Welsh cakes: link. They're hard to describe because I really haven't had anything else like them. Sort of a denser pancake cooked on a griddle with currants in them.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Mary Sue should exercise more control over the ads on their site, if they can. I know I've read about certain cites closely curtailing divisive or alienating ads popping up. But I clicked on the link to women-must-stay-nubile-here's-a-token-man article from there. It seems...contradictory to their articles.

Thanks, sj. I seem to recall actually making some of those recently, or maybe they were Scots griddle cakes. Something like that, though: a dense slightly-sweet biscuit with raisins, cooked on the stovetop.
ION, I seem to have failed my online computer security test. I'm going to assume that it's because I was too conservative in my answers; maybe it is acceptable to check eBay during lunch after all. (The frustrating bit is they don't tell you which questions you got wrong, which is not conducive to learning!)

What's the what with Mos Def/Yasiin Bey? Which name is he going under, and should I file his pics under the former or the latter?

The two are probably very similar. And this started a conversation with TCG about how we both really want to go back to Wales. We were only there for a few hours.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
He's Yasiin Bey now -- there was a long piece on the Awl about him recently.

So should I call him Yasiin on the website, or go with the name that has the most familiarity behind it?

So my SIL sent my sister & me each a $200 gift certificate for a famous high-end local spa (the Claremont, for the Bay Area-istas). And after examining the price list, I have discovered that $200 will get me a long massage, and... that's about it. The day packages, with two treatments and a meal, start at $330 and go up. A 50-minute massage is $150 there.
Bzuh? it was really generous of her, but I wish she'd gone for one of the less prestigious spas, we'd get more for our money...
ETA: And yes, definitely a "my diamond shoes are too tight" problem, I am aware.
