For serious, Dana. This blog post about it [link] also references the pumpkin cheesecake situation mentioned earlier...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

WHUT?
Angel food cake, frosting, apple pie filling dumped in the opening of the cake and sprinkled with pumpkin seeds and corn nuts.
But... but... the Chanukah cake? It's eight nights' worth of wrong.

At least the Chanukah cake is just cake+frosting!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's a good way to ruin a perfectly good angel food cake....

I can't remember growing up if football was as expensive.
It's not as expensive as hockey. There's no need for a special building, just grass and chalk. Equipment is not as expensive, since cleats are cheaper than skates. also, football is more likely to be sponsored, so a lot of those costs are not passed down to the player/parent.
Also, be careful of the power of your microwave. I almost exploded my little quiche reheating it.
hence the 50% power recommendation. i had eggy microwave as well as little acrid black lumps.

Oh my god. That recipe has you buying a cheesecake and a pumpkin pie and dismantling them to whip with cream and pour into cookie shells. Aside from a pain in the ass and a ton of mess, that's like $20 worth of groceries. But, no corn nuts.

Part of the problem as well (as my parents found out first hand) is that with football and other sports you can generally figure out if the kid has the slightest talent or affinity for the game before investing in all the equipment. Hockey, not so much.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, looking at the Kwanzaa cake was another mistake. I'm nauseated again. Though that may not have anything to do with my being sick.

Except for the part where marshmallows aren't kosher and the Star of David decoration is completely whacked.
ETA: But I will concede that at least she didn't try to get into the "spirit" of things and deep fry the bastard.
