Haha! Nice.

I've been on world of warcraft all day. Well, most of it. Had to finish leveling eh.

[mirocu]

Is WoW still a thing? How many expansion paks are out now?

[Sakiri]

Yes. This is number.... 8. Yes, 8.

It's ok, EverQuest 2 is working on I think 17? And EQ 1 still gets them I think too.

[mirocu]

EverQuest 2? I thought that was cancelled?


Gotta stop listen to a British man who eats food that expired in the 50s...

[Sakiri]

Nope, it's still going.

Must buy stuff. Need to make an apple pie.

[mirocu]

Must come. Need to eat apple pie.



WITH CUSTARD!!

[Sakiri]

Yas.

Making a full blown thanksgiving dinner, subbing chicken for Turkey because our 50 cm wide oven won't fit one. I couldn't find a breast.

[mirocu]

Huh. Thanksgiving in November. You know the real Thanksgiving was a month ago?

[Sakiri]

Not in America it wasn't.

[mirocu]

Not in America it wasn't.

[Insert pic of Barney getting upset that Robin called Canadian Thanksgiving "the real" one]




Sleep now

[Sakiri]

Lol.

Yes, sleep.

[Decrepit]

Called my bro late this afternoon. I mean I called him by his name....but made the call this afternoon. OK? Anyway, I let him know that he's on his own tomorrow, me not wanting to risk exposure to C19 what with cases skyrocketing. Oddly, I don't feel bad about bailing on him, thinking that our not eating T-day lunch together breaks a decades-old tradition. Then I recalled that he bailed on me T-day maybe three/four years ago. Still, considering our ages (he's younger) we can't have all that many more T-days meals together in the best of scenarios. With us not getting together I'll treat tomorrow's lunch as a normal Thursday lunch, a Wowbutter & sugar-free blueberry jam sammich on 100% whole grain wheat bread along with a small glass of milk and a half-apple for dessert.

Bummer you don't get to see him.

I'm just enduring food coma myself.

Gotta ask, how does one make sugar free jam?

The sheer amount of sugar you use to make jam, using that much artificial sweetener, I'd have the runs just thinking about eating it. :/

Purple Jam!


...No, never listened to them..

[Sakiri]

lol

Hey, Saks! You're a Murican and so you should be able to verify this, said by an alleged fellow Murican:

Jelly = No fruity bits
Jam = Small, pasty fruity bits
Preserves = Big fruity bits


True or False??

[Sakiri]

Technically jelly is made using juice rather than whole fruit. I've never actually known a difference between jam and preserves. The jam here has giant horking strawberry chunks in it though.

Well, here you go:

In jelly, the fruit comes in the form of fruit juice. Jelly has the smoothest consistency and is usually clear.
In jam, the fruit comes in the form of fruit pulp or crushed fruit. This makes jam less stiff than jelly.
In preserves, the fruit comes in the form of chunks in a gel or syrup. Preserves will have more fruit in them than jam will. Marmalade is a type of preserve with citrus fruits in it.

It comes down to picking your poison, I suppose. One thing about artificial sweeteners, unless I've overlooked something they don't (normally?) contribute to tooth decade, which sugar certainly does. Of course the foods/drinks they are partnered with might well negate that. But then it's still less risky, tooth wise, than those same foods/drinks with sugar.

Yeah, it's confusing. Articles I've read on the subject often contradict each other.

[Sakiri]

Artificial sweetener gives me gastric issues in large amounts. With how much jam I eat when I'm on a jam kick, I'd be on the can for days.

But if you've got tooth issues, yeah I could see that. I just brush after sweet stuff.

Speaking of teeth, husband likes to take rocks and present to have lost a tooth. Dude breaks his often, he needs to not mess with me like that.
