Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Ugh, Maria. I'm glad you said no.

American T-giving is 3rd Thursday of the month, yeah?

Our wings are not tired.

Of late food seems to be trending toward ma belly.

Mine too, Laura. It's that time of year where my body wants to fatten itself up for winter, despite me having quite enough insulation already.

I'm pretty sure it's the 27th, Sue, the 4th Thursday.

-t, what were the upcoming food trends??

There were a bunch. Coconut flour, dark chocolate, almonds, salted caramel, pistachios, seaweed, pickled and roasted vegetables (vegetables that have been both pickled and roasted, that is, which is the only one that was really new to me), green chickpeas, tofu in sauces and desserts, green tea powder - that's all I can remember. Sous vide and slow-cookers for preparation. Oh, some new kind of lime that's tiny, but my audio cut out while he was explaining that so I didn't get the details. He said several times that we will not recognize American breakfasts in 5 years, but I don't know in what way they are going to change. I don't even know what they are supposed to look like now, really.

American Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday of November. And here I am still trying to ship Black Friday merchandise! Sucks.

Sorry about your daughter's dog, Sail. Always so sad.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Coconut flour

I feel like this is already a trend, but then I remembered I read all the gluten-free blogs, and some paleo (because they don't eat wheat), and they've been baking with coconut flour for a while. It's popular with paleo types because it isn't a grain at all.

salted caramel

Now this I would swear is already a trend.

I feel like most of those things I can get at Trader Joe's, which seems like it might be past upcoming? I don't know. Maybe he means Jack in the Box is gonna develop this stuff for their menus, I'm not sure.

Deviled eggs are made. Forgot to sprinkle them with paprika, but I can do that in the morning. And if I forget, oh well.

I swear salted caramel was a trend about two years ago.

I really know nothing about gluten free baking. I should learn, because I do know a couple of people with gluten issues. And it would be interesting to learn.
