I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2013: That Was the Year That Was  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!

Right on, I guess I conflated Epiphany, 12th night, and Three King's Day all being on Jan 6.

No king cake till Jan 6!

I am having friends over for dinner tomorrow and I'm going to try to make a Galette des roi. I've made Franipane before, and I'm using store-bought puff pastry, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Hey I get (real) king cake when I can.

I would take all the king cake I could have, but it's not a thing around here. Also, I'd have to buy a whole one, and then I'd EAT it. (I still remember when one of my coworkers had a trip to New Orleans or Baton Rouge for work, and came back with a king cake! We all traveled so much we didn't usually do that sort of thing, but it was awesome)

Yep, I checked with the Internet before posting:

I'd have had zero idea otherwise.

And I get it when she gets it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I don't think I've ever had king cake, certainly not real king cake. Seems like a serious omission.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It's not a real king cake unless it has olive spread, though so...
