We were in a meeting the other day when someone brought in bagels. Apparently one was fruit based, but looked deceptively oniony. The designer put garlic spread on it and was...startled, to say the least. He said, "I would have expected [memfault on the exact fruit/sweet flavor] in a muffin!"

Had to excuse myself from the meeting.

I think I'm not touching office bagels anymore. Well, until the next hunger crisis. But the nastiness of a sweet bagel (or really, any bagel) that's been next to an onion bagel ruins all the fun. Why can't we all just enjoy Montreal-style plain, poppy-seed (see, I endorse kinds I don't eat), and sesame (mmmmmm) bagels?

I'm going to make spice cookies from msbelle's buffista cookbook recipe tomorrow, so I'd really better remember to buy flour tonight.

This is a pain in the ass.

Jessica, insent.

Dagnabbit -- some guy came to look at the dresser I'm trying to sell, but wouldn't take it because of damage to the finish -- that I put a picture of in the ad!

I do not have nutmeg (WTF? Moving gremlins, you suck, cause I KNOW I had some) but I do have allspice.

Dry ingredients mix, sugar is in bowl, oven is preheated. Just waiting for butter to soften while I listen to Jill Scott station on Pandora and ate the last bitlet of chili, because I need something to be in my stomach while I bake cookies and prep jambalaya.

I love Jill Scott like a fat kids loves cake.

Erin! Trade me some nutmeg for allspice? I was just trying to decide if I need to bother buying that, too.

I am sending the Magical Spice Unicorn to you through in the Intertubes!

Yay! Back at you!
