No, not like cookie dough. More like peanut butter that got into a fight with a gingerbread man and lost. The spice mix for speculoos is like a milder form of gingerbread. Kinda.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

[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.

Amyth, it's an investment, but I hope you love it. I would say as much as I do, but that might be unpossible.(It's probably good that you won't be running into Ray Cole's wake for a while.(I remember the save our show campaign where the head of programming, who had a myriad of issues and got fired said "Yes, I've heard from all 250 devoted Wire fans."(I hope he's had a lot of time to think better of that. Dick.) I was thinking that was skin stuff so I was like "People want their skin to smell like chocolate...rock on."

Interesting. I wonder if I go to TJ's, will they let me try it. I don't eat enough sweets to make it useful unless I'm making a batch of something. I'm the weirdo who has to throw out pints of ice cream because they get all gross and crystally because I eat it 2-3 spoonfuls at a time.

It is, surprisingly, not terribly sweet, particularly if you eat it like I usually do, which is to spread it thinly on toast.
I had wondered where the idea came from.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I actually find it too sweet. Not for an occasional bite but I donated the remainder of my container to my boss. I find a lot of things too sweet for anything but occasional eating.
Oddly, I do eat more sweet stuff as occasional things now because my boss also loves to bake (but not keep the results) and she's likely a full sugar baker. But she's good.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The TJs dark chocolate cookie butter candies are delicious, but I bet Calla's homemade ones put them to shame. Wow man, game changer.
I have been known to use the TJs butter, along with almond meal for a bit more protein, in those homemade energy bars that Kat linked to awhile back.

This. It was maddening trying to fall asleep when my count was so low. I wear earplugs and that just magnified the effect!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So I attacked the first closet, and threw out one heavy-duty garbage bag of trash. Could have been more, but we're not allowed to throw out electronics in NYC any more. I estimate that my apartment is now 10% decluttered. It's a start.

Way to go, Tom! Maybe I'll get motivated to do the same thing...tomorrow.
