"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I made cardamom-molasses cookies for yesterday's office potluck

They look good. Were they good? And how are they "smoky"?

How dare you -- how DARE you accuse me of possessing historical knowledge and being factually accurate!

Clearly your knowledge of actual witch hunts qualifies you to conduct metaphorical ones.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Primarily, he informs me, by ridicule. My pointing and laughing at his tantrum is exactly like a historical witch hunt, which I would have known if I had actually paid attention in history class. The interrogations and imprisonments and trials and occasional executions and cat-burnings were merely incidental to the witch hunters' primary weapons of pointing and laughing.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I thought they were pretty good. They disappeared with gratifying speed. I think the butter browned a bit when I was infusing the cardamom pod shells, and the small amount of pepper may have come across as a bit smokey. Mostly I tasted spices and molasses.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh lord, I'm at my friend's wedding and don't know anyone else here and I just asked a stranger for a ride. SO awkward. At least there is a charging station here in the hotel lobby because my phone is about to die for no apparent reason. I'm sure the dinner will be nice though, right?

I have total faith in your dinner, Jesse. Plus, it's a wedding, which generally means CAKE.

(Not always - my brother and SIL had organic local ice cream bars at their wedding, at which I am still a little aggrieved all these years later.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Is Denver doing anything special with Blucifer to mark the occasion

Blucifer is terrifying 24/7. Only way to increase the terror is to have a to scale Belinda riding his back.

hip deep in pie

You can do it Jesse!

I've run out of treats already. It's just 7. I bought for 50, since I've been getting 30-40 lately.

I had one girl who was very goth princess...all black lace and purple decorations and even a black veil! Adorable.

There was also a kid dressed as bacon and eggs.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I love Blucifer. I'd like a small Blucifer in my front yard.

Punishingly Intricate

A friend reminded that Peppermint Patty/ie could also be the candy. Der doy. So I've made some "suspenders" out of elastic and York peppermint patties!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The entire staff of the sushi restaurant I went to—the sushi chefs, the wait staff, everyone—all were wearing identical Doraemon costumes.
