If Splenda is allowed, I think I could do that.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
A friend has made my apple crisp recipe with Splenda, and says it's pretty good. It's only about 1/3 of a cup of sugar, so subbing Splenda for sugar in that recipe probably isn't a big deal.
Related to sugar 100%: at Tim's nephew's graduation party yesterday, they had a COTTON CANDY MACHINE! And we all stood around it, fascinated, and watched it make cotton candy like we were watching TV. I only had one cone of cotton candy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cotton candy is magic.

Coworkers remarked on the healthiness of the small Greek salad I was bringing back to my desk. I told them it was better than faceplanting a bag of potato chips. They were all, "Ha ha, I don't know how you find the willpower!"
Ho ho, I don't know? The same place I find the willpower not to fling what I'm carrying at your faces and run screaming from the elevator? Because the other options are things like unemployability and death?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Not much going on here, other than me trying not to panic that it's less than two weeks until Contata, where I am Listener Guest of Honor. I know what I need to do, I'm just being a bit of a slacker.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
assuming sugar is vegan
maybe/kinda/sometimes. A lot of the white sugar that you buy in the US is processed using animal bones. Not all brands, though. There's a list somewhere of which brands do and which don't, but I don't really buy enough white sugar to know. The kind that's a little bit off-white or tan, rather than totally white, is vegan. Some vegans will only eat stuff that they're sure is made with sugar not processed that way, but a lot don't mind it, since avoiding processed sugar means avoiding practically everything that you didn't cook yourself.

I suppose that leaves in HFCS?
I have an actual phone screen interview on Thursday. Maybe the job dam is finally breaking up. Or I'll just get all excited about a prospective job and have my heart broken again.
