Sweet Nothings

[laliandra]

How is everyone? Surviving the second Friday 13th in as many months?

I? Am totally a Domestic Goddess!

Ok, that's a terrible lie, seeing as I am The Messiest Person Ever, but I have been cooking many exciting things.

I made a massive dinner for me and Nat on Wednesday, admittedly with his help. We had lamb chops and new potatoes and peas and gravy and sweet potato mash. And nothing went wrong! It's a culinary miracle, people! I'm a student. I'm supposed to be subsisting on noodles.

Also, I decided to make cupcakes. We had most of the ingredients and I had the urge. Plus Colline had the urge too, and you shouldn't go against The Hive Mind. I'm not usually that into cooking, it's something I do because I have to eat and I like to eat nice things, but it's not a passion. At all. I am a great disappointment to my father in that regard.

But baking, now there's something I can get into. The whole process makes me very happy, and I can actually produce delicious baked goods. I have few skills in life, but cake is definitely one of them!

So I made vanilla cupcakes with pink icing, lemon butter icing and also butterfly cakes. There were also many hundreds and thousands (or "sprinkles" as I believe you colonials call them) used and scattered about the kitchen.

Also, hilariously

You Are a Vanilla Cupcake

You are very sweet and mellow. You are easy going and easy to like. You are drawn to those stronger personalities. You get along with powerful people. You are like a cupcake because you appeal to almost every type of person. You are friendly and accepting. You bring out other people's best qualities.

What Flavor Cupcake Are You?

Yes, out here in the colonies we have funny names for things, like "sprinkles" and "sausages" and "fries."

Those look delicious! And oooooooo, you had a Real Culinary Date Dinner, good for you :) Being a student is no reason not to *~indulge~*, my dear.

Apparently I am also a vanilla cupcake! The Hive Mind strikes again! (and one of these days someone - perhaps John Hodgeman - will actually tell me what that means.)

Oh wow, you've made me crave butterfly cupcakes now...

Mmmm, delicious cupcakes! I may be tempted to bake something as a treat now... And if we're speaking of cupcakes, I am apparently a chocolate one! :D

Also, I declare that Friday the 13th bad-luck free, simply because it is my birthday and I can! Ha.

Oh you crazy colonials. Wait, "sausages"?

Being a student with a boyfriend with a job is a good reason to indulge, seeing as he can afford to, you know, buy meat. It kind of accidentally turned into a Proper Meal. He has dark suspicions about my cooking after I burnt noodles. And a pizza. Hmm. Nonetheless, two incidents in three years does not a bad cook make!

I am probably using it wrong. Collective conciousness? Brain twin?

DO IIIIIT!

I have an easy recipe if you need one. I have made 2 people succumb to cake baking so far!

Oo, are you dark and mysterious?

Darnit, I knew there was something I was forgetting. Happy Birthday Ria! Here is an icon I found for you. I cannot make them, but I can pick them! It's by jillicons

Why, of course! xD

Thank you! <3 Ha! I knew I needed that one free icon space!

[mcollinknight.livejournal.com]

Do you not call them "bangers"? Or is that just a stereotype?

OK, that is what I thought, and no, you're (probably, I wouldn't know) not using it wrong. It is the internet, WE MAKE OUR OWN RULES XDDD

No! I had completely forgotten that there could even be another word for sausages. Only used in an ironic way, or with mash.

I LIKE THIS IDEA. Also, it means I don't have to change the tag...
