I think I know who you are talking about.

How come your looking at me???

How come your looking at me???

It wasn't you! How is the shed doing?

My sister.....

 

[Wonderer67]

Well speaking of parents, when my mother baked I would sit in the kitchen and watch. What ever was left over in the bowl I got! The batter was good and the frosting !!! Yum!

I liked the cookie and cake batter better.

But each their own!

 

[Wonderer67]

It wasn't you! How is the shed doing?

Good. All closed in and the fans are on.

It’s been cold and obviously snowy now, so I’ve been stuck for a few weeks. I need to insulate the doors in the back and make sliding vents.

So pretty much 95% of the way there.

In the spring, I’m gonna wrap it in Tyvek and put siding on it. By then the cherry should be dry.

As soon as hunting season is over, I’m going to think about taking some black walnut trees down and getting them milled into 3” boards for lumber too.

There’s a place in a town near us that opened up a wood shop where you can take lessons or use their equipment. My wife is taking lessons and now suddenly I have a good outlet for selling all this nice lumber!

(as well as some friends who dabble in woodwork and one who is a cabinet maker.)

 

[Missk_2022]

I will if it’s overly sweet or too buttery.

Sometimes too much is too much.

I taste frosting and if sickening sweet i add a little salt. It will tone down the sweetness...

My taste buds don't have a sickening sweet detector. I had to think about that but, nope.

 

[Missk_2022]

Love that!

My wife took her drivers test in a dodge dart.

My mom took heres in a late 40 early 50 something packard....
The test was to go up this super steep hill.without stalling the car.... she was the only one in the group that could do it. She had been driving allis chalmer tractors since she was 8.... and the grain truck for just as long. the rest of the kids were city kids that had no idea

 

[Missk_2022]

I worked on my uncle's small farm as a kid. It was my job to collect the eggs.

My mom too. She hated the fecking puckers

 

[Missk_2022]

How come your looking at me???

No way...u r an angel

 

[subdudeme13]

My mom too. She hated the fecking puckers

I flung a few off the nest we had back then. There was one rooster that made me mad for some reason, and I chased it. Later that day my uncle asked me about the rooster, it had died, i guess from heat exhaustion.

We had a rooster when i was a kid who chased us... there is currently a rooster next door named kevin who is a straight up asshole.... he has been busted in the head with a bucket and kicked multiple times .. he is currently in solitary confinement serving life for 1st degree assholeness

 

[Oldermom935]

Heading in to negotiations!

Oh wait this is not a person identifying as a roster this is an actually bird? I just couldn't help myself

Morning, spoonies
busy day already... gonna get busier
lots of early birds in the cafe
let's see what you're all up to already

I love Ginger Tea with honey and lemon. Sometimes I add turmeric.

Trader Joe's makes a Ginger Turmeric tea. I don't add sweetener to my tea. And need to avoid citrus - it flares the arthritis in my joints.

I love it if I don't have to drive in it!

Truth

3am club meeting...

I'm still wide awake. Haven't slept yet!

Hate when that happens. Did you get any sleep last night?

That's not how it's done. You go to bed and then wake up for whatever and can't get back to sleep. But I hope you do get to sleep.

Right? I was up for the 1am, 3am, 4 or 5am (didn't look at the clock) clubs but kept going back. Not as tired as I expected today - which is good. Mid-day appointment so no lunch nap. I'm sure the cold will help keep me awake

It’s cold but not as much as yesterday. I’m ready for a warming trend and it’s not even January! Time for the fireplace and long winter naps

And here I thought any day was a good day for a long nap

My street all the time

Same - mine's one of the last to be cleared.
Dead end cul-de-sac. We're so far down the list. Interstate - Highway - major road - secondary road - I think we're another 2 or 3 down the line yet

Sort of a cross between tennis and squash. Tennis type court but enclosed so you can use the sides. Mostly played in doubles.

Sounds like what we call Pickelball?

That is the first time I’ve ever seen a mustard or a ketchup packet used for scale!

I know, right? I was trying to find something that most would recognize.

My wife took her drivers test in a dodge dart.

Took mine in a Ford LTD

Yet another side hustle... because you're not busy enough already? Just kidding. Land management is a lot of work when done right. good for you - putting all that downed wood to good use

I taste frosting and if sickening sweet i add a little salt. It will tone down the sweetness...

Not me - I offer it to those around me or just scrape and toss. All frosting is too sweet for me. I even had to change tomato sauces because I could taste too much sugar in them. This was before the gravy recipe and back when I was still eating tomatoes.

Send the frosting over to me. I love it straight up.

See? Right there...
Heads up - Carrot Cake is the only type of cake I like... but I hate that cream cheese frosting that gets mounded all over it. I always cut the cake out and give away that frosting.

Where’s Batman and L2 with a truth bomb!!

Ask and OM will provide...
Pretty sure I was still sleeping

Love it!

Heading in to negotiations!

Show 'em how it's done, OM

You are our goddess.... negotiate the shit out of em

Yeah - what she said!

On that note - back to the grind
Carpe Diem, spoonies

I make a cream cheese frosting hybrid that is light as a feather and not too sweet...i dont like the traditional

[HumpDayHoratio]

Busy day, too far back to catch up on the fastest moving thread in the history of Lit.

It was 18f this morning but I went for three! Only came up to 19f by the time I got to the park. Four of us die hards and two dog walkers. Had the place to myself practically!

Hope all had a wonderful weekend. Christmas cards today. Yes, I still do them. Stay warm amigos!

I had to do that for my mom in her last few years, too. Thankfully she didn't have sidewalks in her neighborhood, so unless she needed to go out somewhere, I had some wiggle room with the snow clearing.

Sorry all this falls on you, @Missk_2022
