OK. Cupcakes are in the oven. The batter was yummy. Now, time to make the first of the three icings. (These are a vegan version of the Hostess chocolate cupcakes. One icing/frosting thing for the filling, one for the chocolate on top, and one for the white swirls. A lot of work, but they totally look worth it.)
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that sounds awesome.

I think I'm having strawberry shortcake for dinner. And a salad of romaine and strawberries and balsamic vinegar.
That's reasonable, right?

Oh & wanna know something weird? We're under a tornado watch until late tonight. It just doesn't seem like that kind of weather out there.

I didn't make cupcakes, but I did make banana bread because we had VERY mushy bananas that needed to be dealt with. They were gluten-free too. I'm getting into gluten-free baking these days, I was surprised how easy and yummy it is.

The cupcakes are sort of done. Still need to make the squiggles on top. I just tried one, and these are quite possibly the greatest cupcakes ever. (Interestingly: that sort of malty flavor in the filling? Got it by using powdered soy milk.)

They just said on the radio that the National Mall was evacuated because of the storm. Everyone who was there for the fireworks has had to either go into the museums or leave the area entirely. (In addition to the thunder and lightning, there's also a tornado warning.)
