How the hell do you stir through a closed lid?

All part of the learning experience :-) The Feegle pestered me to buy
him a Bubblegum flavoured ice lolly (Popsicle). I think he had two licks
then it went in the bin. I think the second lick was only because he
couldn't believe how nasty the first lick was.

Fork off.
It is racist, sexist and so anti-PC that if you don't know it. It is to 
your credit.

So take your turn.

LOL, that does seem like it would be a problem.

My favorite preparations are either just black pepper, or a mix of cajun 
spices, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. :)

Ewww.  That's going to haunt me the rest of the afternoon.

Or indeed, a knife and a spoon.  A full set would be good. ;)

Now those sound most palatable. I shall definitely try them out.

I, too, was woken up about then; in my case it was the thunder that did
it. Neither the Kat nor the Feegle twitched at all. Weird, I was the one
who slept through the 'hurricane' of 1987 even though a falling tree
smashed my ground floor windows.

This morning the Kat took the adults' umbrella, the Feegle took his own
little Minions umbrella and yours truly got soaked taking the F to school

The trick is to find cajun spices that are sodium-free.  I find that salt 
in cajun spice mixes ruins the flavour.

(it's also bad for my hypertension, if it comes to that ;) )

I started with black pepper years ago - a coworker of mine had done that, 
and I thought it was weird, until she said "well, you put black pepper on 
corn on the cob, don't you?" - so I tried it. :)

Man, everyone woke up around 4 AM today.  One of our cats came into the 
bedroom and threw up under the bed, waking both of us up.

Thanks for that, just as I'm about to go to bed. I shall now dream of
giant felines vomiting just under my virtuous couch.

BASTARD! ;-)
