Those pies I baked! Yeah. I think those days are mostly behind me. For a couple years I was so excited to have an oven that I baked all the time and found new sweets to bake. Then one day butter and sugar together sounded gross. I could smell it al…

WOAH. Can you get me some? I will make you soft boiled eggs with toast soldiers if you bring this to me.

Marmite. But when you are in the company of Australians, eating a bagel with avocado, Vegemite is better. Then and only then.

Steve Jobs just passed away apparently? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15193922

My cat slams wet food.

Maybe not everyone would admit to slamming. Maybe Shoes is right. But I freely admit to chip slamming. It's unlady-like. So embarrassing to realize you are eating most of the chips while sharing with others. So hard to pull yourself away. But I admi…

I think there is definitely a style of candy-eating known as slamming. It's nowhere near as hilariously extreme as what UncleShoes describes, but it's real. I didn't mean to say that all milk-chocolate lovers are slammers, simply that the one I live…

Yes! Complete chocolate revival! The very normal grocery store in Anacortes has a growing chocolate section. So many kinds, ramen noodle chocolate, obscure German fair trade bars, Theo from Seattle, design-y chocolate bar packages. Also, so many Eur…

I still say get the mini-radiator oil kind. To me my one seems pretty inexpensive to use. I don't know how big the rooms are in your house, but if like us you have fairly small rooms to heat, it does the trick Three things: -I always turn mine off w…

Zombie: Yes! I now remember reading that New Yorker article! I am not European, but I distinctly associated Hershey with gagging as a kid. Weird sweaty chocolate. And I had forgotten about the Snickers wrappers on the ice cream. Eww. Now I totally r…

I knew Skor was milk chocolate. I still think it tastes better. I forgot to say that yesterday at the store I saw a Hershey product called "Symphony" that came in a giant size. I had never seen it before, it looked right out of the early eighties, …

Doesn't the previous tenant know how to turn on the heat? I am currently all by myself in a big house so turning on the heat seems wrong but my studio is cold. I have a little space heater in there, the oil radiator-looking kind. It's wonderful. It …

Special report: I went to the store and they didn't even have Skor bars. Only had Heath bars and also the ice cream mentioned above. Oh well. No nog either. I am pretty sure we didn't have Heath bars when I was a kid. Only Skor. There were some Her…

How many of us bought Skor bar since this thread was started? Doesn't it make you want one? I need to go for a walk, I will go to the store and see if they have any.

Skor is great for skiing because it's really good when rock hard from the cold.
-
EASY! SKOR! Skor has more of an "international" flavor, Heath is more "american", as in "U.S.A.". The first time I ever had a Skor bar was when I was ten at cross-country skiing camp. We had super long days of skiing in the cold during "winter br…

He REALLY made it.

He is so so close to the goal after days of feeling nervous about it. Many UHX celebrities have donated. This looks promising.

I am really enjoying the Daily Show these days. I watch it with breakfast. They have been pretty consistently hilarious about the numerous Republican debates. Also, very good at pointing out that countries such as NORTH KOREA were accepted into the …

Dude! That's easy! You don't need eggnog for that, I can basically make that for you right now.

If you know someone with an American Apparel wholesale account it's really cheap, too cheap to ignore. I have total hourglass and a man's t-shirt or a man's sweater is the only thing that looks good on me. I wish they made clothes for humans like u…

I am pretty sure we get nog in October here. "Golden Glenn Creamery" or something. Really thick and nutmeg-y. (not that good)
-
I should have put that in the other thread. Sorry.

People who can achieve without coffee are super-achievers. Just imagine what they'd do if we gave it to them?

Who let the nogs out.

I still feel so conflicted about buying new clothes you guys! I used to never ever ever buy new stuff (except for shoes and underwear), like all the way up until 2007. The only new items of clothing I owned were t-shirts I got from friends. But for …
-
YES YES YES You beat me to it! I really wanted to start this thread again asap but I didn't want to upset Alex who seemed to be enjoying the summer a lot. NO NOG YET.

I keep thinking autumn is coming but then it gets hot like it was here two days ago. Today is blustery here too. I fell asleep to the wind coming through the window pushing the curtain last night. And I have all these crisp perfect apples to snack o…

As a non-morning person I like to bathe every morning. Get water everywhere (except my hair, I don't like washing my hair every day) to wake me up. I also require fresh undies daily. The rest doesn't matter. Me going traveling involves a clean pair …

Oh yeah. My sleepy self is a scaredy cat. I get teased because if something wakes me up after I have fallen into deep sleep I tend to panic and ask "WHAT??? WHAT IS HAPPENING?" in a very worried voice. Years ago when I first moved to the West Coast …
