These days, there's a holiday for everything from punctuation to pie. If you could create your own holiday, what would it be and how would you celebrate?

Sleep Appreciation Day! Where we get the day off to focus on snoozing, napping, dozing, and siestas.

It's right either way...

We're talking about the epinomic fail all over, and my professor's accent makes "reasonable interest rates" sound like "risible interest rates" instead, for the HAHA.

Via [info]i_am_allan... a meme I can get behind (I just love dames).

"I'm the nicest goddamn dame that ever lived."

Your Score: Bette Davis


You scored 35% grit, 28% wit, 19% flair, and 33% class!




You're one smart cookie, and you know it. You also know how to let everyone else in on the deal. You've worked hard to get where you are, and sometimes you might not have played fair. You are ruthless but charming, and the light of intelligence sparkles in your eyes. When cornered, you can and will act, but you'd rather have things go your way and live a life of ease and comfort. It's not a great idea to cross you; you will run the competition down like a rabbit, and leave them wondering what hit them. Your leading men include Errol Flynn and Paul Henreid, men who like a feisty gal with a touch of class.

I see evidence of tomatoes!



Also, I made a cake last weekend that I thought was attractive, even with the lopsided circle on top.



It's a Cookies and Cream Cake - a cake I made up but I'm probably not the first. It's white cake with chopped up Oreo cookies added to the batter, white chocolate pudding-like filling, and fluffy white frosting with more Oreo crumbs on top.



Yum.

Fancy cakes

I took a Cake Decorating class through AA Rec/Ed, and I really enjoyed it. We spent the first few classes using unflavored frosting on plates, for practice. For the last class (our "final") everyone brought in an actual cake to decorate.

Here's mine:

So while I was home alone last month I very wisely invested $20 in a bread making class at Zingerman's Bakehouse. It was highly educational and very fun, as I got to help load the gigantic oven using the speed loader belt apparatus. The best part though, was the crazy insane amount of awesome bread we got to take home.



How cool is that? I could have taken more, but even this much filled both freezers, fed some co-workers, and covered the counter for a week. Seriously, considering Zingerman's retail prices I must have gotten $100+ worth of bread for $20. Plus a cinnamon roll! Can't beat that.

Next time don't be so resistant!
