x_loshttp://www.pippinbarr.com/games/letsplayancientgreekpunishment/LetsPlayAncientGreekPunishment.html : a super fun game, guys. Fill that bath! Oh. Oh wait...
And some other shit I did:
--found way to use the cream, some egg whites and some lemon juice before anything goes off!
--reorganized tupperware, pots, pans
--dishes (soooo maaaaany dishesssss)
--taste-tested new Mancunian roommate’s mom’s christmas cake against my own: nice--they used straight-up royal icing, which I still think is a mistake (though easier to sculpt into this snow effect thing), thicker marzipan and icing layers, a BIGGER cake, molasses?, more alcohol? Their cake is more moist, but I don’t like the crumb-texture as much (it slimes and slicks your fingers and tongue when pressed, rather than crumpling softly, lightly), and it lacks the spice-oomph and crystallized ginger kick of my recipe. I’ll remember the molasses next time and think about making a bigger cake with thicker marzipan and icing, but I’ll stick with heavy spicing, ginger, and the cheap and dirtily pre-made but tasty, easy to roll and nice icing Katy bought. May add more booze in the *initial* cooking, for flavor.
--read up on rezoning in IC, signed petitions and signal-boosted for Anna Sunshine (actual/amazing middle name)
How is it 5am?!
