And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't really want to use SIX eggs on one cake!
Two cakes! I love my Cake Bible that has an index of whites-only cakes. I hope there is one with three. The krav place will get nicely caked up from all this.
It's weird--I can make desserts. I mean, they're not quite not stressful, but since I don't have to make them, at least they're something I can accomplish every now and again without worrying anyone's going to get let down.
I need every accomplishment I can get.

Matt, we should never travel together, there would be crazy people from other countries hijacking planes to come and talk to us.
Possibly. I've actually not noticed the nutcases coming out of the woodwork when we've been around each other, but there were usually other buffistas around. Maybe they were afraid Kristin or Sean were really the Martian overlords that beam mind-control signals at their brains.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
My sister (Helena Handbasket) is one of the testers. We made the cake last week. Any questions about it, or just asking in solidarity?

Just curious. Did you like it?

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
Does anyone know how to make an email distribution list in outlook out of about a thousand emails I have in an excel file?

paperdol, you should put that question in Buffistechnology too.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I don't know how to do that, but can you just do a mail merge between your excel document and a word document which will be your email? I don't think you even need to personalize it to do the mail merge, and then each person doesn't get everyone else's email.

No, we were really overwhelmed by it. It was so big! There was so much icing. Also the chocolate flavour of the icing was really strong (not good, since chocolate is a migraine trigger for my sister).
We also found the cake turned out somewhat dry and coarse, although that might have been the oven's fault.
Really it was the icing that made it frightening. We didn't even use all of it, and if you cut a slice it would fall over because the icing was so heavy. I ended up eating the slice I took home one forkful at a time over several days.
Neither of us had ever made a layer cake before (lots of baking, just no layer cakes), so I think that contributed to our reaction.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Did you e-mail Amazon back and tell them that you read an advance copy?
I did not because that would've required that the book be finished at the time. Which it wasn't. Still isn't but oh it's so very close now.
However, I'm finding that my will to live and/or focus on words is waning. I need more coffee, but I've had so much in the last twenty-four hours I'm just not that into it.
