What am I eating here...?

[desperance]

Tonight's tea will be mashed potato, carrot and turnip, fried up with onion, garlic and chilli, mixed with chunks of ham and shredded cabbage, topped with a fried egg. Comfort food to the max. But can I call it a hash, or is it more a variant on bubble-and-squeak? Or...?

I believe you should call it "darling!".

Surely the fried egg is canonical for hash? Unless you're having bibimbap, but that would have rice instead of mashed potatoes.

Also, I have finally managed to put my thoughts on Shelter into pixels, and posted them at Amazon and Librarything, where actual people who have not already read the book might read about it, as well as on my LJ. Thank you for sending me a copy.

Wow. Thank you for that. I had thought you might like it, but - well, I hadn't expected that degree of connection...

Dude, I had to put on a sweater to read it the second time through. It was entirely worth it, too.

Hee. Not only have you read the same book as shewhomust - unlike, it must be said, certain others who missed the point completely - you have also (both) read the book I meant to write. This is astonishingly gratifying.

Um, what's to miss? You'd have to really work at it (can I has extra points for not being pompous and using "pellucid"?)--but I suppose some people read for other reasons than finding out what the author wanted to tell them.

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Yup. Extra points always available for not using "pellucid" (it's a Roget's word, and I distrust it automatically).

But you'd be - well, not surprised, perhaps, but disappointed, by the number of people who say "Chaz, I read 'Shelter', but - well, can you tell me what happened...?"
