Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So, just sat through a presentation on Food Trends. I didn't think I was all up on what's cutting edge or whatever (we are still pretty excited about cupcake shops in my county, after all) but everything he mentioned as On the Horizon for 2015-2016 sounded like old news to me. I don't know what to do with that.
Also, anyone who says "Americans eat artichokes wrong" can go to hell.
Laura's version is my favorite, although I deny the premise that drinking alone is something that must be avoided.
Wonders for a moment if I am eating artichokes wrong--stops caring.
People can err the other way in being too helpful with computer access issues. Yesterday someone from the hospital's administrative corps spent way more time talking to us about how my folks would be able to access Dad's patient records online once his PCP's office gets their system up and running than the doctors and nurses did about his test results and instructions, and managed to get in a nurse's way while she was doing it.
Do you enjoy your artichokes? Then you are fine. So sayeth the -t.
Who might be hangry. Watching everyone who physically attended the talk get samples of sauteed mushrooms, bouillabaisse, prime rib, and poached pears while I waited for the damn thing to wrap up past its scheduled end so I can go get some lunch myself did not really improve my mood.
Neither drinking alone nor artichokes...though if this doesn't let up I may *start* drinking, alone, or otherwise.
I somehow managed to get spider-bitten, at least I think it was a spider, about six or seven times on the knuckle of my right thumb. Tiiiiiny little bites, and they itch like crazy. I must be memfaulting, because I can't think of anything that would combat the itch. I threw some afta-bite on it (mainly amonia) yesterday, which stung like a bitch and a half. I've held it under very hot (not enough to scald, but nearly) water for a minute or two, and that helped. But it set up itching today and doesn't seem to want to stop. Any ideas for stop-the-itch products?
Oh no, Beverly! I would try maybe a baking soda paste, but I don't really have much faith that it would help. But maybe it would.

I am curious - what is the right way to eat artichokes, and who is doing it?
I share Jessica's question, if only so that I may learn a new way to eat artichokes. Seriously doubt I'm giving up my old ways however.
