geee, I guess I missed out on some good grub

all I had for dinner last night was grilled corn on the cob, 2 hamburgers, and 2 beers.

We most certainly could have worked out a trade.

Bring them to the story discussion tomorrow evening 10pm est, 9pm central. We will be holding the first reading group discussion, to discuss the Intro and first story (Dolan's Cadillac) in Nightmares and Dreamscapes.

That sounds like fun. Does the discussion go on all week or does it only last for the night?

Or you SURE you want me to bring that salad to the GROUP? That could be devastating to future meetings.

Hey, OoO, I have a *great* recipe for cauliflower soup with toasted cumin and lime.
Zero side effects.
Low-calorie.
Quite tasty.

Lily, the only way I can be bribed to eat anything with cauliflower in it is because of the fun I get from the side effects.

Legal chemical warfare! Cool! I've done that myself; accidentally at times, I must confess.

How did you load up the warheads?

You simmer the florets with a sliced onion in chicken stock.
Puree everything in a blender.
Add to it the juice of 1-2 limes, some salt, and some toasted-and-ground cumin seed.
No warheads loaded at all because all the ammo has dissipated.

Most definitely Gurk! goes to lima beans and a double Gurk! to the beets. Cauliflower will get a gurk!

And I love me some turnips!!!!!!!!!

A brae Scotsman you are, aye.

This is how I get my 12 year old to eat certain foods, by promising the disgusting after-effects. "This will make you really floofy!" or, "This will make your pee extra stinky!" work really well to get him interested.

This is a weekly or bi-weekly (to be decided) online reading and discussion group we are starting. So yes, bring a huge bowl of it.

One of my most traumatic childhood experiences was having to sit at the table until I ate all of my beets. My parents loved them and served them weekly. :Z:

My mother tried this trick on me once, only it was Lima Beans instead of Beets. She lost. After 2 days of not eating she realized I was going to wind up in the hospital and she was going to have to answer some difficult questions. I was a hard headed kid like that, never really bad but I couldn't be bullied, not even by my mother.

I tried to outsmart them with the beets. I would slyly slip them into my pocket (if I was wearing something that HAD a pocket) and then say I had to go to the bathroom. On the way, I'd hide the beets under the couch. It only took a couple of weeks for my mom to find the evidence. She thought it was funny but it still didn't exempt me from eating beets. :flat:
