why all that sugar

Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
At home on my day off with no car. Today I'm going to can for the first time, maybe make lentil soup. Maybe mozzarella.

another librarian said that one of her neighbors just donated his house to the local firehouse so they could burn it down for training purposes (he was rebuilding anyway).
That is awesome. I wish I had an extra house so I could do that!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I like the idea of a mystery wine cavern.
I'm with ita on frosting. Although it's not so much that I don't like frosting as I am not used to it and now it tastes weird, I think - decades of avoiding it because of corn starch and the like.
My dad has done training that involved controlled burns(he was on the aux fire crew at the oil refinery and they trained with the real firemen occasionally (at a site Mythbusters have used, I believe)) and it sounded extremely cool.

I like a thin schmear of frosting. Cupcake shops which do things like hide an extra ball of buttercream inside the cupcake? Not cool. Give me the rest of my goddamn cupcake please.

I will take all of your frosting. Especially chocolate.

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

Fucking stealth twinkie shit.
I think. I've never had a twinkie. Is that the twinkie value proposition?
We could negotiate a ball of ganache, though.
The only icing sugar involving frosting I eat is that rock hard sugar shell that goes on top of a marzipan layer for our traditional wedding cakes and some Christmas cakes. But I also eat maybe half a forkful per slice of cakey goodness.

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
Been slammed all day at work and am just seeing any news now.
Dear God.
In other disaster news, a guy who in-person-saw the Boston Marathon bombing also saw the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas this week.
I have a friend who moved back home to Japan after finishing school in NYC. When I finally reached her three days after the tsunami (minor damage, all relatives alive) and asked her what it was like she said "It's a lot like 9/11"
That just seems unfair.

What is so tragic about the fertilizer factory is that 11 of the 12 dead were volunteer first-responders. The plant caught fire, they went to put it out, and then it blew up and killed them. So awful.

Because books.
Even I have limits on how much buttercream I can eat.
