Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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

Ha, Jesse!

Okay, I think I'll try and track down agave nectar today. If I ever start my errands.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I swear, a big part of the socialization in my (freshman) dorm was guys proving they were straight. I neglected to participate in such activities, so a lot of the guys thought I was gay and I got a lot of harassment.

(To prove you were straight, you had to score with a lot of women or else talk about all the women you had scored with. While not nearly as effective, you could also say lots of homophobic stuff.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I just read this piece in Salon that made me want to try cooking with more obscure grains, like quinoa, spelt, and mesquite. Now I totally want to track down mesquite flour.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Jesse that's too funny. Seriously. If you weren't a girl I'd kiss you.

You must not have watched the halftime show, Burrell. Otherwise, you'd have the gay!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'd try beating it

(no homo)

errm, seconded. The creaming butter and sugar phase incorporates a lot of air into the batter via the whipped-up butter, so even if using a liquid sweetener gives a shortcut to combined, you're still losing out if you don't get it well beaten somehow.

I always like to bust out with a "Methinks the lady doth protest too much" when I hear guys getting too vocal about how very manly they are.

Oh, I was going to cream the butter anyway, but it was my understanding that the sugar was in that step because of its structure. If agave nectar is going to weaken the creamening, or even not particularly benefit it, then I'd rather cream the butter alone.

Having to prove your straightess is just so gay.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think when you cream butter and sugar you are dissolving the sugar into the butter more than adding the crystalliness to the butter. And you'd still want the agave distributed through the butter.
