Check-In: Extremely Unimportant Updates

Want to let everybody know two things:

1. The batteries for my keyboard were running low -- I got a pop-up saying so. I replaced the batteries, and the pop-up went away -- one hundred percent. (The batteries are new).

2. Got a bottle of Heinz ketchup for some fries. I thought it was going to leak out that yucky ketchup water, so I left it upside down. Anyway, the ketchup came out just fine, a good consistency. Then I put the leftover fries in a Tupperware; if I have them tomorrow, I'll microwave them first (unless I don't).

Any updates from you all?

Also, I'm happy to take any questions about (1) and (2)

to go with the brisket tomorrow night?

I want to make some cookies tomorrow. I have a lot of chocolate chips so I wonder if I should make peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips, oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips, regular chocolate chip cookies, or all of the above?


hmmmmmm

Remember to spread them out in a bowl or on a plate. If you try to stack the cookies like a tower, they will fall over, and you'll have to clean up the cookies -- AND the crumbs.

I stopped by the store and picked up a package of M & Ms. When I got back to the car I realized that the package said "Sharing Size" but I do not intend to share. Think it will be ok to eat the entire package w/o sharing or should I wait?

Just your regular M&Ms: no peanuts, no peanut butter, no dark chocolate, no almonds, no crispy things.

If they were peanut M&Ms, you should share them -- with friends, a Craiglist post, whatever. But, no offense, no one will come over for the plain ones.

Here is the plan

- You should eat all the M&Ms
- While you are eating them, start drinking, like a lot
- As you start feeling guilty about eating all the M&Ms, the alcohol will kick in
- As soon as you feel bad about getting drink alone (did you buy Sharing Tequila?), you will fall asleep

I am here all night.

I have to be at work early tomorrow. But I am following the rest of your plan, however, and eating them all w/o sharing.

Anyway, I'm going to the Aldi to buy a load of bread tomorrow. They have really great 12-grain bread. You get 24 ounces for $1.29.

Spread some butter on that: mmmmmmmm.
