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.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

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

Eep. I thought it was bad that the CTA trains out of the Loop all lost power for an hour immediately following last night's fireworks.

My brother wants me to come into the city to hang. Umm, no. I was hesitant before this, but now, HELL no.

Yeah, it went from warning to watch over in Howard County.
Now, I feel bad for the crowds, cause I've been on the Mall for the 4th, and getting out of there takes forever.
But I like storms.

The fireworks downtown were supposed to start about now. Given Nature is putting on her own show....I'm guessing it's been cancelled.

The broadcast tower on Television Hill must be taking hits. Stations keep losing signal, pausing or going black in line with the flashes in the sky in that direction.
