These look yummy. But that dose of sugar sounds a bit alarming - how much is your weekly dose?


Yeah, just saw it, but no info on the actual surprise (like my post). ;-P


Indeed and in the spirit of the season!

You see the little bit of colour in the center of the marzipan?

well that's a sweet paste filling that traditionally comes in two flavours. Sweet potato or egg yolk.

Delicious but so much sugar...


Well let me see, I think I need to bring out the calculator for this one. Carry the one, minus the square root of the mole, substract the starch, that doesn't count. Hrrm I need to look up how much load those dumpster trucks carry...

I'd say about half a metric bajillion.

Look at it this way, those confections are an outer layer of marzipan, which is an almond paste with sugar, wrapped around a core of sweet paste made of either sweet potato, with sugar or yolk, with sugar.

Welp; I'm in the mood to horribly and continuously die for an hour or so. See you later.

Now if I could only figure what I have to do after killing that giant.

Just realized the Twitch thing starts at 3am my time. That's most unusual. Guess I'll miss the first few hours. ;)

Yay, I beat the game. Again. Go me. Total nailbiter there, didn't know if I'd make it through....-laughs-

Good game, especially for their first effort, but dear gods, do they shoot themselves in the foot on that final run. Annoying enough that I almost didn't finish, given that I've beaten it before.

Dragonfall, DOW 2 - Retribution, Nosferatu, Stealth Bastard Deluxe, System Shock 2, Halfway, Nexus, and finishing up Escape Goat and Anomaly Defenders.

Hope the rest helps you to feel better. The less people who have to be sick, the better.
Goodnight, sleep well when you get there. =)

Hope you sleep well, all the advice you gave me applies to you too. Get well.

Turns out I don't need to go anywhere. My sister's family is coming to my house. Anxiety attack averted :-)
This is shaping up to be a mostly-stress free holiday for me. A pleasant change.

Good to hear. =) Always nice when the scenario comes to you so you can at least be in your comfort zone for it.

Only 53 hours, 57 minutes to go. (For this time zone, at least.)

My last visit was days ago and I lost the thread of the thread. :-)
I guess most of you are in bed trying to get warm and today is already late.
Anyway I need this chance to pop here to say hello and wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Edit: I see now that some of the most faithful are here.

This thread doesn't even have the thread of a thread. ;)
Happy holidays to you! :-)

Hey there, good evening. =)
Not in bed yet, need to see if there's going to be another sale tomorrow....
Have a happy end of the year blah-blah too. =)

Thanks for dropping in, and Merry Christmas to you!

(I desperately tried to think of something else interesting to say, but I've got nothing :P)

Thank you guys!
Don't worry! I got myself staring at the screen for minutes and the only thing I managed to say was "Thank you guys!" :-D

I've been having fun switching effortlessly between my natural Southern accent and my trained neutral accent. Drives my brother nuts. Any of you changed your accent like I have?
