Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Me too!

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Whoops, sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was taking down some curtains to wash them, and in an attempt not to bother my cat, I broke a lamp. Honestly! I think it is salvageable, though.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Sunday morning viewing is "Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta", and this woman is marrying a preacher named Dexter Wimbish. That is almost Dickensian in his awesomeness.

Edit: OH MY GOD the second woman is marrying a Jimmy Higginbotham.

I officially like Dana's post above.

My best friend when I was little was a Higginbotham.

If only Dexter Wimbish and Jimmy Higginbotham were marrying each other.

Bakers! After you use dried beans to blind bake a crust can you still use them for bean stuff?

I don't know that answer, but I do know that Stella Parks on Serious Eats recommends using sugar to blind bake because it caramelizes the sugar for next time you use it and makes it more delicious.

I'm pretty sure this pie is going to come out a "gommel" as my grandmother and her mom would say (a bit of a disaster). We always thought it was an Irish word but I've asked bative Irish speakers (& bakers) and they looked at me like I was nuts.
