    Repost from “yesterday”:

    BTW: this “TV Tropes” page - http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArchiveBinge - is about something that might be a bit familiar to some of us.

    And, also BTW, there’s this great new webcomic…

    And in Girl Genius, a couple of young mad scientists are brainstorming… Poor Tarvek!

    Reminds me somewhat of late evening skull sessions in the organic chemistry lab at Carnegie-Mellon where I was a grad student.

    @ Joe Minotaur: It wasn’t Edda that couldn’t look Edda in the face; Seth turned again to show Edda’s good side. Well one of them. Is he making an bleeep of her or himself?

    Poaching inferrs hot water. And, frying inferrs a cooking grease. I’d say that this Egg was about to get barbecued.

    A little early in the day, but I’m packing egg salad sandwiches for everyone to enjoy later.

    4 Hard-boiled Eggs, peeled and chopped
    ¼ cup Light Mayonnaise
    1 Celery Stalk (no ends or leaves), finely chopped
    2 teaspoons Red or Sweet White Onion, finely chopped
    1 ½ teaspoons Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed if possible)
    To taste: Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper (about 1/8 to 1/4 tsp of each)
    Cucumbers would be nice to add as well, for some extra crunch.

    Instructions:
    Gently toss the eggs and celery together in a medium-size bowl.

    In a smaller bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, onion, salt and pepper. Fold into the eggs and celery. Season to taste with salt & the ground black pepper.

    Chill for an hour or so before eating. For each individual serving, spoon 1/2 cup onto a lettuce leaf or spread on bread.

    I prefer to think of the Eggs as ‘scrambled’…which just happens to be one of my favorite breakfasts:

    Scrambled Eggs With Basil

    INGREDIENTS:
    Olive oil, enough to coat pan and drizzle on tomatoes (see below)
    2 large eggs
    2 basil leaves, scissored into thin strips
    Salt and pepper, to taste
    PREPARATION:
    Heat the pan with olive oil over medium heat. Whisk eggs with the basil and salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan and stir until just cooked through. Serve with sliced heirloom tomatoes (with a little more basil and olive oil on top) and sourdough rye toast (or your own favorite toast). Make sure the butter for the toast is salted.
    Makes 1 serving.

    To go with that, let’s brew a fresh pot of…

    Volcano Coffee

    …and put it on the sideboard for the night-owls.

    Volcano Coffee, naturally, is made by the Volcano Coffee Company. Let them describe it:

    “The mountainous, volcanic regions of the South Seas islands are the only place in the world where the coffee plant is part of the native foliage. Remote and difficult to get to, these indigenous fields yield the plumpest, most flavor-filled coffee beans in the world. Harvested by hand by the Mo’a Mana tribe, these are the beans used exclusively by The Volcano Coffee Company for its unique and aromatic coffee blends.”

    What it is really, is Kona coffee from the ‘Big Island’ of Hawaii, and there‘s three or four places I can think of off the top of my head whose beans can beat Kona…but it sure ain‘t bad and it does say Volcano.

    Now, if only the Master would only introduce a character named ‘Basil’, this would be a perfect Symbolic Snack….

    Basil? Rathbone Or Ocimum basilicum?

    Here’s a tomato to go with the Eggs:

    Might be good, but it sure looks, er, interesting.

    We have a potential volcano about 15 miles west of us here in Bend. A bulge has been growing for about ten years now on the SW side of South Sister. For about 8 years it grew at 1” per year and then slowed to 1/2” per year, but one wonders if it will be the next St. Helens (1980) or Lassen (1917). Every few months there is a small earthquake there. Speaking of St. Helens, geologists recently found that there is a single, massive magma chamber underlying the land between St. Helens, Mount Adams and Rainier. That makes it comparable in size to Yellowstone. It’s a lively world.

    Hitherto, it’s mostly been Lena toying with Roger. Now that he’s found his Satori, he is turning the tables on Lena the not-so-Horrible (at least not when in “Queen”-mode). I guess the first flush of lusty infatuation is still upon him. Will now-eight-again Lena team up with Igor to form a most unconventional rescue party for the volcano-impared?

    THE LAND OF MAGIC

    By ladywolf17

    Part three
    Demon of The Mist

    I follow the path for what seems like hours. I am both tired and hungry. The sun to the west of me has begun to set low in the horizon.

    By the time that I arrived at the beginning of a forest , a mist had begun to form. My body started to shiver as a cold breeze filled the night air.

    I walked on looking for shelter and finally came across a cave. I always thought that caves were supposed to be dark, but this cave was illuminated by crystals that gave off light.

    “Why do I smell a human in my lair?” a dark voice said as a figure came out of the shadows. “Please forgive me. I did not know that this was your cave.” said I to the shape which turned out to be a wolf.

    As I turned to leave the cave, the wolf stopped me. “Please by all means, make your self at home and relax. No harm shall come to you.” the wolf said to me in a kind voice.

    “My name is Deyhon. I am the demon of the mist.” the wolf said, as my stomach growled. “Of course! where are my manners at? you must be hungry.” the wolf known as Deyhon said.

    Using his magic, Deyhon conjured up a tasty dish of food. I ate turkey, with mashed potatoes and gravy. Then I laid down and fell asleep.

    “Rise and shine little girl.” Deyhon said to me, thus waking me up from sleep. “You must continue your journey,and I shall come with you and be your guardian.” The journey resumed, and I was glad to have company.

    Ladywolf: on the topic of converging plots in fiction, I would recommend you read “Fountains of Paradise” by Arthur C. Clarke, and “The Web Between the Worlds” by Charles Sheffield. The ideas contained within the books, and the characters and some of the technology, are so similar that Sheffield’s book has a foreword from Clarke assuring people that it was NOT plagiarism. It was just a good idea whose time had come again. Twice in a year.

    Fairportfan and Paciii: There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who can count in base 2 and those who can’t.

    Edit: I used a text editor (Bean) to write my replies to yesterday’s comments. Took my own advice, I did, and it works. :O

    Look at that sneer on Amos’ face, just look at it! Look at it and tell me he’s not doing this deliberately to get a reaction!

    If I’d pull a stunt like that on the Mrs. she’d hit me! Edda would probably hit Amos, except she has to get down first, that would mean compromising with Seth.

    My Mrs. wouldn’t be so steadfast to the principle – she’d climb down, hit me, probably kick me too in anticipation of my next comment, then climb back up.

    Hey, when we last saw Igor and Lena, Mom was fixing brussels sprouts or something. Now Lena has returned to “reality” to find her house is on fire.

    So I have to wonder –

    Where’s Mom and Dad? The Egg Family parental units?

    I should have expected Mom would be on the Channel 42 News screaming her little head off, “MY BABIES! MY BABIES ARE STILL IN THERE!” And Dad would be saying, “Will somebody get rid of this dammed talking bear, please? Sheez, he won’t shut up!”

    So these would now be Deviled Eggs?

    And, UncaAlby; I’d normally be risking a physical response by saying or doing something like that to my missus as well. Which is why, were I in Amos’ shoes, (He must have taken them off to be able to stand there with Seth, right? So they’re available.) I’d take advantage of a rare opportunity to be a smart(bleep!).
