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!!!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I cook, I don't bake.
I do both and I still wouldn't get much use out of a bundt pan.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Super behind, but:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JILLI!!!
YAY NORA!!!!
Pix, I hope it works out. Hil, I'll pay for Vortex to smack your advisor.
Re: The Fernet article: R Bar, which he calls out, is also a Boston bar, and is one of my neighborhood hangouts (I've taken Perkins there). Yeah, it's clean-professional-types as a rule, but it's also an industry bar. I love it.
