Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Like, it tastes much sweeter than an equivalent amount of syrup or sugar.

Yes--that's a factor in substitution.

“Not dead yet!”

My dinner was out at local Italian joint. Chicken Francese-- love the sauce and may need to play w/ a variation for myself.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That archer story about the two-finger salute isn't true, apparently. I just heard about that on the radio recently! But they referred to Snopes. Maybe here: [link]

I'm not overly surprised at this (I'm just glad I remembered the story as told), but now I want to know the real story behind the two-finger salute.

but now I want to know the real story behind the two-finger salute.

I'd think it was similar to the Italian two finger salute, which may involve some tongue licking at the V of the fingers. (Followers of the Sopranos may recall that Uncle June suffered a loss of social standing when it came out that he liked to go down on his girlfriend.)

Mac has refused a bath. Day 3. This after over an hour of homework delay. Boy is on his own for getting to bed tonight.

I am so confused on these paint colors. I need a designer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was on A Way With Words that I heard about it, and I can't remember what they said about the two fingers -- but it was something dirty. I feel like it wasn't the v-for-vagina, but can't picture what else it would be....

Good luck, msbelle. How's the school year going, generally?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Dang. How unfortunate!

We had a quick pasta with raw tomato, garlic, and buffalo mozzarella. We also seem to now have a considerable wine cellar, having collected our CA wines from my parents' house.
