found the other cricket I thought I'd booted out the door wiggling in the toe of my clog. Good thing my toes don't jam all the way up. Toe cricket jam and all.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Aaargh! I think Tino just got a new job. Chase has doubled the minimum payment on the student loan balance I'm carrying with them. So now I have to find an extra $200 in my monthly budget.
I suppose this is another of those regional food questions: have you heard of blondies? As in, the dessert item? I baked some and brought them into my office today, and no one had any idea what I was talking about when I offered them. I had to explain to everybody what they were.
have you heard of blondies?
Yes. And knew them intimately while growing up in DC. I think this is another case of the hopeless dorkitude of your office, not a regional problem at all.
Well, I offered them to five different people, who grew up in a bunch of different places (all in the US), and only one of them knew what they were.
Know of them and now I want of them. Or something.
Seriously? No one knew what Blondies were? Huh.
People who did not know what they were: one grew up in Maryland, one in Virginia, one in Alabama and Seattle, one all over the place but mostly North Carolina and New Orleans.
I know what they are and wish I could have one right now.
Of course, I discovered them in a cookbook - not from family tradition.
I don't think I remember ever having them at home, but they were definitely a staple of bake sales and Girl Scout meetings.
