Take care all!

Goodnight, Grey

Come back when you can stay awhile . . . .

Lurves ya, Kiddo.

Not sure that suchathang even exists. One is over in minutes and the other sounds like setting oneself up for a long-term assfucking.

I said something similar. Just not as eloquently.

 

[Lilianna23]

I thought I was up early, not even. Good morning denizens of the spoon.

When someone says something stupid like I can do your taxes, on this thread, out come the knives!. I think the ladies scarred the scammer away. BTW I am really tired of scammers!

Good to see Lilli out and celebrating with her off line friends. I need both, on line and off line friends.

Watching the women’s downhill on USA Today. Skiing at over 70 mph! . I see the weather is affecting results too. The clouds moved in. It changes the snow conditions. They have to know the effect on their skis.

I am so fortunate to have good friends! Both on and off line!

 

[Lilianna23]

I like to keep the feet barefoot and pedicured, when possible. Lol

Pedicured feet is a requirement here!

 

[Lilianna23]

Red is very classic but I am flexible

Mine is cobalt with silver glitter.

 

[Lilianna23]

She did Tia w vid of me “curling”

Needs posting!

 

[AlexAtNight]

Mine is cobalt with silver glitter.

Sparkles! I am like one of those birds with shinies

 

[Lilianna23]

Congrats to you, lady!!!

The Hawks had a great season this year! My husband was such a great fan! He would have been whooping it up!

 

[Greylag]

Mine is cobalt with silver glitter.

It would be!

 

[Lilianna23]

That’s a bummer… maybe you can find her and see if she will do personal lessons.

My trainer will train me privately. I still have to burn off the 115 sessions I have booked at the gym, tho.

How much arm twisting was there really?? Sounds like a great time!

Well, they FORCED me to put on makeup and something pretty!

Fun x2!! Sounds like an amazing time and good place!

No bar x3?

No, thank goodness! I'm too old to party like that!

Good call though. It would’ve been a fucking shit show at halftime or at the end of the game. Sorry that you couldn’t watch the game.

It was pretty wild. My girl was plastered to me.

Wow wow wow!

Great consultation by Greylag and real Baker to make it reality! All those dishes look amazing +1!

Thank you! I had never even heard of Bakewell tart. It was SO yummy! Shall I make you one?

 

[Lilianna23]

Have fun getting trained!

Or training your trainer…

It was a little of both! Today's trainer was a guy. I liked him! He didn't treat me like something fragile and breakable but was still respectful of my abilities.

We did legs today. It was a great workout. I think I can work with him!

 

[Lilianna23]

I used to take safety pretty lightly. But now the older I am the more it matters.

dammit. I really thought I was invincible…

Didn't we all when we were youngsters?

 

[Lilianna23]

In a meeting and cant get an edge in so i am no longer engaged

That sucks!

 

[AlexAtNight]

Well, peeps... I am gonna sack out

 

[Lilianna23]

Kit-kat bar?

You KNOW we all started singing the song in our heads, right?

Oh, not everyone? Just me?

Well, then, here you go! Yer welcome!

Best curlers in the world from around here

Where shall we start on this marathon post …. Dancing your ass of at your age … well I guess it beats festering at home.

At MY age????? Hmf!

*giving you "the look!"*

But let’s cover the important stuff … Baking! Delighted to have been your English Consultant (Note Spoonies I do not identify as British as it includes Jocks, Taffs and Paddies!)

Let’s start with the positive stuff … Lili you make a good tart. You even remembered I love my tart drizzled in cream! Out of the oven it looks superb!

Thank you, G! Yes, I am a good t..., er, I mean..., I did make a good tart for my first time! Thank you for your guidance on that. It seemed hard, but I think it was just the recipe I picked. Next time, it should be easier to make.

Now constructive criticism:

The Bakewell Tart has way too much powdered sugar on top . I said a light dusting not a bloody avalanche!

What??? I like powdered sugar!

Cherry Jam is the traditional recipe so don’t give me that “I don’t. Like seeds” bit

I did research the Bakewell Tart and now know cherry was original. I'm going to just use cherry jam from now on!

Empire biscuits …. Look good if you know chuff all about such things. I told you to put a roundel of icing (frosting) in the centre of about 3/4” dia with a small piece of candy peel in the centre. They just look like Jammy Dodgers without

I don't know what Jammy Dodgers are but, you are right. I was already wielding the sifter full of powdered sugar and just went to the cookies. I will make them with the frosting next time!

All in all considering the effort it’s an A- given you must have been tired after dancing your ass off. But next time if you employ me as consultant please take just an itty bitty bit of notice of my words.

Thank you, G! I'll try to pay more attention next time! Thanks for your help on this. It was a worthy endeavor!

And for Spoonies who would like the recipes Lili had done the U.K./US conversions and I am sure will be happy to oblige.

I do have a recipe if anyone is interested.

Back to back meet8ngs all morning. Has been hell

I hated those days! Most of the meetings could have been accomplished with an email...

 

[Lilianna23]

I am burnt to a crisp regarding this job....

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Maybe Mr. Wat is there rock?

I had a friend once refer to me as her Stability Rock. I wager that is because I'm consistent. I tooken it as a nice compliment.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I'll collect in due course!

You shall be "paid" in full, with interest.
