Jai called up last night just as I was finishing baking the pumpkin pie, and said she had the evening free of her daughter and did I want to go to a movie. Indeed I did, so we went to see “Shall We Dance”, which I liked as well the second time, and then went out for coffee and talked for an hour before trundling off home. It was *really* nice. Her hair’s all short and fliffy and cute! Then I came home and played City of Heroes until 1…
christmas is a’comin’
I’m not going the jam-making route this year, but I will be doing one huge flurry of candy-making on the 16th and 17th of December. This is, I know, a little late, but hopefully it’ll be followed up by a post office run on the 18th and I will send candy out to the usual suspects. If you would like to be a usual suspect and fear you are not, post a comment ON THE MIZKIT SITE. Tell me if you are allergic to nuts. I will email you to…
meme

I cleaned the kitchen and the kitty litter, took out the garbage, and got breakfast. Later today I’ll make two pies and either will make or get Ted to make his soft rolls, ’cause it occurred to me last night that we could make them and take them out halfway through baking and put ’em in the fridge, so that *tomorrow* they’d be…
food comments
Y’know, something I’ve observed the last few days: this whole not eating sweets thing has made me *far* more aware of whether or not I’m actually hungry. Because, I mean, come on, how many of us are really still *hungry* when time for dessert rolls around? So now what I’m finding is that my mouth will say, “A cookie would be good!”, or, “Ice cream would be yummy!”, but my *brain* is really listening to my stomach a *lot* more, and that they’re both saying, “Except you’re really .not. hungry,…
