Punishingly Intricate

In super-dork news, I was watching Ace of Cakes last night, and Mary Alice (my favorite!) was going to Asbury Park, NJ, and said, "Ooh, maybe we'll see Bruce Springsteen!" So I emailed her to tell her that when I went to Baltimore last weekend, I totally said, "Ooh, maybe we'll see Mary Alice!" And she TOTALLY WROTE BACK.

ha!

Speaking of cake, I am so craving a piece right now. I think because yahoo had a picture of a piece of delicious looking Red Velvet cake on their front page earlier. There's a store called Cupcake in my work neighborhood but, criminally, it is a clothing NOT a cupcake store. rip off.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm dying for cake. And I can't have any. Ima get ice cream on the way home.

I could get ice cream or gelato or fancy sorbet easily but cake? I don't know.

That's just cruel!

Though I love me cupcakes of all stripes.

I think if the cool spell holds (crossing fingers!) I'll make red velvet cake this weekend.

Our wings are not tired.

It's probably a good thing that I have low self-esteem, or else I'd be getting a big head.

I'd love to tag this, paperdol

Sob. I still don't have the book. I wanted to buy it in an actual bookstore rather than ordering as usual. But when I went to the big city of Utica a couple days ago the One Book Store in the entire city was already closed for the day. grumble. I may have to get it when I return to Florida.

I really, really loathe people who express helplessness in the face of clear instructions.

Dear Work,

I don't want to do you. Go away now.

Sincerely,

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Is it harder to make than other cakes? What recipe do you use?

I use this one: [link] But there was a good one in Cook's Illustrated that I wanted to try.

Agh. Personal pet peeve of doom. And, for some reason, women get an extra soopersized helping of beejvitriol when they do this.
