Okay, so, I made John Scalzi's Schadenfreude Pie recipe. I made a few modifications: the graham cracker crust was a homemade crust involving a cup of graham cracker crumbs, a quarter cup of animal crackers pounded into dust, some butter, and some chocolate chips, for example. Also I replaced the cup of dark corn syrup with a cup of Federal grade B dark maple syrup, because I was at a store that had the maple but not the Karo and the Spirit of the Frozen North is not to be denied, at least not if you're me. And the recipe works great even without the Kahlua, and the pie is fantastic...

... but, um, so totally not something you should eat within two hours of your expected bedtime because you might as well be strapped into the chair in Marathon Man for all the ability you will have to close your eyes and keep them closed once the pie hits your bloodstream. Great googa mooga.

On an unrelated note, can anyone point me to a good tutorial on vidmaking for Windows? Because my brain has been poking me that IT'S TIME TO LEARN, BEEYOTCH, and frankly the last time it got like this I had to search through four separate states and multiple municipalities to locate a source for commercially available lye.

(To make soap. Jeez, people.)
