She called them spritzles but I think she made that up.
If she made it up, so did all my elderly german ladies.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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.

Oh yeah, my mom always made those at Christmas! I just remembered. She called the device a "cookie press."
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.

Congratulations, Zen!
I went for drinks with a coworker tonight and learned that she's planning to leave the org. in a couple of months, probably, which does improve my chances of getting hired permanently...

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

The best dessert I ever had was passion fruit mousse in chocolate cups with a sprig of mint on top. Alas, my own attempt to make passion fruit mousse belonged in the horrible cooking disaster category.
