A story about "Yellow Submarine"

Yellow Submarine

by George Harrison

This was my favorite movie between the ages of 9 and 11. I’m still worried about that.

Why I recommend "Shadowbeast"

Shadowbeast

by Escape Key

Are you a browncoat? Did you hear Mal’s Song? Did you like Mal’s Song? Well, this is Vixy’s album. The rest of her stuff is just as neat.

A question I have about "Eggnog"

nobody@allconsuming.net (thepooka) — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 22:29:50 GMT

Eggnog

Does anyone else still make this themselves? I mean, pasteurized eggs are so much more readily accessible than they were 5 years ago, and that homemade taste is totally worth it.

Why I recommend "Coconut Bliss"

Coconut Bliss

by Luna & Larry

This is even more delicious than regular ice cream. It has a finer texture, and a flavor that is very light while still being really creamy. It makes the best shakes in the universe with just a little rice milk. Look ‘em up on the web, their site lists the stores that carry it.

A story about "Endangered Species Chocolate Bar"

Endangered Species Chocolate Bar

by Endangered Species Chocolate

I like the Bat bar best. Mmmm…chocolate nibs.

Ew! (rated 1 star)

Foie Gras

by Duck or Geese Fatty Liver (force fed)

We had to try this in culinary school. It nearly choked me…it’s the only food I’ve ever had where I could literally taste the cruelty.

The best tea ever, but beware... (rated 5 stars)

Thai iced tea

by Thailand

Only get this tea in Thai restaurants. If you get it in a coffee shop, chances are they won’t add the spices and it will be lame. Yum, I want more now.

Why I like people who have consumed "Kiki's Delivery Service"

nobody@allconsuming.net (thepooka) — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 21:42:55 GMT

Kiki's Delivery Service

Kiki’s Delivery Service is about a fairy tale witch in a city that has almost forgotten her kind. It’s also a coming of age story. Really great work, somewhat unique as well. I know that people who still like movies like this haven’t lost their sense of wonder.

A story about "Castle in the Sky"

nobody@allconsuming.net (thepooka) — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 21:37:20 GMT

Castle in the Sky

by Hayao Miyazaki

I am totally planning to dress up as Dola at the next SF/F convention I go to.

A story about the last time I consumed "Millet"

nobody@allconsuming.net (thepooka) — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 21:10:43 GMT

Millet

I like puffed millet with molasses and milk or rice milk. It tastes great, and doesn’t make me queasy like a lot of other breakfast cereals.

Why I recommend "Insh'Allah, The Music of "Lion's Blood""

nobody@allconsuming.net (thepooka) — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 21:04:19 GMT

Insh'Allah, The Music of "Lion's Blood"

This is the sister album to Steven Barnes’ book, “Lion’s Blood”. It combines her standard Celtic fare (always excellent in itself) with some fascinating Middle Eastern rhythms, tones and instruments. The lyrics to a number of the songs are mentioned in the book, so if you want a complete picture of the story, definitely consume both!

Lion's Blood

by Steven Barnes

I read this book because I had already listened to its sister album, “Insh’Allah” by Heather Alexander. It’s a fascinating alternate history of North America, if Alexander the Great had taken just a slightly different path of conquest.
