Validation on the fluoride front. ——- And in other news, I made my first sushi tonight. I cooked, seasoned, and cooled rice (I spread it out to cool in a cake pan) I cooked 1 cup of dry rice, therefore two cups cooked. On the onigiri-nori, I spread the rice, then three long slices of […]

A while back, Sars over at Tomato Nation wrote a nostalgic piece about being a giddy junior-high girl and the candies we all liked back in those days. Spree was the confection that had kicked off her train of nostalgia. Spree, as anyone between the ages of 25 and 35 may know, are these rather […]

In the course of browsing YouTube and Google Video for amusing videos, I watched quite a few of the chronicles of Morning Musume, including Ayaka’s Surprise English Lessons, a sketch in which Ayaka, a bilingual Musume member and leader of Coconuts Musume, would waylay the other girls in the studio with promises of treats if […]

No matter how tempting it may be, subsisting principally on citrus fruit is not a great idea. You will lose weight. You will have a stomach ache. Indeed, you will suffer a number of digestive complaints. AND, you will get enormous damn canker-sores in your mouth that will hurt so fucking bad you think you […]

Reasons why it sucked to have the back office to myself today: 1. I literally had to do everything. Any calls, I had to answer them, any requests for plans, I had to retrieve them, anybody needed supplies, I had to find them, any paperwork that came in, I had to file it. 2. I […]

I was coming back downstairs to my desk this morning, after collecting the day’s paperwork and my morning cup of coffee, and I realized that, “hmm, some plain chocolate M&Ms would taste really good.” Plain chocolate M&Ms are probably my favorite common, easy-to-find candy. The only problem is that they’re not that easy to find […]

I went to the grocery yesterday, as I usually do on a Saturday, and bought a bunch of fruit, since that tends to constitute a lot of the lunch and snacks I bring to work. I bought 6 Braeburn apples, because they’re my favorite, and I have almost never gotten a nasty one, which is […]

This is just to say… Munching a plum on the street… Apparently wcw liked plums. I do, too. They’re one of the few fruits you can get at the grocery that don’t seem to suffer too badly from having been picked before prime ripeness and shipped halfway across the country. Of course plums are best […]

I never seem to have one thing go wrong, I have a whole avalanche of “oh shit†descend upon me. Moreover the reverse applies. Today, I forgot my lunch, had no money on me, yet to my great delight and surprise, the boss decided today was the day to buy her crew pizza for lunch. […]

I have been as a ravening shrew lately. Okay, so I don’t literally eat more than my weight in food every day, but damn, I have been just a bottomless pit. I guess my metabolism is getting a little hyper from my regular bike-commute, or maybe it is all the coffee I have been drinking, […]
