Good to see that you're back into normal college student eating habits =P

Yeah. Last night, Kristen and I made something called "Pot de Creme." The recipe goes something like this:
2 cups heavy cream
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
6 ozs semisweet chocolate
1 tsp vanilla

slowly bring to a boil (across about ten minutes) everything but the yolks and vanilla. Beat the egss and vanilla. Pour the cream and chocolate, after boiling, slowly into the beaten eggs yolks while mixing. Chill for four hours. Kill yourself or guests with the amount of wonderful fat in this delightful dessert! So, yeah, definitely still eating like we live on campus;)

Mensch,

Nice to see color in your cartoons now! It's like the late 60's all over again.

Um... so MEndon's sight remembers me- but the sites with the one box to check remember me? don't. I have to type in and scroll through all the mistakes I've ever made in typing my name and e-mail. I like this way best.
Mensch- do you have a strainer for loose tea?

Rae, I have the same problem! And it varies from computer to computer. Anyone have a fix?

Please tell me you don't eat tomato paste from a can....

I generally only eat tomato paste from the can when I am using it in some other recipe. I feel that tomato paste has a far better flavor than katchup and is only gross because you imagine me eating it in large quantities. Rather, I have only eaten it out of the can once. So, I guess, based on the implication that it is a regular statement, "I do not eat tomato paste from the can."

Rather, I transfer it to a bowl and eat it from there. Of course, having modified it with water and vegetables and usually some pasta and olive oil. Oh, olive oil, how I do love thee! I smell another ode brewing!

I ate Spam straight from the tin instead of tomato paste. And I wrote haiku instead of odes.
