noracharlesThe Danish Council for Safer Traffic are running a campaign to "drive while you drive". Tired old memes become fresh again in translation!
blnchflr and calvinahobbes have reinflamed my passion for cheesecake by baking a wonderfully delicious snickers cake for our meet up. I've been experimenting with different cheeses ever since. Made a good one, except for sligtly too much vanilla. Made a too flan-y one with cottage cheese. Made a very good one with chocolate cream cheese, but I had used up the sturdy paper cups and the flimsy ones I had left over collapsed and poured chocolate cheese cake all over my oven. (It seemed more sensible to experiment with small batches in cupcake cups.)
lysanatt was a pleasure to get to know, and it was amusing to learn we had more people in common than we knew.
oneiriad inspired me with her new job, and I used her as an example of a successful networker at work. Everyone was suitably impressed.
calvinahobbes recommended the vid Jag Svär, and I enjoyed it thoroughly this morning. I never thought I would like that song, but the vid uses an excellent cover.
kabal42 handsomely modeled one fantastic Tony shirt after the other, and also dramatically displayed some really good art when his Tony poster jumped off the wall and assaulted lysanatt, so I've been catching up on Iron Man comics for a few days now.
I told a guy at work, and he sneered that he finds superhero comics very unrealistic. "Yes, indeed. Magic ponies are much more realistic," I said. He said that yes, they are. He's kind of right. He also says that I am a brony like him, but I'm not so sure about that. Being a brony involves a certain degree of brodudeness, I think?
For some strange reasonexeterlinden and ximeria have not provoked any new activities in me this week, even though I enjoyed their company very much.

Date: 2012-10-04 08:03 am (UTC)I am also determined to perfect the snickers cheesecake, because I know I can make a better one - less peanuts in the crust (though I liked the peanut sprinkles on top), less baking time, a milder caramel sauce. It wasn't too chocolately for me, because things can't be, but I understood it was for you? I think I'd keep it as chocolately, but maybe it also needs something to off-set the chocolate. I had thought about doing the usual sour creme topping, and will maybe test that next time.
