bossymarmalade: blue eye with lashes of red flower petals (oh honey)

mmmmm, floor-pie

The Wee Sister brought over pie last night and we got Mexican food from Taco del Mar, since apparently one opened here. It was pretty good. You have to understand -- we're starved for Mexican food up here, the kind that doesn't come from the mall food court. So sad. And we watched Angel. Tell me, you Jossfans -- all those parallels between Angel and Batman were part of the concept, right? Because there should be some reason I keep calling Kate "Jim Gordon".

Also, this morning I woke up and Lori was on my computer checking her communities and whatnot and I saw this. I love it. I love it SO MUCH. I *also* enjoy being a girl when it makes hunchbacks drop beseechingly to the ground in front of me. It's like she took a snapshot of my LIFE!!

Today's JC rec: Secret Fish by Eddie of [livejournal.com profile] thebitchtrolls. Okay, so there's not much of a point to the story, and it's basically just JC and Justin talking about...fish. And yet there's a sweet kind of fun feeling to it and it made me smile, and really, that's just as good as something that's full of Deep Meaning, isn't it?

In conclusion, I see that people are gnawing and chomping at the Jesse-i-ie-io conundrum and whether or not he's a "legitimate" character, so to speak. Here's what I think, to quote Denis Leary: Broccoli's a side-dish, folks. Always was, always will be.

Hee! I quite like broccoli, if cooked correctly, but I'm completely whatever on the subject of Jessie. I can't believe people think such a nobody could really bring about The End of Fandom As We Know It.

Broccoli is the stuff of gods. I swear, and I know this probably makes me a freak, that I'd rather have broccoli (stir fried stems with garlic and chilli! broccoli and cashews! broccoli and cheese mashed potato! broccoli sauted with sesame oil and oyster sauce! broccoli and bacon pasta salad!) than ice cream. But then, I've never been one with the ice cream love -- oodles of dairy doesn't do it for me and I've got to be in just the right frame of mind to eat sweet things. Especially frozen sweet things that hurt my teeth.

Oh hey, I dropped by with a point which was, oh yes, mexican food and [livejournal.com profile] ivyblossom's brother-in-law's fabulous tacos. I had these when I was in Canada, and you're Canadian and talking about Mexican food and lo, my mind leaps and the connection is made. Namely, regular tacos are made amazingly good by spreading warmed tortillas with either chilli refried beans or squashed avocado (or both! preciousssss) and then wrapped them around the taco shell.

Because a) the taco shell then doesn't fall apart, and b) avocado/chill bean goodness!

Also, since it is impossible to buy tomatoes that taste of tomatoes (nasty, we hatess them) I advocate the use of sliced cherry tomatoes and plenty of Corona. Or margarita slushies. Or Malibu and pineapple, which for no good reason goes insanely well with Mexican food -- except of course Mexican food is all summery and lazy outdoorsy eatingy and Malibupineapple is the essence of summer; the taste of suntan lotion and sweet sunshiney fruit with or without an umbrella.

mmmmmmmm. All of those ways of cooking broccoli are so fabulous; I started liking the stuff because I was eating it in Chinese food so much (beef and broccoli! mixed vegetables in black bean sauce!) and it was even good in tempura. Which reminds me -- I was watching Iron Chef the other day and one of them made broccoli ice-cream. You could probably do something with that yourself, you culinary whiz you. *g*

Because a) the taco shell then doesn't fall apart, and b) avocado/chill bean goodness!

omg that's such a PHENOMENAL idea! I've seen something like that in Taco Bell commercials, but it never occurred to me to do it when we make tacos. That would be SO good...tacos with smushed avocado are the best thing EVER.

Malibupineapple is the essence of summer; the taste of suntan lotion and sweet sunshiney fruit with or without an umbrella.

*purrs happily* It so *is*. Malibu and Coke is my go-to drink, but Malibu and pineapple is so completely a sun-and-tacos drink. And we have a new deck and new patio furniture out back! I need to do this SOON. I also found this fantastic rum called "Ciclon" that has essence of lime and tequila in it; it's so good I could drink it straight from the bottle, man. Between that, Malibupineapple and special avocado-bean tacos, I think I'll explode from happiness.

I do adore you so. Only you would pop in with food suggestions that are guaranteed to obsess me completely. *mwah*

I can't believe people think such a nobody could really bring about The End of Fandom As We Know It.

wait. i'm so confused, i thought Trace was getting married, which i suppose *could* explain changing his *last* name, maybe. but since when is he calling himself Jessie (am even spelling it right?) or is the fandom calling him Jessie, or is it pod!Tace I hear they make them in twos now. i mean there're the Olsen twins, so.

also, psaw, no character can bring about tEoFaWKI, that's the job of the BNFery. The coming of them, the going of them. oh you know the "you came and ruined my fandom. bitch" or the "i will show you. i will leave and your fandom will DIE. bitch" type things.

I think they come in bunches, like grapes. After all there's Carlos and Freddie to deal with as well; I think we should all be grateful to Joey for not bringing any pointless interlopers into the fandom collective. I mean, Trace is *related* to Justin so I guess that's different, but I just find him so gross I'd rather group him in with the rest. Mr. Cuthbert makes me kind of nauseated even at the best of times.

"you came and ruined my fandom. bitch" or the "i will show you. i will leave and your fandom will DIE. bitch"

You're so right. And there's always the interims where people forbid you to have in-jokes, because it makes them feel sad and they worry that you're mocking them. Which is silly, really, because why would I try to hide it if I was mocking them?

And I'm a carnivore! Give me meat, in fact, hell with that, just bring out the cow. I'll carve off what I want and ride the rest home!

ahahahahaha! 'Cause meat tastes like murder and murder tastes PRETTY GODDAMN GOOD.

Hee! Thank you. :) I think that was originally a challenge-fic, or someone dared me, or something. Yes! Because they said JC and Justin and fish. I can't remember who anymore.

-Eddie.

It's such a darling story! I don't remember having read it before, but that made it even more of a delight to find. Hee!

I'm pretty sure that my longing for deep fried tofu just makes me the kinked out one in this situation.

And my theory on Jessie is that he's an excellent parlor game. Jessie spotting is far more fun, and easier than Where's Waldo.

oddly, both broccoli and jessie would go better with a side of cheese sauce.

mmmmm, deepfried tofu. I quite like tofu, actually; it's just cooked in such tasty ways in Chinese and Japanese food!

both broccoli and jessie would go better with a side of cheese sauce

I dunno, man. Jessie and Lance? There's more than enough cheese in that equation already.

ba-dum-pum-ching!

Match, set, and point.

Straight line delivered, and option picked up.

Is it wrong that instead of "Lassie" or what ever, I just want to call that pairing "Velveeta"?

I really want an order of Agedashi tofu now. The tofu all deepfried, in the vinegary sauce. Heaven.
