To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Yay home team? With the sports ball? Which I didn't watch, because we finally went and saw the Hobbit. But Pete is actually a football fan, and we got home in time to see the last 10 or so seconds.

Our neighborhood is full of people setting off fireworks. I'm wary, because this is when the Death Eaters reveal themselves, right?

I assume this means that Seattle was somehow involved in the Sports Ball Spectacular Spectacular thing today?

It's kind of hilarious watching Pete catch up on things via Twitter and try to explain football things to me. The dawning realization on his face that I'm not even registering what he says as English is priceless.

I do not wave my ignorance of football with geek pride or anything, it's just that I have some sort of block understanding anything sports-related. All the Quidditch sections in the HP books? Skimmed them.

My cousins in Belfast were actually watching the game live today and all invested in it. I think they are better Americans than I am.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Have folks seen the clueless British guy explaining American football?

Football is a game based on “taking other people’s land by force."

ETA: oops. I was thinking of a different clueless British guy video.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is why I never cook with lentils, because it always comes out blah.

I feel like lentils need a fair amount of salt, but you could try adding acid?

Now watching New Girl, and I love that Prince has decided to make this his funny phase.

Oooh, maybe some lemon? I did add extra garlic and salt, and then threw in some spinach and cilantro. So now it has some greens and a little crunch. But lemon might help. Thanks!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm always kind of surprised when I have lentils and like them, because cooking them at home doesn't seem to work out for me, but I do often like them at restaurants or when my mom feeds them to me (can't remember if the last lentil dish I had was something she made or something she had bought somewhere and had a lot of leftovers. Or what it was. Besides tastier than I expected.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I use lemon rind a lot as a condiment often . It perks up a lot of bland dishes
