I'm a lipstick socialist. Or something.

I've just discovered that my Smaller Half and I are unbearably snobbish members of the chattering classes.  I discovered this because I started ironically singing Mozart's 9th Symphony while we discussed quinoa (a food eaten by lefties, greenies, hippies, pinkos and vegans).  Here's how it went down:

Smaller Half

How much is 80 grams of quinoa?
 

PTR

I reckon about half a cup.
 

Smaller Half

I'll look it up in Stephanie Alexander. Do you think quinoa would be similar to semolina?
 

PTR

Yeah sure.
 

Smaller Half

Well, well! 80g is half a cup!

PTR

[Loudly sings melody from Ode To Joy in an triumphant reference to Peggle]
 

Smaller Half

Sigh.

PTR

[Continues singing]

Smaller Half

That's enough.

PTR

Aww.

Painful, I know.  But you really should watch that youtube video I linked to.  It's great.
