My Russian grandparents used to make a drink called "Popovka" - raspberries in vodka in champagne bottles, corked and buried in sand. When first bottle burst, rest ready to drink!

that sounds good scouser
1:50 am
scouser
yes - not for apartment dwellers
1:50 am
jillibus
but I'm not fond of sweet booze

anyway, I don't think I'll risk trying to make Popovka!

((((ruby))))) have been home 30mins. bitch of a day. they just will not staff the recovery room properly. at on stage i was alone, with 3 patients, one unconscious.
3:38 am
rubyfoo
{{rose}} your job sounds VERY difficult!
3:38 am
grannyrose
lol, my friend, perhaps that's why i do it? i love the challenge....but NOT at my patients safety.
3:39 am
rubyfoo
is there someone in the hospital you can call if more than one patient starts to crash at the same time?
3:41 am
grannyrose
actually have done that before.....only the once, don't want to repeat that experience, i can tell you. yes, the ER team are very good at responding....but we sholdn't be in that situation to begin with.
3:46 am
rubyfoo
half and nbs but not nbt
3:46 am
rubyfoo
and my "free" time is running out. Have made rhubarb strawberry compote and pickled beets this AM after totally slacking off yesterday
3:50 am
grannyrose
that's not much good to me!!!! can you send me some through cyber space....please?
3:51 am
rubyfoo
I am feeling my way with the rhubarb; I know it's good for me, but it's always pretty slimy
3:51 am
grannyrose
ruby, try stewing it with apple instead of strawberries.
3:53 am
rubyfoo
aaah, does that get rid of the slime factor? Happily, wonderful strawberries are in season now
3:55 am
grannyrose
i think it does, never tastes slimy with apples. but you do need to add sweetener, of one kind or another
3:55 am
rubyfoo
I tried adding jam sugar to this pot, hopsing it would thicken up a little
3:56 am
rubyfoo
do you have the bottom f for nbt?
3:56 am
rubyfoo
nm, monkeyed it
3:56 am
grannyrose
ruby, i find with rhubarb and apple, you don't need a lot of water. and you could try honey, instead of sugar
3:57 am
grannyrose
yes, my dear, it's an fy4
3:57 am
rubyfoo
I don't add any water
3:57 am
rubyfoo
this is pretty simple and I add heavy cream and force myself to swallow it
3:58 am
grannyrose
ruby, try making a custard instead, then have rhubarb and apple and custard
3:58 am
rubyfoo
58 words and Mr.'s Campari time
3:58 am
rubyfoo
<-- has never made a custard although I love them
3:59 am
rubyfoo
in the old days, when I was still an ambitious cook, I used to make creme anglaise for my fruit tarts
3:59 am
rubyfoo
I guess it's like a thin custard
4:00 am
rubyfoo
and since husband and I don't eat the same food, it's no challenge any more
4:00 am
grannyrose
ooooh, will have to look up recipe for you...we are fortunate and have packs of ' instant' custard powder over here, just add milk.
4:00 am
rubyfoo
must go now, dear rose. See you soon.

That's a good rule of thumb, Crossy. April and May (so far) has been cooler than it was in March. Backwards weather in the northern hemisphere.

on a side note crossy is all excited.we have a reuse centre here when people donate unwanted items and they staff it with students,or people with mild develpomental delays so they can get work/life experience,it is all good.well anyways when they get stuff in,they often cull the reall good stuff for a on site silent action and crossy has put a bit in on an amazing matched pair of oil lamps for the 1880,s and a beautiful 1940s grundig am/fm/sw/sw/sw tube radio with those amazing bakelite channel keys they used to use;))

just saw ruby's question about the full moon and the tides - the tides were slightly higher due to the full moon being at perigee but no flooding. Note that this happens quite frequently (every dozen years or so), and the full moon is close to perigee every year.
9:16 am

hiya stid! hiya sprite! hows everyone tonight??
7:43 pm
stidmama
oh, I don't like when that happens to me. I have earbuds for my ipad, and listen to old radio shows when that happens.
7:44 pm
sprite
am good, and you?
7:44 pm
sprite
well I always think, at least I did get some sleep this night. It is better than not being able to sleep at all ;)
7:44 pm
TheLegend
purty good...not as regular with this here babble as i used to be though...got busy with work and stuff...i had to be a responsible adult..:)
7:44 pm
stidmama
making it through, Legend -- happy that I was allowed to sleep in a little today.
7:45 pm
stidmama
ack *shudder* responsible. gack.
7:45 pm

TheLegend
swhats been keeping you awake, stid?
7:50 pm
stidmama
cute, sprite!
7:50 pm
stidmama
oh, the usual Legend: worries about kids, paying bills, whether the teacher I will be substituting for has left plans and materials where I can find them...
7:51 pm
sprite
sounds like you need to take up some form of meditation, stiddie. Getting you into the now. Cause worrying is living in the past or future.
7:53 pm
stidmama
It's not the getting to sleep that is hard, it's the nightmares! it's usually okay, just that life can be unsettled, and I don't like uncertainty. The radio shows are a kind of meditation actually, I let myself drift into the story and it calms down the over-thinking part of my brain.
7:54 pm
stidmama
What I really want to do is work in the garden more often, but as you know I need to have Tom or Grant around when I do just in case I can't get back up, so that limits my time out there for now.
7:54 pm
sprite
very good, that should do the trick. And god, I know nightmares. *hugs* Some things are hard to get a handle on.
7:55 pm
sprite
stiddie, how about having your guys make some tables or other stuff on which you can put big tubs? You could do gardening while sitting on a good chair. That is how I try to do it atm.
7:56 pm
sprite
we have tubs places on patio tiles. Works great too, and is not expensive.
7:58 pm
stidmama
GMTA, sprite -- I have several containers, and a little garden seat that mother got me that used one way is a chair and the other way I can kneel and then get up using the long "feet" as handles.
7:59 pm
sprite
brilliant! Gardening is so good for us. Great to find ways we can still do it :)
7:59 pm
stidmama
There are some pics of the garden up at my website, hold on and I will grab a couple of the post URLs I am finally getting a few of the things back in order after all these years.

absolutely brilliant.
8:11 pm
stidmama
He's a good kid. When my goofy eyes couldn't spot the eagles against the clouds, he took over for me.
8:12 pm

8:17 pm
sprite
yes they are :) Love them to pieces. Tim will be 16 this month. Caya is 14. Puberty rules here atm but most of it is fun. Great to see them growing into their own persons.
8:18 pm
stidmama
ah, full-on adolescence... *sending buckets of patience and humor across the miles* they are truly amazing at that age -- LOVE working with teens! But parenting them... not always so much fun.
8:20 pm
sprite
not always. But most of the time, it is nice. And watching them always makes me realise how happy I am to not be a teenager anymore. It is a crazy stage of life!
8:20 pm
stidmama
too true! wouldn't go back to those years for ANYTHING.
8:20 pm
stidmama

Hi Stid
10:33 pm
stidmama
501 c 3 of course?
10:34 pm
jmcnrick
no a c 4 . . . i may create a c 3 for research but the main need is for lobbying grassroots and regular for a constitutional amendment
10:35 pm
jmcnrick
so i created the c 4 first
10:36 pm
jmcnrick
(c3 is charitable and donations are deductible from your taxes and c4 is an advocacy group and the donations are not deductible)
10:36 pm
stidmama
I think maybe we can add you to our donations stream. I will ask Tom.
10:36 pm
jmcnrick
i am counting on the fact that so many people are so passionate about this that the donation is not the driving factor
10:36 pm
jmcnrick
give me a week to get the online donation set up stiddie
10:36 pm
stidmama

herinfernallady
I did have a baby hamburger the other day from a local burger joint it was worth spending my emergancy $20
10:52 pm
stidmama
healthy eating - slow eating, eating what's in season... it really helps with overall health, doesn't it?
10:52 pm
jmcnrick
sometimes a girl just has to have a hamburger! haha
10:53 pm
herinfernallady
Well I tell you what i am so please with myself that instead of say eating the medium bbq chicken pizza and cheese pizza with more cheese I have now swapped to half a healthy choice pizza with no cheese other than a spinach and ricotta base and buffalo Mozzarella to hold it together
10:54 pm
herinfernallady
JM this local joint was amazing.
10:55 pm
stidmama
lady, that's a great strategy
10:57 pm
herinfernallady
Stid I think also the attitude of do I want it rather than being lazy and just getting what ever it is.
10:58 pm
stidmama
yes -- really wanting something as opposed to just grabbing "whatever"
10:59 pm
jmcnrick
