Closest I ever got was the time Mum made chocolate-icing-crowned gingerbread men on popsicle sticks to horrify my grandma ( Read more... )

I really wanted to make cookies this afternoon, but Dad, who was standing right there, pouted and moaned because he's not supposed to have chocolate (he hasn't been allowed to have caffeine for a while now, 'cause it makes the chemo less effective or something). And digging through Mum's freezer, I found a container of cream cheese icing that I had ( Read more... )

1. You will all be relieved to learn that I did not see my shadow today, and that I expect (actually DEMAND) an early Spring, because it is very cold out and I want it to stop ( Read more... )

Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is grown in South ( Read more... )

I just poured myself a bowl of cereal, as I'm wont to do when busy and hungry and... well, wanting health-free sugar. Do you know what I discovered? That for the first time in years, the Froot Loops box contains one representative from every colour mentioned in the Rainbow Song. I think this is a promo of some kind. There's a huge cartoon woman on ( Read more... )
