Anya ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The issue is, though, if you misread the text then your interpretation is wrong. It's a fine line to balance, but there are some readings that clearly miss the meaning of the text completely.
This! There is room for interpretation, but you gotta first make sure you are reading the lines correctly.
Re the pie dough, have you seen this: [link] Some more tips from the creator of vodka crust. Maybe the volume of flour is a problem?
I've made successful graham cracker crusts for pies. But I don't think that really counts as making a crust.
Fair enough, Kat. I had a sophomore honors English teacher who believed that there was exactly one right interpretation, though, and that sucked.
Happy medium, people. Happy medium. (which required more...intellectual capacity than I think some of my teachers had at their disposal. Not all, obviously, but a few.)

I also don't really want to talk about this, but I'm not at peace with how torn Tim is on Obama/Romney. I feel like anyone who doesn't think Romney is a shambling horror is directly attacking me as a woman. And all of our queer friends. (And what the hell, trans* rights, goddamn it, hello???) And the middle class. AND DOGS GOD DAMN IT.
I know he's more moderate than I am; I knew that when we got together. I don't expect him to be a mirror of my views. But then part of me does. And then I wonder if he secretly thinks I'm a socialist Muslim gay-married wingnut. t edit I MIGHT BE.
My grandmother made pie crusts with lard. They were locally famous pies, because they were that good. So I say, lard.
All I have to say about politics right now is, I have just eaten an entire pint of Ben&Jerry's ice cream and I barely remember doing it.

Finally, I should say that when Obama is re-elected and we are all forced to gay-marry each other, I would gay-marry all of you.
Except, I guess, the guys. Sorry. I blame Obama.
