- Ghiradelli reduced its hot chocolate and cocoa powders from 16-oz to 10.5 oz for the same price. (I use their sweet ground chocolate to make my morning soy mochas and am quite cranky about this development. Also, the actual sweet ground chocolate in the new container doesn’t even look the same. Bah.)

Reading Update
Hockey Abstract by Rob Vollman. Good introductory book on hockey statistics – I’ll probably have to reread it a few times for the concepts to stick.
Mayhem looking contemplatively out the window, all artistic like. 😀
*Sigh* Goodreads 🙁
But autocorrect made it better
Mayhem has the best window seat.
Chris, have you made cauliflower rice? I’m not sure it would work in my food processor but I want to give it a try.

I love that the Mental Floss post about color is authored by Amanda Green.
We used to have a cat (Zoot by name) who was the world’s champion at ceiling staring.

Hey Chris–Thanks for the link love! They are tasty cookies. I made them again today. 😉 A slightly different version.
Love the interview. I can’t believe you ONLY put in 5 or 6 hours a week on this blog. You are definitely a blogging whiz kid!
Love the artsy Mayhem photo, too. Beautiful.
Now I have to read those tips for NaNoWriMo. I’ve always been intrigued by that event, but haven’t taken the plunge yet …
Have a great weekend!

This sounds like a plug, but I’m just a subscriber and fan of both MF and BW.
*SIGH* GoodReads *SIGH*
