Sugar-free Problems

May 22nd, 2008

Remember problem 49, the yet to be revealed food problem?

Well, it didn’t end up working out.

Do you want to know what it was going to be? Too bad, I’m not going to tell you. Was I going to quit being vegan and eat a steak? Was I going to stuff my face with Taco bell everyday for a month (dream come true)? Was I going to karate chop in the neck this trust-fund d-bag for serving foie gras lollipops at his ridiculous restaurant?

You’ll just have to decide for yourself.

Julio, who is soon to be the future baby-daddy of my dear friend and sister in biking, Jess, keeps crying about how he can never eat the cupcakes I make because they have sugar in them.

Then, in yesterday’s post about moving to New York, I humbly asked if it would be ok with all y’all if I added finding an apartment to the list of problems. Julio said no!, and then said, ok, if you make me sugar free cupcakes first.

And since I’m always one step ahead of the game in everything I do, I’ll kill two bird with one stone: Problem 49 is to make Julio some nasty sugar-free cupcakes, which means I can then add Problem 93 as finding an apartment in NY that isn’t in a horrible neighborhood and doesn’t require living with 32 other people. Oh and has decent bathroom tile, and always smells like fresh laundry. And also is near the train. And has lots of light. And if it had a yard or a deck or something, I will just die of happiness.

That’s all, easy.

Man, I’m so smart. I turned one request for baked goods into two problems that I kind of have to do anyway. Genius.
