Too funny Jesse. When I was a kid too much candy gave me a searing headache. Now I'm clever enough not to eat TOO much.

Speaking of, we have brownies, we have ice cream, we have fresh whipped cream (I got a whipped cream dispenser for Xmas). I am very much pondering the possibility of dessert.

Unfortunately "too much" is rarely defined as equal to "how much I want." Maybe it's how much I want - one, but that's a hard one to figure out in situ.

I don't think my problem is dairy. I think it's wheat. I'm in denial about that though as I WILL make a red velvet cake for new years.

I puked pretty regularly the first night of vacation and Christmas night as a child. But that's because we never had candy/cookies/soda in the house!

Parents: Do not deprive your children in this way! It will only lead to pukey childen on holidays!!

t insert something about our house being the opposite of Jesse's except for the soda. This week alone we have had milkshakes, cookies of multiple varieties, maple oat scones (as well as steamed veggies, grilled chicken and brown rice).

Do you ever type a post and realize, "no one cares" and then delete it? That is me right now. I might blame the Darvocet, Flexeril combo though.

I do that, but only have my natural brain chemistry to blame.

For example, instead of going to bed like a sane person, danced around my front room to Lily Allen, Carbonleaf and JEM. Because I could.

Being sane now, g'night.

All the time. I'm so neurotic I usually delete it before I post.

WRT to the wheat, I find that I am happier with whole grains than with highly refined flours. The refined ones can clog my system a bit, DH's too. But I would cry if I had to cut out wheat entirely.

I totally do that.

This link has two awesome videos.

1st video is of a 20-story trebuchet that flings flaming pianos and a compact car.

2nd one is Cherpumple: The Franken-Kaiju Pie-Cake From Hell (Both videos at this link)

What they're comparing this next invention to is a turducken. The dessert equivalent thereof. Well, this guy--Charles Phoenix--is like our friend from across the pond with a trebuchet: thinking big. Big and ludicrous. And we respect that.

I totally do that.

Half the time anymore I just write the post in my head.

Back from Christmas travels. Twelve hours in the car today, all told, but now at least I HAVE MY OWN BED.

OK, seriously, is this like the worst xkcd ever? [link]
