I'm not high or anything, I've just got a wicked sweet tooth going right now. I should've maybe claimed I was high.

It is like cement and will harden in your alimentary canal and bring you to para-nirvana where there is no more problems and your primordial and perfect awareness will reveal itself as timeless and non-dual.
Enjoy!

I always get the worst sweet teeth at night.
The worst.

(332 posts)off and on for many many years when I get a certain chocolate craving, I have opened a box of dry brownie mix and eaten some. Make sure you don't inhale while putting it in your mouth or you will have a huge coughing fit.
Take care

(620 posts)Contrary to popular belief, German chocolate cake did not originate in Germany . Its roots can be traced back to 1852 when American Sam German developed a type of dark baking chocolate for the American Bakers Chocolate Company. The brand name of the product, Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate, was named in honor of him.
On June 3rd, 1957, a recipe for "German's Chocolate Cake" appeared as the "Recipe of the Day" in the Dallas Morning Star. . . <more at link>

(54,057 posts)Same thing happened when a chef named French started making is own kind of toast. Only Republicans never got it, and started calling it "Freedom Toast," in order to insult the French, who had never heard of "French Toast" in the first place. The French had never heard of "French fries" either, as they were a Belgian invention that caught on in France. They were after the Americans for decades to stop calling them "French" fries, and were completely baffled when the U.S. Congress stopped calling them French fries--not because they thought they were doing the French a favor, but in order to insult them. They just rolled their eyes and paraphrased Astérix: "Ils sont fous, ces américains!"

But yuk....that can't be good for you.

(23,864 posts)It wasn't so bad, though. I mean, it wasn't good, but it wasn't super horrible either.
Almost up to the 24 hour mark and I have biscuits and gravy and coffee behind it so hopefully the train cars will be pushing themselves on down the line. At least I know my duodenum doesn't feel like it's blocked.
