Ugh. Just watched a "funny" cat video compilation that was pretty much documented animal abuse using flashlights and laser pointers. Bad taste in my mouth now.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have lazily managed to make 6 jars of borscht chawanmushi (well, it's in the oven now), puree and freeze something like a gallon of strawberries, and fix a pot of beef and beet green stew. Not bad for not trying very hard!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
How is something with made with beets green? [eta: It's beef and beet greens stew, isn't it? Just realized I probably parsed it totally wrong.]
Also that is a lot of food for not trying very hard.

Yes, beet greens. Beet greens stew and beet green stew sound the same in my head...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Franny is going as Luna Lovegood this year, Isaac as Anakin Skywalker. And they decided to trick or treat for UNICEF this year, er, after I assured them we have enough candy to give out that there will be some left over for them. But we do give out a ton of candy every year.

Also beet greens are delicious. Spinach wishes it tasted like beet greens.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Does collecting for UNICEF preclude accepting candy? Cuz if any kids came to my door collecting for UNICEF I would totally clean out my stash of change (I have no folding money on hand right now) and then give a double portion of candy.

It's common to do both. Matilda has done it.

Burrell, a cursory search for whether or not it is ok for kids who are collecting for UNICEF can accept candy yields no specific etiquette. The only real hits I get are for "is it ok to take my baby who is too little to eat candy out Trick or Treating to show off his costume, but not take the candy?" Which tends to get the response of, "that would be weird, what are your neighbors supposed to do, say 'um ok nice costume, have a nice day'? Either take the candy and give it away or collect for UNICEF." So maybe they should not ask for candy on top of the donation, but if candy is offered they can have it. I'd bet more often than not people will offer.
