I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Y'all can have my share of all the oatmeal, AND all the raisins.

No vaccinations for me until I am done with chemo and my immune system has had some time to recover. Probably not until early April, at best.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I like raisins in things, but only if I know they’re raisins to start. Not if I think they’re chocolate and then am disappointed.

Yes, this. Oatmeal raisin is a delicious and valid flavor combo, but NOT when I have put a cookie into my mouth thinking it was chocolate chip.

Anyone else caught up in the massive Verizon internet outage on the East Coast? It's making my work day SO MUCH FUN.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I like raisins fine in bread and cereal, but not in cookies. I guess the chewiness doesn't work for me in the cookie format.

Our wings are not tired.

I heard about the massive East Coast outage, but apparently we are not included here. No fun for those included.

Poor puppo. Skinner has the donut collar and it works pretty well, except his nose is so long that he is still able to lick/chew places he shouldn't. I just give him Benadryl when I want to calm him down.

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

I have chocolate chip cookies for later. It was very easy to tell which was which so I knew I was starting with the oatmeal raisin.

Oh no on the internet outage!

Poor pupper

I started college at 17 and waiting would probably have been better for me but another year at home would not have been, so, yeah, dunno.

Similar to Emmett and Matilda who are both September babies. So he arrived on campus at age 17 and that was (in retrospect) too early for him.

SAME

I like raisins in many things but yes, you need to know they're there.

Raisin bran = good
raisins in tajine = great
raisins in what appear to be chocolate chip cookies = work of the Devil

Damn you all, now I want oatmeal cookies.


JenP - Jan 26, 2021 12:06:55 pm PST #2763 of 30000

I want oatmeal cookies, funnel cake, chocolate chip cookies, and... kind of Raisin Bran, too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

but I used to get empanadas from a local place that would include them and didn't mind them.

Yes, they use raisins at my fav empanada place (which is Argentinian) with beef and green olives and you'd think that wouldn't work. But I love that combo.

Also like raisins in oatmeal cookies.

In fact I just ate a handful of nuts and raisins and craisins to top off after my lunch omelette.

JZ is about to drive up to Reno to take care of her mom, who is having minor outpatient sinus surgery. But JZ is trying to dodge the River of Rain and consequent snow. Because you know one place you don't want to be snowed in? The Donner Pass.

So it'll just be me and Matilda watching anime and teen sex comedies for the next week.
