I just spent 45 minutes reading through every single review and comment on a cookie recipe I’m not planning to make. My mental processes are working fine. How are you all doing this morning?
I’ve just spent two hours arguing over whether vampire fangs are hollow straws (they’re not), and I’m shocked at how so many people can be so wrong, but all things considered, a pleasant Sunday evening
