when is a post not really a post? when it’s a postcard!
but i’ve been werking. werking so intently that there has only been a break for hank moody — i only break for moody — and my right eye twitches even when i’m not at the computer.
yesterday, this postcard showed up in my mailbox, and though it wasn’t a real, live cake, it cheered me immensely.
from nellie:
“CAKE! is what i have just had in the little cafe at the back. i came to ask if they were hiring — they are not. but in the cafe in the back they had cake, walnut cake, very light, with strawberries and cream. i am always hiring for cake.”
i think i am done. done-ish, because i seem to remember that saving print-ready PDFs takes about 1400 hours longer than you expect. and normally i would say, “this calls for cake!”, or “send cake!”, but on the cards is a batch of red velvet cupcakes for the kid’s birthday tomorrow. she wants raspberries on ’em.

hey! that is a great postcard!
red velvet cupcakes! woweee! so she agreed?
hey, now! i think you need to send me a post.
HEY, wait, inspired by you i made those red velvet cupcakes last saturday, and they were heavier than i thought they were gonna be. and less chocolatey. that said, i didn’t have buttermilk and i missed out the vinegar. but would that have made ’em lighter? more chocolatey? i…don’t…know…
mine are fine — fine — just this side of ok so that i can eat them without resentment.
i hope yours come out great!!
raspberry-topped red velvet cupcakes? that kid has good taste (and is adorable to boot). belated happy birthday to her 🙂
