Thanks. I just remembered that dying is NOT a good thing!

mmmmmmmmmmm. I just ate really yummy dessert.

[Allie]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 9:22pm

What'd you have, Elphie? I'm sitting here with a big bowl of dill pickle popcorn, YUM!

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 9:26pm

Umm, that sounds really gross, Allie. I mean, I love pickles, and I love popcorn, but together? Ewwww.

We went to a diner and my sister and I shared a "Mississppi Mud Pie," which is a brownie topped with ice cream and hot fudge. SO good. And SO bad for you.

[Allie]

That sounds SO good! I had this dessert once that was kind of like that, but WORSE (better, of course): chocolate cheesecake with brownie pieces in it, covered in whipped cream, chocolate ice-cream, and hot fudge. OH. MY. GOD. SOOOO good!

And it's not REALLY pickles! It's just a shaker of dill pickle flavouring for popcorn. You can also get white cheddar, BBQ, all-dressed, salsa, and all kinds of others. Yummy! You should try it!

Oh WOW, that sounds fantastic! It might just be a little too chocolate-y for me, though. The one I had has vanilla ice cream, which cuts the sweetness, if that makes any sense.


Okay, yeah. I'll look in to those toppings.......

[Allie]

It was SO sweet. Split between 4 people, though, it's not so bad. But we kept having to get refills on our milk, hehe.

Personally, I like dark chocolate the best, because it's not as sweet.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

I *LOVE* dark chocolate! So yummy. And it's good for you, too.

I have to make about 500 chocolate chip cookies this weekend. I want to give them to teachers who wrote me reccommendations, and we're having some sort of celebration in almost all of my classes on Monday, so I figure I cna kill two birds with one stone!

[Allie]

My sister has taken over all the baking at home, and insists on using mlk chocolate chips in her cookies. I refuse to eat them! I recently discovered that you CAN buy dark chocolate chips, and I can't wait to try them out with my mom's cookie recipe.

Heh, my best friend thinks dark chocolate is gross. I offered him a piece of a bar one time, and the look on his face when he put it in his mouth was HYSTERICAL. He was so disgusted, hehe.

That's a LOT of cookies, Elphie! Best of luck!

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 9:53pm

Well, 500 is an exaggeration. It'll probably end up being more like 100-150. Not everyone needs a cookie, right? I mean, other people are brnging stuff, too.

Mmmm, dark chocolate chip cookies. Yumm-AY!

[Allie]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 9:58pm

You could always send the extra cookies to me.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 10:16pm

Okay, sure!

I'll postmark it:

They'll be sure to get to you in no time, and they won't be hard like your mom's cookies!

NOVA Scotia! Other than that, you're all good. I'll be looking forward to them! Yeah, my mom's were a little late. Ew.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 10:20pm

Wow, sorry about that. I'm not stupid, I promise!

Did you end up eating those cookies?

[Allie]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 10:35pm

Nooo, I threw them out and had some ice-cream instead. When I called Mom to tell her they arrived, she was like, "I don't think you should eat 6 week old cookies..." But they still SMELLED so good. Mmmm. Gah, I want some cookies right now. I don't think I have any.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 10:41pm

Neither do I, but I've been eating so much junk lately that it's probably a good thing. I was starting to feel really bad a lot, because I was eating too much candy and yucky stuff for lunch, so now I'm being healthier! Yay me!

Ugh, my sniffles are coming back. Time for me to get re-drugged!

[Allie]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 10:44pm

I always start the year eating healthier, but it gets hard after awhile. I'm not so great with the will power. Chocolate and salty snacks are my downfall. Especially together.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 10:47pm

See, my problem is that I don't have enough willpower and self-control when it comes to yummy foods, and we are selling candy for our Biology trip. So I would just buy candy from myself and eat it, and then the lunches I would have were NOT healthy, because they pretty much serve pizza and fries at my school. So, I've stopped selling candy for a while.

[Allie]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 10:54pm

Yeah, I can understand that! Since I'm buying my own groceries, it's easy to just buy whatever I want, and eat it all, but at the same time, I can buy different things that I wouldn't get to try at home. I eat a LOT of chick peas here, hehe. I just love them! And chicken. If there's food already cooked and in the fridge, it's just as easy to grab that as it is to grab a bag of chips. I'm learning!

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 10:58pm

Yay for learning!
I don't really like chickpeas, but I LOVE hummus. Yummy.

My sister found a cute picture of Raul and Adam that I don't think I've seen before, but it can't be enlarged, so I can't see.

[Allie]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 11:01pm

Mmm, hummus!

Aw, I want to see the picture! Is it tiny?

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 11:05pm

Yeah, it's small, which is why I can't tell if I've seen it before. But now I can't find it! I'll ask my sister tomorrow.

I am so random tonight, but I just have to express my love for Idina's cds right now. It'd been forever since I'd listened to them, because I'd been neglecting them for other things, but I'm listening to them right now. I'd forgotten how great they are.

[Allie]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 11:09pm

Don't you love re-discovering music? Sometimes I just go to the "Haven't Listened to Recently" playlist on Windows Media Player and listen to stuff I, well, haven't listened to recently!

I've heard a few audios from one of her concerts, but I don't know much of Idina's solo stuff. Love, love, LOVE Damsel in Distress from the Desperate Housewives soundtrack, though.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 11:14pm

I've only heard a clip of that, but I liked it a lot!

I really think she's a brilliant lyricist, especially on 'Still I Can't Be Still'. There's a lot of really powerful stuff, and a lot of stuff that doesn't seem to make sense, but if you take the time to think about it, it does. It took me a while to get used to "non-Elphaba Idina," but now that I have, I really love the cds!
