On Two Early Poems By Odd Future's Earl Sweatshirt

@Virginia Purvis@facebook The cat got chased off the mat by a freaking rat and was so scared it never returned. What is wrong with you? Since when did the rat sit (or sleep) on the rat. Disturbing.

On How To Make Veggie And Chicken Stock

Use those giblets woman. They'll add so much flavour to the stock - that's why someone's bagged them up for you and put in the convenient poultry purse.

Except the liver, which you should not put in your stick as it will make it bitter. So, fry it in butter with a bit of sherry and eat on toast, like a louche European.

On Epic Poem Pick For The Super Bowl

There was a young bard from Japan
Whose limericks never would scan.
When asked why it was,
He replied "It's because
I always try to fit as many words into the last line as I possibly can".

On Soul Food: Cookbooks As Literature

Can we have a quick shout out to Edouard de Pomiane, author of the highly practical 1930 book "Cooking in 10 minutes"? All the recipes are designed for people with limited time, for "the student, for the midinette, for the clerk, for the artist, for lazy people, poets, men of action, dreamers and scientists, for everyone who only has an hour for lunch or dinner and yet wants half an hour of peace to watch the smoke of a cigarette whilst they sip a cup of coffee which has not even time to get cold".
