"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I find myself in the horribly unfortunate position of agreeing with the evil jackasses who protest at military funerals. I don't think they should, I think what they're saying is ridiculous and hurtful...but saying they can't? Worries me. What if I want to protest at a president's funeral? A celebrity? My deadbeat dad who left me out of the will after not paying child support? Where does the line get drawn?

I think they do have a First Amendment right to say whatever they want. However, I also think their choice to say it at a funeral in a manner that deliberately adds to the suffering of already grief-stricken relatives should open them up to lawsuits for infliction of emotional distress that will rightfully strip them of every ill-gotten dollar they've ever made through their hate speech. Hopefully being reduced to subsistence level farming and/or begging for food will give them something to do with their time other than harass innocent and vulnerable people.

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

Woo, bon! (and not "gummint" Vortex?)

And also Woo Gaiman, Scola!

I used to make homemade eggnog with raw eggs every Christmas. Till everybody got horridly sick one year, including the cats. I still make homemade eggnog, I just use Egg Beaters. H used to make steak tartare, but we couldn't find high enough qualiy beef for a long time, and then we sort of forgot about it.

I might try making eggnog this year, if it's possible to make it in small quantities.

Keep us updated if it's convenient, Scola, that sounds like fun!

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

What do I have to do to get Captain Jack (either one, or the Colonel) to visit me? I will write whatever letter I have to.

It is, absolutely. I used to make it for one.

Hmm. I wonder if my sister has booked our Christmas getaway yet...

Congratulations, bon! What neighbourhood will you be working in?

I may have to hit you up for tips, ita. It was your description of eggnog's deliciousness that makes me want to try it.

Go bon bon!

DH and I read the Michael Pollan book (the short one--anyone read it or his earlier food-related books?)

I just read the short one, Scrappy. And aside from having issues with portions (I like food, okay?!), I'm already doing almost everything he recommends. Of course, I have the luxury of working where I do and being able to afford a CSA.

So, yeah. I've totally been eating healthy for over a year! Ask me how!

Now if only the magical weight loss fairy would visit. That mofo owes me big time.
