I'm trying to decide if I should bother taping the Daily Show and Colbert while I'm gone. I tried to figure out if the DVR will fill up or not, but not that hard.... Ridiculous.
Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just spent 15 minutes getting aggravated that my bra was poking me so badly and pissed that a pricy Nordie's bra is apparently already dying.
And then I remembered I stuck my credit card in there when I took the dog out. D'oh.
Hee, Brenda.
Brenda, I'm not laughing AT you; I'm laughing WITH Scrappy.
I'm kind of laughing at you. Only because it's the kind of thing I'd do myself.
Hey, someone else who uses her bra as a pocket!
Hmm. There is no room in my bra.
Food update:
had some jam at breakfast, but didn't finish it off. I did finish off the mixed cinnamon sugar.
Mac had a sandwich for lunch, so more mayo used. I had green bean casserole.
We are having hotdogs for dinner - we keep hot dogs in the freezer, so using some of the frozen goods.
I should really bake something tomorrow.
So, I've found a delicious fruit juice that uses no HFCS or extra sweetener or artificial sweetener, just fruit and vegetable juices and harmless/healthy additives (like gum acacia and DHA algal oil). And I wouldn't have known it if I hadn't been obsessively reading labels in the grocery store. Why aren't they advertising "No HFCS, no added sugar" on the label? Seems like that would be a smart marketing strategy.
It's Minute Maid's Pomegranate Blueberry "Help Nourish Your Brain" juice blend, which AFAIK is new. There's a whole lineup of new (at least to me) Minute Maid juices in the store, but only this one had no bad stuff added in.
I was looking for a fruit juice that I could add fizzy seltzer water to, that would have a similar "mouthfeel" to Mountain Dew and thus hopefully help me break that bad habit once and for all. I think the "thick" mouthfeel of Mt Dew comes from the brominated vegetable oil, of which they supposedly use only a little, but it is probably bad even so (it is banned as a food additive in Europe). This juice has a similar feel, of being substantial somehow, hard to describe, and it's probably because of the DHA algal oil and the soy lecithin.
I've never understood why Fresca doesn't advertise as being sugar-free, either. You'd think they'd consider that a selling point.
Yeah, it's not like Fresca is so butch that calling it "diet" would hurt the brand.
