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?

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

(Dim) ...I didn't know cake had balls...

Trudy beat me to it, actually. The above is my standard response to offers of rum balls, bourbon balls, etc. Warning: does not work for meatballs.

As someone who used to eat canned frosting with a spoon, I'm surprised to say cake balls don't sound all that appealing. I'm sort of aghast at myself.
