But I have no idea how you'd make them in a pan.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I looked it up because Frankenbudda (I think?) used it yesterday and then you used it

I used it today on my comment about the new Zodiac. I've noticed its use here, but I think I picked it up from Nora (both here and IRL).

and I was like, "What's up with all of the shenanigan use!"

So you're calling shenanigans on "shenanigans"?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Pancake ball pan

Of course that's the answer! Hee.

My old coworker used to make these red velvet bon bons which were red velvet cake crumbs, mixed with the frosting, rolled into balls, and covered in chocolate. OMG yum.

I think this afternoon I'm going to need to break into the brownies my coworker has been hoarding. (Seriously -- who gets a departmental gift and keeps it in their out-of-the-way office? Neurotic coworker, that's who!)

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

unfortunately I'd been too wrapped up with new baby stuff to even realize there was anything that serious going on there! So now I'm catching up on the news and feeling retroactively incredibly relieved that they were able to get everyone out before the coup/state of emergency.

Wow. I didn't realize anything was happening there either. That has been one of our go-to Francophone countries since it has been so stable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We made cake balls last fall when I was on vacation with friends. It's very easy, and fun for about five minutes. Then you realize it's like playing with mud, and your hands are coated with cake/frosting goo, and ugh. We had a six year old with us, and even she went from "Fun!' to "Gross!" pretty quickly.

They are tasty, though.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Won't anyone think of all the poor nutered cakes?

I had a teacher in high school who lived in an abandoned nuclear silo.
