Go, Lilty!! I suspect that you may find Lutherans in your sink.
Right there with you, Kathy!
Yeah, the holidays were a bitch. But, I'm getting my shit back together now and I'm feeling better. I didn't feel good eating the way I was over the holidays. Of course, that didn't stop me from doing it!
Good luck Lilty!
Seekrit message to Cass:
My bestest friend in the whole wide world is on the verge of a divorce. Paperwork is filled out, but hasn't been served to him. All the love and strength and healing on setting aside a painful chapter and opening a new and better one that I want so badly for her, I wish for you too. Everybody's hugged you so much, and I'll add to that, plus a shoulder. You've got my e girl, use it if you need it.
I have to get through the roomies, which have been in the sink for, and I shit you not, A MONTH.
Once when this happened in a multi-person household of which I was a part, we took the the offending person's dishes out of the sink and put them in a garbage bag. It was fun and effective!
Cass I'm so glad your scary thing has worked out for you. I had a lot of catching up to do here this morning so I don't think I managed to tell you but I've been wishing you strength and good news all day.
Jess: Chantico!
I just saw an ad for that in this month's Lucky. It looks like the sort of Starbucks drink that looks good on paper, but will in fact taste terrible.
I'm frightened of a drink that rich. Keep in mind that any beverage with Bailey's makes me want to hurl, so I may not be the one to judge.
People described it as "like drinking a melted truffle." Ooog. And look at the fat content!

Nope. I had one last night, and OMG!!1! it was good. Really, really good. And so rich that I actually couldn't finish it.
Holy crap!
"A six-ounce cup of Chantico contains 390 calories, 20g of fat and 50g of carbs."
So, no having one as an everyday treat. Curses! It was sooooo tasty.
Yes, but you like coffee that tastes like sugar. I want my coffee to taste like coffee. My chocolate likewise.
Chantico etymology:
CHANTICO: Domestic Goddess of the Home and Domestic Hearth Fires. Also has a neat sideline in volcanoes.
She's in charge of precious things, and is very protective of her treasures. Look but don't touch, okay? Put your worldly goods in her care for the ultimate in home security. A very comforting Goddess to have about the place.
But there's more to CHANTICO than that. With her red serpent accessories and crown of poisoned cactus spikes, she symbolises the combination of pleasure and pain. What does that tell you about Aztec domestic life?
One other thing. Don't mention the paprika. There was a ban on eating the stuff during a fast, but she just couldn't help herself. As punishment she was turned into a dog by TONACATECUHTLI the Food God. Perhaps that's why dogs like crouching beside the fire.
