Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

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.

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

Cheesecake is in the oven. Now I have to stay awake for another hour to take it out of the oven. I did not think this through.

Our wings are not tired.

Check out the descriptions for ABC's Blackish, Cristela, and Far East Orlando. Interesting.

It seems I watch nothing in real time. One of many benefits of Buffistas is letting others test new shows so I don't have to waste my time. No, I don't get to discuss real time, but still a good trade off.

Mmmm, warm cheesecake. The only cheesecake I have ever enjoyed was a very mild flavored variety that was served warm. It was a French recipe that is in some box with my cookbooks.

Served warm, eh? I am intrigued. The only flavoring in mine is vanilla and lemon zest; it mostly tastes like cream cheese.

When my recipes get unpacked I will share the recipe. It was lovely. In theory I don't see why any couldn't be served warm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mmm....cheescake...

"girl, if you really wanted this, you'd have it already...have you considered that maybe all your celebration of female friendship is actually that you're gay and just don't know it?"

That's hilarious -- I kind of forgot that might still be a thing.

Hard to slice, is the only reason I can think of. Especially if the center is still wobbly, the way recipes say they should be. But individual little cheesecakes served in their own ramekins served warm - that does sound good. Like baked brie.

Man, I hate nylons. It's the only thing I don't like about this temperature -- I think it's too cool for bare legs, but too warm for tights. So of course I put a run in my stockings the first time I went to the bathroom here.

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

Five days in Turkey? I need to start saving now. The accommodation will be free, since she's going to a conference. But I'm inspired by Jesse's jaunt to Lesotho, and I haven't been anywhere since Kenya, and that was near ten years ago. I'd have to start saving now.

Jesse, pants for the interim? Uh, like that didn't occur to you.

God, work, I can't.

Hi folks!

Love that Scola provided you with tea, ita. Scola is indeed wonderful.

Hil, living in LA means being surrounded by people who are convinced that eating according to their particular ideological preferences will keep you healthy and make you live to 120. It can be crazy making, and I embrace the idea that eating a healthy diet can keep you healthier, I just don't think it can keep you alive for decades longer than you were gonna live elsewise.

My mantra for now is One More Week. I get through this week, school is done.

Do it! Turkey is so great!

It basically didn't occur to me because I basically don't have work pants. But maybe I do somewhere! Also, this kind of weather only lasts for about a minute here.
