I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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.

Ginger,

I am not sure what you are thinking introducing science and facts.

But thank you for it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Soy milk comes out much higher. Soybeans don't seem particularly naturally "juicy" to me.

But if you compare dry soybeans to almonds, the soybeans have a whole lot more protein.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Do bitters taste anything like fernet? They sound like they should.

Nope! They're flavor extracts. I have cardamom and chocolate bitters, and LOVE them.

I love me some bitters. My favorite are Regan's Orange Bitters, which are heavy on the cardamom. There's, obviously, a lot of bitters out there, some alcohol-based and some glycerin-based (Fee's is the biggest glycerin-based one I know of, and they do a really good cherry bitters). The most popular one is, as said before, Angostura, with Peychaud's coming in second (you can't make a Sazerac or Vieux Carre without them). Bittermen's does a great habanero bitters.

Ahem.

I try to eat high protein, but my body FREAKS OUT without carbs, so I eat a lot of salads with chicken and English muffins with turkey and avocado. Almond milk is delicious, and is much better to bake with than soy.

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

My favorite are Regan's Orange Bitters

Me too! I just had my regular non-alcoholic cocktail which is tangerine juice, tonic water and Regan's Orange bitters over ice.

You guys must stop! Now I want a wasabi pickle, an English muffin with turkey and avocado, and Hec's orange mocktail!

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

I add a little fruit juice to seltzer to try to fool myself into thinking I'm drinking soda.

True Lemon, True Lime, True Orange and a Sodastream, and I recently noticed I haven't even bought an Izze or any other drink in a restaurant for months. Water's just fine, if for some reason I don't have a sachet on me.

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

But if you compare dry soybeans to almonds, the soybeans have a whole lot more protein.

Ah. That makes sense.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I need a Sodastream.

Always Anti-fascist!

I want one, but my mother isn't psyched about it.(when I want a household object, it really is sort of tasking others)
