Super Sexy!

So they have these dorot things at Trader Joe's. They're minced herbs put into little cube trays and frozen, sort of how they pack mosquito larvae/blood worms for fish. You pop a cube or two out into your food and it melts into the second best thing to fresh. I use the cilantro and basil ones since those two herbs just don't keep. I use cilantro very rarely and basil lasts about a day and a half in my fridge.

Sexy.

Garlic Greens?

So I had this cleaned, vacuum packed garlic I found in the fridge. Some of it was sprouting inside the plastic, which was pretty cool. So I planted it in a little terra cotta pot, and it grew!

Now it's getting tall, and I tasted the greens. Tasty!

Looked it up, and garlic greens are a delicacy. I'm growing them in a 4" pot on my windowsill.


Thinking of tossing them into a caesar salad.

Leaders in Cataclysm

There are rumors that Jaina and Sylvanas are going to die in the assault on Arthas. It makes sense. Sylvanas has revenge for her and her people to carry out on Arthas that's worth dying for, and if Jaina had put out, none of this would've happened.

This makes sense, too. We know the Alliance and Horde are going to be at open war because Garrosh is going to be leading and he has less leadership capability than Basic Campfire. But would Jaina really allow that? I think she'd be able to do something to get Thrall to come back for a few minutes to whack Garrosh over the head. She'd do SOMETHING.

Also, I think Sylvanas would have the sense to convince Thrall to put Basic Campfire in charge.

I listened to the convo between Tirion, Varian and Jaina a few minutes ago. Look at this....

Herald Beluus yells: The Warchief of the Horde, Thrall, and Overlord Garrosh Hellscream have arrived upon the tournament grounds! Clear the way to the entrance!
Thrall, Garrosh and their escort appear from inside the Sunreaver Pavilion and walk along the path following the Ring of Champions, stopping near the middle of the ring.
Thrall says: Garrosh, I expect you to control yourself here. I do not want a repeat of the Violet Citadel.
Garrosh Hellscream says: Pah! That was a show of strength, worthy of a leader. I only regret I did not kill that human before the mage interfered.
Thrall says: We are guests here, Garrosh, and you will conduct yourself honorably.
Garrosh Hellscream says: What honor is there in thrashing about with blunted sticks? This is a waste of time.
The group proceeds to the western entrance of the Coliseum, where Highlord Tirion Fordring awaits.
Highlord Tirion Fordring says: Welcome, Warchief Thrall. Overlord Hellscream.
Thrall says: Thank you for the invitation, Lord Fordring. We look forward to observing these games.
Garrosh Hellscream says: Speak for yourself, Thrall.
Highlord Tirion Fordring says: I hope you'll see the merit of these events in time, Garrosh. We cannot win against the Scourge if we continue to war against one another.
Thrall says: Wise words.
Garrosh Hellscream says: Words of a fool, you mean. The Horde will destroy the undead without your aid, human, or that of the pompous king.
Thrall says: Garrosh, enough!
Highlord Tirion Fordring says: Under my roof, gentlemen, I trust you will behave.
Thrall says: Of course, Tirion. I apologize for his outburst. It will not be repeated.
Garrosh Hellscream says: Bah.
Highlord Tirion Fordring says: If you will follow me, then.
The group then walks in to the coliseum proper and disappears inside.

Herald Beluus yells: His Majesty, King Varian Wrynn, and Lady Jaina Proudmoore have touched down upon the tournament grounds! Make way!
Varian, Jaina and their escort appear from inside the Silver Covenant Pavilion and walk west towards the Argent Pavilion.
King Varian Wrynn says: Tirion.
Highlord Tirion Fordring says: King Varian, Lady Jaina. Welcome to the tournament. Your place in the coliseum is waiting.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Thank you. It's the least I can do to support this; we need to stand together.
King Varian Wrynn says: You ask much of me, Tirion, to sit and watch, trusting the savages to keep themselves in check.
Highlord Tirion Fordring says: My people are here to ensure they honor the rules of engagement. It will do your subjects well to see you in the stands.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I'm sure Thrall will have his people under control...
King Varian Wrynn says: Perhaps. I doubt the effectiveness of this gambit. We would be better served preparing our armies for the final assault.
King Varian Wrynn says: But if my presence is required in these games to gain your support in the battle, then I will remain. For now.
Highlord Tirion Fordring nods and gestures for his guests to follow.
The group then walks in to the coliseum proper and disappears inside.



Same convo, really.
