Counsel for the prosecution, I object to being dinner!
Overruled, said the shark.

I have no objection to chicken - in moderation!
American supermarket chicken has gone anemic over the past few years.
It's been longer than a few years. The same
factors (battery farming, scientific formulation
of feeds with the eradication of bugs and such from
the diet, and so on) that made chicken the standard
cheap protein also made it the standard characterless
protein. Strangely, the chicken I got from the lowly
Market Basket was surprisingly not untasty.
The pork too. It all looks funny.
You knew something was wrong with the world when
the pig manufacturers started advertising "the
other white meat."
the exception of beef liver. It's edible, but not pleasurable
rather
like raw onions.
Funny thing - in order to deal with that bunch
of chicken white meat the other day I had to
fortify myself with a slice of raw onion.
I don't mind raw onions, but do mind the side effects.
You take the bitter with the sweet.
There have been times in my life when sriracha
seems to be at a minimum acceptable level of
heat, with Crytal, Texas Pete, Tapatio, and
most similar mass-market sauces just hot enough
to be annoying but not hot enough to taste
good. Now, a respectable sriracha is hot to me.
That'll probably change again.
Heat tolerance changes over time. My mom even ate something spicy
the other night without complaining. There's hope for you yet.
Everything is variable, always. The challenge
is to maintain some sort of benchmark or
baseline that one can compare with current
perceptions.
The carbs in Craisins is the same as the
carbs in raisins - they're engineered
that way. Whether the sugar is added by
a factory or by some other kind of unseen
hand is quite irrelevant.
It can make a difference when it's metabolized.
But I maintain that it makes much less
difference than people like to think.
And in any case, it's not sitting there looking at you with sad
eyes,
unless it's melting and no one's eating it.
And it is an ex-ice cream. Here's an ice
cream wannabe -
Title: Peanut Butter Banana Milk Shake
The other Ruth wouldn't go anywhere near this. Not sure I would
either for other reasons.
It was an interesting conglomeration.
