Use 4 different kinds of heirloom tomatoes. It involves goat cheese and some other kind of cheese that I haven't been able to identify (not that I'm a cheese expert!) -- possibly, maybe, fresh mozzarella.

And puff pastry. It's a flat one-serving tartlet. It's REALLY good. Ask ncs.

You guys are in my book group? Huh. But it was parmesan, and creme fraiche with a little dijon mustard in it.

do real women compare it to flowers?

I went to the Georgia O'Keefe exhibit at the Minneapolis Insitute of Arts a few weeks ago. There was ONE flower painting -- ONE.

However, there were a lot of paintings of pelvis bones and several that look exactly like ultrasounds, as confirmed by my ObGyn sister (who was relieved to not see vaginas on her day off).

That is so interesting I often wonder how a male ob/gyn is able to just separate and block it all out.

My ob is decent looking. He runs at least 5Ks. Not sure if he ran the marathon this year.

I see the new J. Peterman catalogue arrived in yesterday's mail.

Apparently you don't know that Urdu is his native tongue.

Are you and Hank borderline retarded? If the joke is that the context in which the woman used the word to refer to her own fancy place would give away the meaning of the word, could you at least pretend to possess a modicum of understanding as to the things a woman would say about her own fancy place or about sex? For example, I don't know a woman who would say such a thing as "when he finally stuck his dick in [it]" or "full of of gunk" about their fancy places, and I can't imagine Atticus does, either.

The whole discussion has been a bit lost on me because I can't remember any casual conversation, like, EVER that has involved me talking about my [fancy place]. I have no idea what I would call it were that to happen. It seems unlikely that it ever will though, so I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

In unrelated news, I'm finally reading Eat, Pray, Love. ABBA was right when she told me I would relate.

You've never discussed waxing, tiddying or quivering with any of your friends?

That sounds better than goat cheese, which I usually don't much care for.

I was thinking swiss, which is sharp and also melts so nicely.

I can't either, except that time that my mother and I were strolling on the beach and I alluded to having a not-so-fresh feeling. I didn't have to get any more specific.

I have probably mentioned this, but my f-i-l is an ob/gyn, and he wanted my help transferring photos from his camera to his laptop to make a slide show presentation (because compared to all others in the household, I'm a veritable IT nerd). I didn't realize what the photos were going to be of when I went to help him, but WHOA!! They were pictures of reconstructed fancy places!! (And I don't mean post-hurricane resort refurbishments.)

Nothing like trying to pretend like there's nothing awkward about looking at pictures of vaginas with your father-in-law.

that was my point, other than perhaps talking about yeast infections, and that seemed too crass for the joke.

i'd start annotating these posts, but that would make them all long

we had a cheese tasting party a few awhile ago. the cheese lady from our chic gourmet market came out and taught us about a half dozen cheeses. and we had wine too.

It was a really nice change, and made us seem very inventive compared to thes eothers with their wine tasting parties.

I was at a cheese tasting party once (years before Hank did so and thought himself inventive, of course), and things got a little ugly when I disclosed to a cheese-loving vegetarian some of the truths about rennet.

I sort of had a conversation about [fancy places] this weekend. At the marathon Expo (where you have to go to pick up your number), they have all manner of marathon souvenir clothing, other running crap, etc. I was looking for some shorts with my friend, and was eyeing some that have "boyshorts" as the underwear part of the shorts.

She advised me not to get them, as they "ride the middle".

And not in a good way.

Yes, women definitely need a euphemism for the/such as fancy place to talk about this, not only because yeast infections are a frequent topic of conversation, but also because otherwise a listener might think the infection was systemic rather than localized and wonder why her friend was there sharing a pumpkin spice latte with her, and not in the hospital. Think of the needless worry.

I read this as Jennifer's Joy Toy and thought that Zachary Zugg must be very bad indeed if he tried to break that particular toy.

Perhaps you and Icky Thump go to the same analyst? If not, maybe you both should?
