Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Heh. Would I get to borrow a baby for BabySwiffer? Cause I'd be down with that. Though I just cleaned Saturday, so I can wait a little while for the invention of it.
AND, I just walked to get coffee, and stopped at the laundromat, and got quarters! I have no intention of doing laundry at that place, as I'd have to haul the clothes there, and it's MORE expensive than downstairs in my building, but yay, source of quarters! Of course, now I have ot get up the energy to actually DO the laundry...
What, precisely, is ganache?
I tend to frost cakes, these days, with whipped cream. Just take the cream, add a tiny tiny bit of powdered sugar, maybe some cocoa powder, or food coloring, or liquor, and then whip it up. The people at work love it!
Sail, thanks. I appreciate an objective viewpoint. I've read that guy's LJ, and he's most always like that: pompous and "in love with his own rhetoric", as you so aptly put it.

Ganache is like that, but with chocolate. Basically you pour hot cream over an equal weight of chopped chocolate and blend until smooth. You can cool it and whip it for frosting, almost cool and pour for glaze (adding butter or some other oil helps with this), or cool and spread thickly (which is what I do).
It's less fragile than whipped cream, which I like too. But at room temperature it's perfectly smooth. But your option lets me branch into the citrus, which I do want to do. Also, maybe, chai whipped cream will work.
Oh darn. Now I want frosting.
ita, you can also add cinnamon to taste to the whipped cream, and make a lovely, light cinn-cream. I bet it'd be fabulous on bitter chocolate cupcakes.
Mmmm.
Zen, what Sail said.
she just sucked up to every single person in New York, suggesting fast and slow lanes on the sidewalk.
Ha! Just like the moving sidewalks! (And escalators, damnit!)
Are stores likely to close at 6pm today?
I think so, aurelia.
Well, I have dark chocolate/coffee liqueur ganache cooling in the fridge. I suppose it's time to start making the cupcakes.
US OPENed today, got sun burn on my arms, am exhausted. ate tooo much. am tired.
did not get laundry dropped off or any cleaning done since the fambly left. oh well.
