Political Wake Up

This is an essay I wrote in obama_2008 yesterday, explaining how the Obama campaign shook me out of my lifelong political inertia, and the damage that can be done by people like me who didn't care enough to vote in crucial elections. I wanted to share it with my own f'list.

Gotta Keep 'Em Separated

Last night I dreampt I had to eat eggs scrambled with a generous amount of fresh mint.

Unlike most of my foodie friends, I'm not very open-minded about unorthodox food interfaces. I like mint, and I like eggs, but not in the same mouthful. You can have your chocolate trout, your raspberry portobello steak, and your mint eggs. I don't want anything on or in my eggs but cheese or salt.

I googled "mint eggs" this morning and sure enough, there were some recipes.

You people. *hurl*
