Regular two-egg cake recipe. I think it needs something thicker like a pound cake or quick bread batter. (Who am I kidding, I'll never use it again.)

LOL, I got snookered into buying the "Snowflake Cakelet Pan" in an after-holiday sale. It's sitting on the stairs (we just moved) glaring at me balefully. Wish it came with instructions on what to PUT in the damn thing, because it sure did NOT work with cake batter...

The Guardian, Pantone Color of the Year

Well said.

Ari, if you've never suffered from sensitive skin, not even necessarily just in your 'nads, you're kinda talking through your hat. I had severe face eczema for years that I finally figured out was caused by chemical SPFs put in most moisturizers. I'm on some medication now that is causing itching on the inside of my…

Must have missed that, I'll have to look it up. They take themselves quite seriously, though, and it is astonishing if you follow this sort of thing how many products you see in their chosen color — not just clothing, actual products.

You're ahead of the curve!

I worked with someone who was on this color-choosing committee... it's pretty fascinating stuff, very cloak and dagger. And you WILL be seeing a lot of this color some months hence.

I can even pronounce that with a correct Warsaw dialect!

That IS very cool. I'm pretty sure I saw him when I was IN Poland, is the painting widely reproduced, like on postcards?

And you're related to him? How cool is that?!?!?

REALLY?!?!?!? It's been a while (obviously) since I researched that. (Building a house will take you out of circulation that way.) That is news I can use!

Ba dum CHAAAAA

No offense, but that's a proto-Frat boy if I've ever seen one.

Some of Chmn. Meow's antecedents date back to pre-Colonial NYC. We call them the "Von Twerps" because there's no money left, just a lot of (admittedly nice) antique furniture.
