There's a simple test to see if it's still good, if I can remember it or find it again...
Add some to some vinegar?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
baking soda loses potency with age (insert joke here). Easy enough to check: just mix a teeny bit with a little vinegar. if it does a volcano impression, there's nothing wrong with the baking soda.

Add some to some vinegar?
Yeah, that's it. Too simple for me to remember.
That sounds delicious, sarameg. I've had a mild craving for cake donuts for a couple of days now and I don't know where to find any to buy or how to make them. Alas.

Wasn't what I was expecting, but it works. Can't really taste the scotch unless you know it is in there because the cocoa is so strong, you wouldn't realize the slight smokiness is from the scotch.
Loki's decided something fascinating lives in one of the speakers. He really wants to take the fabric off the front. He's so noodgey tonight and it is too damned cold to take him for a walk (he wouldn't go, anyway. He lasted on the deck for about 10 seconds before wanting in.)

I had a craving for Milano cookies. So I actually left the house and went to Target. On a Sunday. I think I grossly overestimated both my energy and my health.
Now I'm back in indoor pants and a sweater. I hate being sick during gorgeous weather.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's nice out? Ah, well.
Sorry to hear you're under the weather (NPI), Kat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Fuck. The only cough suppressant I have is nighttime formula, and I was going to say up for Downton Abbey, but now I'm thinking I'll just take it now and go to bed. But I don't feel that sick! I wish I had gone to the drug store today.

I think I did something wrong today. I put on outside clothes but never went outside.
I'm really hoping my ick has finally departed. I feel better but I haven't tried to do karate or anything that takes some energy and stamina.

Because books.

This was me, but with Walmart. It's enough to degrade your faith in humanity by several (dozens of) degrees.
And the one thing I initially left the house for was the one thing I forgot.
