I have no idea. The administration’s changed since the great Speakeasy days as you may know, and so has the culture. So they probably haven’t the faintest idea what I’m doing.

This cracked me up. I love the idea of baking things in hellfire. Seems like there might be a bit of an essence of brimstone, though… 🙂

Love to hear that. Laughter is what I’m aiming for. Seems to me a cake baked in hellfire might have a certain spiciness you couldn’t get any other way. 😉
