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.
oh yeah, cause baking is science and shit.
Eh, to a point. The cake I made for E's birthday had all the ingredients measured out by weight, so I had to estimate the volumes (since I don't have a kitchen scale), and it turned out perfectly well. As long as you know what a cake batter is supposed to look like (or bread dough, or whatever), you can tweak a baked good just as easily as an entree.
I'm not real exact about baking and things seem to mostly turn out okay. We will not speak of the sourdough wheat bread experiment though.
I sometimes get updates from home about goings on, this was the latest amusing conversation.
Leif: Can I go ask Rachel if she can come over?
Me: No.
Leif: Why not?
Me: I said no.
Leif: Why?
Me: Leif, I said no.
Leif: I don't recognize that as an answer.
Me: Leif, I don't have to explain everything to you. The answer is "no."
Emaryn: Well, she does have a point, Leif.
Leif: Emaryn, you don't have to explain everything to me!!!
Emaryn: Sheesh!
Arrrrgh -- I'm on hold with the IRS. For work! I would totally hang up to deal with all the other shit I have to do OMG RIGHT THIS MINUTE, but I know I'll forget to call back, and then I'll be screwed. Bah.
What possible trouble could there be from blowing off the IRS?

Ha! This might be worse, because it's me who wants something from them this time. So I wait.
I still haven't done my taxes. I probably should get on that.
My usual method of following recipes is to sit down and read a few of my books, scroll through some of my favorite sites, then put together what sounded good as a combination of several recipes. Sometimes it doesn't work out, but most times, yum.
This morning I made broccoli, cauliflower, and bacon quiche. There were no complaints.

Cheese is life, lackbrain. Why do you think we eat it? It's what keeps you going. Makes you warm. Makes your arteries hard. Eventually makes you dead, but what a way to go.
So...Cheese is your art? You're just a little bit in love with it?

I wear the cheese; the cheese does not wear me.
