With Dillo, it's kind of chocolate or nothing. His attitude to chocolate is much like that of a stereotypical pre-menstrual cat-lady librarian.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Yeah... as I sit here eating a piece of chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, I kind of get that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Congrats on being done with the job, flea! (?)
Two sounds about right: one for now, one for tomorrow breakfast. I've never heard of a funfetti cupcake before, though. I am suspicious of this unfamiliar treat.
It's just vanilla with sprinkles cooked in. And yes! For those of us who live alone, two cupcakes is ideal. Even if it's two for now and none for tomorrow!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The word "adult" as an adjective always makes me want to look around for Larry Flynt.
Well, yes, but look who's talking, adult fun-lady.
Lifehacker had a link to a recipe for mini-cakes baked in canning jars. They looked quite tasty. Had fruit in them. Better than this "funfetti" business. I don't trust it either.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Aw, man, now I feel like I should check behind the couch for Larry Flynt. You never know where he'll turn up.

Because books.
Completely random, but one of the neighbors looks exactly like Les Nessman.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hm, I think I'd have to buy a different shape of canning jar from what I have to make that work. And then I don't know if I'd really be comfortable baking them. But I bet I could do like individual steamed puddings in jelly jars. I'll have to think about that.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday to Kathy and Raq!

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

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I can't put cupcakes in my canning jars. I am putting pear butter in my canning jars.
But once again, I love how my optimism at the beginning of a canning process gradually descends into chaos and cursing by the end of it, wherein I stare sadly at one, maybe two, jars of overprocessed, inedible, sugar laden goop. At the beginning, I have a heap of lovely looking produce and the belief that it will magically transform itself into infinitely preservable jars. And I always clean too many jars, believing that I will get a much larger yield than I actually will.
Today's casualty is the edge of my kitchen counter, where the formica has pulled away from the counter because of the pressure of my food mill clamped to it. I worked out a reasonable substitute, by clamping instead to my marble pastry board, but it was still a pretty untenable solution. And it's pretty clear I should have cooked down the pears much longer at the beginning, because I have more pear juice than pear sauce at this point.
Oh well, it's in the crockpot, and I refuse to bemoan my pear butter fate. It will be what it will be.
