For the vanilla gluten-free cupcakes, the flour mixture has tapioca flour, white rice flour, quinoa flour, and a choice of either corn flour or almond flour. The chocolate ones have just the first three flours.

I'm pretty sure my Whole Foods has quinoa. What I'd really like to find is t'eff, which would give me a shot at trying to make injera at home.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Online teff shopping: [link] . I've also often seen it sold in Ethiopian restaurants.

I've seen teff at Whole Foods. I've also seen whole quinoa there, but never quinoa flour, though I can't really say I've been looking. For a while, the Watergate Safeway was carrying teff, but I haven't seen it there lately.

Our wings are not tired.

Sigh. I miss Hugo's. And I also loved a place called the Upstage Cafe on Wilshire that has long been replaced by a Denny's. It was in the Wiltern and had splendid ometettes.

Any LA-istas remember a place on Melrose in the 80's called "Gasoline Alley"? My gawd I spent more nights at that place...and I was so broke. Their little tiny mochas were $2.75 which is a fortune, but they were so good. And Sharon (the owner) was awesome.

I miss LA a lot sometimes. Can't believe I haven't been back in almost 2 years.

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

Okay, steampunk does not cover Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic style. I will grant the possibility of post-apocalyptic timing, but it's still a Victorian/Edwardian feel. Not mid-late 20th century.

Nifty that they have all them black folk steampunking it up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It is that rarity, a phenomenon with the potential to capture a wider audience, offering a genteel and disciplined alternative to both the slack look of hip-hop and the menacing spirit of goth.

Jilli is "menacing"?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Theo - I have some T'eff. I got it at a local Health Food Store - It's Bob's brand. I had zero luck doing injera with it the one time I tried. But I have a different recipe to try out, so I hold hope.
