Done!
Whew.
More than enough German chocolate cupcakes are ready for Jill's wedding tomorrow. [recipe]
THANKGOD my sister lent me the use of her air-conditioned kitchen today--it was almost 100ºF outside! Our hottest day of the summer so far.
It took me four hours to bake four batches of cupcakes and to cook up a veritable vat of coconut-pecan frosting.
In the middle of Batch Number Three, I––dusted with cocoa and surrounded by eggshells––had a realization:
Yes, I would marry me, but then I would insist that we move somewhere with cooler summers and warmer winters.
But, it'd have to be someplace that's not going to burn up in forest fires, dessicate in drought, get washed away in hurricanes, swept off in tornadoes, knocked down by earthquakes, or drowned by tsunamis.

* But, really, this is a good realization, since I wouldn't want to invite love to come to me if I didn't feel I myself would be happy if the lover who turned up was me (if you see what I mean?).
