Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

{{{Erin}}} All kinds of job~ma to you.

{{{Scrappy}}} I hope the eval doesn't go as badly as you think.

My school lost 20 teachers at the end of last year

Holy smokes. How many teachers does your school have? We lost 2 at the end of last year. We have 44 teachers on staff.

I'm still at school. I'm done with work, but it's raining like Gustav made his way up here and I'm trying to wait it out till I run out to my car.

GC, we're not trying yet, but I have in increased risk of having a child with spina bifida. So, I really need to be on it in case there is an oops with the birth control.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Major cutiehead Evan, and Auntie Ali's looking good too!

Compassionately intolerant

For serious! Casper is my OTK!

Calli, here you go:
1 1/2 cup walnuts, finely ground(I use raw cashew bits instead and I like them much better)
10 pitted dates
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 vanilla (I use a splash more) 2 tsp water

Mix ingredients in a food processor, adding the liquid last. Mold and chill.

I add a half handful of crystallized ginger, which makes me very happy.

There are SO many variations possible. I did one with almonds that tasted good but was a bit too gritty.

It IS a healthy recipe and a diabetic friend, who really enjoyed the treat, pointed out that the ingredients are very similar to a Lara bar.

I find having just a wee sliver really, really satisfying. Plus, including the time it takes to get stuff out of the cupboard, prep time is roughly 3 minutes! A great recipe to have in the event of unexpected guests. And, you can make interesting shapes with it...your very own tasty, healthy cakewreck.

I generally make a half recipe

“Not dead yet!”

Askye, your nephew is a cutiepie!

Oh, definitely this! You weren't kidding about how alert he is-- and the picture with Emma killed me ded.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Thanks, bonny fides. That looks delicious. And I think I can get all of the ingredients at the local hippie grocery's bulk bins, which makes me happy for reasons I don't fully understand, but I'll take joy where I can get it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

in ridiculously bad for you food news I just noticed that the packet that came with my Popeyes bicuit said "honey sauce ". Sauce? I thought, what do you put in honey sauce? So I peeked at the ingredients. HMOG you put every different type of sugar you can think of. What is wrong with you Popeyes? Why can't you just put honey in a packet? One ingredient, bam! you're done. And it never spoils. Sheesh to the nth degree.
