Day 1: Ring my bell

(10:40:01 PM) mando: Yeah, so basically I used the blow torch on the vanilla sugar to create a crisp crust on the cream
(10:40:43 PM) mando: I think it really helped that I used lots and lots of sugar in the actual custard
(10:41:02 PM) mando: and then topped that off with a few dollops of caramel
(10:41:10 PM) Meteo: I'm not one for custard. Its usually several heaping layers of chocolate.
(10:41:16 PM) Meteo: In cake, brownies...
(10:41:22 PM) Meteo: Whichever.

(10:44:39 PM) DrRosenrosen: also, I think canta is one of those people who signs on and gets up to go to the bathroom, so you never get instant satisfaction if you're trying to fuck with her

(10:48:30 PM) cantabile: WELL YOU GUYS ARE GETTING YOUR DELAYED GRATIFICATION
(10:48:35 PM) cantabile: hatehatehate


I love my friends. I love them so much I'm thinking about giving them the gift of a blunt object to the head, as a matter of fact.

It's official. I have a near-Pavlovian response to gimongous pictures of cheesecake. Admittedly, I'm sure this is not unusual in the general population. Slightly more worrisome is that I was planning to order a soda for about twenty seconds before I remembered that possibility was right out. Thinking about it honestly, there's no reason why drinking soda should be an ingrained habit. I may have to do some more research into the subject.

Sbarro's nutrition page is under construction, which seems to be an ongoing theme in the restaurant websites I've looked at so far. I'm going to have to assume there's no HFCS in spinach-and-mushroom pizza; I feel pretty safe doing so, but I've been wrong before.

When I woke up from my evening "I slept for four hours last night and now I can't function until I crash on the couch for a while" nap, there was a Reese's wrapper on the coffee table.

Thank you, boyfriend!

I marched to the trash can with it right away, followed by calls of "No, I'll get it! You can't be trusted with it. There's chocolate still on it. You'll lick it off!"

He's so supportive. How dreamy.

As a side note, I'm not going to be focusing on any weight loss very much, as it's not something I want to fixate on for various reasons. However, for curiosity's sake, I'll do a few perfunctory weigh-ins. Today: 132 lbs (60 kg).

Seriously, I would kill for a piece of cheesecake right now.

This may be harder than I thought.
