Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Well, the fruit depends on the region (plum and pear are also popular), but cherry is considered traditional.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I typed out the recipe yesterday, people! In addition to linking to a different recipe!! It's a custardy fruit dessert.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I just read about the DC-area weather woes. Having had a bit of that up here recently, I'm torn between genuine empathy and wishing that the White House and VP-residences get their basements thoroughly flooded.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh, all right. [link] I was skimming yesterday, admittedly.

I think I need some clafouti for breakfast.

I'll have to make do with coffee and cereal.

Cereal to add:

Clafouti is really unlike other desserts. Both the texture and flavor are beyond my powers of description. I like the description of "pudding cake" found here. Note her warning about the use of unpitted cherries!

That which does not kill you should RUN

I just like saying "clafouti."

It's a lot like "kprinkle."

It occurs to me now that it would be a good word to use for pronunciation exercises.

I like the use of "puddin' cake" as an endearment. I think we should all start by calling the following people puddin' cake today: msbelle, ita, megan walker and sarameg.
