Ah, the spiders in the pit really aren't all that bad. They so barely pinged me, I'd forgotten all about them.
Now, the gigantic, man-eating leeches, on the other hand....
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
English muffins are yeast-raised and baked in an oven. You over-knead the dough to get the big holes.
Just about every English muffin recipe I've seen has them cooked on a griddle.

I had Emmett all psyched up to see Kong until he heard there was a spider pit. Now he's out. He might be willing to watch it on DVD when it comes out.
Tell him that *I'M* going to see Kong, and I'm the biggest wuss about spiders there is around here. Not that I expect that'll change his mind, but IJS.

I had one of these as a roommate, once.
I'm glad he's found work that showcases his natural talents....

They must be american-english muffins.

move out and draw fire
Yeah, the casting call for the gigantic man-eating leeches must've gone out to my former cow-orkers too.
Narnia and Kong both open here today. Narnia looks like "NAPNIA" in Greek, which amuses me. I am off to case the new cinemas at The Mall - I hear they even have parking!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Da Vinci Code trailer. You know, as much as I hate the story, Paul Bettany is beating himself...I wonder if that's enough of a pull...

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

I have to admit that I only checked for crumpet recipes before posting and it's been a while since I read an English muffin recipe - it seems I remembered the cooking method wrongly.
In that case, I'll say the difference is that crumpets are made like pancakes from a thin batter, raised by egg and (usually) baking powder, while English muffins are made from yeast-raised bread dough. They certainly have very different textures - I find untoasted crumpets quite rubbery.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Untoasted crumpets are slightly grosser than untoasted English muffins. Yet both of them, toasted? So. Good.
If you're a serious butter whore, English muffins may be preferable because they have a bit of a crust, so whatever butter you put on them stays on them, whereas it tends to run right through the crumpet and leave you with an admittedly tasty crumpet and then, after it's done, a sad little crumpet-shaped circle of melted butter on your plate that melted straight through and fell out the bottom and now it's all wasted. Unless you can lick it off the plate when nobody's looking. You, I mean. I would never do such a thing. t /big giant fibber
