I just made Pioneer Woman's chocolate sheet cake. OMFG.

Really? I've been thinking about making it. Was it relatively easy?

I make her apple dumplings for parties all the time, and they make people swoon and propose marriage to me.

Ridiculously easy. I did it with Owen and Olivia "helping.'

Hmmm. I should make it for my chocolate fiend boyfriend.

AFTER we finish all the Christmas cookies.

I, OTOH, (re)started weight watchers today. Which is maybe less about weight than a general "get your shit together already" effort. Though, you know, there's the weight aspect too.

One thing I'd forgotten about this whole thing is how quickly the food obsession takes hold. Not hunger - it's really not so much "oh my god need to eat" as it is constantly thinking about and planning out what I will eat and when and what I can make and what I need to buy and how many points I have and on and on and on. As I recall this passes after a while and it all becomes more instinctual, thank dog.

Right now, it's stressing me out the online calculator for the recipe I just made is giving me way low points and it feels wrong. But I guess that's also what happens when you cook with tons of veggies and almost no oil or cheese, rather than the opposite. Who knew?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't use Twitter, so I can't tell - is this a good, bad or funny idea?

Washing machine sends messages to Twitter when the clothes are done...

Under a picture of Saturn's moon Mimas, it says

Aside from one crater, everything on the moon is named after people and places in the legend of King Arthur or the Greek legends of the Titans.

Another blog says that one crater is named "Phil."

I want to make that sheet cake. nom nom nom.

So we took N and my mom out to dinner at Oinkster. The last time we went, sarameg was with us. They serve their fries with a really yummy garlic sauce. That time, N watched us all dipping fries and he wanted to try.

Tonight he ate an entire container of the garlic sauce by dipping his fry and putting it in his mouth to lick off the sauce. Repeat (he double dipped in his own container). He also ate some of the pulled pork and the hamburger and drank more than my share of the milkshake.

I wonder if his little tummy will be upset tomorrow?
