Elephant Paella:
Place 5,000 lbs Elephant steak in world's largest slow cooker, due to the nature of elephant meat it takes this prep. Cut up 450 Spanish onions and place in slow cooker, along with 2 pounds of Saffron threads (a little goes a long way), and broth of choice to cover (for a traditional elephant paella, a seafood stock works best). Cook on slow until tender, roughly 5 weeks. In a gigantic pan, brown 5,000 lbs Rhino chorizo (Rhinizo!). Place slow cooker mixture in gigantic pan, along with 10,000 cups of Arborio rice, 5,000 cups of sweet peas (frozen works well here), mix very well, and then top with sliced sweet red peppers (about 250 should do it). Cook on an open flame until rice is tender and begins to caramelize on the bottom, but don't burn it!

... Why did I type this?

Still bet it tastes like chicken.

Thank you Michelle.  I keep looking at all the things I'm doing just to present the first time.  You are right it'll pay off in the future.

I was just thinking about this from a daily preparation perspective. Right now I'm budgeting 3 hours to get ready for my therapist appointment. I thought about that and realized... thaaaaaaat's not really maintainable for day to day life. But then it hit me, it won't be forever. Taking hair out of the equation is like an hour and a half of that alone. With any luck HRT will mean I don't have to spend 45 minutes going overboard on makeup, plus that will just get faster over time in general (already has significantly in just a few days). Moving to the coming out part of everything... close family is the hard part, and they come first. Coming out after that will be a cakewalk in comparison.

Behaviorally, learning new habits is hard. But once they become the new habits, they become easy because that's how habits work.

    Try buffalo, takes much less prep, easier portions to deal with, and tastes much less gamey. Still, your post made me hungry. lol

HUGS!

Nope, but spoo is another term fit standard poodle.  I had to cover Fantas eyes from this post:)

I always wanted to, but it was so hard to keep up with syndication airings since it would come on weird times for someone my age at the time (like 13ish? It was early-mid 90s right?). I should go back and marathon it someday, even if Straczynski did help ruin Spider-man.

From Wikipedia:
Shmoos are delicious to eat, and are eager to be eaten. If a human looks at one hungrily, it will happily immolate itself — either by jumping into a frying pan, after which they taste like chicken, or into a broiling pan, after which they taste like steak. When roasted they taste like pork, and when baked they taste like catfish. (Raw, they taste like oysters on the half-shell.)

Mmmmm... shmoo

Steph

PS: Plural for shmoo is shmoon. Now you've learned something today, and can go back to bed.

It took me about 30 minutes at most to dress up, 10 minutes at minimal time when I was in a hurry and would only do my face... well, maybe I'm a slacker in my routine.

I have fast growing, very dark hair on Celtic skin that requires daily maintenance(technically twice a day really). I'm budgeting extra time for this since its a special occasion, but in general if I want to be presentable it is going to be a huge investment each morning. :-/

Yeah, you are most likely will have the best improvement when your facial hair is gone. My facial hair is blond and not much visible for 2 days after a quick shave

Yes it will, big time.
