(no subject)

I just found the cure for PMS, thanks to an entry in [livejournal.com profile] cheapvegan:

"I take a cup and put in...maybe three heaping tablespoons of sugar two heaping tablespoons of cocoa powder, two tablespoons of flour, about 1/3 a tablespoon of oil/margarine and a splash of milk...stir and add stuff until it looks and tastes like brownie batter, stick it in the microwave until it rises up and stops looking quite so liquidy and then eat it. Nom nom nom really bad for you."

I didn't bother baking it though. MMMMM yummy. (ETA: actually, I couldn't finish it, and it made me kinda queasy. Oops.)

Or you can use this recipe.

On a healthier note: I think I'd eat kale even if it was bad for me. I just love it so much these days.

EDIT: on the subject of food, I did some calculations and decided it was worth the $10 to go to Sweetpea's brunch most Sundays. First of all, it's two meals' worth of food. But also, it's a chance to socialize, which is something that must be taken into account, as is the fact that it's really yummy food that I don't have to cook myself.

Mmmmm....today there was pancakes, peppery potatoes, kale, yummy fucking grits, seitan, tofu scramble with asparagus, and a dessert of cake layered with chocolate pudding and whipped "cream".

I'm more into Sweetpea lunch these days. I go after acupuncture most Thursdays and get their bowl of soup which comes with yummy foccacia, then a dessert and a drink if I'm feeling spendy. Even when I get the drink the total is only $7.50 for a filling meal, plus drink and dessert. I'm already looking forward to this coming Thursday...

I know the econimics of scale are way different, but I've been budgeting $2 a day for food. I can eat for a week what you would spend at Sweetpea.

But it'd be worth it. I miss their big cookies. And the brunch is pretty cool.

I want Sweetpea!
Since we live so far out of town, Sweetpea brunch is all rare and special.

Whoa...I had a microwave brownie for lunch today (using the recipe you linked to), and it is all your fault!!!

It was yummy, though!
