'Objects In Space'
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.
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.
Cotton candy is magic.
Y'all are making me hungry.
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?
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.
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.
Good luck, Theo!
Interview~ma, Theodosia!
Good luck, Theo!
Someone wrote in to the Good Stuff to complain about the girl who cooks, because what about all the girls who do great things in STEM, etc. Dude! I feel like I have those girls all the time, too! Crikey.
