I like nuts of all kinds as a snack, but this time of year I'm partial to walnuts with mandarin oranges. (I also like Bailey's to complete the Christmas snacking trifecta, but not at work, obviously.) I also like pumpkin seeds. I still have a pumpkin we didn't get around to carving, but I will take out the seeds, toss them in olive oil, salt and curry powder, and roast them on a cookie sheet. You can eat the shells and everything. Also, OMG, edamame are yummy, but not very good cold.

Popcorn is also a good snack, as long as it's air-popped and not the microwave kind. If you substitute flax oil for butter or nutritional yeast for salt, it's super healthy as well, as it's a whole grain, if a bit high on the glycemic index. (I haven't tried both flax oil and nutritional yeast at the same time. I usually do one or the other.) Whole grain rice cakes with a slice of cheese nuked for 20 seconds is yummy.

Smoothies with sprouted, powdered chia seeds are a good source of protein too. Chia seeds are great. I add them to my oat bars when I bake, or sprinkle them on my cereal in the morning.

I love how the head of the CIA got caught by the digital footprints of his e-mail. Sigh.

S6 started off so strong and then Marilyn happened.

The Civil Wars broke up? What? That sucks.

BAILEY'S. I need that at work on days like today:)

Pumpkin seeds are in fact delicious, although I think at our store they only sell the unsalted kind, and I am not that virtuous. My big issue at work right now is that I have neither a fridge nor a microwave available (I'll have both next semester, so it's a temporary problem), so I have to work within those boundaries. But hmmm. A rice cake with PB could be good too, huh?

DOESN'T THAT JUST GIVE YOU ALL THE CONFIDENCE IN OUR NATIONAL SECURITY? Ffs, people. Get it together.

Well I at least wasn't subject to Marilyn last night, although by the time I turned it off Jack was already talking to Graem, so it's all downhill from here. Hee. Mostly last night though I was just so sad, because Curtis is all up Jack's ass about Assad and poor Jack is all, "Dude, I was trying to be dead, wtf?"

And yes, they did break up! I mean, they made it sound as if it might be temporary, but meh. I really really really like them!

Mmmm... I just had some kale chips that I made. They turned out really well, if a bit too salty. I ran out of regular sea salt and used fleur de sel instead, which is larger and therefore more salty. Also, I have eggnogg in my coffee. Life is good.

Assad's death really pissed me off, because a) Jack had finally killed the handsome black agent Curtis to save him, and b) I was really looking forward to looking at Assad for most of the season. Stupid PTB. The best thing about S6 was that it and xbedhead gave me this icon.

Rice cakes with PB or cream cheese could be yum. I also like sugar snap peas with or without dip.
