A Halla from Halla

Ever see Brighton Beach Memoirs? Tonight my father-in-law comes over, and cooks beef livers for dinner. Beef livers, rice, and lima beans. I tried. Really I did. The aftertaste is just too terrible to bear, though... it's odd, considering I can eat liverwurst. No scummy aftertaste there. Chicken livers - the last liver experience I had - were even worse, in terms of the "you are injesting poison" aftertaste that burns the back of your throat while eating. Beef livers aren't as bad, but the flavor - or, should I say, anti-flavor - is still present.

So, here I sit - feverish, coughing, working on a client's website, and starving.

Send food, please.
