foooooood!
The deadline for submissions for Potluck is today!! I am extending a ~24 hour grace period, though, as I'll be compiling over the weekend.
-- also, my kitchen smells like this cake! Or rather my modified version: I used lemon and orange zest, just because; almond extract instead of vanilla because I failed to find vanilla while rummaging in the cupboards; and I cut down the sugar to somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 cups on the grounds that I wanted to stir in some honey and/or blueberry syrup instead! Except that- story of my life- my blueberry syrup was half-frozen in the fridge, and my honey was partly crystallized, so I threw up my hands and said fuck it and dumped my shit-ton of blueberries on top. And now I am trying to figure out how to decide when it's done, since I used a tiny oven and lowered the heat so as not to burn it and there are so many blueberries that everywhere I poke a toothpick in, all I get is juice!

(Hooray for extension, thank you - I am staring at a jumble of phrases and sad emoticons and question marks because nothing is coming out right!)
no subject
(No problem! In fact I decided I'd better because I am staring at various writing commitments with the exact same feeling. *g*)
no subject
Oh gosh, Potluck -- I am just drawing blanks for it, and I really wanted to write/draw something for it. D:
no subject
Aww, I know the feeling. *hugs*
