I'm with brenda. And now I wish I had coffee cake!
I'm feeling vaguely guilty about not going to church on Palm Sunday, not that I've gone regularly in years, so I guess that ship has sailed.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

2 cups whole pecans, which you then chop?
I would say this. 2 cups of already-chopped nuts seems like a lot for a cake. But who the hell buys unshelled pecans?

I imagine they mean de-shelled.
I didn't buy the frozen naan when I was at TJs the other day, but I just remembered my childhood hippy cookbook has a recipe for chappatis, so I think I'm going to do that! Fun.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I was going to make ice cream today, but it seems I managed to move without any vanilla extract. Which means I need to go shopping again, which is annoying.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I agree with the measure then chop people. I usually go by the assumption that the later thing, especially if it's after a comma, is an instruction on what to do with the ingredient just specified, but before you start on the main recipe instructions themself.
Flashed my router hardware with new open source firmware, baked the pie I prepped last night (this pastry was definitely easier than the Crisco/butter one I was remembering, but let's see if it's as tasty) and now I'm off to teach krav and do kettlebell.

The Rookie is the trifecta and I am now a sopping wet pile of goo.
I love The Rookie!! At the end, before the Big Game, his family show up at the ballpark and Dennis Quaid smiles that huge Dennis Quaid Grin? I drool and lose it at the same time.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Happy April Fool's Day!
Anyone know where this tradition originates? Someone must.
I fully admit that I learned this from The Simpsons (which is my #2 source of knowledge, behind the Buffistas): when the Julian calendar was used, the new year began in late March, and was celebrated on April 1. Then when we switched to the Gregorian calendar, we started celebrating the new year on January 1, and those who forgot and celebrated on April 1 were April fools.
Of course, that could all be bullshit, but, like I said, I learned it from The Simpsons.
t edit Must include this venerable quote from Homer J. Simpson: "You couldn't fool your mother on the foolingest day of your life if you had an electrified fooling machine."
