[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.

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

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still wouldn't get much use out of a bundt pan.
But they're pretty! Okay, so I don't actually have one of the plain ones with the hole in the middle (what are they called?), because they're boring, but I tend to have one of everything else, including mini-bundt pans, because I love the cathedralesque architecture so much.

Speaking of The Jilli, I'm being Extremely Impatient and ask here: does anyone know her PayPal account email address and can email it to me?
I'm working my way to a copy of GCS.

I think those are just called tube pans.
I not only have a bundt pan, but I have this absurd 6-cup mini bundt muffin type pan which I've used maybe once in my baking life. It's not useful, but it's so cute!

Did Tom come away from the oyster reletively unscathed?
Yeah, he was fine- I magicked it all away with gin-based cocktails.
ION, Gah- just discovered I made an error that will almost certainly get back to my director who has previously called a meeting with me to discuss my failure at stupid crap like that.

Yay Nora!
Shir, I just saw my email and sent you a reply.
I have a fabulous new hat for today, because friends of mine who run gothy clothing stores love me. 41 is pretty awesome so far.
