That reminds me of one my favorite bits from Daria, when she's babysitting a couple of twins, whom she offers sugary cereal or something. To which they respond:
"Sugar is bad."
"Sugar rots your teeth."
"Sugar makes you hyper."
"Hitler ate sugar."
River: They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see the sky and they remember what they are. Mal: Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?

Timelies all!
Hugs and ~ma to those who want/need them.
I managed to catch my pinky between the chair and my computer desk yesterday. Oh, joy, more bruises.

sweaty sweaty hot mess. I want to blast the air and pack like a fiend, but mac needs some attention. Last day with both mental health professionals is a lot and I expect he will have a break at some point tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
All I did was get home from work, and I am a sweaty mess. Oy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
All I did was get home from work, and I am a sweaty mess. Oy.
I'm sure that'll happen to me too, as it's 90 here and I'm riding my bike home....

Yeah, my little walk plus the stairs were enough. Luckily, I have a cold dinner already prepared! Potato and green bean salad w/ bacon.

I was watching this week's Cooks Country Kitchen, and they had a recipe for potato salad that looked easy and tasty. They used only Yukon Gold potatoes, and after draining them, they spread mustard and pickle juice over them before chilling the potato chunks for 30 minutes. They mixed together pickles, red onions, celery, and salt, pepper, and dried thyme with mayo and sour cream before adding the flavored potatoes into the mix. Then you can add (optional) hard-boiled eggs, although not until just before serving.
They even answered viewers' concerns over leaving potato salad out at a picnic--the mayo doesn't turn, but the potatoes can go rancid relatively quickly.

I think Greek yogurt also has less sugar than the regular stuff. Mostly I buy it because I'm lazy.

Cook's Country/Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen drives me nut with their potato salads! They have one from each publication (possibly more) called "All-American Potato Salad," each with slightly different ingredients and a long screed on why potato X is the only potato worthy of being used in a potato salad. Except they each use different potatoes! Argh!

This episode said that Yukon Golds were good because they held their shape and had more flavor than either reds or russets, which is why they were better for potato salad in particular.
