Also randomly, I learned how to take screenshots on a mac and it's unaccountably easy.

the internet has lost consensus

The internet needs a Light-bulb thread?

Thanks anyway, ita and Kat. [Edit: and Hil]

Oh, and Kat! In a book I read last night, somebody was described as wearing a chapeau. The first time I ever encountered that word and looked it up was, surprisingly enough, in a post from you. So I thought of you last night.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I would say that frosting has some form of solid or near-solid fat -- either butter, shortening, or whipped cream -- while icing has either water or milk, or I suppose it could be made with cream, though I've never seen that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The CI icings:

Chocolate Butter Icing

9 ounces bittersweet chocolate , or semisweet
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick)
1/3 cup light corn syrup

Buttermilk Icing

2 tablespoons cream cheese , softened
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 cup confectioners' sugar (4 ounces)

My favorite part is "They're 100% woman at 50% the size."

Polgara, did you friend do this one too? I LOVES IT!

Hey, Nilly started Chapeau so ^.

And yeah, good word, huh? I can't claim it as mine, nor can I claim the game as mine. I blame ita's best friend.

"They're 100% woman at 50% the size."

Which sounds like an ad for a porno movie featuring midgets.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Also randomly, I learned how to take screenshots on a mac and it's unaccountably easy.
How? I thought I knew but not. And there are times I go through weird contortions when a screenshot would be the easier solution.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I blame ita's best friend.

Everything is my fault. But, yeah, good word.
