Dear Hyla~

how exciting to see my name was mentioned during my weekend haitus... and how equally disappointing to find that you're merely one of the minions who lust after dark chocolate. i prefer to think of mine as a more refined palate .

yes, i eat the white stuff. not often though, as desserts in general are not my favorite fare (i tend to be drawn first to proteins, then to carbs, but i don't suppose my eating habits are of much fascination to anyone a-Board, so moving right along...). and yes, before anyone hastens to remind me, i am well aware that my distaste for chocolate is a disgrace to my gender--a snub of my womanhood--to say nothing of a slap in the face of cupid. ever the iconoclast, i am.

there was a point to this seemingly gratuitous post: Hyla's bearmeat cookbook (be a dear, leave me off of your next dinner party list, please?) reminded me of something funny that circulated email a while back, comparing home economics as taught to young women in the 1950's to that which might be taught today.
