A professor just asked me in an email what I do "in real life." I assumed he meant for work, but... heh.

Real life is what we do when we're not kravving or thinking about krav. I'm not sure what it could possibly be for non-kravvers.

IRL I am a SUPERSTAR!

ION today is going decently but not great wrt my stupidhead moodiness. I think I am going for ice cream soon though to try to snap me out of it.

Remember, it's dollar scoop day at Baskin Robins, msbelle.

I think I'll go have the turkey lunch at Marie Callendar's. I just need to remember to have the turkey lunch. I go there with that intent, get distracted, and end up with something salt-ridden, not tasty, and expensive.

If you're cooking it yourself, add raisins to it while it cooks. They get nice and plump and moist that way. I also usually add some maple (I have a jar of maple sugar chunks that I got ages ago at Whole Foods).

Not cooking it myself. Buying it from the cafeteria. Though I suppose that will have to change when I have to change my duties.

Butter and salt on oatmeal is better than butter and honey.

I can't imagine eating non-sweetened oatmeal. I grew up eating it with brown sugar and cinnamon.

That would drive me batshit, Kalshane, not being able to eat at my desk.

We can apparently eat snacks at our desks, but meals and such have to be eaten in the lunch room. It supposedly to keep the building clean, but snacks make messes too, so whatever.

Just tell them you ate breakfast at home, and the oatmeal is a snack. That should do it, no?

They had paczis here at the office cafeteria, but I ddn't get one (they didn't really look all that good). Traditional flavors are rosehip and prune, but some of the bigger Polish bakeries have a much wider variety available. They're lighter than the usual jelly-filled doughnut.

I'm trying to call some of the Polish bakeries north of my apartment to see if they carry paczkis throughout the year, and nobody's answering their phones. Must be busy today.

The salt doesn't make it salty or any less sweet. It just makes it... better and taste more like itself. Like adding a pinch of salt to chocolate when cooking it, or when baking. I can totally tell when Tom forgets to add salt to our oatmeal (we eat it sweet). It tastes hella bland. When he remembers, it just tastes right. Not salty or savory.
