this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I still have a folder full of non-gluten free recipes, but I had to dig it out.

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup pumpkin
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or whatever combo of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and/ginger you want that adds up to 1 tsp.)

Preheat oven to 350. Bake in loaf pan for 50-60 minutes (or for muffins, start checking at 20-25 minutes).

t edit You could add nuts, chocolate chips, or something -- I never do, so I can't guess the amount. Maybe 1/2 cup?

Awesome thanks! I don't have chicolate chips right now but I do have walnuts. Hmmmm.

My company is starting a program about improving work they are calling [Company Name] Way of Working. Our company name begins with L and is Belgian. So, yes, we are starting an program called L'WOW.

Ok, I added the apostrophe, BUT COME ON!!! I want to make t-shirts with a big cheesy sunburst on them and possibly a rainbow unicorn.

The O in L'WOW should be the big cheesy sunburst. And the unicorn should be jumping OVER the L'WOW.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I love L'WOW. I want a t-shirt.

I just got asked the same exact question by three people in three different offices. Gotta love Mondays

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hey, a question came up at the office here: how do Americans specify start and end dates for the seasons? Do you do calendar months, or kick them off at the solstices and equinoxes?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

You mean sports seasons or Fall, Winter, Spring?

I believe we technically abide by the Equinoxi (!)/Solstices, but I tend to think about seasons (at least when I was in the midwest) according to weather. Spring is officially in March, but I didn't even consider Spring until late April. I called it winter from mid-November through mid-April.

I think seasons officially start on the 21st of March (spring) June (summer) September (fall) and December (winter) but I feel like people basically decide what season it is by the weather or whether or not there's school.

Yeah, like summer runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day (last Monday in May to first Monday in September), even though it really doesn't.

I never seem to remember, however, that Spring in the Bay Area starts in February...
