It's kind of hard to share because the ingredients are short but it's long on fiddly steps.  It's in volume 1 of the How Can it Be Gluten Free Cookbook.

Basically you melt one pound of chocolate with 1 cup of butter and 1/4 coffee in the microwave.  Beat 8 eggs for about 8 minutes on high until very thick.  Fold eggs in batches into the melted chocolate mixture.  Put in 325 degree oven in a springform pan that is in a water bath for 45 minutes.  Take out and let cool down for 45 minutes before transferring to a rack for 45 more minutes.  Then chill for 12 hours.  (The long chill time is absolutely necessary for it to set.)

Svengo!

I'll make you a trifle and then you can decide if they should go together or not.

If I saw these frogs (that sound like strangled ducks and are probably mating but so what) face to face, I’d probably think they were cute and let them live.  But right now I want to use them as dissection specimen in a science lab because they’d be dead and at least I could sleep.

Nocturnal frogs that quack like ducks.  That’s some weird stuff right there. 

I still like Florida, though.❤️❤️❤️

We have very small frogs with a very loud croak. We used to have a frog we called Roger. We never saw him, but he lived under our bedroom window.

That's also why I like workout programs. If it's my intention to work out everyday then I will get to it eventually, but with P90X Monday is chest and back and you have to do chest and back on Monday because Tuesday is Plyometrics, Wednesday is shoulders and arms Thursday is Yoga, Friday is legs and back and Saturday is Kempo so if you miss Monday then the entire week is screwed up so you have to go do it! It's the rules.

Good morning.

Took ds13 for his scout physical yesterday. Found out he has mild scoliosis. Also that he has grown 4 inches in the past year and is exactly my height at tho moment. Which means he will outgrow me by next week.

Doing some research on scoliosis, seems neurotransmitters may be involved in its development. Which we already know are out of whack because of genetics.

Have a referral to a specialist.

I have no self control. That's why I like Whole30. There are rules and I can't break the rules! I don't need self control because those things are not an option. My brain is weird.

Rules are A Thing for some people. My sister finds it almost impossible to break rules.

My brain is like "what's a rule"? Totally lacks the concept.

Yeah, see, I’m like Maize that way. The more rules something has, the less likely I am to follow them. Which in some ways is completely opposite to my personality. So, i’m Not sure what to say about that.

The 70s do get a bad rap don't they!  Did anything good come out of the 70s?  (Besides some of us, of course!)

I almost was a product of the 70's.  I missed it by 5 months (in the older way, not the younger way I turn 50 in July).   I like trifle.  I discovered it at a wedding I think.  Sooooo yummy.  It was all chocolaty goodness.    I also like 70's music, even the super campy story songs (The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia).

My childhood nicknames were doodlebug and honey bun.  And Dottie, which my mother still calls me.

It has taken massive self control over the years to get out of bed each morning and to tackle my day. I also use self control in my eating, physical therapy and in refraining from using a bazooka on certain people. It always irritates me when people assume that I don’t have self control. 

I get it.

It's like when people assume my husband is lazy because he struggles with chronic fatigue and depression.

Truly, milady, all ye olde cookery receipts do require Cool Whip. 😉

So here's the thing. DH's car overheated Monday night. It's been in the shop since then, and he has been working from home. My brain is a weird little beehive and I can't do things while he's home even if he's mostly in his office. (I also can't sleep when someone else is awake anywhere in the house.) He is adorable and my very best spousie and all that, but this is the ONLY WEEK THIS YEAR that DS is out of the house. Plus I didn't feel well yesterday. So I've done like 20 hours of work (cleaning, food prep, school prep, church committee), which is something, but not enough and not what I intended. I finally told him today that I will be driving him to work tomorrow if his car isn't fixed.

Cost of having the break pads replaced: $400

Cost of doing it ourselves: $25

 

If we die in a car accident you need not wonder why.

 

Eta: We will make sure it's a quiet car accident for Susan.
