flourless cake and Homer jokes

Today I think I learned that if you whip the egg whites in a flourless chocolate cake too much, you get a crunchy wafer-type crust on top of the cake, which then, since it's flourless, collapses under the crust after you take it out of the oven, leaving an enormous cavern. This kind of thing is par for the course - I make the ugliest yummy desserts I've ever seen.

In non-food news, Homer Simpson really does exist. (I thought up the Homer joke all by myself, as has probably every other human who has ever seen The Simpsons. If you're only hearing it now, you're as far behind as I am.)
