If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Good luck, Anne!

I've just seen a rental listing with "POSSIBLE CAT" among the amenities. It's probably just a clumsy way of saying "cats ok" but I'm sort of tempted to Google the address and see if Schrodinger lives there.

Anne, you can take 2 Benadryl safely, if need be.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Thank you, Teppy. I will do just that.

( I swear, I just eat and booze my way through trips)

This is pretty much all I do on trips. This is the reason for my trips!

I take 2 Benadryl every night to sleep.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I bumped into something complete random in the Android app store: How To Start Your Own Profitable Business Performing With Puppets! If anyone needs any more information, the selection process is as follows:

Do you like people? Is having fun a prerequisite for you?

Doesn't sound like a fresh hell, does it? Profitable Puppets--look it up.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I've always wondered about the proper way to incorporate puppets into my business model.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Puppets, eh? But I hate people, so I guess that's not for me.

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

Yeah, I'd think that for people who hate people, puppets would be a good choice, but I guess not....

What do you consider to be the most important things you can do in a muffin recipe to make it have a good crumb? It's not supposed to be too cakey, but the ones I've been making so far are denser than I like them. Randomly, the last ones I had from the place near work were the *best* I've had from there. I really want to know who their baker is.

This is the blueberry muffin recipe I make a lot. It's easy and everyone seems to like it. I usually do a double batch and use 2.5 cups of blueberries instead of 2 because that's how much comes in the frozen bag.

Preheat oven to 425

1/2 c. uncooked oatmeal, not instant
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 c. orange juice
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. oil
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1 c. blueberries

First mix the oatmeal and juice together in a large bowl. Then combine the flour, sugar, powder and soda in a smaller bowl. Add the egg and oil to the oatmeal mixture and stir. Add the flour mixture to this and mix by hand until everything is moist. (You will have some lumps.) Carefully mix in berries. Fill cupcake pans (lined with paper liners) 1/2 full. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 12 - 18 muffins.

What components of the recipe cause the fluffiness? I'm not looking for a muffin recipe, since I already know the flavour profile I'm looking for--I just want to know what ingredients switched around would get me a less dense crumb.

I am going to try baking soda, less blending, and oil instead of butter next time (probably tomorrow, considering).
