We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Thanks, Betsy! I'm now cutting and pasting those and adding them to my Word folder of recipes. Yum.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Am now very hungry.

Best dessert? I can't choose. Too many.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I was going to work today, but my brain didn't wanna.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I don't know if there is more than one, but the Chicago Melting Pot I went to had really cool dark booths so you were sort of separated from other groups. I think it would be lots of fun with 6+ people.

There's one here in town. And it is fun. I even stole a bottle of their wine & garlic seasoning--it totally kicks ass on steaks on the grill.

I had a really great Bananas Foster in Austin, TX once. The pub down the street makes a stellar bread pudding.

Dessert tonight is an Entemann's donut which is also pretty fucking good.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

New York Magazine had an article about a year ago which was basically "Why does every restaurant in the city serve essentially the same menu?" That chocolate cake with the gooey center was one of the "on every menu" dishes mentioned. Still yummy. The place where I first tried it served it over raspberry coulis with hazelnut ice cream.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Ohh, I could never discriminate. All of the other desserts would be upset.

CI, bourbon gelato sounds delightful, but it's not more caloric than ice cream. It contains less fat, so enjoy it with less guilt!

Congratulations to Burrell, her DH and Franny! Welcome to the world, Isaac!

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

Isn't the answer to that question simple when the food in common is delicious, trendy, and genre appropriate? Because you can...

If I only had a brain...

Apparently it's beneath contempt to order creme brulee. I don't care. I LIKE creme brulee.

What is even happening?

Yeah. Turner's Fallen Chocolate Cake can become the acid washed jeans of the dessert world, but I'll order it with pride, as long as they make it.

Yeah. Most of the categories of "menu items" in that article seemed way too broad. Like, I think one of the other things that was on every menu was "salmon with some sort of cream-like sauce."
