Why thank you! I was initially going to have them pair off, but that would not have been true to the "ugh! Val's Day" vibe I was going for at the beginning.
Heh heh, I told @Bridget Riley it was a thing. (She has a lovely psychic cozy mystery series, which might be paywalled but also might be an ebook by now. Such a slow burn.)
Ha! I think I’ve already suitably disclaimed on this one because there are pretty ordinary vanilla slices out there … ans this one only gets made once a year. Good luck!
What a gorgeous, sensory-rich piece! I love how you shifted the power dynamic—starting with the 'pity' of the hostess and ending with the protagonist being the most fulfilled person in the room.
You made me hungry for something vanilla and sweet.
Mission accomplished! A good vanilla slice can be hard to find.
Love this. There’s a moment when most women realize their pleasure is their own responsibility and their own right. You absolutely nailed it.

This was delectable. So, so very naughty and nice!
And speaking as someone who also has a mortal weakness for forearms of a certain kind, I thank you for my trembling knees.

I was cackling! Also, I need to go find a pastry, stat.
Level unlocked! Let me know what pastry you find that, uhhh… measures up!
So good! Forearms are absolutely a thing! I was giggling and kicking my feet.
Vanilla slice is so good, isn’t it?
I never deconstructed a pastry as you just did, but when I was younger, I could eat an entire strawberry, raspberry, or blueberry trifle.
Trifle? That has cream and custard! Oh my.
Why a trifle is so delicious (along with the pound cake and brandy)!
It is! But they are (usually) huge!! I am in awe, sir.
A juvenile appetite. I couldn't do it now!
This was hilarious. Now I'm hungry for some Vanilla Slice. I've never had it before. If it doesn't measure up, you know what'll happen.

Oh my god, this was... indecent. In the best way. You had that woman make love to a custard slice the way it deserved, and I am here for it!
Glad you enjoyed! (And thank goodness I have email notifications for comments because I would have missed this!)

well, we don't know she was the most fulfilled person in the room, but she wasn't too worried about other people's opinions anyway.
Oh my! I'm blushing over here! And suddenly hungry. Spicy and sweet perfection.
Glad you enjoyed!
