janky can be used to describe something of bad quality. ie, the state of my rented house. after living in the dorms for 1 year, then an apartment for 2 years, i moved into a house a few weeks ago. it was cheap! but then i accidentally knocked a canopy into a photo eye (the […]
Marzipan Apricot Scones
lying is bad. and yet, here i am lying. there’s actually no marzipan in these supposedly marzipan apricot scones, just almond paste.
