Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Jen, our family is in CA, FL, CO, and DC. Plus one aunt and cousin are in Germany.

She is adorable Allyson. Hijack away!

Yeah, Suzi, if we extended it out to our second cousins and families, it'd be more like yours is spread, but since it's only two brothers... it's pretty contained. Well, no, actually probably out to Ohio and up to Main area. And I've actually met a lot of the second cousins, and they are awesome, but... yeah, we haven't gone all out.

But I still think you are right! Keep on your dad!

Allyson, that is awesome. She looks fierce!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I totally had a WW outfit when I was that age.

Who was talking about HFCS in their store bought something-salad the other day? Yeah. Harris Teeter egg salad has sugar in it. I just don't even know. Sugar. In egg salad. On the other hand, their pork roast is delicious. It probably has sugar in it, too. But it's good!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The sushi place on campus has HFCS mixed into the rice.

Doesn't sushi rice typically have sugar in it?

Isn't sushi rice traditionally seasoned with a sweetened vinegar and a little salt?

I mean, I'd prefer sugar. But I'm not surprised it's got something.

Oops, I forgot the S.

Into the plain rice that you can just eat with your meal? Or in the rice they use to make the sushi? And even then, why not just sugar?

But really, why all the sweetening? It's like some dark conspiracy wherein we area all getting extra, useless, yucky tasting in the case of sugared egg salad, calories to fatten us up for the slaughter. Or perhaps I'm overreacting slightly to my disappointment in the egg salad, which is one of my favorite comfort foods. Either way, sugar wrong.

ETA: sushi rice sugar x-post!

Sushi x-post. I suppose that is inevitable with us.

I don't like the idea of sweetened egg salad. I also don't like the idea of celery in it because I hate celery. Not that it's the topic of discussion, I just hate celery.
