This is the first year I've watched SYTYCD! It's really fun.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Arnold breads don't have HFCS in them, which is good because they are nummy (for store-bought bread).
Wheat Thins, OTOH, do, and it makes me sad because there is NO REASON why a WHEAT CRACKER needs to have three kinds of sugar in it. (Cane juice, corn syrup, and HFCS. Ick.)

Thrive to spite them
A lot of barbecue sauces have HFCS in them. And Ketchup and salad dressings. It's in everything almost.
Ocean Spray finally stopped putting it in their cranberry juice.

In addition, the wheelchair people are taking over some places, outnumbering those on foot. It's kind of an interesting perspective, having them be in the majority, even for a brief while.
When we were planning my uncle's memorial service in Arlington VA, we had to think about capacity in terms of chairs. Thank god we had Rosemary there to visualize what we needed.

belated thank you for goat cheese recipes. The recipes themeselves are good, as is the advice on ways of thinking about goat cheese.

At least in these cases, I can understand why - where HFCS is replacing more expensive kinds of sugar, it doesn't bother me as much.
But Wheat Thins? Do not need to be sweet!! Maybe if there weren't so much damn sugar in there to begin with, they could lower the sodium content that's currently overcompensating.
I should start making my own crackers again. They're embarrassingly easy, and I'd know exactly what was in them.

Get some fresh figs (if you can), cut them in half, smear a bit of goat cheese on the cut side, and wrap the whole thing in a slice of prosciutto. Place these on a baking sheet and broil for about 3-4 minutes, or until the prosciutto is slightly crispy.

Sean you can visit and cook for us anytime. Would this work with dried figs?

My trench coat has arrived! I am trying to be excited that the cold and rainy weather is continuing tomorrow so that I can wear it.

I don't think so. At least, nowhere near as well. If you can't get fresh figs, get fig jam or fig paste instead, some tortillas, caramelize some onions, and make quesadillas.
