Mmmm. I liked when my CEO was from New Orleans and we would get king cake shipped in. That was good times.

Yeah, or one year my coworker had to go to New Orleans for work a week or so before, and brought us all back king cake. Mmm.
...I have no idea what "gooey butter cake" is, but now I want it, Anne!
It's basically a coffee cake with a yellow cakey base, and a sticky-gooey custard (which when baked, crusts over) on top.
Now I want gooey butter cake too.
Now I want gooey butter cake too.
Me too. Also, a French king cake. But I'm two months late on that one.
I'm starting to think Jessica Seinfeld is onto something -- I just put what I hope is my last bag of grated zucchini out of the freezer into spaghetti sauce, and it was totally imperceptible, eaten.
You guys, I have a family dilemma. My cousin's birthday is this weekend, and my parents can't go, so I thought I was off the hook -- until my aunts offered me a ride. I don't really want to go, but also don't really have a conflict. Ugh. I guess I have to go?
Oh, Jesse. Lying is your friend.
I would like to see my cousins, I guess. This is why it's a conflict! If it was going to be a nightmare, I would just say I can't make it. It'll be fine, but will cut WAY INTO my sitting-around time.
Sitting-around time is highly underrated, I have found.
