Yey for Yakult!

by | Posted in Thoughts | 13 Comments

Do you still remember Yakult? I think the very first big scientific term I learned was “lactobacillishirotastrain.” And then I remember seeing a commercial which had several frames on a microscopic view of something (lactobacilli I guess?) and thinking yuckkkk!

What the hell is that?! That, my friend, was my favorite meal at Pancake House — the Roast Beef Sandwich.

Perhaps […] Read more…

Hi Husby!

Can I just say that I love my husband very much? He always makes sure I’m well-fed even if I say I’m watching my diet. He makes me laugh when I’m in the sourest of moods, teaching me not to be too high-strung. He pampers me like a little princess and puts up with my […] Read more…
