Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha! I may not be a great cook, but I am EASILY able to distinguish edible from inedible items.
Hee. This reminds me that I was trying to explain the difference between plastic and rubber to a coworker when she was expressing some concerns about chewing gum, even the organic kind. (And who knew there was organic chewing gum?)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Years ago the paper had an article by a young woman who'd been hearing co-workers rhapsodizing about tiramisu. She came across a recipe and made it. It didn't look as appetizing as she thought it should; her mother said maybe she'd try it later; her father flat-out refused.
Turned out that when the recipe called for "lady fingers" she assumed they meant what people in her area of India called "lady fingers". Okra.
Edible, but not quite what was intended.

Oh man, that's almost as bad as Rachel's beef truffle on Friends.

hope she didn't make it before she caught the misunderstanding. Like Rachel with the British cookbook stuck together.

Yes, she made it ... it came out ... lumpy. And green.

Eww. That would not be appetizing tiramisu! Could I get someone to fax me a random page? I'm trying to see if it's my printer/fax that's being weird or my fax receipt (which is supposed to go to email). Driving me nuts. Anyone wanna fax a random page to 512-685-7299? That would be super helpful.
