I love baking, but in each new house, I have to relearn the stove which sucks. There are plenty of things I make once just to see if I can (all dim sum falls in this category, as does macaroons and many tortes). Then there are things I make repeatedly that are also fussy.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

I got dim sum from the local Chinese place, and it was all very fishy scallops (which I usually love the most).

Sorry about Sleepy Hollow in here, I have no idea why I thought I was in Boxed Set earlier.

not your mom's socks.
Cashmere, I'm so sorry about your mom and I hope that the news gets better.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Cashmere--good outcome~ma to your Mom.

Paris! Woo!
I think there's some ingredient in tiramisu that I avoid. I have vague memories of reading descriptions on menus and thinking "yum, but no" but I can't recall the exact reason for that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This Conan clip with Cranston and Paul involves an unexplicit but A++ erotic fan letter and no series spoilers (well, not for Breaking Bad, but it does talk about Malcolm in the Middle...): [link]

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

t, beyond powdered dark chocolate, lady fingers, a liquor of your choice, Italian creamed cheese, espresso, and a dash of sugar, I can't think of anything else significant in tiramisu to keep a person from it. And the alcohol bit can be skipped, the espresso changed out for coffee (decaf on either) and ricotta and maybe cream cheese to replace the mascarpone. If it's made from home, of course.
I believe that everyone should try it, and I can only hope that everyone who does gets a perfect slice.
