Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

You marmalade chuckers make me SAD.

I marry marmalade, but have frequent flings with jam.

Sometimes, I even do the jelly.

A canner just can't chuck this stuff, I fear.

I like currant jam on my sandwiches.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

All-girls school on Staten Island enacts rule that girls cannot attend prom without a male date. [link]

That's fucking ridiculous. Way to shame the shy girls, Interim Principal!

"Feralberry jam." Which is still my favorite name for a fruit spread.

Thanks!

Totally yummy!

Also, the inevitable question: chunky or creamy?

I used to be a chunky-or-nothing kind of gal. Then literally overnight, I started hating chunky (although I *will* eat it if there is no creamy to be had).

The best way that The Boy can keep me from stealing his PB and eating it (he takes 2 PB&Js to work every day, so his PB needs are not insignificant) is to buy that nasty lower-sugar PB. I won't go near that for love or money.

Apparently, tofu makes you gay.

Uh-oh. I was planning to have tofu for dinner. But I already ate some earlier this week, so does that mean eating more tofu will ungay me like Ranma 1/2 and water?

I want some feralberries.

Owen has ditched Olivia's capri pants and sweatshirt for the old Pooh Bear diaper cover (6-9 months). It barely covers his ass, as he is wearing it backwards, with Pooh's face and ears covering the crotch area.

I suppose I should be glad he's not wearing it on his head this time.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It only makes men gay. If you feed your baby sons soy formula, you'll make them gay! Because soy has t gasp estrogens!

Cooking beans without gas -- soak overnight (not the quick-soak), and rinse really really well. Or, just keep eating beans, and your body will adjust.

The kind with the fake sugar? Ick. I pretty much stick to the natural peanut butter, the kind with just peanuts and salt -- it's the kind I grew up with, and the Skippy stuff just tastes way too sweet to me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Adam's peanut butter FTW.

Dude. Even conspiracy theories are sexist.

Thanks, Cash!

Now, anyone know the answer for Indianapolis? (Travel time from airport to downtown, taxi, no luggage.)

I'm trying to plan some work trips without doing overnights. Why can't people schedule things for later in the day when they know people will be coming from out of town?

Can't you just picture packs of berries roaming through Susan's backyard, growling and baring their teeny pointed teeth?

that nasty lower-sugar PB.

Not fake sugar; just, like, 33% less sugar overall: [link]

It has a texture not unlike wallpaper paste, and a taste that makes me cry.
