We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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

Ask the restaurant if they can deep-fry some of the spinach.

Spinach isn't a food that happy people eat! Neither is, well, pretty much anything that I eat other than sweets and potato chips and fries, according to her.

Hmm. I wonder if "it fills me up and gives me energy to go swimming and kayaking and play frisbee and fly a kite, which does make me happy" will convince her of anything.

What does she think you eat that make salad so odd and unusual?

Well, whenever I go to visit, she stocks up on fake meats and soy cheese.

Mmmmm, fake meat. (No, really. Between my mom & stepdad being vegan -- they're the ones who introduced me to a lot of faux meat -- and cooking for a vegetarian, there's a LOT of fake meat I like.)

Oh Tep-- you are SO June Cleaver in that. With pearls, even!

Well, I wore the dress to work (just your standard A-line shirtdress), but when I put on the apron, I realized that I needed pearls to complete the outfit (I was wearing a typewriter-key "S" necklace). So the pearls were staged.

Huh. But your cooking is better than fake meat and fake cheese. I have had decent fake meat, but no decent fake cheese. You have more sophisticated taste than that.

There are some fake meats I like, but I don't eat them too often. Trader Joe's nuggets are good, and Morningstar riblets, and Smart Dogs. Also some of the Tofurky sausages.

You have to wear pearls with that apron

And, for anyone wondering, the zucchini bread I was baking while wearing the apron -- YUM.
