Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[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.

As one who's never met a carbohydrate she didn't love, those cheese rolls sound yummy.

We have an Argentinian carnivore's delight in town - Fogo de Chao (can't do the tilde over the "a", but you get the idea). I didn't realize they'd opened ... I thought all the guys wandering around in their waiter's outfits were some kind of karmic retribution for my maligning gaucho pants on the board.

Ran into this entry for the Bulwar-Lytton contest:

Sunburned and lost, Jake tightened the noose around Randy’s diaper-white neck and growled, “Any last words, varmint?” to which Randy replied, “Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb, Jake--that’s where all the fruit is!” which marked the first and last time Jake and the boys hired a life coach to lead one of their cattle drives.

I wonder if he tried to get them to bond with rocks ....

Why is Vistaprint better than say, Zazzle?

I've been loyal to Vistaprint because the routinely run crazy cheap sales, plus, their interactive design tool is pretty easy to use.

I've never used zazzle, so I have no actual comparison.

If I were working, I would suggest that we go. When I get a job, we shall. I love that place.

cheesy bread balls

Oh my son's BFF's mom is Brazilian and she makes those for us sometimes. I have to physically take the container away from my son for the drive home or he will eat them all. His BFFs (twins) don't like them anymore since they get them all the time, my son thinks they are CRAZY!

(I say half because a whole batch uses 2 eggs, so half a batch would be 1 egg, and I can't fathom subdividing below 1 egg.)

Hah. I have occasionally had to figure out like, 1/3rd of 3 and 3/4 cups flour, or somesuch nonsense, because you have to divide the recipe by a divisible number of eggs. Though I think at least once I've used pourable egg or egg subsitute (like Egg Beaters) because that's easier to divvy up ("one and a half eggs!")

I should probably not attempt to test this theory.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

This is why I use Mastercook! It does the math for me! Although it does occasionally come up with baffling things from time to time.

I round up. Usually a little extra egg never hurts anything.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I use fractions of eggs pretty often. Half an egg's worth of pancake batter makes a pretty standard -t breakfast, for example. I just measure the egg (I go by weight but I can't imagine it matters if you'd rather do volume), whip the yolk and white together and take out whatever fraction I need (it all gloms together, but I don't care very much about being precise) and feed the rest to the dog. I don't think it would be practical without the dog.
