Is there not a chance I went to school with the guy that owns that side of the mountain?

Didn’t I go to uni with someone who discovered on visiting Inveraray Castle that they were in fact, a previously-thought-to-have-died-out part of the Campbell clan, and in fact, right at the top of the line to succeed to the Dukedom, until the current one started having kids?

I guess that makes him an Earl?

Do all Scots still dislike the Campbells because of Glencoe?

We’re getting over our filliative differences but didn’t I recently make friends with a work colleague based on my lineage linking me to Bothwell (James Hepburn)? And weren’t the in-jokes we both got based on some truly terrible, historical persecution?

(Although I don’t doubt some still hold a grudge, didn’t I hear many a pub-side conversation denouncing this or that clan when I was working the bars?)

One who is concerned about getting socialized medicine anywhere they live? One who enjoys Degrassi Junior High a little too much? One who doesn’t cringe when they hear “oout” or “aboout?”

Would anyone really want to creep around with Chuck Lorre in the bushes?

Oh she cringes at oot and aboout, as she has a Vancouver influenced by a lot of TV mild accent, but then she teases me for my Missourah accent so it evens out.
How long till I quit accidentally adding and R to my pronunciation of Washington?

(My metro-west Boston wife suddenly reverted to saying “draw” for “drawer” this winter. It was, as I said, sudden. A jarring. As if a draw was ajah.)

Awwww, dangit, how did I get a farking HEAD COLD?

But wasn’t it a good reason for making pantry soup (onions, potatoes, garlic, garbanzos, barley, and little wheat gluten dumplings, seasoned with parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme [no, I’m not kidding]) for supper?

Get yourself some vital wheat gluten.
Add water or broth to it.
Squish it together and pull it apart with your fingers until it’s kinda rubbery.
Pull pieces off your little dough ball and drop 'em in broth (or into your soup).
Boil around 20 minutes or so.
Eat and enjoy.

(You can also look up recipes for making seitan, if you want actual measurements. I usually just wing it.)

Ain’t that simple?
