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

Completely random, but one of the neighbors looks exactly like Les Nessman.
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.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday to Kathy and Raq!
Birthday Happies, Kathy and Raq!!
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.
I don't want a cake or pie in a jar, because does it come out? Or do you have to eat it out of the jar?
Many happy returns, Raq and Kathy!
Huh, I just heard an ice cream truck playing Love Me Tender calliope-style. That's a new one on me.
Eta: I think you eat it out of the jar, Jesse. That's the only way I see it working.The lifehacker recipe looks like more of a cobbler or fool than cake to me, fwtw.
Also, good luck with the pears, Liese. Just keep cooking it, right?
Right? Keep cooking it down, at some point it should have the right consistency, yes? Even if that point is tomorrow?
