if there were no need for 'engineers from the quantum plenum' then we should not have any unanswered scientific questions.

Well crud.  I guess I need to add cocoa to my shopping list!

Icing sugar=confectioner's sugar, or am I making stuff up in my head again?

As far as I know, it's the same thing. I think. My husband and I just tried this tonight and it is seriously so easy and so yummy! And, at about 200 calories a pop, it's not a bad way to satisfy a chocolate cake craving.
Do you really fancy becoming types diabetic? Seriously that amount of refined sugar can't be good for you  :(

Probably not. But considering the fact that it's probably the only refined thing that I really eat in the run of a day, and how much crap is in a lot of other sweets, I'm okay with it.

The odd 1/4 cup of refined sugar is not going to kill me, or anyone else, if you have an otherwise healthy and balanced diet, I don't think.

Edit: for context, 1/4 cup of sugar is approximately how much sugar is in two cans of coke. No, I wouldn't drink coke every day, but I don't think drinking two cans of coke a day here and there will give anyone diabetes. When you consider all of the other crap they put in coke (chemicals, dye, the acidity etc), I think you're better off with sugar mixed with two other, pretty "clean" ingredients.

You're probably right, I'm just in 'grumpy old fart' mode.

That's okay, I'm a grumpy fart sometimes and I'm not even that old!
And "grumpy fart" is almost always less endearing than "grumpy old fart".  ;D

For dinner last night I took chicken breasts, salted and peppered them, added a slice of a cream cheese brick, some leaf baby spinach, and wrapped in a bacon slice and secured with a toothpick. . 375° for 40-45 minutes.

Holy crap they were good.

I think I just had a heart attack by association.  I will, however, pass this to my girlfriend who will go nuts for it and I'll make the potato-leek soup for myself.

Thread resurrection! Bam!

I'm attempting to properly caramelize onions. The next 45 minutes better be worth it.

Just figure out how to make them in foil over the coals for next time...

I made an omelet for the first time ever yesterday.  I've always been too intimidated to try, but it turned out perfectly.  Omelets for everybody!  Omelets forever!

What did you have on it? My favorite is a simple bacon, onion, and cheese.

Many, many years ago I took a short trip to Vancouver and had tea at the Empress Hotel.  This included english muffins drenched in butter and honey.  It was better than chocolate.

I think I know what I want to be buried in after I die.
