    When people add honey or sugar “to bring out the natural sweetness“ of whatever it is they’re cooking – that’s crap. You’re not bringing out a natural sweetness, you are adding sweetener. There are cooking methods that will bring out the natural sweetness of certain foods but adding sweetener is not it

    I totally thought this was headed towards terms of endearmentland.

    Not this time, buttermuffin.

    ETA: I just remembered that there was a user who had a similar name so let’s see… Not this time, Lemon curd

    When I answer the phone at work and a stranger on the other end of the line says, “how are you?“ by way of greeting And my Spidey senses tingle this must be some kind of manipulation and therefore a telemarketer because sir, my mother doesn’t even do that and how am I supposed to answer that because I don’t even know who you are?

    Buttercroissant maybe? Yeah, she sorta disappeared.

    I'll take lemon curd! Altho, damn, I love muffins. :)

    Reminds me of an Everybody Loves Raymond promo on TV Land where they showed Ray spouting off all these food related nicknames that he calls his wife, Debra.

    When I post about other people being the grammar police but don't proof my own post first.

    (To be fair, I think my tablet keyboard is acting up.)

    I fear for my safety if these are the kind of psychopaths I live with. Clearly there is a zipper on this. And it was ignored.

    Argh! I had some routine bloodwork done today and I'm now officially pre-diabetic (just barely...5.7). I can't exercise anymore than I already do!

    Insomnia struck again last night. Slept for maybe 2.5 hours, tried and failed to get back to sleep for another 2.5 hours, then finally dozed for maybe the last hour and a half before my alarm went off.

    I’m always grumpy when I haven’t slept much, so hopefully I can get through the day without taking someone’s head off.

    Today is a few things. One, my daughter just let me know she needs to move out next Wednesday. So here I am scrambling to make accommodations at my house for her 3 month stay with me. Two, woke up with the worst body pain and me trying to be strong and handle the pain I haven't taken ibuprofen and it was a dumb choice. Three, my neighbors dog. Just barks...and barks...and barks..and barks... 😡
