I Miss You- The Most Pornographic Entry (SFW)

Peanut gallery, where have you been?  I love you guys.  Without you this site is more awkward than hearing my own voicemail messages.  I understand that last week was Thanksgiving so, as you should have, you spent your time in the kitchen and with family, as opposed to around the terminal.  I'm fine with that.  But the week before?  And the week before that?  There was some pretty cool stuff.  Maybe I went a little over the top with the garam masala but the sweet potato risotto is a great dish- honest!  I plan to win you back, even if only temporarily.  I've reduced the site load time tenfold, made a cool new banner, introduced the video gallery, and put a poll up on the navigation pane.  Most importantly, I'm making something very delicious and very special to me.

One of the issues is that people are ordering salads to be healthy.  I am living proof that salads are in fact unhealthy- I maintain my 5% body fat figure by not ordering them.  Years ago it was really easy to do this, to not order salads, simply because they all sucked.  Chopped iceberg or a mesculin mix with a cliche dressing that was conceived hundreds of years ago is not enticing.  However as time goes on, and salads improve, the obesity epidemic increases.
