I have one friend who hated peanuts and peanut butter growing up, but a few years ago tried some fancy peanuts in shell and decided she only liked those. But then was convinced to branch out a bit…and now she likes it, in her 30s! My bestie (who some of y’all have met) isn’t really into chocolate—she will eat it but will usually choose something else first. She’s crazy but I love her despite that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I'm spiraling trying to decide if I should do something else! But someone is lactose-intolerant and there is a good vegan chocolate cake receipe.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think chocolate and PB or chocolate and fruit would either be a solid choice. I only like PB Choc in some contexts, but I'm weird

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Could you check with someone, perhaps? Maybe the lactose intolerant person, because if they don't like chocolate then that would be disappointing (my mom's friend once made a vegan cake especially so she (mom) could have it but used almond milk and mom's allergic so that was a bummer for everyone)

Yeah, good one -- I can do the cake and have ice cream with it, but not if the one person doesn't like chocolate!
Thank you all for helping me think this through!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have trouble wrapping my head around a preference against chocolate and peanut butter (such an obviously delicious flavor combination!) but I know there are people out there who are likewise confused as to why anyone would voluntarily eat a Reese's cup, so...yeah, I don't think there is any universal "safe" flavor option.

Dairy-free is very excited about chocolate cake! Phew.

Hooray!

Everyone else can fuck off if they don't like chocolate cake, obviously.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Dear head of lab, it is not the best idea to ask me for help tomorrow as I'm leaving for the day. I had to keep repeating the request in my head until I got home, where I sent a reminder email to myself.
