How can I not have a gaming-related icon?

Some of you may have heard of author, game engineer, party host, sex kitten, blogger, karaoke artist, and Dark Horse Comics supervillain Jess Hartley, perhaps even from me.

However, what you may not have heard is that her gamer advice column, One Geek to Another, was nominated for an ENnie. Other projects she's worked on are also nominated, including Haunted Tales of Pinebox Texas, Geist: The Sin Eaters, and Goblin Market, but this is the first time she's been nominated for something that's all hers.

Me, personally, I think I'm going to wander down to the web page there and vote for the product I think is best in each category. I would invite you to do the same.

The Postening II: Wrath of Collard

We have farmshare. As part of that farmshare, currently we have a metric assload (dunno what that measures out to in your funky American ways) of leafy greens. Lettuces are easy, even if it seems impossible to get *all* the sandy dirt off the leaves.
We also have: chard, collard greens, turnip greens, beet greens....
I think that's everything. Perhaps foodies can advize me on whether greens such as the above can, more or less, be swapped in and out of recipes that we find.

My foot looks like vienna sausages on a hairy water balloon. This does not make me best pleased.
