I am so excited for Grace's outing! I love her lack of enthusiasm for the apple. Hee! Yay for Gracie opinions!
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Opinions are one of the things that I have always YAY'ed about Gracie. I'm so glad she's gotten stronger and stronger and better able to impose them on the world!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought agave was low glycemic.
It's certainly marketed that way.
Okay, two loads of laundry in, and that's all the detergent I have. So I can cross that off my list for now. I'll leave cutting my hair until laundry's done.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That archer story about the two-finger salute isn't true, apparently. I just heard about that on the radio recently! But they referred to Snopes. Maybe here: [link]
For dinner, I had chicken with mango and lime, roasted sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, and a delicious cranberry ginger trifle for dessert. Thanks, mom!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Not a problem with gylcemic index perse, but rather the same problem you have with high fructrose corn syrup:
The basic problem with high fructose corn syrup is the fructose itself. The body processes fructose more slowly than regular table sugar.
In the liver, the body turns fructose into fat rather than burning it for energy. Flavin comments, "And so you start developing what they call fatty liver. Now fatty liver can start also changing into a less effective liver that's not functioning properly."
A fatty liver encourages weight gain. In addition, Flavin says fructose compounds obesity by increasing hunger, "So you do eat more. And then you have a greater appetite because your body's saying, 'I haven't had enough.' And your body is being fooled by a whole chemical imbalance."
Sinatra, the cardiologist, says in that same process, insulin, the body's sugar manager goes haywire, "High fructose corn syrup is very sweet. It elicits an insulin response, and remember insulin is the number one risk factor for cardiovascular disease."
Agave syrup, like High Fructose Corn Syrup is high fructose. So it has a lower glycemic index but has both short and long term effects that are a risk factor for diabetes, obesity and other problems. Unlike HFCS mercury and weird enzymes are not required for productions, but still not best thing in the world for you.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hmm, lemme see what I mean. Oh, wait, xpost w/ Typo.
Anyway, what I was trying to say was that it tastes unexpectedly sweet. Like, it tastes much sweeter than an equivalent amount of syrup or sugar.

Yes--that's a factor in substitution.

“Not dead yet!”
My dinner was out at local Italian joint. Chicken Francese-- love the sauce and may need to play w/ a variation for myself.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm not overly surprised at this (I'm just glad I remembered the story as told), but now I want to know the real story behind the two-finger salute.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
but now I want to know the real story behind the two-finger salute.
I'd think it was similar to the Italian two finger salute, which may involve some tongue licking at the V of the fingers. (Followers of the Sopranos may recall that Uncle June suffered a loss of social standing when it came out that he liked to go down on his girlfriend.)
