Apples??? (I'm doing low-gluten-y and avoiding 'junk' food) Hummus? Could be an excuse to get more peanut butter. I do not want to do what I did for Sandy. (Eat half a batch of castiron baked chocolate chip cookies)

My dog, you guys. I've been trying to think of fun indoor things to do with her. Today I decided to teach her to jump over a broomstick. It's not difficult. My childhood dog was great at it, and she was one of the worst-trained dogs ever. So I get the broomstick, and I prop the ends up so it's a couple inches off the ground. All the dog has to do is step over it. Does she step over it? No. Does she try to walk through the broomstick, trip, and nearly fall on her face? Yes. We try it again. She walks into it again and stops. I am on the other side with treats. She just stands there, all confused, and looks at me sadly, like there is an invisible force field preventing her from getting to me and the treats. Finally I demonstrate for her by running and doing an exaggerated leap over the broomstick. She tries it, does this weird clumsy jump, and once on the other side is ecstatic, like "OH MY GOD, I DID IT. I defeated the force field!" My mother says that maybe the dog will get smarter as she gets older, but I'm not so sure!

Yeah, something that doesn't need to be refrigerated? I don't actually know. I'm trying to be just as awesome as I was during Sandy/I remember your giant cookie of win!

Hahaha! How gorgeous! As Sheldon's mum would say, dumb as soup! But wonderful with it.

Oh good point. And yeah, it was a giant cookie of win. Except I'm much more on a diet now. oh well.

haha! RC, please make a video of this. In slow mo. Set to Eye of the Tiger.

Awww, torque!! I would eat your green beans any day. <3

So many people have written songs about cylons.

Why are there so many...songs about cylons? And what's on the other siiiiiiiiiiiiiiide?

I think online dating has brought me my soulmate. Behold an excerpt of our text conversation earlier...



Possibly the most disturbing and funny thing anyone has ever text me, I almost peed laughing.

My online class was supposed to meet at 5pm today. It's 5:20. Professor's not here. Nobody can log into the class if she's not there, so I've been sitting here refreshing the page for 20 minutes. I hope she's okay? I'm also kind of annoyed because I missed my (in-person) artists' support group meeting to attend class tonight, and I had questions about this week's lesson that I really was hoping she'd answer tonight. Poooooooooooooooop.

"I think it's only saturated fats from animals that can be unhealthy."

vegans are mad healthy. FACT.

I'm stoked. I found a new dentist. Making home more homey.
I love clean teeth.

YES!

For those who would like to see another example of my dog being a complete weirdo: http://forum.theppk.com/viewtopic.php?p=696781#p696781

Holy cute batman!

Holy shiitake, that is so adorable!

I REALLY WANT TO PUNCH SOMETHING IN THE FACE RIGHT NOW. AND THEN KARATE KICK THE AIR A BUNCH FOR NO REASON.

Are you Chuck Norris?

bit of spam happening at the moment, haha

Spambot on speed!

It's a spamstorm! I just made flapjacks (I am supposed to be completing a piece of work at home) with just a little bit too much salt. My options are: 1) eat all flapjacks, never tell Bry I made them; 2) offer Bry salty flapjacks and put up with ungrateful whingeing; 3) eat all flapjacks, make more for Bry, risk flapjack overdose.

I bought a box of clementines yesterday and a 5lb bag of white whole wheat flour to make bread. (Because if you can't make bread during blizzard, when IS a good excuse?)

I'd go with a combo of 1 & 3. Eat them all, don't tell Bry, make more, share new batch with him. That way you get extra flapjacks. Win.

Can you do something to counteract the saltiness? Is is just a little bit so some extra maple syrup would cover it up?

Or else (depending on the level of saltiness) you can layer the flapjacks and put a sweet (unsalted) tofu ricotta between them and make a fruity sauce and call it breakfast enchiladas :)
