this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Not only thaw it, but then press it between paper towels to get the excess water out of it, or else you might have too much liquid in your batter and the bread might be funky. Learn from my tragic mistake.

Ah, excellent call. But isn't that just the moisture that was supposed to go into the bread anyway? Science is hard.

It's possible that my zucchini had been frozen for an excessively long time, and a lot of frost/ice crystals/glaciers had built up on it, and so all that permafrost thawed with the zucchini and resulted in excess moisture. All I know is that the bread that resulted was...not pleasing.

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

Piven is totally trolling us, right?

I hope he's in his bunk with her.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I also say "That'll do, pig," having never seen the movie. And I also frequently follow "It's possible" with "pig. I might be bluffing. It's conceivable, you miserable, vomitous mass, I'm only lying here because I lack the strength to stand."

Okay, usually most of that is in my head.

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

In case anyone knows any annoying Ayn Rand fans:

Ayn Rand took government assistance while decrying others who did the same

I tend to quote Aliens more than anything else. "It's the only way to be sure" covers a lot of stuff IRL.

I've been using "Drop. Your. Sword." in my head a lot recently. But I have some aggro I need to work off.

God, I love The Princess Bride. Just love.
