Jamie is typing, as Lisa is assisting Kristin on the other side of the island in our kitchen. They are making coconut curry chicken. This is a recipe from an unknown, Caribbean source. It is quite versatile, we have on occasion adapted it for other meats, particuarly goat, but are using it today it in oriiginal form.
Two hours ago, they took four pounds of cubed chicken, half of a diced medium white onion, a half cup of chopped fresh scallion, three cloves of minced garlic, three tablespoons of yellow curry powder, two tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, a tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro, some fresh thyme, salt and black pepper, and mixed them together in a big bowl.
They let it all sit in the icebox for a good solid hour. Then they heated the two tablespoons of vegetable oil, we use canola, in a medium skillet over medium heat, until it simmered. Then they left it on util they could really smell the mixture, say two more minutes. Then they added a thirteen ounce can of coconut milk. Increased the heat to medium to high, and cooked the mixture until the coconut milk was boiling, and the sauce was beginning to thicken.
It typically takes ten or fifteen minutes. Bringing everything to a rolling boil they covered the pot, and simmered it for half an hour, until the sauce really thickened into a gravy. We are eating it over rice, inside tonight because the mercury is at a hundred and there will be other days to be outside. We are trying something called "The Temptress" (love the name) an Imperial Milk Stout from Dallas.
Well, we are all showered and naked for dinner. Time permitting we will post an "after action report."

"Mama always said that life was like a box of chocolates..." that is what Forest Gump's mother said, we concur for a different reason. We each have a pretty good idea what sort of "treat" our lovers plan to give us when we are naked together. But it is always a special treat nonetheless.
Whether we are kissing our girl Lillian as she slips herself onto George's magnificent hardness... Continuing our tongue dance, as Punch joins in to gloriously DP her. Just as act one played itself out this night...
Or if it is having Eva eat me, as I take care of Kristin in the same way. Then having Punch join in to the festivities, buggering me nicely as both my girls sit on me...
Then having George swap places with Kristin so that i might be slowly spit roasted. Until i am very, very well satiated. Having my last lover, my very first girl help me to my feet. So that we might ravage Lillian as we watch George fuck Kristin and Punch fuck Eva.
Life can be a box of wonderful chocolates. Each bite a slightly different but equally delicious treat.

We were looking through the files on our computer, and posting a few old stories. Mostly ones that Lisa had written "elsewhere" with varying degrees of input and editing from Jamie. All had been rejected, although we think we just somehow got ourselves on a "naughty list," because we could have submitted "Green Eggs and Ham," and it would have been rejected. We had both read other stories over there that dealt with the same topics as ours (albeit with a bull shit "I knew I shouldn't have but I..."). They carried phony disclaimers and they earned red "H'"s. Now we AREN'T saying our prose was as worthy as theirs. But we didn't get rejected for syntax or adjective choice.
Mostly it was rejected as being "underage." But get real, where we lived 16 year-olds could get married (with parental consent). Romeo and Juliet were 13 and 14 (maybe not the best role models, but...). Alexander Hamilton was an Continental Army officer at 16, and as a captain led the siege of Quebec City at 18. His namesake Alexander of Macedonia led armies at 16. What "underage" had to do with thirty-year-old stewardesses wearing chastity belts is unclear to us.
Most of the chapters of Tableau that we submitted were "rejected." A little bit of "George, Michelle, Lydia and the track team" was slightly recycled into 'Philadelphia Texas'. Lillian's first time with Punch, and her first time with Eva were rejected in spite of a clear statement that we were adding to the beginning of each story that everyone in the story was 18. (16, 17, 18, someteen...) Stories about nipple rings and branding were rejected. As was a story about fulfilling God's "prime directive" (to be fruitful and multiply).
Essays on motherhood being the ultimate masochistic submission, and how we chose not to participate in the medical profession's treatment of being female as a disease were rejected. Those we half way understand why, (not that we agree, but storks deliver babies, we know). But, rejecting 'The Bobcat and San Angelo' simply said to us that we were "persona non grata."
We just checked, 592 "likes" a weighted average score of 4.34 on 64 stories. Six hot 'H"s... But "nobody is interested in your peculiar..."
"Yeah, right..."
We must not monetize well...
