Someone whose dog I used to walk, an architect, mistakenly put me on a group text with a dozen people who are renovating a house (including the homeowners), because one of the vendors is also named Amanda. I told him about the error but I have still been hearing about this in detail since January

The best snack cake is Devil Dogs by a wide margin. Tastykake makes a good product overall, but Drake’s beats them every time on Devil Dogs and coffee cake alone. Hostess for me is an also-ran, they declined sharply decades ago
