Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

For real. I was actually surprised to hear that the Double Down had less than 600 calories considering it is DISCUSSED LIKE PEOPLE WILL START USING TROUGHS as a next step.

I think it's more the cholesterol implications of two pieces of fried chicken, bacon, and cheese that are horrifying. But yeah, calorie-wise that's maybe a little less than a third of the average person's daily recommended intake, and I'd imagine the combo would be pretty effective at killing the hunger to eat anything else in that sitting.

I have, on occasion, wondered if I could make a Cheeto from the ingredients in my kitchen.

I would have devoured Cheetos and regretted it later, for such is the nature of the Cheeto. I compromised by making a wee sandwich with melted muenster and deli meat on a multigrain English muffin with a bit of garlic aioli.

It's OK to eat stuff! I validate you.

Yaaaay!

(I need to teleport down to Portland RIGHT NOW so I can go to Genie's and have chocolate chip pancakes and a bacon Bloody Mary. That would make my day so much better.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I fail to understand Cheeto regret. Unless it's orange fingers. And chopsticks fixes that little issue.

This is why I can't buy Cheetos.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now I'm thinking about the leftover pasta I'm going to have for dinner (tomato-cream sauce with shrimp) and wondering if heating it up in the microwave will ruin it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm sorry! I didn't mean for that to come off as me assigning morals to food. I am really sorry that it came off that way!

And like ita - have eaten cheesecake for breakfast. It's basically a fruit and yogurt parfait in a spring-form pan.

And what a strange, small world I live in. [link]

The case is against my former boss and is being reassigned to my law prof from this past semester. Craziness.

We were talking about the pancake stackers at work yesterday. It's not the calories or nutrition or whatever that bother me. It just sounds and looks yucky. And if I find the promotional pic a bit stomach-turning, I imagine the reality would be even less pleasant. Two pancakes with a filling of sweetened cream cheese that appears to have been squeezed out of a tube? Oog. I like pancakes, and I like cream cheese. I have never wanted to combine them.

It's not a sandwich to me, in the sense that I couldn't hold it to eat -- I've have to use a knife and fork.
