Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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

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.

“Not dead yet!”

What is wrong with you Popeyes?

It's Southern? I mean, why have a biscuit when you can have it slathered with gravy and sausage or why have a plain waffle when you can have it with fried chicken and more gravy.

Excess, thy name is Southern cooking.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

No kind of sauce should go with Popeye's biscuits. They are perfection in themselves. Or they used to be, and if they've fucked them up, I will be grumpy.

Oh yes, I ate all the crispy fried skin with my chicken. I enjoyed the coating of butter that made my biscuit extra greasy and crunchy. I get that. But I really don't get adding sugar to honey. Isn't honey perfect as-is?.. oh wait, I think I do get it. Honey's expensive ain't it?

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

Or they used to be, and if they've fucked them up, I will be grumpy.

They haven't as of about a week ago. And no, nothing should go on the biscuits. I'm surprised they don't exude butter as it is.

OMG, I want Popeye's now.

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

My first day of classes went OK. I taught three recitation sections today. The first one was at 8, so I took a nap between the first and the second. All of them went fairly well.

Now I'm watching 90210.

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

OMG, I want Popeye's now.

ME TOO. We should make it a weekend plan.
