have you seen this? that bastard!

i have seen it! i thought it was interesting that he started with what "i" would do, and only changed to "he" about halfway through, and that he went from a woman being his partner to just "a person". he certainly does know how to get his audience all hot and bothered, doesn't he.

Alright please tell me wendy is the same Wendy getting birthday shout-outs from Tabby P on Facebook otherwise there are TWO Wendies I share a birthday with and that's just statistically fucking improbable.

tsuki_no_bara October 31 2014, 16:19:27 UTC

i have no idea if it's the same person or not! how weird if it's not, tho.

*blush* You're so kind Cindy, I adore you! ♥ Also, I'm getting a haircut next week -- just felt you should know! *grin*

tsuki_no_bara October 31 2014, 16:26:52 UTC

i adore you too! and OF COURSE you should tell me about your haircut! especially if it's a good one. :D

also, do you know a tabby p on facebook? because if not, there's another wendy with your birthday. (apiphile *points up* - who you also share a birthday with - apparently saw birthday shout-outs on facebook from a tabby p to a wendy.)

I DO know Tabby! Haha, that's hilarious.

So, let's talk about eggs. I know... in all this eclectic post, that's the one thing I choose to fixate on ( ... )

tsuki_no_bara October 31 2014, 16:38:59 UTC

well, i posted a picture of an egg, so i totally get the fixation. i think i've heard that about green-vegetation-grazing eggs, that they have darker yolks. i'd expect them to taste a little different too. maybe grassier. and now i want a pastel-colored egg without having to wait for easter. neat!

i can't taste a difference between organic and non-organic eggs, but to be honest i cook them really hard and put stuff in them so unless the difference is really pronounced i wouldn't taste it anyway. far as i can tell, unless you're concerned with how the hens are treated and what they eat - totally valid concerns - the only difference is that organic eggs cost twice as much. (and some of them come in completely absurd clear plastic cartons. showing off their tans, hee. vain eggs.)

we did talk about eggs! the universal conversation piece. :D even vegans can contribute.

I was going to post and say that my eggs have lions stamped on them, but then I checked and actually they don't, they just have a serial number and the name of the place they come from. The ones from the supermarket have lions though, it's a food safety certification thing because the UK is randomly super paranoid about salmonella (blame Edwina Curry).

The ones I get from the delivery place, which happen to be organic, definitely are nicer - they have bigger richer yolks - but I don't think that's so much because they're organic as because the farm feeds 'em really well. (I get supermarket eggs for events cos they're cheaper and I don't feel as bad when inevitably a few get broken in transit...)

But then mostly my thought on organic stuff isn't at all about what we're eating (we both grew up in farming areas, probably breathed enough pesticides as kids that it won't make a damn bit of difference) but more about the welfare of the people in the supply chain.

(that was zpc by the way apparently I am anon today, dunno what's going on)

tsuki_no_bara October 31 2014, 22:56:43 UTC

lj is throwing a fit? the mention of buying eggs for events was kind of a clue. :D

tsuki_no_bara October 31 2014, 22:56:10 UTC

your eggs have serial numbers on them. O.O that's oddly dystopian. next thing you know, they'll all have bar codes. lions are pretty cool, tho.

i don't actually know anything about the supply chain, aside from there are a lot of badly-paid migrant workers picking a lot of produce, but the thing keeping me from buying organic or doing the research to find out who treats their workers well is price.
