I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

up to and including the wine bottle rolling pin

Even my normal rolling pin is barely long enough for me. Rolling with a wine bottle is only something I've done once and it drove me crazy.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh, it's crazy aggravating, no doubt. But I can never seem to remember I need to buy an actual one, and I don't know where I'd put it if I did.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have two awesome looking pink rolling pins, but they are hollow plastic and therefore have no weight to them - awful to use. My regular standard size wooden one just goes in a drawer with things like melon ballers and salad tongs and whatnot kitchen stuff. It fits in diagonally.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Who wants a custom Intramural Zombie Hunter shirt? You can ask for Some Gore, More Gore, or Lots of Gore.

I haven't been able to internally justify a marble rolling pin, just a wooden one. Which goes in the off-size drawer like msbelle's. But if I had one as long as I wanted I'm not sure where it'd go.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a fab marble rolling pin, that I think I got at Lechter's going-out-of-business sale. It currently goes in the cupboard that has cookie sheet and etc.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have a marble rolling pin, but I don't use it nearly as often as I use my big snooty French-style rolling pin. I like it because you never have to clean bits of dough out of the hinges.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have a marble rolling pin that sits on a little stand on the counter and a wooden one that goes in a pullout wire drawer in the awkwardly shaped cupboard that couldn't usefully hold anything until I installed a drawer in it.

My standard pie crust is like that one but with more measuring and less smoking and no freezing of anything. Half as much butter/shortening (whichever I've got) as flour, and half as much water as butter, mixed with my hands and rolled out not nearly as thin as it's supposed to be. I don't know if it's flaky or tender, but it tastes fine to me. I do mean to try the CI recipe with vodka at some point, but that requires buying vodka.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think we missed an opportunity for Buffista Island. Or Buffista Stadium.
