It really was. I tried a second piece just to make sure, and it was just as gross as the first one. I'd take it in to work, but I suspect it would be ill-received, lol. Nice! I think a fruit flavor would've been okay, but I've never liked floral scents, and I guess now I know I definitely don't like floral flavors, either! I can't get on board with lychee for the same reason. My bf lived in Turkey for a bit so there's a chance he'll eat it... I just hate wasting food!

Tried Turkish Delight for the first time today (got a box as part of a Middle Eastern food gift set), and I'm not a fan. Maybe another flavor would've been okay, but it was rose flavor so it felt like I was eating gelatinized perfume. Blech.

Thanks, I'll try that!

Holy cow; you DO have good neighbors!! Very nice. I'm finally trying the EH Taylor Small Batch Bourbon tonight, but it was too hot for a noob at 100 proof and I accidentally overdiluted it. :( Guess I'll have to try again tomorrow or Sunday, lol.

Congrats all around! Seems late for graduation, though... isn't that normally early June? For me: today is the first day of my boss's vacation, extending through all of next week. The stinky co-worker has been scarce while he "stays home writing" (yeah, right) and the other coworker is out as well, so I've got the place to myself. And the weather is beautiful here today. Bring on the weekend!

Wow, that's nuts. Hard to say... Smith was probably hoping for a raise after the playoffs last year, but he was up and down this season and out with injuries for a good bit as well. Tippett seems to have unflinching confidence in him, though... even when LaBarbara was playing better, Smith was almost guaranteed to start again as soon as he was healthy.

Dammit; the one time I actually give a rat's azz about a basketball game and the effing signal keeps dropping. No idea if my antenna's gone sketchy or it's a broadcast issue, but seriously aggravating. It's game 7 of the finals!! Argh.

Definitely awesome! Funny... I rarely salt raw foods like avocado and tomatoes, and I use low sodium soy sauce, but I love vinegar and other salty flavors. Low salt also rules out some of the best Thai food, because fish sauce is loaded with it. So tasty with lime, though.

Yeah... I tell myself it's ok because I have low(ish) blood pressure, but I really don't consume enough water and my dad has had problems with kidney stones, so I should be better about that.

Aw man, I love salt! I think I'd be okay going vegetarian, but low salt would be tough, haha. Good on you, PA... 3 weeks is a great start!

Got a summons in the mail for jury duty. Ugh. At least it's not until August, but ugh.

Lol same here... not a basketball fan by any stretch, but the bf is a Spurs fan so I've been watching a lot of the Finals and even stayed up to watch OT on Tues. I woke up at 5:45am today for no damn reason. I normally get up at 8am and I'm beat since I've been going to bed between 12 and 1am, but I'm awake anyhow. This afternoon is gonna hurt.

I hate that NBCSN passes as "national" coverage. :(

I hope so! Right now I'm just reading the descriptions and trying to "find" those flavors when I taste something, and the sweeter notes are easy enough but the more subtle flavors mostly elude me. Well, practice makes perfect, right? :)

Those are both great shows! I think you can also get them via the NPR app, and I know in the past I've bern able to set the podcasts to auto-download in iTunes for later listening.

Oh how I wish I could discern all the flavors you do when I consume this stuff! Until then, reading your reviews is the next-best thing. Sounds like a good afternoon in WNY, so enjoy your Father's Day weekend.

Glad you liked it! Tonight I'm sipping Eagle Rare in honor of National Bourbon Day. :thumbsup: I also ordered a bottle of EH Taylor Jr small batch bourbon, so I'm looking forward to trying that when it arrives.

I thought they could re-sign (or extend) with their own team any time, and July 1 was only for UFA signings with another team?

lol same here... I read the subject line and my stomach dropped, even as my brain was saying "not possible, it's not July 1!" Got me, though.

LOL someone had this on Facebook with the caption "Quite possibly the worst translation ever."

I got carded last night at dinner for the first time in a while. :)

The Supreme Court got this one right: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/14/us/supreme-court-rules-human-genes-may-not-be-patented.html

HUGE kill. Crawford sharp, curious to see if Horton will be off any length of time, didn't see what happened to him. Geez, both teams are probably glad they don't play game 2 until Sat. So much for Horton being hurt! Going to 2nd OT. Great game, but I'm going to bed!

Stupid penalty by Chicago.

Going to OT...
