Everything Eaten Yesterday

yum that looks good! thanks for posting the recipe

(do you think I could sneak in some celery? I've been groovin' on the celery lately)

I keep one M&M under the riser that holds my puter monitor at work. It's kind of like that cigarette in the glass case that used to be a popular gag gift. I know the M&M is there, I can have that bit of choco if I really want it, so I don't crave it the same way I would if I couldn't get at any choco.

The M&M has been there a few years now.

I'm not sure I could be so disciplined with a potato chip.

I'd rather forego potato chips for months, even a year at a time, than eat the flavored paper ones.. and then have a wild and crazy kettle chip day. (I have about ten months to wait on that one.)

Your ex-husband is Whitey Bulger?

had to look that one up....no, not him.

but, I probably made 8 thousand pounds of bulger for that man in the brief time we were married.

I have not made it since.

Got it. Well, at least he's not a fugitive from justice.

I'm sorry to hear that, chai2. At least you've discovered quinoa!

(Have you tried polenta?)
