I screwed up. My carrot cake recipe calls for 1tsp of baking soda. I used baking powder (featherweight). Ah well. One of the primary ingredients in my baking powder is bicarbonate of phosphate or whatever that is which makes a good substitute for baking soda. These layers might be a little airy. It's aluminum-free baking powder, so it shouldn't affect flavor too much. Nothing a little cream cheese frosting can't handle.

In other news, there's a leak somewhere along my windshield washer fluid line... or the motor itself is upset. I filled the damn thing full at WalMart, tried to use it coming home--nothing. I figured the line might be frozen with a bit of summertime fluid (though there shouldn't be any of that in there). I checked on it when I came home--nearly empty again. Ugh.

I wish the parts for these things were easy to get to so I could fix it myself, but it's a pain in the arse. Damn Buick.

Finding the parts isn't difficult. Getting to the parts in my car is difficult. The 95 Buick Regal is one of the most bass-ackwards models when it comes to accessing crucial things (like the battery).
