Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

the boy has been warned off the white food

How white is white? (Oh, and why?) I've never made wholewheat anything with just wholewheat flour--up to half and half, because it's much heavier. So I was wondering what the tipping point would be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I don't know how white is white. It's because he's diabetic and trying to control it with diet, so I assume it's a carb issue, but really, is regular whole wheat bread that much less carb-y than white bread? Not sure.

OK, found a carb counter online, and it looks like a marginal difference if any. [link] Of course, I am neither his doctor nor his mother, so.

Which is good--think of the ethical issues.

That link reminded me I need to make oatmeal bread again too. Maybe not this week, though.

"I can't operate -- that's my son!"

How is this possible?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Will someone come do my laundry for me?

I only have 20 loads worth or so...

Mostly lurking...

vw, it's a modification of a recipe that came with my Kitchenaid--replace a cup of the flour with whole wheat, and the oil with peanut oil. It's much better. Gives it a taste, without overwhelming the topping.

Cool! Thanks! I might have to try that...

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I am catching up on GA thanks to Kat and Lori, and will soon be able to fearlessly highlight the whitefont. Whoot!
