We're having early snowpocalypse. Except, it's now ice pellets. Don't wanna shovel!
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You are apparently not familiar enough with the Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade oeuvre.
Is it okay if I'm proud of that? I want to be proud of that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, Sue. I am super happy to never have to shovel.
Yes, ita !, you should be proud of that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Jesse,
your Sandra Lee shout-out scared me.
But I laughed at the same place you did regarding doing everything from scratch. I have never made stuffing from scratch (making my own bread, making my own sausage) and I ain't starting tomorrow.
Half of the time, we are lucky that I am picking up a pan to cook dinner, much less that everything is made from scratch.
Sandra Lee though? That Kwanzaa cake?

Gotta love the Kwanzaa Kake.

I had a little nap instead of shovelling.

That which does not kill you should RUN
I was at a friend's birthday party where another friend showed up with a Sandra Lee-inspired "cake" for the birthday girl.
Let me be clear: I *love* cake. LOVE. I'm not sure I've ever met a cake I didn't like, although of course I do have preferential ranking.
I took one bite of that "cake" and seriously spit it back out. It was, like Cool Whip and -- I think booze??? -- and maybe an angel food cake and jello and I'm not sure what all else.
I like all of those things inividually (or, at the very least, they aren't so offensive to my taste buds that I would spit them out). I have no idea what dark majicks were worked upon that "cake" to make it so disgusting.
The birthday girl's *dog* wouldn't eat the cake.

Because books.

Dude. That's a nasty cake.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
The cake wasn't presented as a joke cake? The friend was trying to bring something "nice"? Ouch.
