Yeah, yanking Barbie's head off never stopped being fun.

Did you know if you microwave Barbie long enough, everything but her feet will melt into a puddle of goo. But her feet are amazingly resilient and will remain intact?

I'm not a fancy topping on pizza person, unless I am. What I don't get is the mixing of traditional toppings with weird exotic ones. Go one way or another, not both. One of the best pizzas I've had is in Pasadena. White pizza with spinach. SO GOOD. And I hate spinach. But the spinach is so butterygarlicyyummy that it is undeniably wonderful. LOVE.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But while pies and tarts are closely related, I wouldn't call them synonyms for each other. Although clearly, Mr. Kipling would.

Mr. Kipling certainly does--his mince pies are a staple in the UK.

So I'm also guessing:

To me they're all pies.

No, I did not know that! Mostly because I was caught and given a Very Stern Lecture when I casually opened the microwave door with my Barbie clutched in my other hand.

Oooh, I just remembered! At the end of October, one of the local pizza places offers the Pear Primo, which is pears, mushrooms, and goat cheese. I love that pizza. Which probably makes me a pizza heretic.

awesome. though I'm trying not to think of the smell.

not if that's the part you fed to your guinea pig. while dangling her by the hair above the cage. and figuring out how you could pin it on your new baby sister. (no guinea pigs were harmed during the torture of this barbie, btw)

If you try this experiment, be sure to visit a university dorm and use THEIR microwave. Actually, there are better microwave tricks to do first: ivory soap and lightbulbs to name two.

I want to try one of those white pizzas with garlic and clams on it, but I can never find one. But I love the white pizzas with spinach. Mmm.

Hey Kat, do you have dinner plans?

My brother and I used to put Han Solo in the freezer a lot.

Styrofoam cup ketchup volcano was always fun. As was peep jousting. But yes, don't use a microwave that you have to clean out.

You all with your toy torturing. All I ever did was take GIJoe's hands off and put them on his feet. Okay, and I decapitated many Barbies, but that was strictly in the interest of changing their hairstyles.

I need these words tattooed on my right hand, the one that touches the keypad to enter the time on the microwave.

I'm teaching at 4:30 @ UCLA tonight...so no plan plans but I only have a bit between being at P* and being at UCLA. What's up?
