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.

Not being a fan of King Cake I would say it's no big deal, except I know how frustrating it is to work so hard on something and waste the ingredients and then have it sit there like a lump or doorstop or something.

A lump is exactly what it was like. A big, dense, non-rising lump. It smelled good, though.
