It is even cold here! 58F right now and it is forecast for 54F overnight!!
We probably won't see those temperatures for a high until late March. I'm getting giddy over the 45 we're supposed to see this weekend.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
It's 16 degrees here. I'm at trivia now, and kind of dreading going home, because it'll probably be about 50 inside there.

Put the top layer on upside down. Then you have a flat surface on top and some small gaps around the middle to fill with frosting.

I use a bread knife to even cakes out too.
It helps if you chill the cake - preferrably by freezing but chilling in the fridge works too.
I finally bought a special cake leveling tool - inexpensive and, DANG, such a great single purpose tool.

Towel froze in 5 minute walk home from Y. Hair didn't, but only because I was wearing: sweatshirt hood, alpaca scarf, velvet hat, hood on my down parka.
Bridge of my nose was numb and I felt like a clam, peering out between the brim of the hat and the scarf.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Agreed with the bread knife plus chilling technique.
I'm such a pessimist that I'm just braced for the grand jury decision in Ferguson.
Yeah, some people around here are acting like World War Z is right around the corner. Schools in North County have been sending kids home with homework packets in the event they have to close schools for a few days.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What's with today today?
That is an excellent question. It's been quite the Monday of a Tuesday.

Agreed with the bread knife plus chilling technique.
So, "bread knife" = big old long serrated knife? (Or should I not be cutting bread with that thing?)

I imagine fishing line might work well, too.
You know what I'm gonna do tonight? Bleed the radiators!
Just gotta wait for them to be at peak heat.
Exciting, no?
