LOL, Tep.(I really did...it seemed like I could say so.) Nora, wrod. On a related note, Tony Bourdain, I heart you, but step off. You're already on record with your too-much-butter bitching, man...do you really have to pick the scab? Also, hello...you were a fiend. Multiple times. I'm fascinated by it and I dig that you lived to tell the story, but I think it absolves you from giving health advice...I don't know, like, ever.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
the Paula Deen/diabetes/butter cookery shenanigans happening this week. The villianizing is SO GROSS and sexist and classist and elitist and I hate that I've been so cowardly in (barely) pointing it out in my little corner of the internets.
What's this one about?
In conclusion: SHAFT eating donut holes.
This sounds so wrong and yet so right.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Eating one donut hole isn't "bad." MAYBE "a little naughty," if you're on a strict-ish diet.

Unless it's dusted with cocaine, it doesn't rank. (incidentally, given my boringly straight life, I always laugh really hard when Bourdain makes a powdered0sugar joke. I may never get over my urge to fake cool.) But it's just so inappropriate in a food show that I love it.

There is nothing immoral or moral about eating. Seriously. It's just food.

Paula Deen revealed that she has diabetes, and there has been a flurry of smug nasty comments about how it's "just desserts" because she cooks with butter, etc.
Because as everyone knows, if you never cook with butter, you won't get diabetes, ever. As everyone also knows, people who are thin/"normal" weight never get diabetes, ever. And people who eat "perfect" diets, devoid of animal fat, carbs, sugar, and joy, never get The Diabeetus. Ever.
So of course it's "just desserts" that a chef gets diabetes. She DESERVES it, you see, because she had the unmitigated gall to cook with BABIES! Um, I mean butter.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Rage. Have to stop talking about it. Seriously. Big Hulk rage and I am not even kidding.
I'm going to resume telling Chatty!Co-worker about Inspector Spacetime.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I hate it when people equate eating anything with being "bad" or "sinful".
My tiny sister does that. "I'm going to be bad and have dessert." JUST EAT IT.

You know, sticking to a diet that is devoid of fat, carbs, sugar, etc., and exercising may not make you live longer, but it will probably feel that way (old joke).

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, I've been getting really irritated at a lot of the comments about Paula Deen that I've been seeing, especially from a few vegan friends who seem to be taking this opportunity to live up to all the self-righteous vegan stereotypes that they usually insist aren't true. And, no matter how many times I say, "Hi, overweight high-cholesterol vegan STANDING RIGHT HERE," they're insisting that their diets are saving them from all of that "horrible" stuff like being fat and sick.

Ah. The food equivalent of slut-shaming, I take it. (Glut-shaming?)

Tony Bourdain, I heart you, but step off. You're already on record with your too-much-butter bitching, man...do you really have to pick the scab?
SERIOUSLY. He probably eats as many saturated fats as anyone on the planet, and he's thin as a reed and assumed, therefore, as "healthy." (though we don't know but since he's not outwardly fat he's not thought of as outwardly unhealthy) Ugh.
Unless it's my food. Seriously: step off my food.
HAAAAA.

Love it.
