  • Called in to work to say that I'd finally be coming in today after wrestling with being sick over the past few days. Instead, they told me to forget about showing up and to just enjoy having a normal day off. Yesssss.

    Like rice, but actually has nutrients and is good for you when cooked appropriately (ie not slathered in butter and salt). Sometimes confused with couscous.

    Not only did I find a pizza website that makes gluten free pizzas (I've been baffled about pizza toppings and making my own for a while), but one of their stores is in Darwin. Pizzzzzza.

    Dude, cauliflower crust is amazing. Google it and give it a shot. I also like (who am I kidding, I freaking love it) a 'meatza.' Basically it's just hamburger/mince beef shaped as a giant patty and pizza toppings on it.
    I've seen one of those made by Nigella, It looked freaking amazing!

    I saw them selling that Couch Potato flavour, the one with the chocolate coated potato chips. They'll really put anything in those pints @_@

    I never thought just passing the time would turn into a four hour conversation. I love my friends, I really do. I started on a new resumé tonight and I've lots of revisions to make for tomorrow. I'm going to bite the bullet and get in contact with Fair Work Australia too. I know it's the right thing to do but damn do I feel guilty about it. Also, strawberries (and cream).

    (Seriously, more companies need to realize the power of software developers with access to a VPN and STOP PUTTING US IN CUBICLES. But that's for a proper rant, and boy do I have plenty of bile for that one.)

    Extra rave just to balance it out: Kushiel's Dart is an amazing book, and I am so tempted to steal more than a few points from Melisande Shahrizai's character. So <3 And an awesome boyfriend for getting it for me <3

  • i was hired today for a long-term band sub gig. I sign paperwork on Friday (and find out the actual start date, right now it's just 'mid-January' (he's having back surgery which, if it results in fusion, is up to 6 weeks of work for me) GG CASHMONIES!

    The Kushiel Legacy is one of my all-time favorite series of books!! I honestly read it because my girlfriends did and they were just into sex books basically, but it really turned out to be a wonderfully rich, compelling story with good character development and a fascinating world. Keep reading it, Melisande's character only gets better, and so does Phedres.

    I just found a caffeinated chocolate bar at the supermarket. And it's kosher.

    Just out of curiosity... what differentiates kosher chocolate from non-kosher chocolate? Pretty much all chocolate I know is made from cow milk, has no meat products in it, etc.

  • Iocun said:

    Here's a brief explanation.
  • I would also add that many things without kosher certification are probably kosher, but 'probably' is not good enough. Kosher food items made on equipment also used for non-kosher food, for example, become non-kosher. So if a chocolate or candy company manufactures a product with marshmallows (which contain gelatin, an animal product), anything else on that line could cease to be kosher.

    There may also be a bug-checking protocol for cacao beans; bugs are a problem with getting many bagged vegetables and fruits certified.

    Not all chocolate is made with cow's milk. I believe a lot of dark chocolate is purely cocoa.

    Whee typo.

  • @Kyrra Chocolate without milk wouldn't be any more problematic kashrut-wise than chocolate with it, though milk from non-kosher animals would make it non-kosher.
