*shrugs* Dominate superpower(s) est.

I've had family buy it. It's useful for a few things, like cheesing up crackers. Though that and just eating it is about the only thing I ever see it used for. Being fair to it, it's little worse than the normal american sliced cheese stuff.

And fistbump to owlga. I'd make no qualms about canned pasta being an acquired taste, but I've definitely acquired it. Actually like the stuff well enough. It's not terrible. One horrible thing I'll do is cook up some ramen, flavor it (or not, depending on mood), drain out the broth, and then stick the noodles in with a can's worth of pasta. Extra noodles! Add in a little cheese, maybe ghetto croûtons (chopped up toast) and some bacon bits (or just bacon, if it's on hand). It's thoroughly mediocre in the best of ways.

Honestly, protagonist-centered media in general seems to be pretty slim on the prominent parental figure, especially actual biological or adopted parents. Something always seems to happen to them, or they get regulated to the background (at best). There's definitely exceptions, but that's always seemed to be the trend of things...

Yush. Though... well, not really. The taste is actually fairly distinct -- just adding cinnamon to a cereal isn't quite enough to replicate the cinnamon toast thing, even with something that's already sugar'd up. Cinnamon'd cereal is something I've been doing for a little bit now, this is just the first time it turned out seriously appealing as opposed to "just" mildly better.

I really have to keep adding cinnamon to things. I think the next thing I'm going to explicitly set out to try is cinnamon basted chicken. It's great that one of these spice shaker things of ground cinnamon seems to last bloody forever, heh.

There's definitely a certain cultural approbation towards males (at least above a fairly young age) appreciating stuffed animals to any meaningful degree in the area I'm in, for what that's worth. Being fair, there's also a look of askance around here towards men finding interest in just about anything that isn't beer, trucks, guns, sports, hunting/fishing, home improvement, and T&A. The ladies definitely catch less flak on that front, though yeah, as per wob, adults in general are kinda' looked at lil' funny for having one that's more than just a set piece. It's a difference of mild immaturity and suspected deviance, though.

Personally, I think they're pretty great. Don't actually have any right now (well, besides one of that dog-thing from Excell Saga sitting around somewhere), but if could be arsed to figure out how to sew I'd totally be using this fairly large (i.e. it comes up to my shoulder, and I'm 5-something or other) stuffed bear as a pillow. It makes a great pillow. Poor thing's arm's about tore off, though.

... the job site. I mean, that's basically the continuation of the same thing, just with less learning, more kvetching, and lives being more thoroughly ruined by screwups. You've got the emotional instability and learning (those never actually go away, ever), you've got the office politics of hell, you've got off-work interaction and departmental shenanigans replacing clubs and activities, you've got peripheral characters such as family, competing/collaborating businesses, and higher ups. Same list applies.

Noted to self: Smooshed up new potatoes wrapped in pepperoni is delicious. If a little messy.
