Thanks to the inspiration of this lil’ thread (I actually said out loud, “Oh, my God. I have _milk._ I can make a mac’n’chz box!”) I have had a lovely, richly satisfying, and oh-so-salty dinner.

Oh, and I had a slice of whole wheat toast with peanut butter for breakfast before work!

I feel like accounting myself somehow, somewhere, about having eaten something, is helpful.

Once you got old enough to know better, it wasn’t something you really sought out. How did it become something people rave about?

Now imma sit outside and listen to the crickets and tree frogs. They’re in full chorus tonight.
