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

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Too bad they didn't pronounce it correctly.

The dish set we have came with "dessert" bowls in addition to "salad" bowls. We tend to use the dessert bowl more than the salad bowls. I also prefer using the salad plates to the dinner plates. I do need to start measuring my portions because I'm sure my estimating is off.

I got a premixed batch of "Berbere Ethiopian" spices and added a teaspoon full, which made it quite noticeably spicy
Ooh, that sounds pretty neat--where did you get them? At some sort of specialty store, or Ethiopian market?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
If anyone wants real Berbere, I can get you some from Ethiopia, most likely. No idea on the cost though.

People in time zones behind me -- my city's mayor is on Undercover Boss tonight, and it was actually pretty entertaining. His first undercover job was with the dude who picks up roadkill. Hilarious!
I'm also sometimes surprised at how satisfying a proper portion of something can be.
This has been the surprise of the food log for me. Knowing the calorie count of a portion makes it more satisfying in odd, knowledge is power, sort of way.
I've gotten to the end of my calorie allotment in an evening and actually felt full...just because I know I've had all I need.
I'm tracking what I eat on MyPlate, and...knowing I've had all I need does not make me feel full. But I definitely appreciate the help it gives me to be mindful of what I'm choosing to eat, and it is actually a smack in the face to be reminded that, oh yeah, I can't just grab 3 cookies and expect it to not count.

This was a real jerk up for me too. My tendency to pick at little stuff make it feel as if not having a big meal was somehow more virtuous. Not so, turns out.
I logged my free day eating for today and discovered it totaled a full two days worth of calories. Ouch. Got to figure out how I can work that off in the next week.
Getting the new pedometer might help.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Fast one day and even it out? That's probably a bad idea. I don't know.

I'm also juuuuust obsessive enough to hate it when I eat somewhere like our corner bar, which is well-known for its burritos, which are as big as but WAY tastier than Chipotle's burritos -- but when I log my food, obviously MyPlate doesn't have "burrito from that bar in Cincinnati," so I try to approximate it with a Chipotle burrito, but I know it's not accurate. I just hope it's close and try to let it go. (Not very successfully, I might add.) But on the whole, it's helped me be a lot more mindful, which is what I wanted. I often still opt for the 3 cookies, but now I'm aware of what that means in my overall diet and nutritional balance.
