Waaah. No video for me.

OK, I just cracked up. There is a woman outsidethat isn't one of my neighbors arguing with someone on a cell. Now, normally, around here? It's laced with explicatives and demands about who slept with whom and child support and that bitch/fucker/n-word... this one was "Just answer my question! Are you a RE.PUB.LI.CAN! JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION! Did you vote for that bastard Erlich!?"

and ones that didn't cook the yolks

Well that's just craxy. It's not a custard base if the yolks aren't cooked! The heat is what breaks down the proteins in the eggs and makes them wrap around the milkfats in nummy and texturally pleasing ways! Plus it helps release flavors from the vanilla bean. All hail heat!

Gawd, I love it when Jess talks dirty.

All hail heat!

I am fully with you. Risk getting sick without actually getting the full flavour? Do they get the fugu premise?

I just wish heat didn't take so long to go away sometimes. Which reminds. Need to check the bread proofing.

"Just answer my question! Are you a RE.PUB.LI.CAN! JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION! Did you vote for that bastard Erlich!?"

WHO ARE YOU VOTING FOR????

"Just answer my question! Are you a RE.PUB.LI.CAN! JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION! Did you vote for that bastard Erlich!?"

Ha!

Hee! Only in Balmer.

Somebody's been watching Good Eats.

sarameg, you get some good crazy in your hood.

My stranger encounter today - anyone familiar with a children's book series about a dog named Carl? We were out walking and this family with a toddler were coming the other way and the little girl saw Lucy and started screaming CARL CARL CARL CARL!!!

...and, now that I remember to actually go and look...yeah, okay.

There seems to be a whole series on Carl [link] .
