Well, crapdoodle. I've got nothing. I'm watching baseball and being v.v. annoyed at the Fox broadcast. BEcause, seriously, I don't give a rat's half-chewed ass about ridiculous statistics or seeing twelve billion commercials or hearing from Token Woman Commentator who sounds like she's thinking "baseball is hard. Let's go shopping!" every comment she makes. And I can't turn off the sound because I can't find the radio channel that's doing the play by play. Oh look, and now my boyfriend is watching football. Factoid of the football game: apparently you can major in "Turf management" at Virginia Tech. *sigh*

*hugs you*

The last time I watched baseball, it was an Angels vs Yankees game which the Angels won handily. The Fox commentator said, I kid you not, "Well, the Yankees did score enough to win the game."

I boggled for a moment and then shouted at the tv: "EXCEPT THEY DIDN'T SCORE ENOUGH TO WIN THE GAME, YOU YANKEE APOLOGIST DOUCHEBAG, THEY FUCKING LOST!"

I was surprisingly outraged given that I almost never watch baseball.

But the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim won that entire series, so, HA HA to him.

Oh, wait, no you don't!!

Sorry distraction isn't working. I'd offer to help, but I'm on my feet all day.

You could try reading Moby Dick with me. It's 9 million pages long, and my sense of indignation rises rapidly.

I wish I could help.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. No.

I have managed to avoid it thus far!

I'm doing it so I can underline all the uses of the word eskimo.

But it's got canabalism. And ships and whales and instruments of death!

Forth Eorlingas?

Alternatively, I could tell you all about my aunt's brisket recipe. Although giant hunks of meat are very much a Rohirrim-type thing. I wonder what the Middle-Earth equivalent of onion soup mix is?

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

You know, I do not think I have ever had brisket. Is it tasty and good?

[naomichana.livejournal.com]

It is, in fact. What I was referring to is beef brisket, which is a cut from someplace around about the breast, and (in Ye Olde Semi-Traditional Jewish Cooking) gets braised in the oven for hours while smothered with some sort of sauce ingredients, refrigerated, sliced thinly against the grain, and then reheated covered in the now-defatted sauce. So you get slices of really really tender beef drenched in yummy liquid (typically involving juices from the brisket, some sort of onion, and some sort of sweet/tangy flavor combo -- my aunt's version involves chili sauce or ketchup and whole-berry cranberry sauce). It is not dissimilar to pot roast, and can in fact be cooked with additional vegetables.

Cranberry and tomato products aside, it would go perfectly well with fell deeds, fire, and slaughter. :)
