If it does, just say OH NOES!

Cursed Internets.

Mmn, pizza. I steamed salmon and cauliflower for dinner. It was good.

Crap. It occurs to me now.

If I eat this pizza--which I will have to consume some portion of as I have now ordered it and there is no going back--I will feel guilty about weight. I will feel fat and oooooh. I will attempt to justify it by having period descend upon me like the plague. Yes, that Plague. But instead of locusts, Ovaries.

So, I was sitting down to Die Hard and eating pizza (ham, sausage, mushroom) and chocolate cake, wondering what barbelith was up to. Apparently, it's just the right kinda night for pizza at various points of the globe.

Kali, you don't have to feel fat. Consume a reasonable amount of pizza and then save the rest for leftovers.

mmm...now I want chocolate, or maybe cheesecake. Ofcourse I want cheesecake 99.9% of the time. yeah raspberry cheesecake smothered in a chocolate rum sauce.

Had cheesecake last night with Bristol cream for dessert. It was very good. GOD, I spend a lot of time thinking about food.

I know I don't have to feel fat, but I just will.

But dagnabbit, I am hungry.

Cheesecake sounds very nice, too. Stupid ovaries.
 
 
Deculture Decedent
05:26 / 20.07.07
I miss cheesecake. Only let myself have it (or other milk-heavy treats) on very rare occasions. 'Rare occasions' being code for 'times I see it advertised in store/restaurant and consume on autopilot.'

Apparently got a steady flow of work-related e-mails while attending the cake, pizza, and movie... and they climax in not approving or rejecting the new pages, just dancing around the issue a lot. So productive. I get paid either way, though, so who knows why this bothers me. Why does this bother me?

But instead of locusts, Ovaries.

OMG! A swarm of ovaries with wings! That is a sure sign of the apocolypse.

Good evening all.

So..Kali can has has cheezeburgr but noes to has pza?
just wrong

Papers, when you mention Bristol Cream, I thought of the Bristol Myers, pharmaceuticle company and some of the strange smelling creams they made. Never want to put those on cheesecake.
 
 
Keggers From The Crypt
05:29 / 20.07.07
Hey M.O.! How's you?
 
 
Papess
05:29 / 20.07.07
I ate a rumball today. I don't really like them that much. I prefered the cannoli from yesterday. All creamy, clove-hinted ricotta...mmmm
 
 
Keggers From The Crypt
05:32 / 20.07.07
When making Rumballs, use a syringe to fill the balls with rum. Aka, the explanation for one of the times I was drunk in college.

As a little boy, rumballs were the best thing ever. They still are. I used to have tantrums when it wasn't Christmas and I couldn't have them. It's the only time I was really that much of a monster child.

I've got to write a thousand words to write tonight. Plus, I'm going to start reading Icelander.
 
 
Papess
05:32 / 20.07.07
I'm good Venger.

...maybe that is allspice, or a combo, either way, it is all enveloped in a light yet crispy pastry tube ...drool
 
 
Keggers From The Crypt
05:32 / 20.07.07
Damn... now I want rumballs. Grrr!
 
 
Papess
05:33 / 20.07.07
Wow. Is there a rumball 12 step program? Maybe there should be.

I love that I have made this thread food-oriented.

Still waiting on pizza. My address makes this somewhat weird and problematic. (Though it should not be.)

Why? Do you live in an ivory tower, cursed never to walk the naked Earth again? Or is it a basement suite?
 
 
Keggers From The Crypt
05:36 / 20.07.07
Step one. Get Rumballs.
Step two. Eat Rumballs.
Step Three to twelve: Repeat step one and two.

This program I could endorse. And would buy the company.
 
 
Deculture Decedent
05:46 / 20.07.07
While Venger has sold me on the idea, and I'm fully prepared to put down cold hard cash into some stock in the company... what's a rumball like, then? I'm almost certain I've lived my whole life without ever putting the words 'rum' and 'ball' together, much less made a holiday treat out of it.

Well, for one thing - "lepton" and "quark" as fundamental particles of matter? No, shit, sorry, fundamentally matter is made up of rumballs. Or it should be. And I should be allowed to eat the universe.

They're sort of chocolate spheroids with rum infused into the chocolate dough-matter. Well, secretly they're made of light itself, coolled down and then baked into orbs of happiness.
 
 
Papess
05:50 / 20.07.07
I am a mere chocolate sprinkle in your universe, Papers.
 
 
Keggers From The Crypt
05:51 / 20.07.07
Its sort of like a spherical brownie although more moist due to the rum.
 
 
Keggers From The Crypt
05:53 / 20.07.07
fundamentally matter is made up of rumballs

does that mean dark rum is used to make darkmatter?
 
 
Deculture Decedent
05:54 / 20.07.07
Oh. I've had cakes like that - in fact, made cakes like that - but I've never seen it in miniature. That's kinda cool.

Yes. You can't see it, then it sneaks up on you and WHAM! Suddenly you're drunk.

They're usually covered in chocolate sprinkles. Except that, here on the island, you can get them about the size of a person's palm, and they have weird hard-chocolate shells rather than the sprinkles.
 
 
Papess
05:58 / 20.07.07
HAH! Drunk my ass! No mere rumball is going to get me drunk. PAHleeze! I don;t actually like rum, anyway.

I must find a way to make voldkaballs. Mmm.

However, ATM, I have a craving for squid.
 
 
Papess
06:01 / 20.07.07
they have weird hard-chocolate shells


What Island is this? Wow. You may be selling me one this, Papers. A chocolate egg filled with a rum soaked brownie. Now you're talkin'!
 
 
Deculture Decedent
06:01 / 20.07.07
Somewhere, quantum rum physics has assured that a parallel-universe me is not writing a story in their head about desserts evolving protective shells to survive hard island living and extrapolating it into birthing ante-matter protorum chocolate chaos.
 
 
Keggers From The Crypt
06:02 / 20.07.07
Now I want sushi. From the place I used to get it. I believe it was the "Combo D". mmmmm

Rum balls are made of thus: make a chocolate ganache equal parts rum, cream, and lotsa high quality chocolate. Soft enough to harden, but not too hard as to be unusuable. When you have frozen the ganache--and because ganache has is partly cream, you will not find this improbable and not too solid--take an ice cream scoop and carve large curls of chocolate into "balls." Works best if you have cool hands. When you have carved most of the semi-frozen chocolate into balls placed onto a cookie sheet with nonstick parchment or foil, then roll balls into mixture of crushed wafers and rum. Refrigerate.

Enjoy!

This pizza is excellent, by the way.
 
 
Papess
06:06 / 20.07.07
I knew you were eating it.

Gosh I love sushi, and so does my son. I found these chopstick holders for kids, since he has a little trouble with them.
