Celeste brought up the subject of flower-eating today. She says
she {read it in a magazee-ee-ee-eene, saw it on an "extreme cooking"
show}. I don't think that an "extreme cooking" show is the proper
venue for discussing the consumption of flowers. I'm picturing some
big burly guy with tatoos and a Karl Marx-style beard jumping into
the camera's field of view, slamming two ham-sized fists together,
and growling "AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO EAT SOME FLOWERS! THE
FIRST FLOWER WE'LL BE EATING IS THE GERANIUM!" It doesn't
work that way. It doesn't work, period.
