The sugar on those cakes is way too much.

The one in the picture looks reasonable (except for the babies), but the local ones have like a 1/4" of sugar on top of frosting.

It's probably not an oops, but a bakery seeding future sales.

Now I'm regretting not buying a cake yesterday. Also, the right now Girl Scout cookies are in transit to my house. They were supposed to be ordered sooner, but things happen.

i managed four crepes last night - they were excellent although oof that was a lot. helpful strengthening for this morning's astonishingly foggy swim. like difficult to discern buoys that i knew were really really close.

Picked up two boxes of day-old pączki at the grocery store, because adding sugar to my stressed-out stupor seemed like a good idea.

Girl Scout cookies are oddly timed for Ash Wednesday.

I feel like they're just selling Girl Scout cookies year round now.

Except for the guy in the van at the dispensary, that's not the case here.

Once I figured out that Thin Mints and Keebler Grasshoppers were basically the same thing, a whole new world opened up before my eyes.
