Paigow, you behaved perfectly with the gumbo. You graciously thanked your host for his extra efforts to accomodate you, and you didn't eat something that you felt you shouldn't. Brava.

On a totally different note, I have rediscovered my cache of fountain pens. Yea fountain pens.
I cant believe I did something right. I pretty much felt everyone thought I was being high maintanence and rude by not accepting the extra effort made especially for me. But they all ate everything with four legs and whiskers and had no dietary limits, whether chosen or not, and couldnt understnad. Its too bad theworld has to be segregated like this.

My favorite Mr. Knightly is Jeremy Northram (swoon) from the Gwynneth Paltrow version, but my favorite Emma is Kate Beckinsdale from the BBC version (not sure it's BBC, but sure it's an Andrew Davies adaptation).

There could be no more perfect Miss Bates than Sophie Thompson -- she was absolutely perfect (GP version), but Toni Collette I thought was completely miscast, as was Ewan MacGregor. Samantha Morton was a terrific Harriet, though.

I'm not sure about black beans here, since the lard thing doesn't bother me that much so I never bother to ask. I'm going to guess that it probably depends on the restaruant and whether or not they care about vegetarians and how they prepare their beans.
I have to ask. I know you have a no limits policy to eating animals, except your dog, but how can lard not bother you? Haent you heard the term "lardass"? To me, I imagine something deep fried in thigh flab, or ass jiggle. And now that I have seen lipo on tv, its even worse. fuckin nasty.

Lard is just fat, like bacon fat (yummy to cook eggs or pancakes in) or butter or peanut oil or olive oil. All of that stuff is 100% fat. To me it's most akin to butter because it seems to come in slabs like butter (or sticks) and it's solid (it might also remind me of shortening or margarine, but I don't buy/use those personally in cooking so butter it is for me). I'm thinking it's not a nice warm friendly butter color, but is more just white. Which is kind of unattractive and brings shortening to mind, and shortening is kind of gross.

But once you acknowledge and come to terms with the fact that fat is in certain foods, it's no worse than any other fat.

I don't have a visceral disgust of fats, though.

As to the fur thing, I'm not pro-fur so much as I'm not anti-fur. Just like, in the same way, I'm not pro-abortion, but I'm certainly not anti-abortion....

1) Nobody likes abortion. But some people, like PJ, seem to enjoy fur. So I dont get the analogy

2) Its not that I want to ignore you. But I defintiely do not want to go into chocolate craving mode. It is 225 here, and the cravings usually hit around 3. Plus I am PMS. So I dont need it. I dont totally have a feel for you right now, other than loving the joy of childbirth (I had to skip all those childbirth posts yesterday, sorry, not my cup of tea) and while I remembver your moniker, I dont totally recall your persona bc I smoked a lot of pot about fifteen years ago. So its a balancing test. My desire to not desire chocolate outweights my desire to read your posts. Right now. I might like you as much as NCS and RP after a week or so.

Looking into it myself. From what I understand the little receiver that you can move from place to place (home, car, office) is about $200 and you may need some adapters for it. The service itself is about $10-12 a month. I'm seriously thinking about getting it, and my only question was whether you can pick it up in these concrete and steel edifices we call office buildings...

If you can, I'm buying the service for sure.
Hopefully not already answered, but that may be a problem. I've had it on rental cars and going through the woods was a no go. There needs to be a direct southern view, although the metal and concrete are not a problem as with fm. The stations weren't too bad, although as with DirecTV or anything else the rotation cycle begins to get annoying if you listen too much. Not that "live" radio doesn't, at least you have the commercials to distract you.

They had that guy in NY? We had him in Harrisburg last year. I told him he had a sick mind and laughed at him. He yelled at me. It was classic.

One of the cops told him to cut it out or he would arrest him for being indecent or something like that. He came back this year but without the cords.

(The cop didn't mean it he was just irritated with him)

But no, not the same person.

There are different types of fats. Unsaturated, saturated, and trans-fats. And you better learn that you don't want the saturated fats from animals, but the unsaturated fats from things like olive oil.

I'm half-Mexican and from a long line of ranchers. It's something I grew up with, and in recent months studies have shown that it's not any worse than most of the other shortenings that people use. It's an ingredient made from an animal that is used to cook with, not some social comment.

OH FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST. I mostly compared it to butter, which is mainly saturated fat just like lard is. And paigow was grossed out by it being "fat," not by its effect on her circulatory system.

If I had wanted to do a little lecture on the varying effects of monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, saturated fats and transfats on HDL and LDL cholesterol, perhaps with a detour into the whole issue of how the vast majority of molecules occurring naturally are "cis," but artificially-created molecules are frequently "trans," with perhaps an additional detour into a musing on whether the fact that our bodies likely aren't (in the long historical view) accustomed to trans fats is why transfats cause our body to do bad things, I would have done so.
