Well, duh!

This is a shocker? Who exactly is surprised? Well, besides Brad Pitt.

Enough with that.

I've gotta say that we have WAAAAAAAAAAAY too many clothes. W-A-Y too many. And the irony is that, for a middle class American family, we don't have all that many clothes.

My task of the day is laundry, if you hadn't guessed already. Trying to navigate through the piles leading to the laundry room has now been classified a high risk activity. Please don't report it to our health insurance company. We can't afford the premium increase.

But it looks to be a decent, if chilly, day. I've got bread (hopefully) rising in the oven, the load of laundry that was in the washing machine for who knows how long hadn't mildewed, the dishes are being washed by a machine, and Babe is cheerful again.

I think the poor boy was actually starting to starve. He'd been eating so little, and then when we took him off his bedtime bottle on his birthday, he was getting maybe two cups of milk a week. So I've relaxed my stance about chocolate in milk a bit and now his appetite has come back. Yay! *wipes brow*

He's still coughing though. Oh damn. The chocolate sauce probably has soy in it. Phooey. Well, I'll have to search for some chocolate milk or chocolate sauce that doesn't have any. Or make it.

So, all I really have to worry about it plotting. Eep.

Anyway, hope all is going well for you all. I'm reading if not commenting.

High time they named someone who is actually sexy! Clooney and Affleck and that crowd would undoubtedly win "Prettiest Man Alive," but sexy? Not in my book. I'll bet Bambu is delighted; now all they need to do is name Jason Isaacs as Sexiest next year, and she'll explode.

I like your new layout! It's very pretty.

Yeah, that's my thought, too. There have been good choices, but the re-election of Pitt, Clooney and Affleck over and over again makes me wonder.

Thank you! Someday I will experiment with making my own, but until then, I think this works nicely.

Mmmmm, oh yes. Much, much more attractive than Brad.

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

I think so! =)

If you can get your hands on a copy without shocking or corrupting anybody, this month's Playboy has a delightful interview with Hugh Jackman.

Well done you on compromising with the picky eater/drinker, and have fun experimenting on how to get/make soy-free chocolate milk !

Hee, it might be worth it to ask Geoff to pick up a copy just to see his expression.

He is so stubborn, I think he would literally starve himself to death if it meant getting his own way. Fortunately, the chocolate sauce doesn't have soy in it. Yay!

I'm sure there's a recipe for chocolate syrup at hillbillyhousewife... I'll run off and look...

And I liked the look of thepioneerwoman's decadent chocolate milk, although it would probably be too rich for a kid.

Those are great! "Find a 2 quart pan." LOL!

The decadent chocolate sauce looks really yummy... reminds me of another chocolate sauce recipe from one of my friends. I'm going to have to dig that up now (though it's mainly for topping ice cream, not for making chocolate milk).

BTW, how have you been? Haven't heard from you in ages.

We've had an incredibly slow computer, and I've been arguing with my partner over whether it is a virus or just that we've got an underpowered machine. I've also got my exchange fic to finish and have felt a bit guilty doing other stuff while that is unfinished. And sleep problems. It all adds up to much less posting.

Chocolate sauce is one of those things I keep telling myself I will have to learn to make. I would love to have one of those pantries full of homemade food all labeled in jars, but I'm really too disorganized for mass canning projects and we don't have a lot of space. Chocolate sauce seems about my speed.
