Cloudlike? Is that a technical cooking term? "Sometimes it's comforting, but sometimes it cries out for a little more action." I guess getting some "action" would be the adulterating part. Sean,

Ha, ha, ha. LMAO. (I'm with you on the whole adulterated-unadulterated issue, Morgan, but living in a place with high numbers of both Asian peoples and Vegetarians, I didn't wish to offend. Personally, I may have to go with the Costa Rican football club, Liga Deportiva Alajuelense. Ready made apparel AND a cool mascot! Well, that certainly explains the query about being James Herriot.

See, Morgan had responded to a previous post of mine wth the acronym LMAO and while I had indeed read your comments, LDA, I did not assume he was referring to you -- I thought it was another acronym and thus was baffled. Meea culpa, mea idiot. I kinda like Legal Drinking Age but that's pretty much what you'd expect from me. And would black bean and garlic sauce be considered an adulterant?

You had so many others to choose from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDA. Some people are enamored with their given names. I am not. It is as bland as unadulterated tofu. It does not inspire impassioned arias or great literature. It is more suited to bureaucrats and hospitality staff. So, I prefer to use only the initials. Though providing a measure of anonymity, there’s no more profundity than that. Sean,

Are you secretly James Herriot?

Insufficient time devoted to planning? Insufficient dedication to creative pursuits in general? Maybe a little of all of the above. I'm not surprised my subconscious is complaining. I am definitely feeling grumpish about all the things that need doing that aren't getting done because of all the other things that need doing. But hey! I got it done. So I ain't complainin'.
