It's all become looney tunes with sugar packs and plastic spoons

This is neither of the posts I planned to make today, but rushthatspeaks asked me if I wanted to watch the first season of The Great British Bake Off with dinner and the next thing we knew we were making monkey bread. It came out more like sticky buns and midway through the procedure we discovered that the oven wasn't working (all hail the toaster oven), but as I am eating a piece with cream cheese glaze as we resume watching, I think it all worked out.

P.S. This isn't the post either, but asakiyume has just alerted me that Anaïs Mitchell's Hadestown (2010) is being staged in New York City. Outside of the two windows of time this year I have already planned to be in town! It's still really tempting, even if I have no idea who's in the cast. Greg Brown's Hades troubled my childhood definitively. It's not an epic tradition if it isn't reperformed.
