Jun. 26th, 2004 05:54 pmDenise: "Can I borrow your bike?"
Me: "Sure. Oh, I have the brakes really loose, so just test them out on your way out, get a feel for them. Where're you going?"
Her: "On a bike ride, with Roxanne."
Me: "Oh, okay, have fun. Oh, and -- well, never mind. Bye."
Her: "What?"
Me: "I've managed to put that thing in neutral a couple times. It probably won't happen to you though."
Her: "Right. I'll fear for my life."
It turns out my bicycle is probably the less hazardous of the two they're using, though; over an hour later they still haven't left the garage, as there was a tack through Roxanne's front tire. Hm.
I baked meringues today because I was kind of bored. Made one and a half batches with Mom's grandmother's recipe, using four baking sheets, and actually didn't get any on my wysiwyg shirt, which I'm inordinately proud of. Three of the sheets were plain, one had chocolate chips. I never put chips in if I can help it, because they just burn over the 50 minute baking time, and the cookies are better without them. But Rox covered the baking sheets for me on the condition that I put chips in, so I did, and she won't admit it but I think now she likes the chipless ones better. Anyways. Four sheets. Two and a bit are gone already. I predict there won't be any left, even the icky chocolate chip ones, by ten o'clock tonight.
