Cream centered

Okay, this is disgusting (SFW, but disgusting). Don't get me wrong, I used to love Cadbury Cream Eggs (before they changed the recipe). But the idea of drinking two of them in a can of pop? Ew.

My first one-on-one drumming lesson is tonight. I'm hoping my friend can help me out with some basic technique stuff. The one thing I took away from last month's drum workshop in KC is that I am sorely lacking in actual playing technique and if I want to get good at this, I need to learn some technique before I start trying the fancy stuff.

I'm on something of a contaminant-purge, and so have stopped taking all supplements that contain suspicious ingredients (fructose and tapioca starch in Emergen-C, for example). This means I'm no longer taking ibuprofen, either, since all the brands I've found use corn starch as a base. Guess what time of the month it is now? This is my second cycle sans-analgesics, and folks, it is not getting easier. Ugh and ouch.

Liberty Hall had Singin' in the Rain in stock (although the copy has some damage). It was great to watch it with [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick for his first viewing of it. So charming to experience that with someone who hasn't ever seen it, or many old musicals at all. I'm frequently amazed at how very different were our childhoods. The only thing we shared in common is that we were both human children--and there are times (most times, really) when I question even that.

New due South icon, btw. <3

Maybe you got some of the ones that are produced for the non-US market?

Partner says he bought them from Walgreens. o.O

Erm. Hm. I don't know. So does this one, when you open it, actually run like an egg? Or is it sorta like frosting? Because the old ones were actually runny. Enough that they were tricky to eat.

It did, just like the ones I'd have back home. I wonder if it's because it was warm outside though? Although the chocolate wasn't melted, it was room temp. IDK. I *have* come across ones where the fondant was like, almost solid, and that pissed me off.

Maybe you just got lucky.

Heehee... 'got lucky'.

I'm pleased you picked up on the innuendo, despite jumping comment threads.

I'm ADD, this is how I function. :P
