“The red dots right there, on either side of the goal. Harder to see when you’re behind the net,” he says. “This your first hockey game?”

“How could you tell,” she deadpans and he laughs, his arm brushing up against hers. It’s a nice laugh—clear and genuine, and Lydia finds herself smiling back at him. “I’m Lydia, by the way.”

“Jordan,” he says, nodding a little at her. “Given it’s a mortal sin to be from Minnesota and not know about hockey I’m going to guess you’re visiting.”

“I could have just moved,” she says, and he shakes his head.

“No one is moving here in December. They do that in the summer, then complain about it when the snow starts and doesn’t stop.”

Yes hello, please help a poor writer assess whether a reference is comprehensible outside her locale:

Do you know what a Dutch Baby is?

Yes, and I've had them/seen them in person

Yes, but I've never encountered one/we don't call them that where I live

Absolutely no idea what that is

I know it's a food, but not what kind

I know it's a breakfast food, but not exactly what

I've heard the term but thought it was something other than a food

That term means something other than a puffy, oven-baked pancake where I live

I put an absolutely incredible joke in my screenplay that relies on the term "dutch baby," and only then found out that it originated in Seattle (where I live). Please share this around so I can get an idea of whether it's known enough outside the PNW that the joke will be comprehensible! Bonus points if you include your results and approximate location in the tags <3

THIS IS SOME 10PM ASS 5:30PM WE'RE HAVING!!!!!!

guess who is going to try to finish this knit-flat sweater in three weeks

[elisela]

eight hours and forty (knitting) minutes later, the back panel is almost complete. there are about 24 more rows to go but i’m at the end of this black cake and i didn’t have the store wind more so i need drag my swift out

[elisela]

i am so DESPERATELY UNHAPPY with the duplicate stitches but this is literally the best i’ve gotten after struggling with them for an hour. i redid the first one seven times. i hate it every time. i’m so irritated that i need to add the flowers to the top entirely in duplicate stitch and when i knit the front panel and sleeves i’m just using stranded colorwork even though it’s a pain in the ass to manage four colors and turning the work at the same time

[elisela]

i guess from five feet away it’s not that bad but i’m still unhappy overall with the duplicate stitching

[divinestrike]

gonna say something controversial and it’s that carrot cake is fucking delicious and possibly the best cake flavour
