Double boiler for chocolate. I don’t trust the microwave with that. It’s too easy to get it burnt.

When I’m melting two sets of butter for the two batches of cookies I’m making at the same time, it’s much easier and efficient to melt it in Pyrex measuring cups in the microwave. That way I don’t have to keep my eye on the stove while I’m measuring and mixing the other ingredients.

British for burner, maybe just English, I’m not sure if it’s a regional term but I have heard it.

I ran into this the first time because I moved to a place with a more powerful microwave. I set the usual time for the butter for my pecan bars and got a nasty, messy surprise. I am now very careful.

Now that I think about it, is General Lane the only father/father figure who hasn’t worked in the Arrowverse? Detective/Captain/Chief/Deputy Mayor/Commandant/Mayor Lance worked from day one, as did Joe West, Gambi and all of Supergirl’s mothers and mother figures. Luke Wilson is so good in Stargirl that he gets his…

I don’t think he can forcibly convert her. The whole scene with Emily seemed to imply that the Kryptonian’s needed active consent to take over the body. He was really pushing Emily on how much she had to want to change. I think that was why.

Also, if she wants to help the poor, they probably can’t afford tickets to major sporting events.

I hope she could use her powers in a more toned down fashion to make the rest of the committee agree with her and cut through red tape.

I’ve loved the CBC for years, but they’ve just about broken me with this and how they treated Trickster. The cancelled it when the showrunner was revealed to have lied about being Indigenous. So a fantastic cast full of First Nations actors all lost their jobs because one White person lied. How is that remotely…

I am definitely making this! It sounds completely delicious and I have all the ingredients in my house right now. Yum!

Thank you!

Your abbreviation makes me wonder if Holt’s name isn’t a gag in itself.

I’m going to assume you know how to make risotto for this.

There’s no way to make a breakfast timpano without overcooking the eggs terribly. A lovely, jammy poached egg is my favorite protein to have with risotto, so it wins easily. My breakfast risotto is good, based on an English breakfast, but I’ll put an egg on any risotto I make and call it a good meal.

I make a breakfast risotto and even I wouldn’t attempt a breakfast timpano.

One of those random shining memories of my life is of Don Adams on Carson saying that some words are inherently funny, like kumquats.

Since you brought up The Big Night, not too long ago I happened upon an old interview with the cast talking about food. When they asked about leftovers, Isabella Rossellini said if she had leftover pasta she would put it in a fritatta. I remember because that’s what my brother does and I made a point of sharing it…

All I can say is, CW,

I don’t want to live forever, so I have no ritual foods to do so.

Bazooka Cooler!
