All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?  

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

The status is NOT quo.

Just wanted to let the July 31st Rumpus folk who sent me their snail mail that invites were sent yesterday. RSVP date is July 10th and needs to include the following:

  • when arriving and when planning to leave (any time between Friday the 30th and Monday the 2nd would be fine)
  • if you're planning to bring a guest (just so I can get a rough count)
  • if you are staying over, are you bringing a tent etc., or are you looking for a piece of floor/couch/bed inside (I likely won't know who's sleeping where until that night--I think I'll just let everyone know where the possibilities are and let you all decide! I am so not assigning bedmates.)

Also? Ordered two air mattresses last night and a couple of little inflatable pads. Going to be a full house, looks like! I am going to try to accomodate everyone who would like to stay over...we'll fit you all somehow.

Six weeks! Any questions, snail mail addy good.

What's a muffy? I am intrigued.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Kate, if your question is about one of the New Orleans posts, a muffy is almost certainly a muffaletta, which is a kick-ass sandwich.

'Tis a sandwhich ...

[muhf-fuh-LEHT-tuh] A specialty of New Orleans, this HERO-style sandwich originated in 1906 at the Central Grocery, which many think still makes the best muffuletta in Louisiana. The sandwich consists of a round loaf of crusty Italian bread, split and filled with layers of sliced PROVOLONE, Genoa SALAMI and ham topped with "olive salad," a chopped mixture of green, unstuffed olives, PIMIENTOS, celery, garlic, cocktail onions, CAPERS, oregano, parsley, olive oil, red-wine vinegar, salt and pepper. The olive salad is what sets the muffuletta apart from any other sandwich of its ilk. [GourmetSleuth.com]

It is of the yum.

ETA: x-post, of course

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, holy crap, I'm hungry.

Oh my god, that sounds amazing. Mmm, olives.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Cripes. The only muffaletta I've had is the turkey muffaletta from Jason's Deli, but that sounds forty times better (if it comes in turkey).

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I didn't have a muffaleta while in NO. How did I miss that? I love capers and olives and vinegar.

ION, if Nilly comes in August, I'm afraid I won't be able to join the party. Le sigh.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Olives are the tool of the devil. That is all.

The words are English, but I can't make them make sense.
