Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

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.

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

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!

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

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

I think I'm going to go to the Evanston Borders' store closing sale. Now I kinda' feel like a vulture.
