thebewilderness, thanks for that link. With all the roller derby talk it’s nice to have a visual reminder of just how the male gaze works.

Vanity isn’t dumb. Putting your sense of self-worth in how you look is dumb, and making your sense of whether you look good or not dependent on what other people think is dumb, but being damn proud of your fine self is awesome. I always loved what a girlfriend of mine told me one of her college friends used to say:

My friend: “That shirt looks great on you.”
Her friend: “Damn, woman, you think she don’t know that? She put it on because she know she look good in it!”

I think that’s the attitude to go for.

Cripes, if I didn’t have eyebrows no one would ever know what I was thinking, even while I was telling them.

Myself, I use a lot more lipgloss since I got the braces. I don’t have much left in the way of lips; it’s just one of those things nobody thinks to warn you about: braces on your teeth dehydrate your mouth like crazy.

If we all had facelifts
We could take the exta bits and
Clone a Twisty fighting force
If we’ve got one, why not build us some more
A Twisty army set to go to war

And if they all want eyebrows
Let them paint or draw them
Using any color that they like
Eyebrows, shmybrows, it won’t affect a frown
(Though the real ones keep the rain from dripping down….)

etc.

alphabitch — that recipe has me drooling. even if i have to use store mushrooms as a substitute.

twisty — WTH? you are used to having eyebrows, so go for it. thank god you haven’t taken up my mother’s maybelline eyebrow pencil, which is possibly the nastiest cosmetic ever [at least as i have seen it applied].

Up goes the butter, down go the morels.

Also check the morels for bugs before cleaning and eating. My mother once served me a batch that were inhabited, which kinda put me off morels. On the other hand, we once had an amazing omelet with morels and some sort of cheese, mild goat or cream, at a place that also had wonderful huckleberry pie.
At the last place I worked, the new landscaping included plentiful bark mulch, which grew morels. I picked ‘em all and shared them with the boss of my boss, who was quite the enjoyer of food, and sent a few dried ones to a friend. They didn’t grow again the next year - business as usual for morels.
I once read that there was a tremendous growth of morels in the ash of the Mount Saint Helens eruption, but that since the ash could not be removed from them by any reasonable effort they were inedible to humans, one of the unkind jokes sometimes played on lovers of the fungi by a cruel world.
The morel’s great virtue, apart from its taste, is that with reasonable care it may be picked and enjoyed even by novice fungus collectors, as it is easily distinguishable from any other fungus. It is not flashy, but a neat and handsome fungus. And I haven’t had them in years.

And alpha, thank you for the recipe, it looks yummy! I never had enough morels for soup. Only enough to sautee and eat right out of the pan before anyone else found out I had ‘em.

There is nothing wrong with not wanting to look sick. In fact this is the primary reason I wear a wig to work instead of being the proud skinhead I am when I am in my car or at home!
