So I signed up to bring cake to the big family dinner tomorrow night (now that everyone’s fully vaccinated huzzah!) so I’m in the baking aisle at the store thinking “Hm, 20 people, should probably do 3 round cake pans’ worth, so that’ll be 3 boxes.” And into the cart they go.

It’s only after I have them all dumped into the bowl and I’m adding 9 EGGS and 3 FULL CUPS OF MILK that I start to wonder, “Maybe something’s a little off here?”

And behold on the back of the box the instructions say it makes enough for two round cake pans.

And now it’s 10pm and I’m on the verge of tears because trying to mix so much sludge at once activated my carpal tunnel and I have run out of pans trying to cook the 8 pounds of chocolate doom I’ve created, and now I’ve also run out of places to put them and there’s STILL 3 MORE IN THE OVEN

moral of the story, and i cannot stress this enough: read. the. BOX.

#they better be hungry for cake because i cannot have this in my house #i WILL make myself ill i have zero point zero two self control when it comes to chocolate #i just wanted to make sure we'd have enough #i don't have enough friends to pawn off these cupcakes #also: do you KNOW how much whipped cream i'm going to need to top these suckers #good thing i bought the big carton on a whim

Conversation

The Avengers and Their Favorite Reality TV show(s):

Steve: Steve is trying to adjust to life in the 21st century, and in order to do that it would be easiest for him to learn from the TV. He is SHOCKED at the content seen on shows the other avengers watch. He finds himself watching a lot of challenge based tv shows. (He loves cupcake wars) Chopped is one of his favorites and so is Cake Boss. He loves watching celebrity interviews as well, it helps him get acquainted with todays culture.

Tony: Tony walked in on Pepper and Natasha watching Real House Wives and needless to say, he was so entertained. This then moved onto him watching all of the Real House Wives spin offs, Mob Wives, etc. Their rich lifestyle is relatable to him and he cant help but yell at the TV (with a drink in hand) in encouragement when the wives argue. Tony also LOVES pawn stars.

Natasha: If you watch TLC on sundays, you know the line up, its 90 day fiancé, sMothered, Love after lockup, etc. Natasha cant get enough of those shows. She even has a secret reddit account to keep up with the drama and to comment on the dumb antics of the shows subjects.

Clint: While being Nats closest friend, Clint gets in on the drama. However his favorite show to watch is Love After Lockup. His wife once walked by and said "Ugh this show is so trashy how could you wa-" "ITS WHAT?"

Thor: Thors favorite reality shows are Dance Moms, 90 day Fiance and Keeping up with the Kardashians. When Thor started visiting Earth more he inquired as to what the culture was and began watching TV. He then fell into a rabbit hole of trashy reality shows that he finds HILARIOUS because "Humans are so tiny!!"

Loki: Loki, like Thor, thinks humans are tiny and a bit pea brained. While bored on Earth he decides to turn on the TV. "What in bloody hell is Bad Girls Club?" He loved it. the cat fights, the bitchiness, the backstabbing, EVERYTHING. It was so dumb but entertaining to him. He also will watch ancient aliens and argues their points with his many years of life experience.

Sam: Sams guilty pleasure is Jersey Shore, he even goes as far as wanting to see Pauly D live. It reminds him of his party days and he eventually gets Bucky to watch it with him.

Bucky: "Sam for the 5th time I don't want to watch Jersey Shore." *Is completely enthralled in Jwoww fighting Angelina 15 minutes later* Since Bucky is from the 40s he's a bit confused at the content at first but eventually finds it entertaining. Bucky also loves watching how they make swords on Forged in Fire and he watches pawn stars on Saturday mornings with Tony. (He might even recognize a few items from the 40s)

Peter: Peter and MJ watch the bachelor and bachelorette and have bets on whos goes home. He also loves watching Ancient Aliens and other science TV shows. He also watches kitchen nightmares on youtube, Peter has seen a lot as Spiderman but the one thing that will always scare him is an angry Gordon Ramsey.

Wanda: Wanda loves wholesome reality shows like Say Yes to the Dress, Four Weddings etc. She also enjoys the entire Investigation Discovery channel and will try to figure out who the killer is before they do. She also has a soft spot for home improvement shows that she watches with vision.

Vision: Vision doesn't watch much TV but when he does its with Wanda. He enjoys watching how its made, and all the home improvement shows you can think of. He often will fantasize about doing the same improvements in his future house with wanda.

Pietro: Pietro loves spooky TV. Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters, The Dead Files. Be prepared to hear what Tony calls "Girly" screams coming from Pietros room on Friday nights when he binge watches these shows.

Bruce: Bruce LOVES science shows, its common knowledge. He watches The Unexplained, Ancient Aliens and How the Universe Works. He often finds himself arguing the TV in his head. When Bruce isn't in his science mood he enjoys Cake Boss, Married at First Sight and some of the shows Natasha watches.

Nick: Nicks guilty pleasure is early 2000s reality shows, they remind him of the "Good old days." He loves watching re-runs of Flavor of Love, I Love New York, Charm School, Next, etc. He also STANS Tiffany "New York" Pollard.

Coulson: We all know Coulson watches Dr. Phil when he gets home. We also know he loves the more mundane TV shows like extreme couponing, my strange addiction, etc. He even gossips with Natasha about 90 day fiancé from time to time. He also is a big fan of Americas Next Top Model.
