I'm getting the pig!

I followed the ghiradelli recipe and it called for 1 cup of each refined and light brown. Can I just stir in the extra flour once the choc chips are already mixed into the batter?

I'd be more impressed if it were Batman endorsing Huckabee.

Okay, I'm going to start with 2 tbsp of flour mixed in by hand and test bake a couple of cookies. More flour mixed in until either the cookies look normal or they taste like too much flour.

Thanks!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Good culinary luck!

Went with my mom to All Saints, the cool activist Episcopal church in Pasadena. On the way out we saw a card with a bumpersticker which read "Organized Labor: The folks who brought you the weekend."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm writing this in the New Orleans airport, waiting for our flight home. Fun weekend.

OMG, I wish Huckabee were someone whose positions I liked. Because I love the Chuck Norris ad, and I thought the stuff someone here (Tommy?) posted about his wife was kinda awesome too. Dang.

Q-tips were originally called "Baby Gays."

...I....what?? WHY?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

...I....what?? WHY?

They never really explained that. But they did decide it was a good thing the name had been changed, since walking into a drugstore these days and asking for "Baby Gays" would probably get you arrested.

I adore baby gays. They're prosh. I want to pat them on the head. Occasionally I want to go "young lady, in my day we didn't HAVE GSAs and hold hands with our girlfriend in MIDDLE SCHOOL".

But I am not inspired to stick them in my ears.

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

Okay, so I'm trying to clean up my apartment after being stuck in a depression that left me unable to do any sort of rudimentary housekeeping.

There was an enormous pile of dishes. I mean, it spilled over onto the counters and stove. And as I got to the bottom of it all, I found an ENORMOUS BUG. Drowned. I have no idea what sort of bug it is. I don't have a garbage disposal. I have to pick it out of the drain. I find myself completely unable to do this. The thing is as long as my pinky finger, and it has antennae, and creepy legs, and I CAN SEE ITS DEAD EYES.
