ tell you that Matilda was very particular about her smoothie on Sunday and that she laid out a few rules about how her dad makes her smoothies to perfection? Matilda takes two bananas and will have no chunks whatsoever, thankyouverymuch!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

amyth, answered over there.

David, I laughed so hard. Awesome question. I think I am stumped! My educatedish guess is that it's better to chuck in the trash. Anything other than liquid needs to be strained out before releasing the water, so best to minimize. In the grand scheme, probably doesn't matter. I could suggest handkerchiefs or snot rockets, but they each have their own drawbacks.

Also, I went on a date once with a chemical engineer who worked for a paper company who explained to me that toilet paper was engineered to break down in water, while tissue was engineered to be stronger (than TP) when wet, and that is why you should never flush tissue.

And that is why there wasn't a second date. (Also, I met him in a park years later with his husband.)

Heading out soon to meet KCD's gf. Knowing Kelly met her and liked her is making this easier.

Good luck, Suzi!

The solution, obviously, is to blow your nose with TP and flush it.

Um, that is the solution for Hec, not Suzi, obviously. Suzi, hope it goes well.
