Protein, Liese. Just protein.
The French Onion Soup I had for dinner was good but, I am afraid, insufficient. Hm.
Do you have cheese in the house? I suggest cheese.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The soup was pretty cheesy, I don't know if more cheese is a good idea.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I... actually find it kind of reassuring when the spinach isn't nuked or poisoned beyond all possibility of sustaining life. But then I wash pre-washed veg anyway because my trust threshold is apparently low. And I'm a damned food-hippie.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It was a beetle! Green! Upside down in the bottom of my bowl! With its little beetle legs upside down, waving! Okay, not waving, because it was dead. But still. Not reassuring!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, it was dead?
Never mind, then.

There are people in Cambodia who would love to eat that beetle, Liese. Quit being a baby. Eat the beetle. It's the right thing to do. It's the green thing to do. Don't make the beetle have to go up the food chain to be palatable to you as protein.

And the other day there was something suspicious in my juice. And this is after the 20 day expired smoothie.
Seriously, the world is trying to kill me! Or make me more of a hippie than I already am. At least if there's bugs on my grown greens, I know where they came from. And I don't cook them!

This is why we can't have nice planets. It's on you, Liese. Nice try saving the world with music. Pfft.

Hee. I would totally tag that, except I don't want to look at my tagline every day and think about EATING BEETLES!
