(no subject)
Had a dream last night (this morning?) I was in a car with a family of immigrants (no idea where they were from) and they had a big ol' snake, and when we opened the doors at our destination the snake got out and bit someone's hand. (HUGE snake, btw.) And I all freaked out (he was yelling a lot, it fucking hurt!) and tried to call 911 but the first time I did they were on strike or something, and the second time I got someone. But the dude overhears me talking to the dispatcher and gets mad 'cause he's not hurt *that* bad (snake wasn't poisonous?), it's not going to kill him, it's just going to hurt a lot, and he doesn't have health insurance, so could I please tell them not to show up? So I tell the dispatcher that the dude is being stupid and doesn't want the ambulance to come, so it probably shouldn't. She got kinda pissy with me, there were *real* emergencies to deal with y'know. After I hung up, I'm like, WHY THE FUCK does this family have a huge freaking snake that bites and it's not in a terrarium or cage or something? Damn.
I seriously thought about getting a ball python for a few years. I love snakes. I just can't handle the idea of feeding them rodents. I like rodents too much. In any case, the dream wasn't related to any kind of snake phobia or anything.
People's has that coconut milk I posted about a month or two ago. It's really thick, but it also has guar gum in it, which is a thickener. It's rich and creamy, but has an odd taste to it. Dunno if that's natural to the coconut or not. One glass has 80 calories, but fifty of them are straight-up saturated fat, about 1/4th of your whole day's worth. In general I try not to worry about saturated fats, I do eat more than probably most vegans (damn you Earth Balance margarine!!), but there's not a lot of places for it to "hide" in a vegan diet, and since I exercise and get plenty of whole grains and don't consume any cholesterol at all... Supposedly the saturated fats in coconuts are better for you somehow. Dunno if that's true.
In any case, the milk is yummy on cereal. I haven't tried it in coffee yet. HOWEVER, I think this stuff would probably make fantastic baked goods and french toast. I also want to try making "cream" sauces with it, as I got the "plain" kind.
Oh, and: Happy Beltane/May Day/International Worker's Day to everyone!!
Take a moment to remember that people fought and died for the forty-hour workweek and the right to unionize, and still do in some parts of the world.
Buy a flower for someone.
Make love to someone else or just yourself! :^)
