lunch whinging

Why on earth would someone ruin a perfectly good roasted and stuffed pumpkin by putting gorgonzola in it? That'll teach me to ask for ingredients next time when it's not obvious rather than just thinking "oooh, that looks yummy!" And no, self, leftover Halloween candy is not an appropriate substitution for actual food, so don't even think about it; go get a salad.
