Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Clearly, corners of the internet don't know that JazzFest trumps anything.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I decided to try making chili from scratch today, instead of using per-seasoned beans. Initial tasting suggests I really overdid the chili powder. All the ingredients are healthy, but I suspect it's gonna take a fair bit of sour cream to make it pallitable.

Tom was very thoughtful.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Bring Tom with you to Kenya. That solves one problem.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The whole "veganism will cure all your health problems!" thing really annoys me.

On the other hand, I would have no problem at ALL sticking to an all-Oreo diet.

I wholeheartedly agree that Tom is the best, as if there were ever any question about it.

No, I dislike all kinds of food that I cognitively know are good for me, like most green vegetables, since they taste seriously bitter.

And when you say they taste bitter, they just say you're fussy.

Go to Turkey. I'm pretty sure they have tea there.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Awww, thanks guys.

I was inspired by JZ, who once left me beer and cookies at the hotel for me when I arrived late after a long flight.

Aw, just like we used to leave for Santa. That's great.

These "BLT Deviled eggs" are a little bland (to be fair, I left off the L and the T, but they're just garnishes). I think mixing some tomato paste into the yolks next time might be a good idea.

Go to Turkey. I'm pretty sure they have tea there.

I've heard of Turkish Coffee, but Turkish Tea is not ringing any bells...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Chai. It's actually a substantially more popular drink in Turkey than coffee.

There you go. Recalibrating that bell, hopefully. I was racking my brain and only coming up with a vague impression of mint.

Cheesecake will have go wait until after GoT.
