Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Punishingly Intricate

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

There's a store called Cupcake in my work neighborhood but, criminally, it is a clothing NOT a cupcake store

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There's a store called Cupcake in my work neighborhood but, criminally, it is a clothing NOT a cupcake store. rip off.

Yeah, that's bullshit.

I'm totally going to Bourne Ultimatum this afternoon. Or maybe Hairspray. At any rate: Hiding from the heat inside a movie theater.
