'Trash'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Then I tasted them and realized they'd been made with vanilla soy milk.
My mom's first attempt at vegan "biscuits and gravy" involved cornbread in lieu of biscuits (not bad in and of itself) -- and faux sausage gravy made with Gimme Lean and *vanilla* soy milk.
SO MUCH WRONG.
motherfucking Patrick Bateman action figure. Who has one of those?!?!?!
You might want to hide Chick tracts around his place.
wait, what's wrong with vanilla soy milk? Isn't vanilla a bean?
Signed, confused omnivore.
Imagine vanilla flavoring in your mashed potatoes.
yecch. Like both, not together!

I accomplished a lot by proxy today. The lawn guy came over and trimmed back my shaggy shrubs (and my scooby shrubs too), and transplanted a wild thing that we think is a mountain laurel into the back garden bed, and rescued my struggling rose from being smothered by an azalea, and put together my new blower/vac, and cleaned off my filthy and spider-infested porch. I did a lot of decision-making and sweating-while-not-actually working and rescuing of mantises. So the outside of my house looks pretty good now, for a change.
