while most of the food that delifrance sells is pretty uniformly shit, i do confess an unnatural liking for their cheese pastries, which i've been addicted to since, like, the beginning of time. now that i'm back in the ex-lab i seem to eat them with unconscionable frequency on the excuse that i'm only going to be here a little while. this is not good at all; i am past the age where i can eat calorie-laden buttery things all the livelong day. as minzhi suggested to me earlier in the year, i need a jar of nibbly hamster pellet-like things that are composed of fiber and sawdust and can be grabbed by the handful; that, or dwarf bread.
