Cake failure

[featherynscale]

The King Cake failed utterly yesterday. The dough, for some reason, refused to rise. Perhaps the yeast was no good, or the house was too cold, or something. I have no idea, really. So the experiment was summarily pitched, and will not be repeated. It wouldn't rise when I wanted it to, and now I have cake performance anxiety. Sunday was sort of like that, in the lack of mojo department.

Other than that, there were four things worth journaling about this weekend, those being a visit to the synagogue on Friday, a dream of supervillainy on Saturday morning, the Nine Inch Nails show Saturday night, and starwyse's party following the show. And, in the manner of chronarchy, I'll tell you about those later.

That's what I think, too. J. started some mead the other day that seems to be fermenting no problem, but I think that a) he heated up the wort on the stove before adding the yeast, and b) it was like 40 then.

Maybe if it warms up like it's supposed to this week I'll try it again.
