Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

That fraternity in Oklahoma that had the disgusting racist chant? A while ago a chapter in New York killed a guy in a hazing incident.

Thanks for explaining that massaged kale is actually a legitimate food preparation technique - I think the phrase made me think of people massaging kale in the fields as it grows, like that one breed of Japanese cows.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wagyu kale! That is a great marketing idea.

Dueling at dawn, then. I forget, do I choose weapons or do you?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Face doesn't itch anymore, but the skin on my cheekbone is rough and dry.

That Oklahoma thing makes me think I should talk to my kids about it, but then I think probably 8 and 11 is too young for the nuance of who is allowed to say the n-word in what contexts, and also too young for the horrors of lynching. I dunno. It's hard to know when you're keeping them in a bubble, and then it's hard to know when it's too much too young. I read Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry in 5th grade and honestly I think I never got over it (it is appropriate for that age but maybe I was too sensitive?)

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Windsparrow, I tried the egg salad/avocado thing (thanks, Steph!), and by the time we finished it up (about a week later), it looked AWFUL. I seem recall that earlier (day 2 or 3) it wasn't bad, though. Though mine looked odd from Day 1, just because you don't expect green in egg salad. I suppose I'd recommend home experimentation in your case to get a feel for how "weird" it looks before exposing any likely picky eaters. (To be clear, it only looked awful, still tasted fine).
