Good cake is excellent, as are good cookies, but I want to put in a word for mousse or creme brûlée--deliciousness you eat up with a spoon.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Good cake is really good and runs about even with good pie for me. But given a choice between mid-rate cake and mid-rate pie, I'll choose pie every time. Mid-rate deserts tend to substitute sweetness for flavor, and mid-rate cakes tend to be dry as well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Scrappy reminds me -- did I ever post here about the chocolate mousse I made with aquafaba? Has anyone else used it? It's frigging magic!

hip deep in pie
I prefer making pies, but I like eating cakes.

Aquafaba!!! I haven't used it but my gf vegan friend was obsessed with it for a while so we talked about it a lot.

Our wings are not tired.
Pie! I can pass up cake easily, and cookies, but pie is the bestest.
I have to keep off FB today, if I can. My rage level is way over the top. Eye is twitching. I don't think more coffee is going to help either, but that is where I am headed now.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
It depends on the specifics of the pie or the cake for me. Given a choice of all desserts, I'd probably pick ice cream first.
I'm done with winter and would like it to go away now please. It's messing with my week and my pain levels.

Odd, we apparently refer to Girl Scout Cookie types differently in Massachusetts - my favorites are Peanut Butter Patties, which you all called Tagalongs. I haven't had any in years... I think I need to go find a Girl Scout.
I was watching msnbc last night while the Warren drama went down and I am livid. If reading the words of Coretta Scott King written in the 1980s are "impugning a Senator", well that that person probably just isn't qualified to be AG???
I sadly haven't read the full text of her letter yet but I will make sure to do that today.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is this the thing were there are two manufacturers of Girl Scout Cookies? Regardless, I also sold Peanut Butter Patties, not Tagalongs.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am just hearing about this Warren business now from y'all, so - wait, what?
I am all about mousse. Foams and airs and whatnot, I love them. Whipped cream in any way shape or form. Jello topped with Cool Whip, yes. Puddings and even sorbets and ice cream are just approximations of mousse to me.
IOW, tell me more about aquafaba!
I do like a good pie and/or a good cake. And I like even indifferent cookies. Also lovely ripe berries with no embellishment. Dessert is good.
I am also deeply in favor of breathing. First night trying the CPAP and while I did not sleep great in the sense that I spent more time awake than I would prefer, I'm feeling very well-rested. Amazing!
