[Sca-cooks] fondant

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

This happened to a lentil silo in my college town of Pullman WA. Whole town
smelled like burnt peanut butter for MONTHS and there was a huge increase in
the number of rodents in the surrounding neighborhoods...

--Anne-Marie, who went to college in the "lentil capital of the world".
Woohoo! ;)

My mistake. It was not in Brooklyn, but in Long Island City, which is  
in Queens, actually within walking distance of where I'm sitting...
