Conan The Librarian, Et Al

Kieran and I often make culinary decisions by committee. It doesn't always work out well, but we're usually on the same wavelength. That became apparent while making dinner:

Emeric: What should we have for dinner?

Kieran: How about pasta.

Emeric: And what should we put on the pasta?

Kieran: Vodka Sauce.

Emeric: And what should we put in the Vodka Sauce?

Kieran: More Vodka.

Emeric:[As Nixon] Ah-rooo.

This isn't always the case, as when Kieran kindly attempted to minister to me while I was ill.

Kieran: Good news! I've fashioned you a poultice!

Emeric: [Groggily] Oh dear.

Kieran: It's made of the herbs and spices we have in the rack. Basil. Oregano. In fact, about half of it is just "Italian Spices."

Emeric: How is this different than an italian sauce?

Kieran: Fewer tomatoes.

Emeric: This is going to end with me in the bathtub dunking myself with the pasta sauce, isn't it?

Thankfully, it did not.
