There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They do usually have milk, no?

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

There's some particular kind of chocolate syrup that was common in Brooklyn they favored too.

Fox's U-Bet. And Jesse's right -- it also has milk.

It also works a lot better if you've got an old-fashioned seltzer bottle. It doesn't foam up right if you just pour the seltzer in.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You're doing it wrong.

I will not attempt to serve it to you. But using cream instead of milk is never wrong.

I do have an old fashioned seltzer bottle but I prefer to use the sodastream. Foams up fine either way.

Oh! I thought of you people yesterday when a coworker confessed to getting a chocolate bagel -- she said it went against her childhood rules, but as she put it, "My mother is a New York Jew, but I'm from Oregon!"

I did not tell her, "Eat a muffin, whitey!" but I thought it!

Our wings are not tired.

"Eat a muffin, whitey!"

It is something that pops into mind often when passing through the bakery. This is not a bad thing.

I am still at home and should be at the office. I am paralyzed by my list instead of actually dealing with it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This would explain why my brain is all "Man, what the hell is wrong with you, body?" and my body is all, "SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME HERE TO DIE."

shrift speaks for me. Pollen vortex. Fuck this planet.

Married to the grandson of a NYC soda jerk here, I can attest that Hil and Jesse have it right.

I ate a blueberry bagel last week at work, and I sternly told myself, "Eat a muffin, whitey!" But there were no muffins.

I have a big event at 10 and have reached the point in preparation where I go to the bathroom every 5 minutes because I am nervous. Sigh.

It will be great, flea!

I am in a lull at work, only because I think I need one. There is plenty to do! But I finished (god willing) a big thing yesterday, so now I'm moving slowly. I am glad to see that most of the things from my two-weeks-old to-do list are done, so I don't have much to re-write on the new list!
