Thanks . Down from the ledge . Will wait and hold onto Hopkins , Crab , Tyrell , and Diggs . Starting Crab and Hopkins this week . <| sep |> Did you really have to stab the cat just because it startled you ? <| sep |> Its 25 on amazon rn <| sep |> They are moving into the fully electric market . Their NiMH batteries are going to be used in their Hydrogen cars . and they already have made those . <| sep |> Here ' s a big bunch of rant , hurray holidays ! Fat rant I just made plans to go see my mom in February . My mom moved down South years back and my job makes it hard to get down there very often . Meaning . she hasn ' t seen me since well before I started losing weight yes , almost two years , I know , I ' m the worst daughter . She doesn ' t even know that I have lost weight at all it ' s not something I bring up unsolicited with anyone . I ' m kind of scared . Now , I would never blame her for everything wrong with me , but if I ' m honest , I inherited a lot of screwedup behavior regarding food from her and my stepfather , who I think in his general fun weirdness and desire to endear himself to his stepkids would buy ridiculous amounts of treats , sprinklebomb our lunchboxes , and he loves to cook as well so . , and she is a very big lady herself . I don ' t know how she ' ll react . Guess I ' ll be biting my fingernails until February . Regular rant I made bread pudding for breakfast . It would have been really good if I ' d used more pudding andor less bread , as it were . I should have tried out the recipe first . Dammit . The parts that really soaked up the custard were great , and I poured some eggnog over the rest , so I liked it even though the top was dry . The husband gave me the standard , It ' s pretty good , which usually just means , I ate it . Swing and a miss . Screw it , next time I ' m soaking the bloody thing in Bailey ' s andor topping it with caramel and whipped cream . On a good note , I made spaghetti squash for the first time last night . I made a primaveratype thing . It was excellent . So I ' m maybe 1 . 25 for 2 so far on dishes the past two days . Here ' s to hoping the rest of the cooking is a little better . I hope my cupcakes turned out all right . I wonder if there ' s still time to make pie . sigh I shouldn ' t have gone lowcalorie on anything today . I should have just gone fullfat , redblooded nasty on dessert at least . Arrrrghhh . At least I ' m doing better scaling back what I ' m cooking this year . I only made the two singleserving bread puddings . I only made six cupcakes . I ' m only making a handful of rolls , a manageable amount of stuffing and potatoes . In previous years , I ' d make huge full batches of everything . Now I ' m only making what two people can realistically eat in a few days . Progress ! ? Happy Turkey or whatever you ' re into Consumption Holiday to my favorite sub !
