Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Brownie bottom sounds good to me. I like dense, rich desserts more than many, but chocolate base with chocolate and coffee ice cream topped with chocolate whipped cream sounds divine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, friends! I'm not sure why I'm resisting just making this recipe as-is, but I am!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I would also like an ice cream cake, though without the coffee ice cream. So if you could get on that, Jesse, that would be great.

Brownie bottom sounds delicious. Now I want ice cream!

While we're talking ice cream, I made this lemon meringue ice cream pie last summer and it was so good! [link]

A crumb crust, layer of vanilla ice cream, layer of lemon curd, freeze, then top with meringue. Putting an ice cream pie under the broiler to brown was a test of my nerves.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

When I reserved a flight on Spirit for my return trip, I had forgotten they are the worst-rated US airline. There was a pilot strike on Monday or so, but a judge has ordered the pilots back to work.

Yesterday I should have insisted they book me on a different airline but I was out of spoons.

Wow, Sue, that sounds great.

For some reason I'm making shortbread cookies before going for a run. And later today I will make a carrot cake for Mother's Day.

Our wings are not tired.

I hope the return gets smoother, tommyrot.

I'm watching a live feed of DH's cousin graduating with his doctorate in Physical Therapy. The part that amuses me is that his aunt posted the link tagging 45 people, but not me because I unfriended her in the bulk Trump purge last year. The graduate's sister put my name in the first comment because we are friends. Also friends with the graduate. Yay for sane relatives among the crazies.

Good luck getting home, tommyrot.

That sounds amazing! I wish everyone liked lemon, because I would totally do that instead.

I would also like an ice cream cake, though without the coffee ice cream. So if you could get on that, Jesse, that would be great.

I'll get some extra and shove it through the tubes for you!
