"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Dinner tonight was roasted sweet potatoes, quinoa, and a salad. Followed by lots of chocolate filled shortbread cookies from Trader Joe's.

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

My dinner was tacos with friends from out of town. I contributed Abita Strawberry. 'Twas good.

He's 15 and a half (almost exactly), and bigger than I was in college.

He's home, he's fed, and he's doing his homework.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My dinner was a ham and Swiss sandwich on a baguette, steamed edamame and a sliced fresh pear. I have to say, we have this dinner , like, three times a week.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I love the dinner round up around here. We eat well, we buffistas.

So the class went well! Only two other people there, but Thursday night is always small. But the routine was good, fit the time frame well, and we all got a work out. So there!

Casual thought spurred by dinner discussion. How big a role prejudice plays in food taste. For example: I love chocolate. That includes chicken mole, and cocoa powder in chile. But: when someone puts chocolate on cheesecake - well that's blasphemy! And I suddenly realized that I can't really justify it - just how I was raised. Chicken breast with (unsweetened) chocolate mole sauce was an occasional treat from the time I was little. Watching the horror on my parents face when they encountered chocolate on cheese cake was also something I remember from when I was little. Its really that simple.
