I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I want this CI chocolate cupcake recipe. It's hurting me to live without it. Hurting. Don't you people understand?

Well, you see, Cook's Illustrated can be obtained in exchange for goods, preferably money in paper or plastic form. It can be found at many a grocery store and book store. This is how we have obtained our current CI, until the next one, when it will be magically delivered to our home.

The chocolate cupcake recipe looks goooooood. Also the tortilla soup. Has anyone tried to make the tortilla soup?

I googled and found a recipe for yellow cupcakes with chocolate ganache icing.

Are those the cupcakes?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Nope, these are chocolate batter cupcakes.

Days not really sucky, so much as the thought of going back to work is sucky.

I'd like a do-over to December 21.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ganache is even better than buttercream. Next time I make the cupcakes I'm gonna try ganache.

Bah. They're transitioning a project I like out of our department. We (I) did all the heavy lifting to get it in motion, and now another division gets the fun stuff.

Go away, Tuesday. Me no like.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I want a do-over for last Feb. In which I shall do everything the same, except try a little harder not to slip on the ice and break my wrist.

Oooh. I want a Kyan. That'd make things okay. That, a fabulous apartment, a huge salary, a membership to the right gym. That'd fix Toosday.
