Does not make me think of jelly. Or rather, I guess it does because it makes me think how much I despise jelly...or jam...or preserves. What the heck's the difference anyways? Why not eat fruit whole and fresh? What's with grinding it up and adding sugar and syrupy crap? Or drying it out. I will never understand dried fruit. Oh good, now I chew on leathery fruit devoid of most nutrients. Excellent.
It's true that a fruit's nutrients often lie within the skin, so if you go skinless, you're not getting the full effect. Not that other things should not go skinless, like chicken, at least as a food. Skinless alive might be problematic. There are hairless things though...
Hairless dogs, rats, cats, guinea pigs...
They feel like velvet, which is NOT a flattering look on anyone unless she or he is under the age of six. Crushed velvet is reserved for those under the age of three and the early 90s trends.
Was crimped hair part of the early 90s? If not, then my father tortured me unnecessarily. Unnecessary---un meaning not, and necesse, or indispensable. Originally ne (not) plus cedere, meaning to go away or withdraw. Similar to the Spanish cerrar, to close, I guess. Or maybe I'm just connecting nonexistent threads.
There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colours gay.
She has heard a whisper say,
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,
And little other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott.
Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1832
The Lady of Shallot by John William Waterhouse, 1888
Oh the web she wove.
