Last night, I made teriyaki chicken - on accident. I am not a very precise cook in any case, but I had a headache last night and that tends to turn me into a growling mass of incoherence, so I was just tossing things into a bowl like Bernard and Manny mixing wine.

Some people seem to think she just doesn't fit their idea of femShep - which is a valid opinion - although less so when the objection was that she was blonde, because of course all blonde women ( Read more... )
