I have not had as good luck with the Silpat. But that was, if memory serves, a matter of baking things that were topped with sugar that melted and caramelized and bonded with the Silpat. Or maybe there was fruit involved? Something that made for syrup.

Duct tape is cheaper and doesn't leave permanent marks.

Every time I read about duct tape, I think of Laura's kids and the duct taped hair.

I'm so DONE with cookies at this point. And cupcakes.

There were about 30 kids at the party. That's a lot, right? Because I'm totally blown away and worn out.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

the child is mad at me and so what does he decide to do? sit in the chair next to mine stewing. healthy, no?

YES!

He's mad at you AND he trusts you. Your being an utterly tyrannical bastard who makes him wash dishes, himself, and eat food notwithstanding. :)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

30 is a ton of kids! Holy crap.

That is a ridiculous number of kids, Kat.

Me, it's been A WEEK. So I basically took today off. Slept late, lazed around reading fic this morning, went for a long run with the dog, and have farted about the house doing laundry and baking banana bread. Nothing productive at all, really.

But here's a question: should a resume be written in 1st person? Like, "I did x and I did that"? Because a former coworker, a tech editor, edited my resume that way and it just looks weird to me. Is that the thing now?

That's a lot of kids for classroom with directed activities and rules. You had a PARTY and sugared the shit out of them. I'm shocked you're able to form words.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

But one that small can't be good eating, can it?
