It never occurred to me to peel broccoli stems.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

we ate broccoli tonight! Florets and stems (peeled and sliced on the bias) sauteed along with green onion and prosciutto served with tortellini and pesto.

“Not dead yet!”
One of my lj friends is a television critic and she's currently out in LA for the summer press tour-- today was Starz and she had this to say:
Starz had several cast members, including Dennis Hopper and Eric Roberts, from their series Crash. Lucy Lawless wore a see thru top, which sounds worse than it was, for her new series Spartacus: Blood and Sand. This show looks very cool. Raw, bloody and erotic.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am really tempted to try the skin peeling thing. My guts are likely damp and that might cool me off in front of the fan. OMG, I think I miss the fucking snowpocalypse right now. And that was horrible.
eta: context
Context - trying to be less than naked because of the heat peeling of skin, not peeling broccoli stems.

No skin-peeling. Go soak down a t-shirt, put that on, and then stand in front of the fan. That's what I've been doing.

The fan in my apartment is just being a hair dryer. It's blowing WARM AIR at me.
If I get moist (which I have done, thanks Mr. Shower) it turns into WARM WET AIR and the water on me HEATS UP.
I think I need to finish my space rocket; space is nice and chilly, right?

According to the appendix in the Big Book O' Mayhem, yes. Space = chilly. (With a note about " ... just like your heart", but I don't recognize the handwriting. *I* didn't write it.)

My...heart? Oh, you mean the charred black lump Magz has declared "useless" and a "waste of space" and "something you never bother with", right? I suppose it's rather cold. I never pay attention to it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
StuntHusband it is time to get extreme -- please place a damp ( not soaked) t-shirt in the freezer. When frozen -- wear while standing in front of fan. Please place other clothing in the freezer -- Actually you do not have to dampen it , but freezing your clothes is a time honored tradition. Along with wearing a bag of frozen peas on your head.

If you never pay attention to it, why do you insist I dust the box you have it locked in? Or is that some sort of decoy to fool your enemies into thinking it's important?
