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

Happy birthday, Jon!

I'm looking to make waffles this morning (yes, officially crazy), and I'm still only cooking from CI. They have 1 waffle recipe that doesn't involve yeast or buttermilk. For the former I don't have the time, and for the latter, the primary ingredient.

However, this one recipe involves mixing your own baking powder. I don't have any cream of tartar! Why are the being like this? How much baking powder to I substitute for 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons cream of tartar?

Art Crawl!!!

CI doesn't have a list of substitutions?

I think you can make a sour milk with lemon juice to sub for buttermilk.

ION - adorable!

Baking powder equivalent: 2 parts cream of tartar to 1 part baking soda.

I have also used yogurt thinned with milk instead of buttermilk and it works fine.

I decided that subbing baking powder back into the recipe was less messing with it than clabbering milk. I feel like I can always tell the difference between buttermilk and soured milk, although I'm surely making that up.

I don't get the point of using baking soda and cream of tartar if you already have baking powder. How is that supposed to make a difference?

Anyway! Cornmeal waffles and tea. I'm tempted to start yeasted waffles for tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Jon!

Everyone is correct about the genesis of Cowgirl Jesse.

The one gym-going phase I had, I liked the gym because it was kind of crappy, so cheap and with a wide range of just women there. It was also across the street from my house, and on the second floor, so when I was looking out the window on the treadmill, no one was looking back at me. And I was often walking faster than the jogger next to me.

Happy birthday, Jon! I hope it's wildly oscillating.

Man happy returns, Jon!

I am also making waffles this morning. Way too many waffles, because apparently after 8:30 pm I can't think my way through the difference between waffle batter and pizza crust dough.
