I love it!... and now you're chatting with an old man who was born without a "moderation gene!"

I was born that way, too. We could be distant twins!

Landlady leaves the chicken-n-duck buttfruit off ice and they keep for weeks.

Of course, those eggs ain't got no Monsanto in 'em, so there's that.

Apparently, you can coat them in Vaseline or similar and they'll last 6 months to a year. A trick for loading for long sailing voyages.

We collectively used to use sodium silicate to seal the shells also. Waterglass is something that's not known much about anymore.

My street all the time and pay taxes better service!

That's all still "drive through it" snow!

Night all. Have to go into office tomorrow and play nice...gag

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

Sometimes too much is too much.

I've only ever had one piece of cake that was too much. It was an amazing chocolate cake with a really thick sweet peanut butter icing. I thought I'd want seconds.

Wow was I wrong. Somewhere between the first bite, and the last there existed this complete concrete wall. My brain just "Nope, you're done now". Everyone else has the same reaction.

Weirdest thing ever.

Well, for cake that it was.

 

[Lilianna23]

Amen!
I realize it's their way or make my own (hence the dough chilling in my fridge right now) but I would really love if they would change their minds and let me order a dozen naked cookies

I like naked cookies best! A thin glaze is OK on some.

We had a few chickens. My sisters named theirs clucky and roosty. I named mine Ploski after Stan the man Ploski who was the local hotshoe at flemington speedway.

He was also an asshole rooster who chased us kids all over! I wanted to like him cuz I named him.

But he too, was an asshole.

Asshole roosters keep the hens safe. Or at least they think they do.

You can see similar behaviors in bars and pubs if you watch close enough.

I was born that way, too. We could be distant twins!

Lol!
It's a double edged sword if there ever was one!

Night all. Have to go into office tomorrow and play nice...gag

Rest well and sweet dreams!

 

[dkak001]

Night all.

Gonna try sleep for real tonight!

 

[Lilianna23]

You can with Wat. He's a savage. Barbarian, too.


Be wary if he is tookening notes, however.

Excellent! You'll be allowed at the nurse's table!

Was the 61 Impala a stick with no power steering? I learned on one that had “ 3 on the tree” stick shift. It was not easy but I was desperate for freedom and learned!

Both of my parents were avid manual transmission disciples. My mom drove a stick until she was forced to give up her keys at 83.

I learned on a stick. Everytime I went to buy a new car and requested a manual drive, I was met with, "Do you even know how to drive a stick, little lady (or sugar, honey, darlin. Insert platitude here)?"

I might have scared a salesman or three. I learned to drive in Italy.

Both of my vehicles are automatic now.

 

[Lilianna23]

Too bad we didnt talk about the bad stuff more we prob would all be more mentally adjusted

Yeah. We all have a lifetime's worth of PTSD.

I would SOOOO love to do this for my friend who is in rehab. He’s having a rough go at it and for the first time I’ve ever seen him, he is quite down.

The gravity of his situation I think is hitting him…

Even though he is a dog person, I would love to dump a box of cats on him to make him laugh.

I did get a couple chuckles out of him yesterday and brought him some Dunkin’ Donuts coffee.

Mission accomplished.

When I was in the hospital with pancreatitis, my husband smuggled my dog in! We were so happy to see each other! She jumped down from his arms onto my bed and snuggled up to me. Good medicine!

Check with the social worker to see if they have therapy dogs who visit with patients. This should be something s/he could arrange.

 

[Lilianna23]

Why would you do that on a Weekend??

JK. I bet with more and more online shopping, the malls are actually fairly tolerable this time of year.

Hope you had fun!

I know it was crazy to go on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't completely horrible. Traffic was awful. Parking sucked but I lucked out and snagged a good spot.

I wanted to get gifts for my kids but didn't want to take a chance on them being delivered. I decided to go to the Apple store and buy them myself. There were lots of sales associates working. I was in and out in about 10 minutes! We brought my girl; she got lots of attention!

 

[Lilianna23]

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

Buckets coming your way!

 

[Lilianna23]

Buttfruit!

If you’ve ever had chickens and collect your own eggs, you know!

This girl I watch on YT calls them liquid chicken!

 

[Lilianna23]

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!

My husband was the same way. If I didn't leave enough batter on the paddle, he got pouty. I think uncooked batter is disgusting and won't eat it but I always left enough for him.

 

[Lilianna23]

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

Nice pivot!

 

[Lilianna23]

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.)

I finally got my new cabinets installed on Saturday. The guy is not a great businessman but, damn! He's a fine craftsman! My cabinets are gorgeous, solid oak, including the drawers and shelves, and stained to match my existing 30 year old oak cabinets. I am beyond pleased!

All to the left of the granite, upper and lower, are new.

 

[Lilianna23]

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

LMAO!!!

 

[Lilianna23]

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

I need the recipe, please! I also do not like the overly sweet frosting of carrot cake. It ruins the healthfulness of the cake!

 

[Lilianna23]

Bad news housekeeping didnt show up at moms house.... because of roads.... mmmhmmm
Is my friend michael so i dont say much.
More bad news i have to go....
Shovel and salt walk.... take treats to dialysis nurses and clean

I'm sorry you had to do it. My housekeeper didn't come today because of the flooding.

Meeting scorecard.

8-9 finished in 36 mins. Win
9-930 needed in 22 mins Win
930-10 needed 15 mins Win
10-11 needed all time but was a productive meeting. Moral win?
11-12 went 13 mins over and I was not even needed on the fucking meeting Loss

My 3-345 meeting was moved to January. Win.

This leaves me with a couple of additional and hopefully short meetings.

So 4-1-1 for the day so far.

I call that day a win overall!

 

[Lilianna23]

OK so this just happened…

Writing out the Christmas cards and putting people (mostly family) on the naughty and nice list (who gets a card this year or not) and we get a call from the DiL…wants to know if we’re cooking the Roast Beast for Christmas supper.

It seems his Highness (our oldest) wants his mother to make a Roast with figs and cloves, and pears and very Christamssy dish. SWMBO is waffling and trying to hit the easy button when I pipe up and say, why don’t we spilt the baby and all do different things for this? Both gals are sorta kinda trying to get outta of this when I add…”Momma used to do it ALL…”

Nothing like shaming your spouse by comparing her to your mother…

Well, the roast is going to be cooked. Stay tuned for other marriage tips for the holidays. .
