meat and meme

this is fucking incredible. w, who is notoriously hard to please, called it "fantastic." this is the first unqualified compliment that i have ever gotten from him about a meal. he was like "dude, you bought a new piece of equipment to make this meal! it was epic!" awwwww. what a sweetie. usually, he's all "it's good. what?!? what do you want me to say?!? it's good, not phenomenal!" we're both sitting here in the living room, pants unbuttoned, too lazy to even speak to one another (we're IMing, and i'm actually close enough to spit on him at the moment).
