Yep, I have the same problem with Agatha Christie. Makes me weep.
ETA: And don't even get me started on Xanth!

Damn, I sure wouldn't want to be the company that manages security at that...oh.
Ahaha! An article I read about it online even said they have no idea how the Greenpeacers got in the building because security is so tight, and I thought, "Uh oh..."

OK, I looked at the recipe and vushka is definitely not one of the super easy ones. I more heartily endorse the ravioli/tortellini plan.
Oh, man, Polgara, bringing up Xanth. Sigh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Xanth is way worse than Christie, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Definitely do not get started on Xanth.
I did get ravioli, in the end, and it's a little weird mostly due to the size, but I can see where vushka in the borscht would be EXCELLENT.

The Incarnations of Immortality were equally disappointing. Do not read the author's notes.

And then there are the sections of the SF/Fantasy shelves in my library where I started seeing the fail as I went in a series (Piers Anthony) and immediately recognized the fail from the first few chapters (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant).

ION, the bone broth I made turned into a gelatin in the fridge. I'm tempted to just eat that with a spoon for today, since cold food is supposed to be better for the day after wisdom teeth extraction.

See? There's always something chuck-worthy, it's just stuff you'd rather forget ever happened.
