Generally I will not eat a lot of meat, maybe once a month. But the wild game gentleman at the farmers market sold his product well, and here we are with guinea fowl.

It’s good karma when you are browning something on the stovetop and the moment you have to put on the loud fan to keep the smoke alarm from going off coincides with the moment that Spotifaj gives you the song you don’t really like.

The thing that people forget about enemies in war is that eventually you will have to negotiate peace with them. You can’t negotiate peace with your friends, it’s only your enemies you can do that with. So it matters whether your enemy thinks you are trustworthy and honourable.
