What are you eating?

Basque baked cheesecake. I’ve somehow managed to overcook the top slightly whilst very slightly undercooking the centre, but I’m still here for it.

Porridge (oatmeal) with stevia sweetener and salted almond butter

I tried Lucky Charms for the first time today, having seen a single-serve packet on the shelf in the supermarket on my way into work.

Not. A. Fan.

Like, ok, I somewhat enjoyed the Star Wars vibe of it turning the milk blue. I can get on board with that. But marshmallows for breakfast, America? Why all y’all gotta be putting marshmallows in everything? I was eating it, and I knew it was very sweet, but I only realised how much sugar when I left my spoon on my desk whilst I logged on and the blue milk residue on the spoon set into a very thin icing. That’s too much sugar.

On average, Americans consume 126.4 g of sugar every day. 2.5 times the WHO’s recommended maximum for a 2000-kcal diet, and 23% more than the next highest, Germany, and 35% more than the average Brit.

Well I’d assume that’s because if you’re not drowning something in maple syrup, you’re serving it with marshmallows.

A common holiday side dish is sugared sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows.

I hate that. It's so disgusting.

My grandma also would make a gelatine mold with fruit and vegetables in it and top it with a layer of marshmallows.

Just be thankful you've not been subjected to potted hough (jellied sheep head/various other bits).

Jellying meat should be illegal.

I had pickles for dinner and then I ate ice cream. I think that means I'm pregnant.

Except no sex. False alarm.

Ever tried burnt cheese cake? It's really good. Much easier to make and it has a unique flavor.

Oh wait, that's probably what you meant. Yeah, I don't know how one fucks that up.

Full-fat Greek-style yogurt with stevia sweetener, flaked almonds and set honey.

Same thing happened to me, actually. My father (a man, I might add, with whom I have little to nothing in common), used to grow weed in the basement of the house when I was a kid. When I was 15 though, he and his 19 year old girlfriend left edibles out on the kitchen counter and when I got home from school, since he wasn’t there to warn me, I ate two unknowingly and ended up high out of my mind. I was so scared, because I’d no clue what was going on with me for the first 30min and had zero tolerance for weed whatsoever. I’d a midterm the next day and, obviously, studied not at all that night. So, yeah, I tend to avoid brownies now.

Yes! You can find an exchange I had regarding my then-new keyboard and related matters in the quote pyramid here.

Also a video I made demonstrating my desktop setup, which I will reproduce here for everyone's viewing pleasure.
