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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Daniel Radcliffe is a Tom Lehrer fan? I may have to fight Aims for him (even though he left off the tag, which is almost the best part of the whole song).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sounds good, smonster!

Health~ma for Taz!

Always Anti-fascist!

Daniel Radcliffe is very cute, but I think I've been about the silver foxes for too long...he does not look finished yet. Maybe he will become eligible under the Grenier Exemption...I don't know.

Compassionately intolerant

I'm definitely with erika in re the silver foxes. I've come to believe men really grow into their looks. George Clooney never appealed to me until about 5 years ago.

He has only gotten better-looking, but I thought Dr. Ross was hot, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tucker was hot!

Some guys have got it going on pretty much their whole lives. Some guys (aka Jensen Ackles) get more manageable with age.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Easy-procedure and quick-recovery~ma to Taz, and ease to Tom and Nora, too.

Have a fabulous time, smonster!

I hope they settle things as much in your favor as possible, Seska. And frak their own convenience.

men really grow into their looks

I agree. But I find that I appreciate the younger form purely aesthetically, apart from how attracted I am to a person. It's an observance that nods to the ballet and sculptors (Bernini's David comes to mind): the long bones of the limbs, the strong bones of the face that emerge from childish contours at adolescence, the slight accumulation of the musculature of an adult, but before the bulk that maturity adds. In motion, it's a coltish--or giraffesque--grace. There's an appeal removed from the sexual that's entirely different from the simple lusty interest for an older, more mature form.

Just me then?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Quick skippy/skimmy question: if you double a cake recipe, do you double the baking time? I'm making a carrot cake (from scratch, holy shit) for Tim's birthday, doubling the recipe, and baking it in a rectangular 9 x 12 pan (or whatever the exact dimensions are -- you know, the big rectangular pan).

The original recipe called for it to be baked in an 8-inch layer cake pan, for 25 minutes.

It seems like 50 minutes would be WAY too long for a double recipe, especially in a rectangular pan where the batter will be spread out.

Any advice? I was just going to start checking on it at 25 minutes and go from there.

(Also, I have never made a cake from scratch before. God help me.)

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 would not double - I would probably add about 5-8 minutes and then start checking every few minutes.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

You can do it, Steph!
