I don't have the "Cats Painting" mug anymore, due to it getting really sticky-gross and unwashable. It's okay, since that was the one Korey liked last year, haha.

[21:58:23] Flami: learning about martyrs: so have you tried any more of the stuff I sent?
[21:59:42] Corey: Maltesers today. basically the same thing as Whoppers, but I like those. I think that leaves Mirage as the only thing I haven't tried, except for the other flavors of Aero and Mars bars
[22:00:42] Flami: shredded pork and shredded salmon!
[22:02:17] Corey: yes, that too. I was looking at the candy. I have that here. the meat stuff is in the kitchen
[22:04:13] Flami: makes sense... according to this jar, you can use it as a sushi topping or as an addition to whatever you'd put on your bread... I don't recommend it
[22:36:24] Corey: what do you recommend then?
[22:44:14] Flami: mixing it in congee, but since neither of us has it, it's okay for a snack or a rushed meal
[22:52:03] Corey: is it like beef jerky? just really ground up for some reason? it doesn't look like something you'd want to eat plain
[22:53:29] Flami: it's KINDA like beef jerky... and while it's not the best PLAIN, it is really good with rice porridge
[22:53:58] Corey: so how do you make that?
[22:56:52] Flami: I've never made it... my mother has, though. I'll link you to whatever I can find on that topic
[23:01:03] Corey: so you just boil some rice and add salt?
[23:01:48] Corey: but you have too cook it for over an hour? yikes
[23:01:56] Corey: stirring occasionally too :P
[23:05:04] Flami: learning about martyrs: yeah... it's a bit labor-intensive :P
[23:13:59] Corey: what about with instant rice? I think that's all we have right now and that surely doesn't take as long
[23:15:05] Flami: I really don't know if that would work...
[23:17:09] Corey: well, that's annoying then! :P
[23:20:53] Flami: well, what do you want me to do about it?
[23:24:13] Corey: alter the method of making it so I can try it out with little to no effort!
[23:32:44] Flami: I don't think it works that way... sorry


Facebook quiz taken from Darren and Jennifer L.:

Leslie just took the "Which Super-Villain Are You?" quiz and the result is Lord Voldemort! You are a really twisted person. You like magic tricks, and in some cases, actually performing some real magic. You dislike kids who say they are better than you. You prefer to instantly kill people, and take in the few seconds watching them die!

Leslie took the What State should I live in? quiz and the result is Florida. You like the sun all the time with slight rain; you like the beach, but not many monuments. (ALL THE TIME?! Most of it, sure!)

Poo nugget for Wednesday, Apr. 8: Dr. Stool Says - Red Infant Poo - Intussuception is a form of intestinal blockage that occurs in infants. It involves one portion of the intestine telescoping into another. While abdominal discomfort is the main symptom, the passage of a viscous reddish-black bowel movement can be an early clue to the diagnosis. The mixture of blood-tinged stool with mucus lends this poo its red currant jelly appearance.
