in the mountains: increase liquids, turn up heat
in high humidity: decrease liquids, run a fan
in winter: sleep by the oven with a loaf for a pillow
in the witching hour: weave the lattice extra tight
with children or fairies: halve the scale, double the sugar
on the ides of march: mourn and lament while mixing, then cut down a tree
on top of a hellmouth: prepare for raisins to transmogrify into flies
after divorce: sieve everything, including yourself
when coming out: let dough rise as you expand in all directions
when longing for the unknown: put pie on windowsill, see what bites
