[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
OK, I have a problem with the Whole Foods sucralose page. Here is argument #3 against it:
Sucralose is a chlorinated compound. Other classes of chlorinated molecules include pesticides.
Uhhh... that's an argument? Makes as much sense as:
"Sucralose contains carbon. Other things that contain carbon include George W. Bush."
Whole Foods doesn't use this argument in their actual statement for why they're not carrying it, but man, this is a specious statement.
Soda discovery: Hansen's makes soda that's sweetened with cane sugar and has all-natural ingredients, and it's available at my local Stop-N-Shop. Whee.
Hansen's rules. I spent a summer OD'ing on Hansen's grapefruit soda. Then I discovered Blue Sky when I went to school in Boulder.
And Allyson, this sweater might be great with your swing skirt. The longer length on your hips will give you a little bit more in height.
Trudy says that if you can find Coke that's specifically Kosher for Passover, it's made with sugar, not HFCS.
I think they changed that last year. Or, at least, I vaguely remember hearing something about them changing it.
Also, on the subject of sugar, Stoneyfield Farms yogurt (fat-free and delicious) is made with "milled sugar" and they are very specific about using only natural organic ingredients. Their yogurt also contains more different kinds of live cultures than any other yogurt, which is good for you.
Where's my kickback, Stoneyfield??
I haven't seen the Kosher for Passover Coke in a few years.
Or, if you want, I can send you the black crushed velvet jacket that I forgot to take to the gothy yard sale, and you can wear it with your swing skirt.
Holy carp! Really?
Holy carp! Really?
Yeppers. It's a size 14/16, about mid-thigh length, and has princess seams so it's not boxy.
Allyson, the jacket looks pretty much like this, but in crushed velvet.
From WAAAAAY earlier this morning, re: the silverware discussion....
I agree, in a dish rack, sharp knives go point down, everything else (including butter knives) goes business end up, to protect it from nastiness at the bottom of the silverware cup-thing.
In a dishwasher, everything goes point down, so that people don't fondle the good end, but also -- if you keep only like silverware with like silverware in the little dividers in the dishwasher silverware rack? It makes unloading them really easy, as you just grab everything in a single area (they are all the same now) by their handles, lift them out, and deposit them in the silverware drawer in their proper slot.
