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

it's also under a mile from SFO, which might not be good.

It might be OK, depending on whether it's near the SFO traffic patterns.

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

Live traffic patterns.

Burlingame is nice, Lee. My Aunt and Uncle have a house up on the hill there.

It's not bad to work because you can usually take the back way, not the 101 but the 280? and then take Sand Hill.

We had some people who commuted from Burlingame to Mountain View without issue.

Though I would say that Burlingame is as about as far north as I'd like to commute. Unless I did the train. Then live in the city and train down.

ita, surfas is the best. I can't believe you've never been.

That site is oddly mesmerising. Also, if you put your mouse pointer over a plane you can tell how high it is.

I can't get info on dutch process cocoa, though I am almost sure I've bought it at surfas before. When doing brownie mixes.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think I will definitely add Burlingame to the list of places to look, Kat.

I've never been to Surfas either.

I can't believe you've never been to surfas, ita and Lee! It's SHOCKING.

ita, The Valrhona doesn't say dutch process on the container, but it is when you look at the ingredients because it has the alkali.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Surfas is SO COOL. Once ita goes, she'll be there every week from now on buying cool baking stuff. I'm not going to mention Lee, because of the whole "moving away and so can never go back there again even though she will love it" factor.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

It seems so strange that something so basic, the Dutch process stuff, would be so hard to find. The brownie mixes I bought last night [bad brenda!] on sale for 99 cents say on the front that they're made with the stuff. It's been a long time since I bought cocoa - I don't use it that much so it lasts a while - but I wouldn't have imagined that it would be at all difficult to find. I'm beginning to think there must be a spell involved.

That traffic pattern site is really cool, ita. I think I would still need to be there in person to make sure, but it looks like the area the apartment is would be okay.

Where is Surfas?
