Been on a bit of a baking spree the last few days, having decided to make one cheesecake for TV Tuesday and another for a co-worker's birthday tomorrow. (The oven's not the greatest for this; I consistently end up having to bake them 20-25% longer than the directions say.) It seems I didn't actually get around to screwing the cap on the vanilla bottle Monday night, though, as I found out when reaching for the garlic salt to make dinner tonight. You know the huge-ass bottle of vanilla the size of a juice box that normal people look at and think, "There must be someone on the planet who uses that much"? Mine used to be almost full. It's now half full. I got to experience firsthand (the right one, and most of the forearm) the evaporation rate of an alcohol-containing liquid, as well as the effect on the senses of that much aromatic alcohol being allowed to evaporate at once. No wonder I managed to get the artistic splatter off the fridge but neglected to attend to my shirt.

Ah well. The cheesecake seems to have turned out well, and the counter is now a bit cleaner. However, as we're down to the last paper towel in the house and having a sort of staring-contest derivative with it, I now need to bleach a cloth towel. Definitely need to go to some store or other soon.
