Whew, I left my badge at work, apparently; it was on my desk when I got in (thanks to one of my co-workers I only ever see in the parking lot, hooray for nodding acquaintances!)
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I had a McGriddle for breakfast. Those have maple syrup in them. Or maybe "maple" flavor.
I have work to do and zero motivation.
I started the process of rolling over my old-job retirement plan and paid a couple of bills, which seems like more than enough to have accomplished today. I kind of want to go to Target as well, but we'll see.
I talked to him about it a few days ago, and he says he's dropped his cholesterol by 40 points since Sept. 1. He's following a 10% total fat diet.
Wow. I mean, assuming he had a cholesterol problem, that does seem really effective! But also miserable.
I'm actually not too enamored of maple flavor.
How can this be? Maple is my one true flavor. I mean, after cheese and salt. Then maple.
I think I may make maple caramels today.
Mmm, maple.
Today I need to make bread. And maybe I'll do a double-batch and do sticky rolls as well. Sticky rolls are a good way to start the year, yeah?
Here's a funny story about a little company getting stomped on by Starbucks and making it a marketing opportunity: [link]
We are in Dallas for the day, and spending NYE with the DH's 92 year old first cousin twice removed. We fly home tomorrow, and I am so looking forward to a few days there before going back to work on Monday.
Now I want something made with maple, cheese and salt. That sounds delicious.
Sticky rolls are definitely a good way to start the year! I don't think I have any black-eyed peas or cabbage in the house. I'll need to double check the cans when I get home.
This is freaky. He got so much right!
We never make black-eyed peas and ham. Maybe this is part of our problem.
Catching up here...
I am on hold with my dentist, waiting to get an appointment so I can find out why a sharp piece of BONE is now sticking out of my gum. No, I haven't been punched in the face lately.
Dana, you are tougher than I am. I'd be in my dentists' office softly weeping until they saw me.
