I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You may have my cooked celery, Cindy. I pick out the solids, once the dish is finished. Cooked celery "solids" are...um. Off-putting. The flavor, though, is wonderful. We do the same with onion solids. H either purees onion before he adds it to things--actually I prefer he halves the onion if possible and then removes the solids from my serving. I react horribly to onion solids, though I can get away with foods flavored with onion. Celery doesn't provoke a physical reaction but it's still very unpleasant cooked.

I don't particularly mind celery, but iceberg lettuce is a styrofoam abomination, and should be banished.

Iceberg lettuce has a place- with tuna salad or bleu cheese. I also like cooked celery, and even cream of celery soup, but I do not care for fennel/anise.

I also am a weirdo, because I prefer most vegetables cooked or wilted, included lettuce (except the aforementioned iceberg with tuna salad), In general I just prefer warm food-- I used to nuke potato and macaroni salads because I just wanted them warm.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I love a really crisp crunchy piece of iceberg lettuce on a cheeseburger just off the grill.

What is even happening?

I like iceberg lettuce on BLTs, where flaccid lettuce has no place, but I like it for the crunch, and the bacon and (good, summer) tomatoes already provide enough flavor to go around. I also like it on burgers and on tuna (probably on all sandwiches, now that I think about it).
