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

Thanks guys, I'll check around next time I'm down there.

Was anyone else watching The Next Food Network Star?

Beth that's the same logic behind transit around the Bay Area. "Hmmm, ridership is down ergo we should raise prices."

Amtrak has been doing this for years. It's insane -- if it's faster and cheaper to fly from NYC to DC, no wonder people aren't taking the train!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Was anyone else watching The Next Food Network Star?

I was! By the end, I wanted Hans to win. Ah well. And now I'm watching this show about the cake maker, and the opening monolog thing was completely nonsensical. I couldn't figure out the timeline AT ALL. Did it used to be an hour show that got edited down? That was the only thing I could think of.

I was rooting for Hans too, but I was happy to see D&S get it instead. Mainly, I was just happy that Deborah didn't win. How can you not know how long to cook a pork chop? And what the hell is up with putting a SECRET spice blend into a television recipe? So annoying. I do wonder what "stars" she cooks for.

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

Yum. Inspired by something Robin posted a while back, I bought whipped cream and angel food cake (I couldn't find short cakes) to go with the berries (a basket each of raspberries, blackberries and strawberries) I bought at the Farmer's Market this morning.

So very good. I am tempted to go have some more fruit and whipped cream.

That sounds yummy, Perkins. We just had steak and I'm eating a little bit of triple chocolate mousse cake. But now I'm craving pound cake and whipped cream and berries. topped with fudge sauce.

I thought about fudge sauce, but I decided to be "good".

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

How funny to see you two here. I just had cake and thought of you Kat because, well, you love cake.

I ma now letting my husband make me tea.

Hi Burrell!

I like cake too, but maybe not as much as Kat, I must admit.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I like cake , but there is none here. however, there are many tasty things from the farmer's market. straberries, necterines, peaches, but the grape tomatos are all gone.

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

I like cakes more than most people. Which is why I rarely buy them.

Hi, Burrell!

I think, had I a husband, now would be a good time for him to make me tea. I applaud your choice.
