This weekend visiting Mom, we went to the bookstore (natch!) and I got Small-Batch Baking. Havne't had time to try any of the recipes yet (and don't forsee having time for a couple of weeks, more's the pity), but it looks quite spiffy, with recipes that serve 2-4. I have a tendency to buy or make a cake or other form of dessert, eat half of it, and leave the other half sitting there until I throw it out. Except for brownies, which I tend to eat in 24 hours. Either way, making a smaller batch would be a Good Thing. And Mom read through the cookbook that night, got on Amazon and ordered a copy for herself, and the next day we hit the stores to buy miniature loaf and tart pans. Considering that she is insistent that she doesn't bake[1], that's pretty amazing. XD
On an unrelated note, those of you who write wonderful long posts (no, this isn't about lj-cuts...), please consider adjusting the time in the Date section of the webpage to reflect the time you post the thing, not the time that's automagically entered, which is the time you began to compose it. Friends lists sort chronologically, so when you post something with a time half an hour, or an hour or two in the past, it gets buried among other posts, which for those of us who are desperate for input and who check LJ relentlessly, we never see them.
Admittedly, I may be the only person on your friendslist who has so little of a life that I check LJ so frequently, but hey: it's worthwhining asking. :)

I've managed to catch a lot of the long posts that have timestamps early enough that I miss them when they're first posted because they tend to get referenced or quoted in other people's LJs (thank you,

Well, not that I ever get around to posting anything in this journal, but that's the work stuff again. I swear I have porn planned.

Meta-blogging
I suppose one could always make a current post in one's own blog about the newly-discovered original post and maybe also add a comment to the original post? That might restart the conversation. (BTW, LJ's spell-checker still flags "blog" and also "LJ".)
Or it might be too much like work.
