HERE FOR YOUR EDIFICATION!

A friend indicates that my previous post is profoundly queer.
Reading it left him feeling quite distressed!

I fail to see why..... it was mostly about food.


In order, the following:

Chocolate cake. Wonton noodle soup. Steamed oysters. Roshgullas. Flaky meat pies. Bonbons. Samosas. Dairy.
Yankee pot-roast. Madeleines. Pudding.
Crustaceans. Pizza. Dim sum. Ghee. Oyster Sauce.
Laddoos, rosmalai, sondesh, rimjim, mistee dohi.
Honey.
Cooked zebra.
Whipped cream.
Madeleines. Crisp apples.
Black mustard seed, tej patta, amchur, and cayenne.


These are all very good things!

Literature was also mentioned.
Vampire novels. Famous poet Buddhadev Bhosu. Marcel Proust.

It was a very uplifting post.
And tastefully accented by a classical image, much like painters and poets have done since Greek and Roman times.


EDIFYING VISUAL: VELASQUEZ




So, if you think about it, the previous post was an example of culture in action.
Not problematic at all.



Unless, of course, you do indeed consume overmuch ghee and oyster sauce.
I wouldn't recommend that.
It can't be very good for your health.


Whipped cream is an entirely different matter.

Several times a year for the past five or six years.

Most notably here: night sweats.

Usually lasts for two or three days, first day is the worst.
Swearing helps. Very therapeutic.

Well, at least it gives you another point in common with the great John Hancock. That and the dandyism.

A LACK OF PROPELLANT

Rereading my old posts reminds me that I used to be immoderate. And at times over the top. I've calmed down and grown up since then. Now...
