Again with the cumin? And what the heck is a quinoa? Is that five times a unioa?

The important thing is to live one’s life honorably. It doesn’t matter what others are doing. And as for expectations, the only ones that matter in the end are the ones you have of yourself. The selfish ones lead a life which Descartes declared not worth living. And he probably said it in latin too!

High expectations
Are like squash and quinoa
Autumn’s great surprise

You don’t like cumin either! You can leave it out. Quinoa is a grain…very tasty.

jman, that is some good advice. Words to live by and all that. As always, thanks for the haiku.

lemmie- (can i call you lemmie?), i really like how you tied this whole post together.
not a big squash girl, but id be willing to give this a go.

You can call me whatever you want…within reason. Butternut is the best squash, IMHO, so I am willing to bet you will like this one.

A trail of dead strippers and empty bottles huh? I think my only reaction to that is: We should hang out.

As long as you agree to be the one to transport the corpses.

as long as it’s dead strippers and not dead bloggers, I’m completely ok with it.

Life is meant to be fun – enjoy it!! Morals are for pussies

I have only killed one blogger…and dozens of strippers.

It’s like you’re magic! I love squash and I’ve been looking for quinoa recipes! Suddenly last week I had this must eat more quinoa urge.

This one will not disappoint. I am here to serve.

I find Johnnie Walker’s advice to be far wiser than Jack’s. You have to take what Jack and Jim say with a grain of salt. They’re sometimes out to trick you. And Jose, he’s a real smart-assed son of a bitch.

Can’t trust them as far as you can throw ‘em.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, about people’s self serving interests and how most will do whatever they need to do to get what they want.

Also? that recipe looks incredible.

I mean, it is understandable on a certain level…but I will be damned if I don’t try to fight it.

And thanks!

Yep, I drove my minivan to work…I sit here in khaki capri pants…I had sex with the lights off last night. Very dull indeed.

You got a problem with my 1995 Town & Country? My dockers? My missionary in the dark?

No, not at all…except for it is the MANIFESTATION OF MY WORST FEARS.

Quinoa never disappoints me, because no matter how it turns out you always get the pleasure of saying it.

It really does roll off the tongue. It also reminds be of Joaquin Phoenix, who I used to love…before he got all sweaty and bloaty and all around sad looking.

This post didn’t make sense until I read Jack Daniels…. Maybe you’re my lost Jack Daniels soul mate, nothing good can come of Jack but it always feels so good while you’re drinking it

We are bonded by a love of Jack and dead strippers, VK.
