Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks, all! I'm off to bed now (in the bedroom overlooking MY pine trees, muahaha).
Suddenly I'm more interested in finishing the two rooms that still haven't been painted. Hm.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
There are cookies called spritz cookies, a sugar type cookie generally extruded from a device that makes shapes.
Oh yeah, my mom always made those at Christmas! I just remembered. She called the device a "cookie press."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
She called them spritzles but I think she made that up.
If she made it up, so did all my elderly german ladies.

Swedish variation on it, I guess. But hers were definitely coconut. Which strikes me odd.

Why is coconut odd?
I do notice that the Brits seem to (noticeably in the baking show, but I've seen others) all about passion fruit, which is something I feel you never see in the US.

Immigrant swedes and coconut in midcentury? My grandma was not normally adventurous with food. She boiled veggies to death. And lutefisk.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Our family spritz cookie recipe features almond extract...and not a whole lot else of note.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I have a cookie press. I bought it and then used it once, and it's been sitting on the top shelf of my cupboard ever since.
