"save your palate; save the world!"

Monica: If you were given a 60-second commercial spot on television that would air repeatedly during the presidential debates, what message would you shout out to America?
me: "Forget these cats! Come visit www.alwaysorderdessert.com right now!!" And then I'd do a little dance... And perhaps say something about how making pancakes from scratch is just as easy and 1000 times better than using Bisquick.

i mean like the idea that she made this little person
and it's been cooking inside her all this time
and now its a real live little human
so freaking incredible
him: i think babies are generally baked
me: i guess that seems right
since it's like making something that didn't exist before
much like mixing flour and eggs and sugar and butter and making cake
him: baby in the oven.. hellooo
or is that bun in the oven?
me: bun
you can't put babies in the oven
not even metaphorically
it's rude
