Oh man, this discussion is reminding me that I have to write a scathing email to the folks that run the shuttle bus I take from the train station to work.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I have a friend who's both a full-time wheelie and a serious cook; she designed her own house and her kitchen is TO DIE FOR. (Varying heights, moveable countertops and appliances, varied depths of things. Every time I visit, I reset my brain about how the standardized sizes really aren't so much ideal as just average. Plus, awesome for parties.)
I have trouble with a regular-height kitchen counter just from being too short. "Average height" for design purposes generally starts at about four inches taller than me.

Nodnod. And not as easy to alter as pants.

Her kitchen sounds so cool! I am in no way a cook. But if I had a really good kitchen, I might at least try to scramble eggs occasionally.
Hil, I don't know the Extreme Makeover show, but I might look it up. It sounds interesting.
Happy Birthday, Jilli!
Ginger, how is your back feeling today? I hope you haven't stiffened up so much that you can't move.
Congratulations, Nora!

yeah, and sometimes the heights don't change for a while. The "standard" bathtub size hasn't changed since the early 1900s.
I found a cake that I want to make for Thanksgiving, but it's a bundt pan recipe. I don't have one, and won't use one enough to buy one. Any ideas on conversion?
I've seen disposable bundt pans in the supermarket before - that might be the easiest route.
Vortex, I'm surprised at what you don't have, for a foodie. But I'm more a gadget acquirer than a proper cook. I do love my bundt pan, though. It makes such pretty cakes. Can't recommend the silicon one, though. It just didn't come off slickly enough. But the teflon one is great.
Jessica's idea is much more practical than I am. I tend to buy a cake tin if I can see using it twice in a year or two. And I can always make that case.
