In other news, my roommate left me with eleven eggs. I don't eat eggs. What the hell do I do with eleven eggs? (Look, I can cook, sort of, and I can bake, also sort of.) Recipes, anyone?

DUDE. Although I don't have a mixture, so alas, but WHEN I GET HOME.

Yeah, I use a hand-held mixer, since I don't have a bowl blender, which sucks (15 mins holding a blender is booooring), but the end result is so worth it.

Beating by hand (with a spoon) sucks. This is why I, like, browbeat my mother into getting a really good hand mixer, and I think it changed the world a little for the better.

Walmart sells electric blenders for $5 or $10, which is where I got mine. It's saved my life.

Hmm, I wonder if I should spring for one...well, I've been saying the same thing about getting either a little coffee machine or an electric tea kettle to boil water.

Ooh, don't bother spending money on a coffee machine, get a little electric kettle. Those things are amazing, seriously.

Probably especially once we consider the fact that I don't actually drink coffee. *grin* Besides, boiling water in the microwave freaks me out.

Yeah, I used to have one, only used it for, like, hot chocolate or whatever. But it was so nice to have.

I am a fan of these things:

They use a lot of eggs without tasting eggy.

Oh, Dutch babies! I haven't made those in ages; I used to have the recipe memorized, but not anymore.

My mom makes them but I don't know what her recipe is, otherwise I would give it to you. I figure they can't turn out too badly whatever recipe you use, though. mmmm, dutch babies. my favorite kind.

We made them in the cooking class I took last year, and I have the recipe lying around at home somewhere...

YES, get some instant brownie or cake mix, i agree! how appropriate, after your "I EAT NO EGGS" post and it's like they're responding, "OH YEAH??"

i tried to write the 'thank you in kind' but i think i'm hardwired to fade to black. this is what i ended up with before i got distracted with my narnia exchange assignment ("i am not impressed with the situation we find ourselves in," peter concluded, and although he uttered no explicit accusation, the accusation was clear.) there are no names (i didn't do that on purpose, it just happens sometimes) but i think we know who i am talking about here--

but sometimes he would let himself remember the softness of her kisses and finds himself at her door when the house is next empty. she lets him in, lets herself be pushed to the bed, unbuttoning her own blouse when his own fingers can't, clumsy with forgetting and guilt, because the last time she appeared at his door, he had not refused her either. it's uncommonly hard to say no. oh, he's said it, and she's said it, but the problem is that they never just see who they are now, what they are now. even in starched shirts and scuffed black shoes, their hearts expect to see the queen with an endless chain of suitors and the king who conquered giants, radiant and beloved, and how these former selves linger like souls separated from bodies. with every awkward kiss and gasp of pain, they remember a time when it was easier than this in every way.
she seems more fragile at this age than she had been the last time. her wrists are thinner and her skin paler, and her lips are dry and cracked from the london winter. her cheeks are flushed with exertion as she pins him to the headboard and moves against him all familiarstrange, the experience of a woman and the awkward limbs of youth. he finds himself undone at the way she closes her eyes and parts her lips and makes no sound, her head thrown back as he kisses along her clavicle, remembering when silence was not a given and never had to be.


PERHAPS MORE LATER. but for now, there is my paper of flailboat to figure out. my professor wrote back all, "yeah, you can write about it, but put it in a bigger context." ????? what bigger context than narnia?!? obviously he has not thought about it as MUCH AS I HAVE.

The first use *I* thought of for them was vandalism. Probably not a good idea! *shifty eyes*

Probably not, no. I don't really want to get hauled off by TUPD or NOPD.
