I see that that the bright minds behind women’s pants pockets are trying their hand at balconies…

…and then there was one. Y’had a good run, Latte. We’ll miss you. I’m sure Espresso won’t mind the extra attention.

An array of coffee from Café Gravity all lined up and waiting for hard-working techs & volunteers can only mean one thing: the @calgaryfringe.bsky.social Festival is ramping into high gear with setup in full swing!

10:40 - Breakfast acquired! They managed to move it along quite well. Co-op always knows how to put on a good show. 😋

Dalhousie Co-op Stampede breakfast: entered the line at 9:45. It’s… not a short line. Curious to see how long this will take. 🤔

Just realized it’s been a while since I posted a photo of (either of) the girls. Time to fix that. Sleepy longcat is long and sleepy:

Results 1/?: The clear winner for both of us was the Lemon. Ginger Spice put in a strong showing with a surprisingly delightful gingery overtone. We were mixed on the chocolate ones although both agreed they were pretty crumbly in a “not great” way, and found the Cherry unexpectedly disappointing.

Step 4: Time to eat! I made up some frosting to go with it, but but ended up not adding it for the taste test. I wanted to evaluate just based on the cakes themselves. Tamara & I both scored them 5 points in each of 3 categories (taste, texture/mouthfeel, and overall impression). For a total of 30.

Step 3: finally all cooked! For consistency’s sake (Science! 😛) I wanted to make sure they were baked consistently so only put them in the oven a few at a time. It took quite a while to get through them all. But…

The cake mixes were very fragrant. Which I suppose is not that surprising. I considered getting a used hand-crank eggbeater from Goodwill but at the end of the day decided it wouldn’t add that much to the bit. But 5 batches did leave my arm a bit tired. The Cherry one particularly was a pain to mix.

Sean Nichols @mrputter.bsky.social · 27/05/2025
Step 2: The cakes are all mixed up and in the oven. 5 cakes is… a lot of cakes. But you know what I say: anything worth doing is worth over-doing! And now Tamara will have cakes to take to work to have with lunch for the next 2 weeks! 😆 #forScience

Step 1: it begins. Strawberry Cake has apparently been discontinued in Canada, so we’re down to 5 combinations in our bake-off-taste-off. The disposable tinfoil pans add Extra Authenticity™. #forScience

Ok, so I came across this dumb meme the other day. And: yeah yeah. Dumb meme. From one of those clickbait-capitalization sites. But the wheels start turning anyway. How bad 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 this be? Only one way to find out! TL;DR there's about to be a lot of crappy cake in this house. #forScience
Meme showing 6 types of low-effort "soda cake" made by combining Betty Crocker cake mix + cans of pop. Caption: "Soda-cake - no eggs, no oil. Just add a can of soda to the cake mix. and bake per directions on cake box. That's it... Done..." Options shown are (1) "Strawberry Shortcake": Strawberry cake mix + Cream Soda, (2) "Ginger Spice Cake": Spice cake mix + Ginger Ale, (3) "Very Cherry Chip Cake": Cherry Chip cake mix + Cherry Dr Pepper, (4) "Sinless Devil's Food Cake": Devils Food cake mix + Diet Coke, (5) "Zesty Lemon Cake": Lemon cake mix + Sprite, (6) "Chocolate Root Beer Float": Hershey's Dark Chocolate cake mix + Root Beer

Exploring a castle, as warriors-turned-into-mice, in #MiceAndMystics. We are… not doing so hot, and barely escaped a mid-chapter run in with a tomcat by the skin of our teeth. For various reasons, probably not doing an Eid ul-Fitr party this year. But still getting some weekend board gaming in…

Happy #piday everyone! A little more rushed on the decorating than I would have liked - with about another 20 mins I could have done a better job, but oh well. A pie for the @calgaryfringe.bsky.social Board meeting!

Taking advantage of the Chinook to take a midwinter bike ride. Just a nice short 150km spin through the prairies before it gets cold again in a few days.

Not that I can complain about how pretty some of the recent sunrises have been, but I’m quite ready for the days to get longer again kplsthx.
