Freak that I am, I hate mashed potatoes (and, really, anything that soft and mushy). On the other hand, I adored the Iron Chef Potato Battle.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nigella reckons a ricer is the best way to make mash. Nigella can't be wrong.

See, I've got one of those too. I thought it was an applesauce maker but actually it's a food mill.

Leigh, thing is, being good at Scrabble isn't so much about vocab as it is about strategy and tricks.
Hmm, so I suck not because I vastly over-estimated my vocab prowess, but because I can't strategize worth a damn? mini-Wesley I can live with that.

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

So food mills don't have a crank or anything like that? Because that's what I'd always imagined.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Katie, they do have cranks. It's ricers that squeeze, and food mills that crank.
And I don't know whether I mean porn or not.

Well, you probably can strategize. You just need to hang with a true Scrabble freak for a while to show you all the tricks they spend their lives coming up with and refining.

Ah, okay, so the long pointy thing with a pestle is a ricer, but not a food mill.
I'm sure this can be integrated with the Scrabble/vocabulary talk somehow.

Speaking of Scarbble, I have an issue with Literati. I spent years training myself to use the "u" and "s" spellings of things "colour instead of color, utilise instead of utilize - only when in the UK. I finally said, sod this, and went back to using my UK spellings because spelling things with all those zeds just looks odd to me.
And Literati - the online scrabble - doesn't like the UK versions.
Maddening.
