And I see by the time stamp of my post regarding apple tarts that they have been chilling long enough for me to try one, so that's next on the agenda. ETA: well, it's pretty tasty, but that custard is not free-standing (the recipe called for corn starch which is an abomination unto me, so I left it out. Should have compensated with...something?) so deciding to skip the crust appears to be a major error. Maybe I won't give these out after all. Or maybe if I steam them they'll be salvageable? Hm.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jilli, to me those seem to have the downside of pants without much upside? (Downside = pull down to pee. I'm sure there's something else, but I'm not sure what...)

That's true. My great-great-grandmother would not wear them because of that.
But they're so pretty! And useful if you need to straddle something? IDK, but I stand by my "yes".
My old friend the improvised bain-marie approximation seems to have firmed up the custards, hooray!

I am looking at my current TiVo Season Passes and I feel like I am missing something.
I've got:
Castle
The Good Wife
Grey's Anatomy
Scandal
How to Get Away with Murder
Criminal Minds
Elementary
Arrow
The Flash
GracePoint
Sleepy Hollow
That is 5 new shows from last year. I've stopped watching Once Upon a Time and the Wonderland spinoff. Have stopped The Voice and Biggest Loser.
I just watched Gotham and I am not sure I care enough to even tape another episode.

Hooray custards!

Both true! And I am echoing my grandmother re: peeing in pants.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
The upside to those pants for me would be eliminating chub rub without wearing bike shorts or tights
Congrats Aurelia!
Lee, I am late, but my thoughts are with you and your family

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh dang! That reminds me that I wanted to watch How To Get Away With Murder.

I think, in all, I could not hang with the pants for the completely random and irrational reason that they remind me of something Charo would wear.

oh and red band society might be right on the edgy of sappy I can deal with.
I am up to season 5 on SPN, but my speed watching is going to decrease greatly now with new regular shows. I think I can hold off taping the current season. doubt I will catch up before it is over.

I think I have decided not to watch Gracepoint. And I am thinking about giving up OUaT and CSI because Sunday nights are crowded.
Agents of Shield? Revenge? (Although I'm not sure about that one any more myself. I'll watch the season premiere and see if it's got the old magic) Are you not watching current Supernatural while you catch up? Constantine?
I was thinking about picking up TVD again for Colin, but then I read the episode description of the upcoming season premier and was all WTF? so probably not.
