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!

Oh, I had thought they changed names at some point, but probably I just moved. Whatever you call them, they are quite good, but I feel like there are more similarly satisfying chocolate-pb products out there than Thin Mint analogues.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Yes. I'm still upset I can only get Caramel Delights and not proper Samoas.

Aquafaba! I made it on a whim because I was making something else with a can of chickpeas, so it was saltier than might be ideal (you would want to get the low-salt kind), but it is seriously magic. I just drained the can into a bowl, and it whipped right up into stiff peaks! Once I folded the chocolate in, it was a little looser than I might like, but then I froze it, and that is also great! Next time I'm going to make straight meringues with it.

Ooh, I forgot all about that, nice! I need to play with that.

I love, btw, the Chantilly Chocolate or whatever it's called, that's just dark chocolate and hot water. Just get the proportions right and whip into mousse, it's magical.

Art Crawl!!!

I feel that there is no rational reason to be choosing between desserts: cookies with cake and ice cream. And pie - for the fruit -it's healthy.

ETA: Connie - ever since you made that comment about Thor and his goat-driven chariot I have been imagining Chris Hemsworth's Thor in a tiny (goat-cart sized) chariot and now I really want to see this.

Because books.

As much as I love cake, cookies are usually easier because they're portable/handheld. But cake is next, and I will happily take all your buttercream. Pie is really a distant third for me, unless it's pecan or pumpkin or a really fresh-baked apple.

A good apple pie is the best. Especially with a little caramel in there.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

With tomorrow being my birthday, all the cake vs pie vs ice cream vs cookies is quite timely. Though I don't know if we are doing cake tomorrow or Saturday when we are having friends over. Anyway, I think we need a dessert battle royale.

Where my struesel fans at?!

I contend a really good coffeecake is God's true food, in that you are expected to eat cake for breakfast.
