Damn. We have no snow to speak of, feh.

Michelle Kwan just dropped out.

I blame the nestle white chocolate. The icing is pretty good, and it's pretty because of heart shaped bundt pan and pink raspberry icing with fresh raspberries all around.

But the cake itself is total butt.

White chocolate is...the really good stuff can be delicious on its own, but I've found that things made with it generally don't live up to the hype.

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

Boring...

You won't hear me contradicting you, nor complaining about the boringness.

I wish you all the warmth and good travel in the world, and perhaps a small adventure of the non-stressful sort, but on your way home so you're not late.
