Lots of people have very strong opinions about that one.

I, Claudia.

Thanks, I hate it.

One of my favorite things about Put Baby In Pelican Mouth is that not only does the pelican have the intelligence necessary to speak human language but also knows how to lie, suggesting it has a theory of mind, yet not enough to understand that no one is going to put baby in pelican mouth.

One of the things I'm locally-famous for is cheesecakes. I learned to make them back in the 90s, because everyone seems to like them and think they're really difficult but they're actually pretty easy. I've definitely made over a hundred, perhaps more than two. Most of them have been from the Philadelphia brand cookbook, which I highly recommend BTW. This one's special because it's my very own. I took the recipe for the "rocky road" no-bake cheesecake, minus cocoa and marshmallows, then combined that with the lemon-curd part of a lemon-meringue pie recipe, and the result is fucking awesome. It's a great combination of flavors.

There are two other things to note about this. One is that it's the first one I've made in my new springform pan. The old one was simply worn out. Also, the new one has a better "lip" which improves both serving and cleaning. Second, I'm also locally-famous for putting googly eyes on food, and this is possibly the most appropriate occasion ever.

Pretty sure the writing on the outside of that bag is there to warn about suffocation. It's the lesser worry in that situation, but still funny.

Baths are lovely. One of my long-term dreams is to install a bathtub that fits me, because at 6'2" trying to relax in a standard tub just doesn't work. Not sure where I'd be able to fit such a thing, though. Hmmm.

Just had a nice bath and I feel like a person instead of a creature. I very much recommend.
