And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

I am not here.

No, really.

Okay, I am, but pay no attention.

No, really.

I'm just hiding over in this part of the room because the painting on the drawing board keeps giving me a look. Y'know that look. The look that says, "Oh, c'mon. I'm easy; you can paint this, it'll be no problemo. C'mon, slap some paint on, y'know you want to."

It lies.

Painting never gets any easier. So, d'ya thing my time away from Buffistas has improved my sanity? No, me neither...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Cake and bread are like art and/or porn: I know it when I see it.

I love Leif's new way of saying he's hungry or full. Hungry is "my tummy is sad", while full is "my tummy is happy".

I am SO using this! (FTR, my tummy is currently happy -- chicken/apple sausage and sweet potato fries. Possibly some veggies momentarily.)

Tried the painting upside down approach, Pete?

The blood rushes to my head and I get a headache, so not much use.

Nah, it's no good when you're dealing with facets of form that need to be accurate.

eta: Though sometimes, checking out the image in a mirror helps.

If I get home to find him suspended from the ceiling, I'm holding you responsible. After I stop giggling.

You'd just put batwings on him. Admit it.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

The leavening, no? Except, I don't know that there's any good reason to call sweet quick breads (banana et al.) "bread" instead of cake.

hey! I might know the answer to this! I think it's actually about the proteins. Breads (not quickbread which as jesse points out really are cake) often have long strands of proteins that make it chewy and not just cakey (as Nilly pointed out). The reason you let the doughs rise and then beat them down and then knead is about developping the gluteny/proteiny strands.

Sigh. Brain is on overload.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Just think Jilli - if he's upside down, you can tweak his nose for all the times he's poke you in yours.
