Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Carb slut. It's amazing you were able to stick to the high protein diet.

That's why it's so good for me -- left to my own devices, I will eat 90% carbs. And 10% cheese.

But often they aren't on the same plate. Sometimes they are, but usually we get chicken + gravy on one plate and the waffle on the other.

That completely changes my mental picture. I thought it was, like, a chicken/waffle sandwich. If they're on different plates, the waffle is like cornbread or a biscuit, just with little holes.

Perhaps it's different elsewhere, but the naan that's available at two restaurants here is not unlike a gray, droopy sponge that's been sliced into wafer-thin servings.

Yeah, that's REALLY bad naan. The naan I've had is delicious, not unlike a slightly thinner warm pita bread.

Somebody should deny her Roscoe's for a little while until someone can film this for posterity.

Then push her nose.

Hey! Now my nose itches, I hope you're happy.

Naan does sound good. Plei, wanna go get Indian food this weekend. Want Pete & I to bring you Indian food this weekend?

The ethiopian crepe-y tortilla things did give me pause for a bit, but I decided I liked them after all.

That's the one bread I don't like. I don't especially like sourdough to begin with (sorry, San Franciscans), and the Ethiopian stuff is like a concentrated version of what I don't like about sourdough.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I don't like sourdough either, but I like injera. Probably not straight, though--only with yummy food on it.

I OD'ed on mac&cheese years ago

Is that even possible?

Enjira!

I love a small amount of this, but by the time I'm half-way through the meal I find it off-putting for some reason.

Naan, though. Yum. You could get that in the grocery store in Montreal. I used to use it for sandwiches, what was left after I ate the first couple right out of the bag anyway.

I OD'ed on ramen in college (I think that's a degree requirement, along with 2 phys. ed. credits and a couple of science classes). In spite of considerable effort, I haven't managed to OD on mac & cheese.

Mmm sourdough.

Jilli, I should have added that immediately after they have to take you to Roscoe's.

OK, so far so good with the bread food-porn discussion.

What about dumplings?
