Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Happy birthday, bonny!
My local pickle guy, on whom I have a crush, makes wasabi pickles. NOM.
I don't know whether to be more jealous of the fact that you have a pickle guy or of the wasabi pickle! YUM!

Happy birthday, bonny! And lots of surgery~ma to Strix!
My best tip for cutting down on sugar is to stop eating dessert for a week or so. (Or longer, if you want! But at least long enough so that you no longer CRAVE something sweet after dinner.)
Some good ways to distract yourself from craving dessert: Stuff yourself full of really good food at dinner. Meet up with friends and spend that time in good conversation. Get lost in a movie or a complicated game. Go for a long walk. Have sex. Do something that occupies (but doesn't frustrate) your mind and/or your body.

Seriously? Both.
The pickle guy is not quite as attractive as Peter Riegert in Crossing Delancey,(which I LOVE) but he is a good, good man.
The wasabi pickles are of the nom, no lie. He makes other varieties as well as a terrific giardinaria, stuffed olives and a very healthy sauerkraut.
Plus, he loves my dog.
Total win.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
happy birthday , bonny.
First tip - chose sugar deliberatly. Drop the fruit juice - o cut it with water. Stop eating foods that have sugar in them for no good reason ( why does peanut butter have sugar in it? eat natural peanut butter because it has no added sugar)
I like fruit cobblers . I up the spices like ginger , cinnamon, nutmeg and drop the sugar .I use very ripe fruit . it works.

So are you folks aiming for sugar per se or all carbs? Because I am blessed in not having a sweet tooth, but dear god, the salty-starchy cravings are insane. I look at the dessert trays at restaurants and think "You know, an inch-by-inch square of that chocolate cake would be all I want." To me, the ideal dessert would be garlic mashed potatoes with lots of cheese and butter.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Sugar for me, although I'm given to understand that carbs, especially grains, are DEATH. (The paleo thing is getting a little strident on my FB friends list.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
probably is: I like chocolate cake AND potatoes in just about any variety. I'm like Oprah in that way - and perhaps the only way.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I've never met a potato I didn't like.
But, you know, I eat things other than potatoes, so I'm not fussed about carbs being DEATH for me, because my diet is pretty varied.
