Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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

Nap!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Party. Avoid the Best Buy.

Only 3 hours to go. How're you doing, Perkins?

Well, I'll just look silly napping in a bar. Won't I?

Ooh. Bar! nothing says merry merry like a bar!

Actually, nothing says Merry Merry like Jake Gyllenhaal running around nekkid with a santa hat covering his penis.

Not as silly as the woman sitting across from me.

She just started snoring, so I think she's napping.

Maybe I should go back to the bar. I think I would end up napping though, if I did.

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

Read up on deja vu.

I vote party, Kat, because I like parties.

It's not suet in the pastry, Spidra, (they're veggie) and if it's lard I wouldn't notice since that's what I use in my own pastries. They're more cakey (help me out here, Perkins) than flakey.

I think it's partially what they are made with (the secret ingredient is crack) and partially the pastry/fruit ratios. Because they are small, the pastry is more prominent.

But they do have crumbs in a way that pies...well, the sort I usually make...don't.

My pastry understanding is that typically there's a buttery/flakey continuum, but that the premise in a good flakey pastry is layers--the small lumps of cold butter melt and form flattened pockets of air. Those English apple pies have a crumb, instead of layers. My brain keeps tossing up shortbread, but that's not it.
