you just ate your children?

Two mini chocolate pavs with whipped cream and banana.

I feel ill, and need to do an hour on the treadmill tomorrow per pav me thinks.

Half a maltloaf. With butter. It was last night, actually. But the guilt is still with me. My MIL brought it from the UK when she came at christmas, but didn't tell us -I just found it in a bag with loads of packs of cookies. I wasn't sure if it would still be any good because it was squished almost flat and a few weeks past the sell-by date, so I figured there was only one way to find out.

(It was good -I would probably have had the other half for breakfast this morning if beest had not gallantly rescued me by consuming the other half last night)

christ, i thought that said meatloaf

me too! I kept reading it and trying to figger out how she ate 1/2 a meatloaf

It was a really small loaf...a loaflet if you will.

A bun!

I just looked up "sanga." Am I going to have to look up "maltloaf" too?

I did anyway, just for my 'satiable curiosity. Aside from the extract of malt it looks a lot like Date Nut Bread -- but gooier. Date Nut Bread only has islands of sticky goo -- marshes? -- that once were pitted dates. I can put up my mother's recipe on the Latest Recipe Thread if anyone wants.

Date & Nut Maltloaf

Kronos? Uranos?

Why do I insist on buying microwavable diet Mexican meals??? They always have some sort of unidentifiable meat in them that is referred to as chicken, but must be a puree.

I am going to be hungry in about an hour!!

Around here I'd never do that -- but I do live in a heavily Hispanic town in Southern California. They aren't about diet -- I've never seen sugar-free Jarritos sodas nor sugar free sodas in Mexican grocery marts -- but you can leave off the sour cream and rice in the burrito and lean heavily to the pico-de-gallo and other salsa.

I just voluntarily consumed pancakes with maple syrup.

One, I don't really like pancakes. Dense bread products just aren't my thing. I'd rather do something fluffier like a waffle. Two, I hate hate hate maple syrup. It makes me gag. When the kids have it, I make them eat on paper plates so I don't have to wash them.

But rarely, maybe once a year, out of nowhere I get a hankerin' for it. These were multi-grain pancakes so they had a nice texture, and the syrup was thinner and less pungent than your typical bottled product. Man, they were good. But even now, I can look back at the meal and say, "Nope, I'm good now. No need to eat that again."

Clever.

I was actually thinking of a Gary Larson Cartoon -insects having coffee one offers the other a snack "oh no, I just ate my young" or something to that effect. But I can't find it via google and all the far side books are still in the basement....


and then there's this


(best recording I could find, sorry)

Fobble, all I can say is you have a very strange palate... me, I reckon Grade B maple syrup the food of the Deciduous Forest Gods.

I mean berry syrups at IHOP are, well, okay. My palate just can't tell me why they bother.

I see those at the grocery store all the time. Are they worth a try?

There are so many odd things in UK grocers that I just don't have the money and sense of adventure to try them all...
