Mar. 22: “You can’t make that Shiite up”

I have just a few points:

  • It’s a real thing and according to Darby, who is a proficient intertube user, it’s called “Kuku ye shevid obaqala” and it really is delicious and I am NOT a lima bean fan so I was surprised I liked it.
  • I do not know why Google won’t tell me “kuku ye shevid obaqala” is a real thing. Is it possible that Google just doesn’t index Chef Boy-ar-dee products? (Heh heh heh…)
  • That was a joke. I know Chef Boy-ar-dee only does Italian food.
  • Darby is right: no one would actually choose the name Jennifer Saltmarsh Manullang. I do prefer that over what he normally calls me, though, which is something closer to “Manullang-a-ding-dong”—and that’s just to my face. I know the names get much more profane when I’m not around.
  • My name may be odd, but I’m glad not to have a name that makes marketing companies question my gender and so, to be on the safe side, send feminine hygiene products to me all through college, DARA.
  • Happy Persian New Year or some such holiday!
  • That is all.

Oh, and muchas smoochas to that guy around the corner whose name I don’t know and whose blog I don’t read and who I’ll be waving at with one finger next time I see him.  :)

  1. Easy now Chicas....you need to fine tune your sarcasm detector, LOL. BTW, I was named after a famous Persian king(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_I_of_Persia). Dara is just a derivative of it. I blame receiving the feminine hygiene products while at college to post modern maternalistic hegemony instituted by female corporate overlords to "keep the man down". My name, in essence, is speaking truth to power. So deal with it. Also, I'll be bring over some Kuku later around 5pm. You'll be home?

    Um, I've never heard the term "hegemony" before. Stop with the making up of words! :)

    We'll be home at 5. Yay!
