I'm stealing moments here and there while the cooking proceeds. Right now the last of the bread is rising, and I am about to decide whether to buy more fennel for making soup. There's probably enough, if I use lots of the leaf, but if I want the more subtle flavor of the root, I need to swing out and buy three more or so (I bought it to make for supper yesterday, but too much was going on, which is fine because Maia wasn't hungry anyway, so I'll add it to the menu, this being a festal occasion, and we'll have a groaning board).
I wrote something a few months back about a news article, yesterday afternoon theree was a flurry of responses.
All of them anonymous, with no way to identify who they were, even by the loose standards I require.
I feel funny posting this, because it seems I am beating up on the defenseless, everyone who wrote anything got the same answer; and that slightly hostile.
To make it more intereting, the IP addy for the posts were all the same, but they were some 300 miles from the location of the event.
If it were me, one post, even with the slightly hostile/dismissive tone, would have been enough. Send to to the person who wrote the first piece, and then forget it. But eight, in the course of ten minutes? All the same, not actually addressing the content of anything more than the first post?
Makes me wonder just how much grief he's gotten that he's that prickly.
