There is, as far as I can tell, no difference whatsoever between grits and polenta except what you call them. Either the porridge style preparation or the chilled and fried version are common to both.

Strictly speaking they are made from different varieties of corn, but I doubt most people could tell the difference in a blind taste test.

And Hil wins the race to pedantry by a photo finish!

You can do it, shrift! One task *\o/*

The polenta pedantry is cracking me up

Ha! Polenta pedantry FTW.

You got this, shrift!

One more week, Calli! Hang in there.

(Right? Yay?)

Yay. Assuming I get it, it would be nice to get the recognition and more money for the level of work I've already been doing. I also hit my 14th work anniversary this week, so it's gonna get awkward here if they don't.

If lurkers supporting you in email would help, let us know.

Heck yeah.

All right, I have sent a list! Now we wait to see what my manager thinks, and then I'm absolutely fucking off for most of the afternoon unless something is on fire.

Woohoo!

Go, shrift!

My weekend has begun! We have planned to do nothing, on purpose. I have dinner with a friend on Sunday, but that's it.

We've been doing good stuff for the last five weekends, which was also on purpose, because we'd become sort of reclusive. But... break time.

I plan to listen to my book on audible a lot.
