OH MY!!!!! Did someone mention marzipan. I love, love, love marzipan.

Uh.. relaxed and tired.

haven't slept well the last 2 nights. this happens every so often. went to spin class this morning and it kicked my butt! going thru the day was tiring...

then i had an evening event with our ea.. and i couldn't resist. had a nice gin n tonic (tanqueray 10).

relaxed and mildly loopy. hopefully i can sleep well tonight cuz my hard spin class is on fridays!

mildly obsessing over whether i should get a digital camera for the grand canyon trip and for life in general....

i can't wait for my vaca!!!! only about 3 weeks....

RD vaca sounds cool...go get a nice little digicam, you'll love it!

Yup, I went out after work - first time I've been invited by any of my co-workers, so I had to say yes! I had a glass of pinot grigio which I haven't had before, and it was a fairly nice wine. And I drank a glass of water too, so that probably helped....we decided to stay for food, and there was, of course, nothing on the menu that actually worked with the "diet" that I'm supposed to be on. I had a swiss mushroom burger. I didn't eat the bun, so it was just the cheese (but swiss should be a bit better than cheddar), the raw tomato, lettuce and pickle....and who knows how the fries were prepared....

so I feel full. And I'll have to have a pair of girl guide cookies, because, what the heck, I just blew the whole eating thing anyway....here I go. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

maybe I'll dip them in goats milk. yeah. that's a good idea

I've never been one to eat marzipan but when I was in the south of France, I could spend hours looking at the marzipan creations, all kinds of animals, teapots, everything you could imagine. Works of art. You gotta love how the French treat food.

Ooohhh another reason to visit France.

The great thing about liking Marzipan is not many people like it so you dont have to share.

Doesn't marzipan stick to your teeth?

I feel very out of the loop on the D&D thread. Just like drugs, I didn't do that...

I wonder how many parents would be offended if the teachers who keep guinea pigs in their grade school classroom, also taught the students in that class the incan traditions around the animals.

The sun is shining, it's already above 10 degrees C, and it's the extra day in a long weekend. We'd better get cleaning the house and doing the yard work so our chores are done when we want to go ride!

T-
Marzipan is basically almond paste I think- not nearly as sticky or bad for your teeth as caramel or taffy.

D&D- I don't even know what it is- a computer game I guess. (Down&Dirty? Death&Destruction? Darryl&Darryl?) I got intensely into Myst when it first came out (ancient history), tried one or two other games after that but it seems I had already gotten the computer game bug out of my system. These days I do other things. To each their own.

I did an google for guinea pigs to see their different colors and varieties, and found there were lots of pictures of South Americans roasting them on grills! They look kind of creepy roasted with their little feets sticking out at right angles, but I bet they taste good, maybe little little rotisserie hens?

I always put chores, housecleaning and yard work down at the bottom of my list....way after riding my bike. (kitty gossamer tumbleweeds rolling by....)

Marzipan is a tad more sweet than almond paste. YUM!

I planned to make the Marzipan cake today. Yesterday Twin B (DS#3) made Danish Kringle using almond paste. Oooooh so, so yummy!

I remember playing Myst a *long* time ago. D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) I never, ever got into. Not my thing.

Well so far today I have thrown my back out, put my cell phone through the washing machine (I do believe that killed it forever. ), and broke my coffee tray. Today is NOT going well.
