    What causes a dessert to be for millionares, exactly?

    Charging 10 grand a slice, typically.

    Gold leaf on everything

    Financiers

    Little tea cakes that got their name from being made in molds that shape them like gold bars, which made them popular in the financial district of Paris.

    They are freaking delicious. Almond financiers, chocolate, hazelnut, pumpkin, gingerbread, matcha - however you end up flavoring them, they're always one of my favorite little cakes. One of the best things I ever learned in pastry school, especially since they can be perfectly enjoyable by themselves but also go well with so many things. It's a super versatile base recipe that can be adjusted for larger cakes, and flavored almost any way you want. So good.

    Every time I read the phrase 'Millionaire's Shortbread', I hear the Douglas Reynholm pronunciation in my head.

    How desperate are you for sweets that you'll put chocolate and caramel on a sponge and eat it? You can just eat chocolate and caramel if that's what you want

    Look at Amelia Bedelia over here! Why don't you dress the chicken by fitting it into tiny clothes, draw the drapes by sketching them onto a piece of paper, dust the furniture by covering it with cosmetic dusting powder, and put the lights out by hanging lightbulbs on a clothesline, you goober.

    I just took one of my cats to the vet because he had some swelling on one of his back feet. I was expecting a sprain or maybe a small fracture because he wasn't in any pain and was eating/acting like normal. Turns out he's just missing part of a tarsal due to either a tumor or a bone cyst. It just ate the damn thing. The little guy is only 3 and a half and he might lose his leg. He and his sister are what got me through the year after my divorce, so I'm pretty gutted right now. I have an appt with a surgeon on Monday to discuss next steps.

    It's been required for WA for a while? Interesting. Victoria only had it become mandatory in the past two/three years.

    Edit: Oh, wait no, I think I'm thinking of something slightly else. (I was thinking about discrete PD/training on disability awareness and adjustments and such.) Has what you did been useful in practice?

    If it's any consolation him losing a leg would probably bother him less than it will bother you because animals are hardcore. But that sucks and I'm sorry, I hope he recovers well.

    Good thing they're dogs. I often have to impress cats and even with my talent, cats can just be assholes.

    The trick with cats is to treat them with the same aloof approach they have. I just show up and if the cat doesn't like me that's their fucking problem. I'm great, and they're the ones missing out.

    Don't get me wrong, I want to do exactly this. My natural reaction is "Kitty!" But you gotta play it cool, man.

    Cats like me

    just this weird thing where cats always come over and say hi, or don't mind if I go over to them

    Little talent there, of little use but it's nice

    Thank goodness I had this man on okC to tell me I can't really like Star Trek. I put it on my profile, but now I know I must not actually like it.

    Not that way, considering that his right leg is Silver.

    My guess is him. Or parts of him, at least. Unfortunately it seems like all parts of him are just "ass" and not a good one.

    Ferengi are gross caricatures much like many star trek aliens, basically they were created to be everything that the federation isn't.

    So they are gross sexists who do not allow their women to participate in their society or even wear clothes.
