Fighting over ramekins? Don’t those cost like 33 cents each?

Only white people buy new meatloaf pans because the existing one was inadequate.

Oooh, poor Jason. Had to make his own birthday cake. I bet that’s what caused the whole roommate relationship to go sour.

Don’t touch my ramekins, or I’ll knock your block off in a little message with tape. I’m a virgin from Santa Cruz and my meat loaf pan is too big enough.

Amazing (as is SWPL, in fact). I wish there was a copy of this chef photo attached as well — “Seriously, why would you even think this was yours?”

I do like that he called her out on her p/a note…AND totally faced her with the birthday cake comment…AND slightly mocked her detailing of where her ramekins were bought. The more I read his note the more I fall a little in love with it. I will make him a cake next year.

P.S. What’s with your obsession with the chef?

LOL on answering one p/a note with another more detailed p/a note.

I’d like to know how they can tell their ramekins apart..don’t most of them look identical? “No, you’ve mistaken those ramekins for these ones which I bought during my Top Chef auditions last summer…”

I have never lived in a place where there was more than one set of Ramekins/tiny soufflés. I would like to though. Creme Brulé HEAVEN! But why is this a “white person” thing? I think people of EVERY RACE and Creed can enjoy personal chocolate soufflés and creme brulé.

Confession: I just had to do a Google Image Search for ramekin ’cause I didn’t have a bloody clue what they were. Now I do! Useful little buggers (that I can’t believe would cause so much drama).

Although they grew closer eventually, Frasier and Niles did not initially trust each other. They did, however, agree to use false names, so Dad wouldn’t freak.

Ha, white people would argue over ramekins.
(I’m white.)

His name is Remy? Like the rat from Ratatouille? That seems oddly appropriate.

Since he found the ramekins when he was showing her room to the person moving in, that leads me to believe she was moving out. Me thinks there may be more to this story than a simple ramekin.

I have a headache from squinting trying to read note #2’s chickenscrathes.
If the chef picture was of Anthony Bourdain I would have stolen it, too.
Team Anthony Can Use My Ramekins Anytime!!

Anthony Bourdain should be added to SWPL. I also love him. He reminds me of a less grizzled Tom Waits.

So what you’re saying is if they were black they’d be having a shoot-out instead?

Hey, It is finally getting self-referential and we are ready for elaborate feedback loops here at p–a–notes.com: In this one, the term “passive aggressive notes” is used. I love it.

Maybe it was a picture of Chef, with the recipe for Chocolate Salty Balls on the back.

The Pyrex bowls and pans were all fine and good, but it’s the brulee torch that puts this over the top for fucking deliciousness.

My crème brûlée torch came with OVAL ramekins, which is what crème brûlée is usually served in, and I bet those cheapass Santa Cruz ramekins were ROUND.

Jason would use anything for bread, but he won’t use that.

I keep imagining that if you pan to the right, there will be another, longer, bitchier note that talks about how someone stole the egg poacher, the oyster shuckers, the frittata pan, the pasta machine, and the French press. After that, yet another even bitchier, even longer note with more inane shit. It goes on…

They may bitch at each other, but I’d sure like to have dinner at their place!
