so when you're ashore in baltimore, and you fancy a bite to eat, just follow your nose

I decided to make cornbread this morning. Normally, this would not be particularly interesting. However: we are totally out of cornmeal. But we have these two gargantuan sacks of polenta. That's cornmeal, right? Right. Cornmeal problem solved. Flour, sugar, salt, huge amounts of baking powder, milk, butter, no problem. Then I get to the eggs. (Egg. Singular.) We're all out in the house, but down in the fridge in the garage there's a carton. However: my dad defrosted that fridge a few days ago, and set it on the coldest setting afterward. So when I fetch the eggs, they are frozen. solid.

Let us say it was an... interesting learning experience.

In the writing department: let it be known to all that Dramatic Escape scenes are really Not My Thing.

Also, it is raining like whoa.
