fandom...yumm...

Well, I did it! I joined the Band of Buggered forum. :) After months and months of... not joining. Look fun. I already know a lot of members there from LJ or Crumbling Walls, so I don't feel alone.

The last thing I need is another forum obsession to substitute for my glaring lack of a real social life, but I can't help it! The internet and promises of shirtless Spike have pulled me in. Also, fic! Fic and vids.

Fic and vids.

Fic and vids. Say that out loud, what does it remind you of? Making me think of something... Something food. Something with "taters"? Or "and grits"? What are grits anyway?


Crap. Now that won't leave my brain for hours.

On another note... Left over Chinese fried rice is both disgusting and satisfying. I think it helped that I added chicken.

Hmmm, had me thinking back to the fried rice I traditionally get at the Master Works in the Ocean County Mall, NJ. Luke warm and greasy and I get it every time. Cause despite being disgusting, it's absolutely satysfying. So, gotta nod along here. {nodding my head}

Hello, lovely Rashaka! Have people already asked you about your on-line name? Should I already know what "Rashaka" refers to, if I weren't so culturally clueless?

Umm, I don't know if you know this, or if you want to, but see, on WeBoB, my nick is "ObscureRelic". (It's from "Becoming" - that's what the archeologist guy said Giles was known as - an expert on obscure relics.) I chose a different name because I also moderate at another board, and I was afraid that if it was known by some folks that I was actually posting more at WeBoB, it would be uncomfortable. Ire would be raised. Umbrage would be taken.

Of course, now that the world is ending and it's raining fire, I feel you deserve something real, so I wanted to give you my real fake nick. (But we'll hold off on the actual ConCordance, 'kay?)

Now...the important stuff. Grits.
Grits are small broken grains of corn. They were first produced by Native Americans centuries ago. They made both "corn" grits and "hominy" grits.
....
Corn Grits
Falls Mill mills locally grown whole white hybrid corn. The corn is dried to a 14% moisture content, then each kernel is cleaned with forced air. The kernels of grain are run through the mill stone where they are ground to a certain texture and then sifted through two wire mesh screens. The three products sorted are white corn meal, white corn grits and the bran that pops off. There is a fine bran still in the grits product. This bran will never soften up with cooking. Depending on personal preference, the bran can be left in or removed by rinsing the grits before cooking. Yummy!

Hominy is made from field corn that is soaked in lye water (potash water in the old days) and stirred over the next day or two until the entire shell or bran comes loose and rises to the top. The kernel itself swells to twice its original size. After the remaining kernels have been rinsed several times, they are spread to dry either on cloth or screen dryers.

Delicious. But I'd have gone with fish 'n' chips, like green.
