Re: I've created a monster. *Sherlock spoiler*

  • AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SPOILER ALERT IN TITLE PLEASE.
    Oh sorry!  Watson is married in all the books so I didn't think it was really a spoiler.  :-/
    He's also married in both of the RDJ movies. I wouldn't have thought this was a spoiler, either.

    Although, when the first series debuted here, I was watching with a friend, and Mycroft came on and as soon as he was called 'Mycroft,' I said, 'Oh, Sherlock's brother!' and my friend was like, 'Why did they invent a brother?' I said, 'They didn't, he's in the books,' and he was like, 'ZOMG SPOILER ALERT I HAVEN'T READ THEM ALL YET.' 

    I was like, 'Sweetie, they've been out for more than a century, there's a statute of limitations on claiming spoilers.'

  • I know it seems odd that the Cookie Pusher does not like sweets, but it's a very sad situation. I lost my ability to properly taste sweet in my early teens (the signals from my taste buds to my brain get all crossed up so I can taste sweet for a bite or two before the receptors get overloaded and then everything tastes bitter like burnt coffee - prolonged exposure actually causes me physical pain). I have always been a prolific baker from participating in school bake sales so I just kept on baking and getting better. I bake by smell, and I know what the texture of each dough/batter should be to give me the results that I want. FI taste-tests everything before I gift or sell so I don't send things that taste awful. The downside to this is that FI is nearly 40 lbs heavier now than when we first started dating. Oops!

    And @JCBride2014 is correct - I push the cookies to other people! lol I will, however, devour a bag of French Onion Sun Chips in 2 minutes flat. Mmm... salty goodness...
    I don't have much of a sweet tooth, either. I do LOVE chocolate chip cookies, though, they are my weakness. I prefer the salty snacks. And cheese, I LOVE cheese. I am currently going through withdrawal because I have pretty much eliminate cheese from my diet. SIGH.

  • @pinkcow13 I should give up cheese, but I just can't bear it.

    Trust me, it had been brutal @pumpkinsandturkeys... I've had it here and there this month, but not as much as I usually do. It sucks too because I pack our lunches, and I make FI his sandwich with cheese. It's such a tease

    Oh, I stopped reading as soon as I saw you mention Watson and Wedding, I was too scared to actually finish your post. Also I didn't know he was married because I didn't get into the other Sherlock stuff. :( This was is just too amazing not to watch. :)  So fair enough.

    We normally use low-fat mozzarella on most things.  If you can find cheese with 20% milk fat or less, it's not too bad.  Mozza comes in around 16%MF around here.  It's not all cheeses, but it's something 

  • I also love sherlock and carrot cake

    But, I don't like normal cake really or frosting (just cream cheese frosting).

    Except for the grooms cake, we will be having wedding pie.
