A Sicilian woman I met during a Junior Year Abroad program in Italy shared a wonderful anti-hot measure: bread and honey, which I am guessing provides a mechanical scrub off of the tongue and mouth-parts. Works a treat.

For rijsttafel, Indonesians serve seroendeng as a side-dish, a combination of lightly roasted flaked coconut, peanuts, sugar and a touch of trassi or ground dried shrimp paste. The dish works as another mechanical scrub complimenting the variety of hot dishes on the table. (Including "killer egg" from the Dutch Worldcon.)

Crazy(ooh, but brave enough to try the flavored oil thing? So-o-o-o-o tempted!)Soph

TNH: Also, they should be universally mocked....

Avery: Mocked? People who do this sort of thing should be hung.

THN: Mockery is within our power at this moment.

And - mockery can go on for a really, really long time...

Huey Long, anybody?

I've found another possible term - "Dominionist." Only thing is, I can't duplicate the click-trail that led me to it (from The Sideshow? Body and Soul? Argh, darn these infernal browsing habits of mine...)

In trying to glean more detail from my memory, I also encountered "theocrat". I want to toss them both into this pot, and see how they fare. I'll leave a couple of links, and then better minds than my own can discern the best terms.

PS good job with the buttons - I kept thinking I was going to post, but kept hitting the preview button: well, at least I previewed my comment after each change!

I'll go for the biscuits (or cookies, to me) side of things - may I promote a local Irish thing called chocolate-covered Kimberlys? They are ginger biscuits, sandwiching a marshmellow filling. I think they sell a chocolate-free version, but you can understand if I don't manifest any interest in that. The true Kimberly is chocolate-covered.

Anyone not in this part of the world want to try some?

Crazy(about chocolate, considered apart from politics...)Soph

Apart from the fact that the minor background hum of most coffee shops helps get me into writing mode (w.m. with training wheels, maybe?), the thought - after the laughter at "coffee-shop writer with portable computer = poser looking for sex" - was:

Sex? Finish book? Sex? Finish book? Sex? Finish book? ... Finish book. Case closed.

Crazy(really! finish book! The "anything" commanded by the great editor! *wink*)Soph
