And I read some fiction online, not just here, I hope, LOL.

Wishing you continue to recover as the year progresses. Take good care of yourself. Having good feelings, some mental pleasure, is half of getting well, or so I've found.

is very very good while watching a Turner Classic Movie, and very good while watching Fringe, and good together while reading trashy tabloids/style magazines. keyboards and some magazines get sticky. YMMV, but yum..

we had chili for dinner tonight, and i did eat a chocolate fudgesicle about 2 hrs later...hmmm

chilli. Tasted it once... Love to get my hands on it again.

Aztec Chili Hot Chocolate

1 2/3 cups milk
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 red chili pepper, split with seeds removed
1 cinnamon stick, around 3-4"
1 1/2 oz chocolate (bittersweet)

Simmer milk in a saucepan with vanilla bean, cinnamon and chili. Heat through for about a minute. Whisk in grated chocolate, and continue to simmer until melted. Remove from heat and let 'steep' for another 10 minutes. Strain out the spices and serve. Serves 2.

Comida Mexicana is the food of the gods for me.

too.

the people were except for the major movie stars.

oh wait, you said guilty pleasures, not guilty pleasuring...

my bad.

And I have been accused of being "a foodie".

Go figure.

I still love it, eight years later. I follow it on a few websites, watch sneak peeks, and read spoilers. I'm a sucker for the Meredith/Derek love affair (now marriage).

And, it comes back after a two-month break...tomorrow!

There. I said it.

I know...it's just a sitcom.

But I've always had a sneaker for Valerie Bertinelli and Peri Gilpin.

And it's on in fifteen minutes!!

....forty years ago.

Today? Not so much.

It's like a trainwreck that has to be watched.

While I dislike the contrived reality show drama (like Dave and Jerrod getting up in each others faces), I like it because it is kind of a cross between "Antiques Roadshow" and "Let's Make A Deal." You don't quite know what anyone is getting in a locker, but you see some lockers where they find some interesting stuff. My favorite was when Dave Hester bought $29K in brand new vending machines for $1350.

I eat red meat only a few times a year, but now and then I go on a binge and crave the salty/fatty taste of cured meats.

There is probably some connection...

I have 4 boxes in the freezer.
