Just rewatched last night's Veronica Mars.

Conclusion: Kristen Bell is way cute.

Gawd, I'm shallow.

What is even happening?

White chocolate mousse in an edible chocolate cup with fresh raspberry sauce.
Mmmm.
There's a restaurant near my neighborhood that serves the darkest, richest hot chocolate I've ever had. It's pure chocolatey goodness in a cup. And it comes with churros for dipping.
What are churros, Jess?

NARRATOR! You're like the Shadow, these days. Stay put, woman.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What are churros, Jess?

They're a kind of Spanish doughnut -- basically a log of fried dough sprinkled with sugar and/or cinnamon.

Recipe here

[etcorrect the origin of the churro.]

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

What's the best dessert you've ever had?

A bread pudding, believe it or not. With a rich creamy sauce with a couple of kinds of booze in it. Unfortunately, the restaurant that served it was closed when the University of Washington decided it had better uses for the property than renting it out to a restaurant, and I never heard that they found a new location.

Plei? Jilli? Anyone else in Seattle? If the Boat Street people are in business somewhere else now, PLEASE let me know. Because I'd love to have that bread pudding again someday, say when I get my first advance check.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The Red Sox got rained out, which is probably the best thing that's happened to them so far this week.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

A seafood restaurant in the next town makes something called a fallen chocolate cake. It's hot, liquid inside, but more chocolatey than it is sweet, served hot (in a little custard cup or souffle dish or whatever), with freshly whipped cream on top.

Oooh. That's known as Chocolate Muck-Muck at one of the local restaurants. Mmmm, Chocolate Muck-Muck.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Boy is my memory bad. I can remember several instances of taking a bite of some dessert and having my eyes roll back in my head in ecstasy, but do I remember what said desserts were or where I had them? No. Of course not. That would be far to useful.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, Kristen Bell is very cute.

Also, I'm getting the impression that you don't much like Duncan. I'm really not sure where I'm getting that.

I love the theories I'm reading here. . . if you guys are into spoiler's lite there is an episode title in that thread that I think may be a clue.

What do you think?

Up with the sun

What's the best dessert you've ever had?

I'm possiibly sappy enough to say my wedding cake. (Which was good -- white cake with strawberry filling and white chocolate icing.) That aside? I love the heath bar-coffee cheesecake at the Cheesecake factory. I only get it once a year or so, but it is SO GOOD.
