Oh, geez, no -- I think food budgeting is fraught and for damn good reason.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

In food news, Turkey Hill did a survey and America's favorite ice cream flavor is "choco mint chip" (not sure if they mean mint ice cream with chocolate chips - which is what I'd guess - or chocolate ice cream with mint chips). In bad ice cream news, Kraft is going to sell a limited edition macaroni and cheese ice cream. um ....

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Have you considered Parmesan cheese ice cream? [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I will now. That sounds intriguing.
I am less intrigued by mac and cheese ice cream but I would try it if given the opportunity. Might be good, who knows?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I know. I know it would not be good.

Now I don't know what to think. My instinct is to believe Dana, but mac and cheese casts a pretty compelling spell (I have tried a number of dishes that include mac and cheese in some unlikely way that are not so much bad as just not worth the effort and I have clearly not learned my lesson)

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

I'm like 95% sure it will not be good but I would try it once just to say I did.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I do not want savory ice cream. No thank you.
- t that sucks re:budgeting. Is there any way to reduce other expenses?
The last 2 days I have felt increasingly bad as the day went on. Headache, chills inside (no fever), sluggish, slightly upset stomach. Yesterday after I walked the dogs and fed them, I laid out in the recliner with a throw over me and drank water and listened to podcasts. Around 8 I fell asleep, so when I woke up I took the dogs out one more time and went to bed. Felt great this morning, got up early and everything. Now I am yuck again.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've had a couple of amazingly good savory ice creams, always in the form of some absurd frou-frou appetizer in a fancy mod cuisine joint where you get, like, a tiny cone of avocado or wasabi or something on a plate of equally absurd but tasty things. For like 2 bites. I can't emphasize that part enough.
Kraft Mac ice cream is not that.

I could maybe get cheaper internet and get rid of DirecTV but I have kind of tried and it's a lot of effort and wouldn't make much of a dent so I don't want to. Everything else is pretty fixed. I actually paid off 4 credit cards earlier this year with a combination of stimulus money and a gift from my mother, and I was all excited because that meant another $175 disposable without those minimum payments but then my mortgage payment went up $150/month (escrow, I assume for insurance) so that was discouraging. It's not unworkable, I can live with it, I just would be happier if I thought this was temporary.
I hope you feel better soon, msbelle, that sounds miserable. I hate those on and off not really SICK sick but definitely not well things
