Pale Green Food

Man, I acquired a bunch of neat stuff today.  A bouquet of Crazy Daisies, two dozen farm-fresh eggs and a box from Zingerman's all came to me by various means.  I knew about the Zingerman's order, as I placed it, but the others were a surprise.  The Z-box contained a jar of pistachio cream and three loaves of chocolate sourdough bread.  As in, sourdough bread laced with chocolate chunks.  When I was at university, one of the "hippie house" co-ops claimed to make and serve just that, but I never wanted to eat at Columbae and so never tasted it.  Fortunately, Zingerman's can supply me with what I need.  As for the pistachio cream... it's this heavenly pale-green substance from Italy that should be used as a cake topping but I like it on toast.  Or a spoon.  :)

The eggs-- one dozen duck eggs, one dozen chicken eggs-- are also an eerie pale green.  When my co-worker told me he could get me green eggs, I was thinking a brilliant teal, like an emu's egg.  These green eggs are a little less unsettling, I guess... I should serve them with ham, heh.  Anyway, I have some foodie friends coming over on Saturday and they should be intrigued by it.

I am taking tomorrow off work.  As in, OFF-off, don't call me, phone's on the charger.  This is not something I do often, but in this case something just has to give.

I was gonna post some notes for "The Most Exclusive Dive In Town" because it's screwy enough that I feel the need to explain myself, but I'm not in the mood right now.

Hey, there is new good stuff in the FE section of eff-eff-net!  And no, I'm not plugging my own stuff.  There's promising new Elibe 'fic, and "new and different" Elibe works aren't easy to come by.  All you people who mourn the dearth of reviews-- go read "To Sew the Seeds of Discord" right now and review it.  And yes, that's a pun in the title.  And read "A Second Betrayal" while you're at it.
