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.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

It's not as expensive as hockey.
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.

“Not dead yet!”
At least the Chanukah cake is just cake+frosting!
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.

There are vegan marshmallows which are kosher.
Which doesn't make the cake any less horrifying, but at least it's not traif?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Or decorated with the foil off chocolage gelt, or covered in lox, or any number of things!

This is true, but that would require effort on her part.

Hmm. Neither one of those is on the list to begin with.
I kinda figured, but my way was more fun. What is the list?

Also, I'm still kind of terrified by the eight-sided Star of David.

Moving away from the skeery cakes for a moment, these origami wonton cranes are really cool.
