It tastes even better today than it did yesterday.

As far as Terry Pratchett, I thought Wee Free Men was his best work, but Thief of Time was his funniest work.

Cool, those are next on the list, then.

Which one are you reading now? Goddammit, I'm a tard.

Monstrous Regiment was pretty good.

thanks. I haven't gotten very far into it, and I'm glad to hear it's a good one.

I'm not a huge fan of scabs, although I once found one that looked just like  Moby Dick.

Small, white, and ejaculating bad techno? 

Exactly. 

I just started working my way through the entire works of Terry Pratchett because my father-in-law sent us his latest book and HFLS says it won't make any sense to me unless I read most of the earlier books. I finished the Wyrd Sisters mini-trilogy, Nightwatch, Strata, and a couple of others, and now I'm reading Monstrous Regiment.

i love Terry Pratchett. My favorite books in the Discworld series are the Rincewind books, followed closely by the Vimes ones.

Me, too. I haven't read any Rincewind books yet, but I've watched a couple of movies with that character, and he's great! Vimes is in the book I'm reading right now, and he also appears to be awesome.

That's sounds great, Kai.

What I ended up doing was mixing a little mayo with spicy mustard, basalmic vinagrette, and lots of cracked pepper. It turned out really well.

mt friend's mama makes this (sorta) with seasoned meat inside the potatoes then floured and fried. she's espanish

That sounds like  what my former neighbor used to make. Only sometimes, she'd wrap the whole thing in a tortilla before eating it.

it's wicked simple. and like I said, if all you hve is regular flour, that will work fine too, though adding a little cornmeal to it if you have some would help. Also, be sure to add the salt to the flour no matter what kind of flour you use. And I found it works better if your mashed potatoes are a little on the dry side to begin with.

Cool, I'm gonna try this.
All we have is regular flour, but we also have cornmeal.
I'll get HFLS to make the mashed potatoes for me - his are way better than mine, and they're a little drier, too.

[I'm thinking that if I do get a card, assuming the dispensary bill passes I'll grow my max number of plants and donate the excess to a dispensary.]

I think the reasoning for the 24 plants is that they're assuming people will grow for more than themselves, and also that they will grow a large enough supply at any given time that they won't have to grow anymore for a while. You're allowed to have up to 24 oz as well.

Keeping in mind that many people with green cards are severely ill/disabled and couldn't possibly maintain a constant grow op, if they can grow at all, it's very reasonable.

That would be a really nice thing to do, Nigel. The dispensary I go to passes on donated stuff all the time.  The lady who owns it even goes so far as to roll donated pot into joints for the folks who are too disabled to roll their own.  Right now, I'm working on a bag of very seedy Mendocino Gold she gave me -and in exchange, I'll return most of the viable seeds for her to sell or pass on. The rest are going away for when we have a private enough place to grow our own.

I just made a pasta salad with kalamata olives, sun dried-tomatoes, pine nuts, and feta cheese. Now, I have to figure out what kind of dressing to use.

This sounds delicious! And it looks easy enough for my basic cooking skills, too. 

yes.

i'm in doubt.

i will make another one today.

but I'm kind of leaning towards skipping the jam, then adding extra garlic (!!!), and whisking some thai green curry paste through the egg/milk.

A PLAN?!!!

I like the idea of thai green curry paste a whole lot, actually.

I love corned beef and cabbage! Sorry HFLS, from now on it's corned beef and cabbage all day every day!
