Is there a spittoon at the table for the pits?!?
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Ann, that's a ferret.
And there is supposed to be MORE rain.
The flash flood watch has been extended to tomorrow evening.

Hah. No, this is where you perfect the art of hand-to-mouth-to-plate disposal.

This is what I'm saying! I can see the flavor argument, but the convenience of being able to eat the whole bite of food outweighs it, IMO. I guess this is why I'm not French.

Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies,
Just skipped a whole bunch. (Surprising, I know).
Sounds like lots of rain and other suck is going on for folks.
My aunt insists that no proper clafouti has pitted cherries, it ruins the flavor.
I don't know what a clafouti is, but the thought of eating anything with unpitted cherries in it makes my teeth hurt.

Personally, my cousin and I have long suspected that she's just lazy and the flavor argument is a cover.
But, in looking through my French cookbook, I see the debate extends beyond my family. I found two cherry clafouti recipes, one with pitted cherries ("Grandmother's" Clafouti—hah, so appropriate) and one without.

I confess that the idea of not having to pit the cherries makes it way more likely that I would make a proper clafouti. But still, it's nuts.

How interesting. The only time I've made clafouti was with peaches, so I guess it was "clafouti".
Tasty, in any case.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I still don't know what clafouti is!

Because books.

Me either.
I did get spam this morning with the subject line: "wrapping paper punish". Now I want to know if the wrapping paper needs to be reprimanded, or if it's coming for me with its cardboard tube.
