I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

It's milk, eggs and sugar cooked on a low heat until it thickens, then chilled. It's served with bourbon and sometimes vanilla extract, and each person spikes it to their own preference.

Sounds yum. Maybe I'll try it this year. We need to add a little cheer to the festivities, I think. I mean, we're cheery... I'm talking about the liquid kind.

I missed all of September in Natter. That makes me sad. And out of the loop. Six thousand posts.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I like a steak medium rare, and I enjoy a good carpaccio.

I would be very leery of chicken tartare, though.

Tuna ceviche, though, I love. All the lime, yay!

Do they make fatty tuna ceviche? That would be so good. I could eat my weight in toro, and I don't even think what we get in the Midwest is probably all that fab in comparison to the coasts.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay bon bon!(so says the woman who just hit the 10-year mark in her government job)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

We looked at water purifiers, backpacks and mosquito nets today. Finalizing hotels and shacks on the beach this week. Holy crap! I AM ACTUALLY GOING TO INDIA IN A LITTLE OVER A MONTH!

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

For bon bon and erika.

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

My family has boiled custard at Christmas, which seems to be peculiar to middle Tennessee. It's milk, eggs and sugar cooked on a low heat until it thickens, then chilled. It's served with bourbon and sometimes vanilla extract, and each person spikes it to their own preference.

Oh that sounds om nom nom.

I loved beef carpaccio. And I, too, could eat my weight in toro.

Oz has developed some annoying new litterbox habits. He's been pooping in one box and peeing in the other. If the poop box is at all dirty, as it was today, he poops on the floor, even though the otehr box is near empty. He's a weirdo.

You know what Natter hasn't had recently? Baby pandas.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
