Vortex, you can't borrow a bundt pan from jack?
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
This past season or two, EM:HE has had a special celebrity guest each week who helps out and has a learning experience about what an amazing family this family is. (Frequently getting into "ugh" territory.) Usually, it's a country music star -- the ratings consistently show that people in the south and midwest love this show and people in the northeast and west coast almost never watch it. This past week, though, the special celebrity guest was David Duchovny, because they found out that the mother of the family loves him. (This family, the mother had cancer, and then while she was recovering, their house burned down.)

Vortex, I'm surprised at what you don't have, for a foodie.
I cook, I don't bake.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I cook, I don't bake.
And cook you do.
I have more patience with baking, for some reason. I used to cook for guests every week when I lived in Montreal, and I'd get quite fancy, but I fell out of the habit and since then will pretty much only bake for people. I hate cooking for other people and will barely cook for myself. If it weren't for financial reasons I might not. But baking is still fun.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy birthday, Jilli!!!!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY, Nora!!!!!!!
Can't recommend the silicon one, though
Me, neither. Cake stuck. I love my Nordicware Bundt pan, though. Works like a dream.
As does my Wilton muffin tin in which I made pumpkin muffins last night that are oh so very tasty.

I'm pretty sure that's the brand I have too. It's marvellous.

Sorry about the coffee, Perkins.
I just sent a complaint to a corporate HQ. The DH and I went to one of those meal-assembly places (I had a 50% off coupon), and I carefully read menus online before placing our order because of his milk/meat restriction. One of the menus had a substitution to make it dairy free, but when we got there another ingredient had dairy in it. I told the manager and he started to tell me about how his lactose intolerant girlfriend could eat it just fine. I actually said to the man, "does your girlfriend know you talk about her medical issues to customers?" Now I'm hoping HQ gives me another 50% off coupon.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Wow. That is so many different levels of fail.

NORA!! YAY!!
I assume there will be much celebrating. Did Tom come away from the oyster reletively unscathed? I know you said he was unwell, but did he get it out of his system relatively OK?
BIRTHDAY HAPPIES TO JILLI!!!
