The Isolated Blurt Thread XLII : Saint Peter is a douchebag

It slipped right by me.

"How can we even begin to argue with hundreds of thousands of people who choose to believe that a top government agent is speaking to them through 4chan, that Trump has been playing a game of 4-D mind chess this whole time, and that the Las Vegas massacre was an inside job?"

Well, they called tomorrow morning's 5-mile race off.


I am just crazy enough to have taken a shot at it notwithstanding the fact that the forecast is for a temperature of 12° (-11C) with a wind chill of -2° (-19C).


They confessed that they weren't really worried about the runners; they were more concerned about the officials, the timers and the volunteers.

The smartest thing I did this year was to buy an electric blanket.


After last year's unusually warm winter (caused by the El Niño), I thought there was a good chance of a return to normal winter weather.


The blanket is fantastic. It's so nice and cozy to climb into a warm bed. I might as well be in the tropics.

Mixed drink- 2 parts hydrogen, one part oxygen, neat.

I have infused mine with c. arabica and combined that with some v. planifolia flavored disaccharide and cow extractives.

Tasty stuff.

Why would anyone go out tonight?

I can't for the life of me figure.

I've never been a coffee drinker but every once in a while I run across something that smells awfully good.

I do enjoy a cup of cocoa from time to time I wish you could commonly get it in differing amounts of dark chocolate.

This season I haven't seen a single outlet that sold the Mexican version of hot chocolate last year, selling it.

Is that the recipe for the fluid on your brain?

I am sporadically. If I don't drink some this afternoon/evening I'll be asleep. So it's keeping me awake - a good thing as I don't want to be awake at 2am.

Have you ever thought of making your own? There are some very good dark chocolates on the market.

Like most bodily fluids, cerebrospinal fluid contains a high percentage of dihydrogen monoxide, but the "recipe" would be much closer to blood plasma.

Why do you ask? Are you leaking some?

Yes, this. When you make your own, it can taste just the way you want it to.

The problem is that would involve a lot of things that I purposefully do not stock my pantry with. Whenever I have the sort of things on hand to make something delicious but ultimately not particularly good for me I'm more likely to indulge. Even though I'm regularly in convenience stores that have instant hot chocolate on tap I generally avoid it because the calories really aren't worth the momentary, minor indulgence.

Really good indulgences are harder to avoid. Most things, if I don't have in the house, I won't go out and get.

Yes, this. When you make your own, it can taste just the way you want it to.

The two of you are a vial temptresses. I am seriously considering this now.

I'm already working on the rationalization phase. Since I can't get mexican chocolate, it's reasonable for me to gather up the ingredients so that I can enjoy that seasonal taste...you.. know just the once.

That suit fit pretty well this morning, I seem to have maintained or possibly even dropped a couple of pounds during the feasts of Festivus season, so a little indulgence couldn't hurt, could it?

Exactly.

Pfffft. Dark chocolate - which stores like a dream. A bit of sugar. A dash of salt. You can get half n half as needed at the store.

I just don't think you're that committed to having your cocoa foodgasm.

It absolutely would not.

 

[Froya]

They sell half and half in pretty small cartons, too, so you don't have to have much in the house at all.

 

[Que]

Exactly.

That tears it.

I'm walking down to the little Mercado on the corner to see if they have what I need, and if they don't have the ingredients I need the big Mercado will, and that is far enough on foot for me to justify the calories involved.

Googling now for what I need for the Mexican chocolate I probably have cinnamon on hand but fresh grated cinnamon bark would be better.

That would involve a trip in my new (to me) Prius over to a very good Chinese market I know of.

I will take that as a yes.

Join the dark side... the dark chocolate side that is.

Dark Chocolate Sucks

As in, "Yes, I do have watery fluid cushionimg my brain" ?

Sure.

Glad I could help with your query.

Dark Chocolate Sucks

Blasphemy.

 

[Froya]

Dark Chocolate Sucks

I don't mind sucking it at all.

 

[Que]

Shit.

This seems to be getting needlessly complicated.

One recipe was:

6 (12-ounce) cans evaporated milk.
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
Pinch cayenne pepper.
2 (12-ounce) bags semisweet chocolate chips (recommended: Hershey's)
Cocoa powder, for serving.

The fuck?

I wasn't planning on sating the thirst of the whole of Villa Alegre. going to have to get out a piece of paper and scratch out some maths..

I suspect that the canned evaporated milk is actually pretty authentic Mexicans do like using it in cooking. Sweetened condensed more likely. At one time my late father ran a Carnation plant that made that stuff so we seemed to have it around as well. I never used to be that fond of the taste of it but I'm sort of nostalgic about it.

I think I'd rather use some creme fraiche or half-and-half.

The Bon Appetit recipes suggested almond extract instead of vanilla. I was leaning towards real Mexican vanilla which I don't have which I'll need to go get. The Chinese place has real Mexican extract where the Mexican Market has fake Mexican extract. Same brand.

I'm thinking I should go to the Chinese market which isn't a horrible idea anyway because I could get something to make for whatever I'm going to eat on New Year's Day

 

[Que]

My French must suck because although voice to text did spell creme fraiche correctly it's spelled bone appetit thusly. . .

I probably should work on my French given that I have virtually none. My daughter at some point is likely to give me French grandchildren and I plan on mooching off of her in the south of France during my dotage years.

 

[fluffPE]

Blasphemy.

Fuck Chocolate. Did you watch my Vikings?
