Not only for deep dish, I usually do a regular "stretched dough"-type crust. I haven't tried it with anything that might be marketed as "thin 'n crispy", as that's not really my thing.

Given the incredible variability of output over the last decade or so, those of you who are still here have had little choice, unfortunately. :/

Part of me is tempted to actually show the witches in council over this matter, but then I would have to entitle that episode "Failing the Bechdel Test" and I dunno if I need the tsuris. :)

(Well, OK, the Bechdel test stipulates that women in scenes must not only talk about men, not that they never can, but still.)

... to the Dutch. ;)

Anyway, I'll get to it, but for now I'll put your mind partly at ease and assure you that it isn't lewd. Well, not by any reasonably conventional standard of lewdness. Everything is lewd to someone...

Yeah, Mio knows something is up, but she's not bothered. A, she reckons the boy has pretty good taste, and B, her own confidence level is such that she figures if there is a problem, she'll handle it.

The thing about Eila's Tarot readings is that nobody else thinks they're accurate, and even Eila doesn't realize how they are a lot of the time, but they usually are.

These days, Flandre sometimes thinks that "I'll Get It Sorted Out Eventually" (possibly in a Latin translation) should be on her personal coat of arms, if she had one.

(Of potential interest, the actual motto on the Scarlet family's escutcheon is NON CEDERE - "we do not yield".)

Heh. Well, three out of the four people she lives with are strong enough to deploy her in a Fastball Special, which might count. :)
