Raquel, that might give me pause as well. And this

then your soul that you outran will catch up and find you and you'll be okay.

Is such a lovely description of jetlag. And that is so how it feels when you really really want to sleep and shouldn't. Psychosis, whee! For me, it doesn't help that I'm coming BACK from some exciting adventure. Going east, I've been all nervous and excited and so it is easy to push through the sleepies. Coming back, loooook, it's my beeeed...

My brother has sent me an email that is STILL DOWNLOADING. Sheesh.

I don't think I'm gonna try to see fireworks tonight. I like them a lot, but...crowds. Traffic. It doesn't start until 9:30.

I LOVE firecrackers and sparklers and bottlerockets(arson in a small package!) and groundflowers, but I recognize the inherent danger in them so can't complain too much about restrictions. Especially in kindling country. Where I grew up, the neighbors would get together in the middle of the street and fire them off, with hoses running in the gutters. Fun. Fire! Bang!

Now tagless for your comfort.

then your soul that you outran will catch up and find you and you'll be okay.

This is kind of how William Gibson described jet lag in Pattern Recognition. I thought it was very apt.

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

Is there anyone around that can tell me -- if I swap sour cream for yoghurt in a recipe, will one to one volumes be okay for the leavening?

It should be about the same, ita, except that you might want to throw in an additional pinch of baking soda.

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

I always sub yogurt/sour cream 1:1, never noticed any problems.

Either my neighbors are setting off fireworks, or they're jumping on the world's biggest sheet of bubble wrap...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I sub 1/1 but then usually in nonbaking things so I am not to be trusted.

Hugh O'Conor is nummy. How did I never notice him before?

This sounds like a lot of fun...

Thanks! Banana bread is on. I'm so not leaving the house today. It's become a thing.

TiVo snagged Ebert & Roeper for me -- has Ebert had health problems? His voice sounds slurred, compared to my memory.
