[toomuchpurple]

i scoffed at the claim, but annie's mac n cheese white cheddar shells... may in fact... now be even cheesier

[drugstoreperfumed]

can they make dairy free mac and cheese that doesn’t taste like melted plastic

[raven]

My roommate was like "can i make a box of your Annie's white cheddar and shells mac and cheese, i dont feel like leaving the house tonight and i dont have anything for dinner. I'll buy you a box to replace it next time im at the store" im like ok. I got that box for like 70 cents (#KROGERSALE), i forgot about it slash am purposely avoiding it bc i need vegetables and feel good about myself these days. well that night she went out anyway so Lol, and then she went to the store today and i see... hmm.. 6 boxes of wegmans mac and cheese ZERO boxes of Annie's white cheddar and shells! Im so mad!! She didn't buy me a fucking replacement box!! it's about the principle of the thing.

Hi M!

I have some questions for you inspired by the Office Ladies podcast—

What was your first job?

What languages do you speak?

What is a place you have been to that you love?

What is your favorite midnight snack?

Hi Kat,

Thank you so much for the ask, it's been fun to see everyone's answers! I'm going to start out of order to include a fun photo above the cut. <3

One of my favourite places to visit is called Elkhorn Slough. It's a really lovely wetland area on the central CA coast where a lot of southern sea otters (as well as other wildlife) live. Weather permitting, you're able to rent kayaks and go and paddle around and watch them and it's very peaceful (if you discount the stress of juggling a giant camera+lens combo in a dry bag and the warning that otters sometimes like to get up on the kayaks). There's a fun succulent nursery and a restaurant that serves a nice cioppino nearby, so you can make it a day trip full of several of fun stops! Whenever I know I'm going to be leaving the area for a while, I try and make the trip because it feels very quintessentially California to me.

First job - The first full-time job I had was working at a chain bakery. Some things that my friends knew me for back then as a result were: a. Always being able to procure reject cupcakes for snacking b. Paying for everything in my tip money (mostly singles and coins) that was stuffed in a wax paper bag from the bakery instead of a wallet.

Languages - English is my first language and I speak Spanish fairly confidently. I have also studied small drips of a variety of other languages but none of them have really stuck.

Favourite Midnight Snack - If we're talking something very naughty in the middle of the night, I've been known to make a pot of mac and cheese as a more substantive midnight meal (specifically Annie's white cheddar shells if I'm stateside). But if it's something light, I really like dried apricots! And maybe a few gummy bears. hehe.

I know you've answered these questions in your replies to a few folks, so I'll change it up a little — what's one place you think you'll love but you haven't had the chance to visit yet? And if you're up for answering two, what has been your favourite job you've had?

I hope you had a great week! ✨

Wellness Wednesday:

Snacky Mood

Truly...

The highlight of my week was eating racks of BBQ Ribs... followed by meatballs... and Chicken Enchiladas... I probably should not of... but I did.

And don't forget about the deli meats and cheeses - lordy - you'd think I had guests to entertain with my charcuterie game.

And of course the week after I declare that I want to finish my Year of Wellness strong - I get in a snacky mood.

I will need to buckle down a bit more with my meals and portions.

Oh, well... c'est la vie feast, amirite?!

Closing Thoughts:

The Good:

Had some enjoyment reading - read a slew of Digital Comics and been burning through a hardcover book. Feels were that I made that distinction - "hardcover" book - but hey, I had to go all the way to local library for it.

The Bad:

With the end in sight - I am getting incredibly snacky... thus hurting my resolution to "finish the year strong".

The Ugly:

This Quest for Sleep feels Never Ending and making a little... cranky.

[eyeslikewatercoolers]

23, 34, and 51 please !!!!!

Of course!!

23: Do you have piercings? How many?

None, but I had my ears pierced as a kid. They kept getting infected and I was allergic to a lot of metal, so I let them close up. I’m not really a piercing person

34: Who/what was your last dream about?

I met a tumblr friend irl (i know what they look like) and we went to an Icesis show! I wish that dream was real 😭 (also I never told this person lmao)

51: Favourite food?

Macaroni and Cheese (Sharp white cheddar if it’s homemade, Annie’s white cheddar shells if it’s the box one)

[athymelyreply]

Work needs to stop being such a bitch. And I need to be given a big bowl of Annie’s white cheddar shells Mac n cheese. I deserve it.
