There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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

The creaming butter and sugar phase incorporates a lot of air into the batter via the whipped-up butter

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.

I swear, a big part of the socialization in my (freshman) dorm was guys proving they were straight.

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.

Puppies! That Maltese/Schnauzer mix looks a lot like our dog Boots, who was our dog throughout my teenage years, especially in that pic when he's in the bathtub.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think I'm so desensitized to poor reasoning skills and homphobes hiding behind some twisted corpse of Christ that the thing that bugs me most about the FCC letters is the spelling.

Seriously, it's almost malicious how bad the spelling is.

I think when you cream butter and sugar you are dissolving the sugar into the butter more than adding the crystalliness to the butter.

My understanding was that the crystalline structure of the sugar helped aerate the butter. If agave dilutes the butter (it seems to be more liquid than honey and maybe maple syrup) then it'll be harder to trap the air than if I creamed the butter solo.

And you'd still want the agave distributed through the butter.

Also, in many cakelike recipes that start out that way there is a later step where you alternate adding flour and the rest of the fluids to the batter--those fluids are distributed through the batter completely--I was wondering if the agave was better suited there.

Experimentation will tell.

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

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

One of them has hoped to be a quarterback and now he will turn out gay. I am actually considering to check him for HIV. Thanks CBS for turning my son GAY.

Dear Sir,

Are you sure it was Prince at the half-time show that made your son gay? Perhaps it was the big sweaty men in tight shiny pants hunched over with their hands between each others' legs that made your son gay. We're just sayin'.

Signed,

Everybody Who Is Not A Fuckwit.

I couldn't figure out if that first FCC letter is satire or just sad.
