This rice (yes there's rice under there) and dead cow concoction seemed to me to about as appetising to look at as Don Gately's hour-long boiled hotdogs must have been to injest. I need to find a way to make a nice pun or joke about that word in regards to the book's title. It's there; I can smell it - unlike Gately's meatloaf, thankfully. The description of Gately's earnestness regarding how the Ennet inmates would accept his cooking made me smile.

I think DG's turning out to be my favourite character.

I am now caught up and then some - to the August 17th milestone, in fact.
