The conversation you never want to have with your boss

Using his shield, Tarnish smashed open the heavy padlock on the locked cabinet in the kitchen, hoping and expecting to find a treasure trove of delicious food. With his telekinesis, he yanked open the reinforced steel door and looked inside, eager for fantastic. What he found left him quite curious. There were liquor bottles a plenty, which he didn’t care about, and lots of canned goods.

Lifting a can, he read the label. “Creamed rice pudding.”

“You’ve found the dessert cabinet!” Daring Do cried as she came trotting over. “Oh! Spotted dick!”

“You didn’t spot nothing, that’s tucked up under my outerwear. It’s way too cold to leave it hanging out.”

For a moment, nothing happened, but then Daring Do began to turn her head. She looked up at Tarnish, her face unseen behind her scarf. Her eyes could be seen through her goggles though, and her eyes narrowed. Lifting a hoof, she made a motion, a gesture of cutting her throat, while making a low nickering of disapproval.

“It’s pudding,” Daring Do said to Tarnish.

“My wife calls what comes out colt custard,” Tarnish replied. “I suppose it might be pudding textured though, I wouldn’t know.”

Daring Do squeezed her eyes shut and let out a groan. “That’s quite enough, Mister Teapot.”

“You know, it occurs to me, when you’re happy with me, you sound like Daring Do, but when you’re upset with me, you sound more like Miss Yearling.” Tarnish lifted out a can and held it up to look at the label. “What’s creamed semolina, anyhow?”

“It is what fills the space between your ears,” Daring Do deadpanned as she once more looked up at her colleague, companion, and friend.

“Oh, that’s mean, just plain mean, Miss Yearling. “I think you could do with more spotted dick in your life.” Stepping forwards, Tarnish poked his head into the cabinet to have a better look at the strange, foreign desserts. “What in Tartarus is creamed rice pudding with sultanas, allspice, and nutmeg?”

Well, that was a detail of Tarnish's anatomy I didn't really need to know about!

Detail? There is no detail here. What?

[Mythic Night]

4448787 Oh, I see what's going on there... For a moment, I thought that Tarnish was describing some details of his personal anatomy! Sorry!

Arrrgh, damned pumpkin spice again!!

quoting http://www.bettycrocker.com/how-to/tipslibrary/baking-tips/how-to-make-pumpkin-pie-spice

What do Impossibly Easy Pumpkin Pie, Squash Blossoms, Morning Glory Muffin Squares and Caramel-Spice French Breakfast Muffins all have in common? Pumpkin pie spice as an ingredient, that’s what! A staple spice of many fall favorites, this fragrant blend is incredibly easy (and economical) to make at home.

To start, you’ll need all of three minutes and the following ingredients: 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg, 1 ½ teaspoons ground allspice and 1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves. Mix the spices together in a small bowl and take a little whiff. (Smells like heaven, right?) Store the mixture in a clean small jar or spice container. See? So easy.
