The IOP Pdoc was perfectly nice. He is just a nurse practitioner so I don't trust him as much as I trust my Pdoc who is a neuropsychiatrist. But he did say we have some wiggle room with the Latuda if we need to go up on the dose. At least he was on time and the appointment didn't take too long (since I'm at work!).

Got home early from work! Not sure what to do with myself, though. The problem with having down time is that it results in me missing my BF more intensely.

I like fruit and consume a lot of it but I don't like most fruit cooked. Every so often a blueberry muffin perhaps and if apples are going soft or mealy I can put them in my oatmeal -but I prefer the plain fruit to most dessert fruit applications. I would only dessert my fruit in non-ordinary situations.

That sounds like a fruit crime

I've heard it both ways, both apple crisp and apple crumble. IDK which is correct. maybe they are slightly different. The picture comrade showed looked crumbly. Most apple crisps that I have had haven't had the struessel looking topping on them.

I didn't get to really cry today. I think I'm going to explode at some point. I'm so sad and depressed. I miss L already. I'm so glad she loved the blanket. She bought me a candle for our first lighting. I just want to curl up in a corner and fade away.

I've never heard of a crisp, only crumble, apple or otherwise.

I personally wouldn't go for an apple pie or crumble because I don't like soft apples, cooked or uncooked. I would definitely take blueberry or cherry though. There's a brand of dairy from near here, Tillamook, that makes the best Marionberry Pie ice cream with little bits of pie crust in it. It's way too easy to eat so I can't buy it too often.

I'm guessing they don't like patients turning up stoned and not knowing for sure what they are on.

Only difference is apple crisp topping includes stuff like oats or nuts (so it’s crispier). They can both have streusel topping.

That's what my H said.

I asked in this local mom's group, and someone (who said she used to be a radiology tech) said you can't legally consent to anything while on valium. That seems really weird to me, as some people take prescribed benzos daily (my aunt did for years via prescription). Does that mean they can never consent to anything legally?

Yes, when my mom made apple crisp, it involved oats. And was great heated with vanilla ice cream on it! I've also had it in restaurants with walnuts, too.

Well, now I want apple crisp...

Home from the ENT. No infection, and I won't go into the gross details about my visit. The pressure is gone, I can hear again, and that makes me very happy!! (And that was definitely a new experience for me.)

ArtieTheSequal · Sep 14, 2021 at 06:37 PM

Oh warm apple crisp sounds absolutely delightful!!

ArtieTheSequal · Sep 14, 2021 at 06:49 PM

I just saw an ad for gingerbread cookie flavored kit kats!

Marion Berry? Whats in it, cocaïne? He was mayor of Washington DC back in the day until he got too high.

I agree! People are always like, "put your peaches and pineapples on the bbq!" I just dont get it. Or jaques pepin smears some prunes on a slice of pastry and goes, oh best dessert just like my mother used to make! Im like, really?

If it doesnt come in a box that says Awry's, its not dessert. Is that the greatest name for a bakery or what? "My dessert has gone awry!" Its the michigan version of the saying, have your cake and eat it too.

Remember Bill Knapps 's? Might be a michigan thing. An out of state coworker found they served warm apple pie with their own cinnamon ice cream. This was late 70's. So good.

My building has a garden, it opens through the restaurant on the ground floor. Someone found an adolescent pup on its own there this morning. No one claimed him and he doesn’t have a microchip. The building manager called the local shelter but they’re full and can’t take him till mid-November—so for the next two months at least I am hosting a dog.

He’s very sweet, well-trained. Not full grown yet, probably be a large size (I can’t tell the breed). Afraid of doors though.
