You may know I work for a youth-serving nonprofit organization. We asked the inventor of Clocky if she'd talk to a group of kids, and she asked for an honorarium. Dude, seriously? We had Dana Buchman last year for free.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh. That's the first time I've seen the word "butterfat" outside of a dairy farm context.
Really? I think butterfat content is discussed in baking quite often.

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

Huh. Well I don't do much baking....

I was about to post almost exactly this. I think of it as a culinary term, not a farming one. (It's really important to know butterfat percentages when you're dealing with recipes from other countries because heavy cream in the UK and heavy cream in the US mean *vastly* different things.)

JZ, how is matilda's sotto voce? She strikes me as thusly inclined at maybe a quick learner in the arts. Really.
Not JZ, but Matilda's got an excellently conspiratorial whisper.
Butterfat content is also used to determine Super Premium ice creams. Where in the classic American equation, more is more.

Cookie ish? It's all in the butter.
Kat, you rock for finding this! I suspected the butter was the reason this year's cookies weren't as structurally sound as last year's, but now I know why. Thanks!

Time's Man of the Year is (like you don't already know) Barack Obama. They also have a great collection of photos taken when he was a freshman at Occidental College.

I was disappointed when I found out this Obama quote was actually about his girls taking care of the new dog:
And then if they do their business if they got some poop, you gotta make sure that you're not just leaving it there.
It seems to apply equally to the outgoing administration...
