I made laxative-causing brownies last night.

from the box that juan left. they are "carb safe" apparently, and that is the problem. probably full of olestra crap. i have nothing against carbs. i love carbs. everyone else in america hates them and fears for my protein consumption. but i see nothing wrong with them, and in fact, call real brownies, full of fats, oils, carbs, etc. - "real" food.

anyway, here's the full story:

i went out and bought eggs, veggie oil, and borrowed the right size pan from mama so I could finally cook the things and get rid of the box. and while they were baking (and i'd already nibbled and licked the spoon & bowl of brownie mix - yummy, by the way) i read the little itsy bitsy note at the bottom:

Over-consumption of this product may cause abdominal pain and have a laxative effect.

.


WHAT?!

i thought all i had to worry about was salmonella from the raw egg i just consumed!

so the brownies are there at home, untouched. i'll probably bring them to work tomorrow and my unknowing coworkers will be taking a few more mini-breaks than usual.

i can't even believe companies manufacture food that is supposed to be a yummy treat and it causes abdominal pain, nevermind the runs!

what a trippy world we live in.

so, other than that, not much else is new. i'm also really sick of spaghetti, by the way.
