two things

verbicide1. I read this interesting recipe thing for cake. Apparently you can take any cake mix and substitute the eggs/oil with a can of diet soda (or a can of pumpkin) and voila--low fat cake. Just tried some Pillsbury Devil's Food cake with some diet Pepsi and it's not bad. You can taste a bit of the soda, but it's not offensive. Obviously having regular frosting would defeat the purpose, but I had mine with some fat-free cool whip and it's not bad. I'd done something similar with brownie mix before, substituting raspberry applesauce for the oil and egg beaters for the egg but this is much simpler. And lower in fat/calories.
I have a massive sweet tooth so I can't just do what I'd like and save up for dessert on really special occasions, so must bastardize recipes and find alternatives. I'm a purist, but only in theory.
2. Decided to continue my game of Final Fantasy X-2. After about 10 minutes I remembered what bored me last time. I feel anal enough that I want to get all the story % points. But god the Commsphere Waves sections are BORING. Particularly since you have to go back over and over again to get all the % points. Brh.
But feeling hermitish today, so this will have to do. Tomorrow I have to get out of the house and do something. Will call Jeff. Though he's moving this weekend and will probably be busy. Of course I offered to help, but he already has a squad of able-bodied men and doesn't need my help.
