There is a company called Walker’s Snack Foods that makes a potato chip based on a type of Brunswick stew popular in British restaurants and some more… woodsy… U.S. states that contains the meat of gray squirrels.

Lena makes me watch America’s Next Top Model on Girl Day every week. I always try to find some reason to be entertained since the alternative is stuffing firecrackers under my eyelids and destroying my ability to be harmed by the show. Mostly.
