Oh, god, I'm glad I didn't see Nashville, because I might have used it, and then I would totally have deserved the cliche hammer.

Nice so instead of seeing that people may have had a point, Cake Wrecks just doubles down on the king cake thing. [link]

I think that's the problem with snarky humor sometimes. Mocking something you're not a part of is risky,

When I read yesterday's Cake Wrecks post (I did NOT read the comments, however), I assumed they were mocking *badly made* King Cakes, but not King Cakes in general, since the blog's point is to make fun of badly made cakes but not cake in general.

but then when people take offense, you probably shouldn't tell them not to be so sensitive, and then mock the fact that they were offended.

I totally agree with this.

Even if I didn't pick up on the parts of yesterday's post (and the comments) that were mocking the King Cake tradition, there's really never any call to make fun of people for being offended by something you said/did.

t edit I didn't say that quite right. *I* didn't detect mocking of the tradition in the post itself, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there, and that kind of mocking isn't cool. And then less cool is making fun of people for being offended.

Dishes are done. Onerosity 2 goes down.

Now for some more coffee.

I'm going to have a steak salad for lunch. I hope that holds me.

Last night I made the lemon garlic cream sauce for the pasta again, this time with asparagus. Really good! I've finally mastered the cream sauce at an age where I shouldn't have it more than once every three months.

You just reminded me. I really need people to come over and pick lemons off of my tree. It's going to fall down with all of the lemons. In my somewhat physically impaired state, I was able to pull about 15 down. That left approximately 940,481.

That reminds me! I really need people to ship the lemons from Javachik's tree to me. In my locationally impaired state, ... yeah ok.

but wah. lemons.

I should be working. instead I'm still all flappy hands and stuff.

I don't understand why I don't have lemons. I also don't understand why the DBA hasn't gotten back to me yet.

It's going to fall down with all of the lemons.

We will happily pluck your lemon tree!

Emmett's favorite drink is the one I make with Meyer lemons.

I would like to pick some lemons!

Also, why is everyone so crazy?

Some supervillian put a crazy-ray on the moon, aimed at the Earth.

It's been up there for a few thousand years at least.

SO sad to be on this side of the country right now. The opposite side from all the lemons.
