<[[heather]]> I have never eaten silverbeet. (Silver beat: semi-precious hipster.)
|
|
This is not Heather, but I am on her account.
|
|
|
|
<[[Molly]]> is it also a cheese? or a silver root?
|
|
|
|
<[[caeb]]> Brennen believes that all things are better with cheese.
|
|
|
|
<[[Brennen]]> It is basically what they call swiss chard in NewZealand, I think. You eat the greens.
|
|
|
|
I do believe that all things are better with cheese.
|
|
|
|
<[[Brennen]]> Except for vanilla ice cream.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<[[caeb]]> I still remember when you tried that. It was a lesson for us all.

<[[Brennen]]> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chard
|

|
|
|
<[[Molly]]> you TRIED that? I am in search of a good cheese, and finally found some imported from Switzerland that comes in little spreadable wedges, which I was quite fond of in England. thus, I am quite content. and smug in my pseudo-European sophistication. Some things never change.
|

|
|
|
|
<[[Molly]]> also, Brennen should go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silverfish
|
|
|
|
|
|
<[[Brennen]]> Ok, so maybe they're not little crustaceans.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<[[Brennen]]> I was recently correct about the classification of various animals as marmots, however. That has to count for something.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<[[Molly]]> not as far as I'm concerned. It's like your version of me being wrong about the intro to Long Tall Woman being nothing like Don't Fear the Reaper. We can admit these things, we're all adults here, in a way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<[[Molly]]> oh and of course marmot classification does count for something. Other than them being mammals, I haven't the slightest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<[[Brennen]]> In a way.
|
|
|
|
And all right, I concede. Although until someone looks it up I'm still convinced about rollie-pollies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<[[Molly]]> What was the rollie-pollie deal?!? I swear, you menfolk are so stubborn.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<[[Brennen]]> I think I [http://www.whatsthatbug.com/Pill.html win this one].
|
|
|
|
|
|
<[[Brennen]]> Somewhat to my own surprise. Perhaps I had mentally conflated these with silverfish.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<[[caeb]]> I feel I ought to have a point to make, but I've no idea what you're talking about.
|
|
(There's lightning here, and the sky is making strange noises. It's the kind of night the El Greco hands get you. I don't want to be got.)

|
<[[Brennen]]> Also, read that piece for its mention of "lawn shrimp".
|
|
|
|
|
|
<[[caeb]]> Hullo, brother. I see you are awake.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<[[Brennen]]> I am. I should go to sleep. But I'm serious about the lawn shrimp.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<[[Molly]]> Hm. I could see how you would have been confused about the silverfish. how fascinating that rollie-pollies are little crustaceans!!! Maybe you should put lawn shrimp in your cottage pie. heh.
