My appetite is back, cum a vengeance.

Got new windshield wipers. The back one still isn't meeting the surface of the back window. Gonna try fiddling & then maybe get professional advice there.

I don't mind Hugo Chavez saying "Go to hell, gringos!" That thing about calling Condi his "little girl" was a bit irritating. But this grab of expanded executive powers is troubling. I'm not saying it's more troubling than W's. Just that it's troubling.

What else goes on. Pfizer to lay off 10,000, closing 3 sites in Michigan. Antidepressants linked to increased fracture risk. Leftover chicken chipotle refrieds in Lisa's fridge. (Hongry.)

Of all the foods never served in the home of my nuclear family of origin, refried beans must be right up there on the list of comestibles most often consumed by me since. You got any of those? Something you eat often that was unheard of in your childhood consumption? Others of mine include asparagus, tortillas, and garlic. Though I guess I don't eat a whole lotta garlic. And tofu and soy milk and stuff like that, of course.

Back to work. (It's a long work day.)

The only thing I eat a lot that I didn't as a kid is fast food and restaurant food, things we never ate because we didn't have the money to waste when we could just eat when we got home.
I have way more foods that I enjoyed as a kid that I never get anymore cause I either can't make it like mom, or I just don't feel like going through the trouble: indian rice (rice cooked in milk, topped with shallots, peanuts, coconut, pineapple, and anything else in the house), bbq goat meat, meatloaf.
The one thing I do get now that I didn't as a kid is real ice cream.
We had ice milk, which doesn't deserve to have "cream" in its name.

We had ice milk too! I'd forgotten about that. Is that even sold in grocery stores any more?

That rice concoction sounds yummy.

oh yeah, ice milk. Mom & dad used to have "a dish of cherry vanilla" after Susan & I were in bed. I thin keven the ice milk was too decadent for us kids. We didn't get marshmallow cereal either. Or Pop-tarts that had frosting on top. Like the marshmallows or the frosting was resposibible for the sugar overload of kids' cereals and such.

god forbid you should have had too much bodily pleasure, after all. you know, the sugar inside the grainy cereal isn't as decadent and scandalous as that Pop Tart topping! hell, if you can't have music in church, you sure as shit can be having marshmallows in yer cereal.
