this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

the chocolate (or other flavor milk) was, a la Tep, to get us to drink it.

What I *loved* about chocolate Quik back in the day (the time period is key*) is that it didn't dissolve very well and there were lumps of slightly damp Quik on the top of the milk (which were NOT at all the same as the totally dry Quik out of the can), which I would scoop off the top of the milk with the mixin' spoon and eat. And then mix in more Quik, since what I skimmed hadn't made it into the milk, so the milk wasn't chocolate enough, and of course mixing more in produced more lumps which I skimmed off the top, and and and.

I have always been a sugar monster.

But there are tons of things I am indifferent too. And aren't really worth eating from a satisfaction level.

This. I still owe Teppy a write-up, but learning to pay attention to this has been so key.

I really am looking forward to it very very much. Because my eating is not what I want it to be (and I don't even mean sugar -- or, at least, not JUST sugar), but I feel like I can't get a handle on it.

*(And the reason the time period -- back in the day -- is key with the Quik lumps is that they changed their formulation in the 90s some time, and now it all dissolves immediately. And yes, I know this because I got Quik at some point in my 30s and was sorely disappointed in the lack of lumps. So now we have Hershey's syrup in the fridge for making chocolate milk. Though mostly The Boy has put it on ice cream and waffles and, once, a bagel. Seriously.)

oooh, rough. I'm going to have to go with Hardison because he hasn't been caught.

I've definitely altered my dietary habits since last year. I make myself eat breakfast (usually greek yogurt), I've cut out most processed foods, and I load up on the fresh fruit and veg. Switched to soy milk. Eat more nuts, grains, and fish. I only eat fast food a couple times a year when I'm traveling.

I still have issues with portion size and my lust for salty goodness.

Because books.

I don't know who the other one is, so I have to say Hardison, Perkins. Which is just fine with me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mmm. I'm going to have to go with Hardison too, but they'd be cute together. I call for crossover!

Juliana, the steampunky place is Chop Bar, in the warehouse district adjacent to Jack London Square. It's not very steampunky, but they had these awesome candleholders on the bar and art on the walls that were all found object/steampunkish. And they have Racer 5 on tap, which automatically makes me like it.

This would be awesome. Maybe a crossover vid to Make a circuit to me.

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?

chocolate milk, white bread, dessert after dinner, soda. Everyday food or treat food when you were a kid?

White bread was our default, and we usually had a dessert every night. Choc milk and pop were treats.

I'm going to have to go with Hardison too, but they'd be cute together. I call for crossover!

Last week, a friend and I wrote a musical that includes two techie types from competing intelligence agencies falling in love and running away together. I totally based the female character off of Garcia.
