Well if this is dense as well, I’m figuring it was the recipe and not me. Either way, I found a fabulous frosting recipe, so not a total loss.
Strawberry cake 2.0 in the oven.
I swapped out for fresh leavening, cooked the puree even longer, used the hand mixer instead of the stand mixer.
We’ll see.
Chevron here is $5+
Cheapest one is $4.68
Lord of the Fries, First Lady and the Tramp…I remember the Clinton ones really well.
My favorite is still the non political one about Barney the purple dinosaur set to Christmas in Killarney
Gas jumped 40¢ this week. 20¢ overnight
Oh I used to love the Capitol Steps. Saw them perform at a conference in DC.

Not something I’ve ever really watched, but in case you, like me, are an old: youtu.be/lFV1uT-ihDo?...
I was explaining to Youngest about Oliver North and Iran & he told me he knew that guy. Then he showed me a bit from American Dad. It was surprisingly accurate.
When I say I never know what my kids do and don’t know, this is why. They get a weird mix of stuff from pop culture.
I didn’t take that post as harassing a generation?
I have a Boomer parent, am a late Gen Xer, and have Gen Z adult kids. There are things I take for granted that they know & I’m constantly surprised they don’t.
It’s not a value judgement. Just an observation. Life has changed a lot in 30 years.
I think it’s more likely they’ve lost those skills as they’ve lost executive function. Failure of memory.
Because Boomers lived in an era where they had to mail all the things.
It’s so shiny and beautiful.
And schools stopped teaching some things because it became less necessary (understandably). I was taught how to address an envelope in elementary school.
The hardest part for me is admitting I’m really not gonna use all the various condiments I have accumulated.
On the weekend list:
Clean the fridge. Deep cleaning that sucker.
Plus someone could steal their yummies
Also why I insisted they mail actual cards and not just text a thank you.
And this is exactly why I made my kids write, address, and mail the thank you cards for high school graduation gifts instead of doing it for them.
Flying is too much work.
So chonky!
K, but this also extends to LOTR, because many of the themes were ripped from the Eddas.
Yes, they do. There are voles in this particular pasture they like to snack on.
I think Las Vegas is the only exception to that rule.
Verdi is verd-eye
Eli- is eel-y
Absolutely a face saving move for him that lets them pretend he’s “promoting” her.
They never admit mistakes. It’s his MO.
Basically never pronounce anything in Nevada like you would if it were actually Spanish 😂
Neh-VA-duh.
A like in cat.
Never Neh-VAH-duh
It eats the meats like voles in holes.
I feel this way about people talking about Nevada. If you can’t say the state name correctly, shush.
