3:52 am

oh nice, lady! You sure know how to comfort yourself. A good movie, coffee, tv snacks and babble. And us. Can't get much better.

we have to be careful too. Always on the lookout for the discounts. Good thing the various supermarket chains always have a price war going on.
4:04 am

Same here, Sprite. I never pay full price for things.i love looking around and getting the best price I can.

it is my turn to cook today... pfff what to make...
4:11 am
zoozzoom
Could do a bolognese?
4:12 am
sprite
hm, good idea. Simple and tasty. Thanks zooz.
4:12 am
zoozzoom
Don,t forget the garlic bread :-)
4:13 am
sprite
hehehe indeed! Hm let's see if I can make that myself.
4:13 am
herinfernallady
The only thing we don't do on Good Friday is red meat. Not the no meat all together. Salmon is a little of our expense list
4:14 am
zoozzoom
It is very rare I eat red meat. I tend to go for white meat these days.
4:16 am
herinfernallady
Himself shouldn't eat too much red meat so we don't
4:17 am
sprite
ah, lots of recipes for garlic bread
4:20 am
sprite
I can make it from scratch or start with a baguette.
4:21 am
zoozzoom
Yeah there are many ways i suppose to do garlic bread. I think the best way is just to melt butter add very fine chopped garlic into butter.leave for a few hours to infuse..then use small butter brush to spread onto sliced bread rolls baguette and then grill til slightly golden.
4:21 am
herinfernallady
I find that I use a mix of soft butter and a teaspoon of garlic mushed together with a fork. Slab on bread, wrap in foil and cook in oven for about 10 mn
4:21 am
zoozzoom
Another great way to do it, Herin :-)
4:22 am
herinfernallady
I know that one teaspoon of crushed garlic is a clove
4:23 am
zoozzoom
Does make your breath a bit smelly but the flavour is wonderful and it goes so well with the bolognese!
4:23 am
sprite
I think I will take this one: to make cuts into a baguette, not all the way through. Finechop garlic and some parsley, a bit of citrus peel and salt and pepper, mix, put in the cuts. A bit of butter on top in each cut. Wrap in foil, in the oven for 10 mins, remove foil, oven for another 5-10 mins until golden.
4:24 am
herinfernallady
That is why eating garlic is a household affair then everyone is stinky
4:24 am
herinfernallady
That sounds good sprite.
4:24 am
sprite
I don't mind the smell of garlic.
4:24 am
zoozzoom
Although for me if I am having a bolognese i must have parmesan cheese freshly grated on top.
4:24 am
sprite
me tooo me toooo!
4:25 am
zoozzoom
That sounds perfect, Sprite.Sounds like you are going to have a wonderful meal tonight!
4:25 am
sprite
well not freshly grated, tbh, that is way too expensive. But a sack of pregrated parmesan, yeah.
4:26 am
zoozzoom
No for me it has to be freshy grated.the packet stuff you buy here in the UK smells like sick..Sorry to be so graphic but it really does.
4:26 am
herinfernallady
I eat too much Parmesan to get the wedges.
4:26 am
sprite
ah awful. No, what we have here is nice enough.
4:26 am
herinfernallady
Zoom do you mean the dehydrated stuff?
4:27 am
zoozzoom
Yeah the dehydrated crap, Herin..lol
4:27 am
sprite
that is what we use here, the powder form
4:27 am
zoozzoom
Eww no sprite :-(
4:28 am
herinfernallady
We buy the fresh stuff grated. From aldi really cheap
4:28 am
sprite
so sorry, zooz, yes. The other kind is wayyyy expensive, you can only get it at special cheese stores where you buy a wedge and ask them to grate it for you.
4:28 am
zoozzoom
The one here in the packet is so fine like powder and really stinks so bad..nothing like the fresh at all.
4:29 am
zoozzoom
The one you get, Sprite, Might be different from the one here.
4:29 am
sprite
yeah, ours definitely does not stink like sick, lol. It smells gooood.
4:29 am
herinfernallady
Sprite what about the cheese section at the supermarket
4:30 am
sprite
only the powder form, lady
4:30 am
herinfernallady
So none of the finely grated stuff in a packet?? I don't know if I could live without it
4:31 am
sprite
we have that, but not in parmesan, lady. Just in the dutch cheeses and swiss cheese.
4:31 am
herinfernallady
Sprite also how old are the kids now?
4:31 am

good job, zooz. I am having my standard breakfast, spread over the morning. A cup of wiener coffee and two apples.
4:48 am
zoozzoom
Bye, Ruru :-)
4:48 am

gee thanx zooz, love fruit teacake. * scoff, scoff * yum!!
4:48 am

*hands zooz a piece of apple and grabs some cakes* See, I share!
4:49 am

4:49 am

Two apples! You will be glad of your bolognese tonight then!
4:49 am
rururocks
Wiener coffee?
4:50 am
zoozzoom
Trust Ruru to notice that...lol
4:50 am
sprite
lolllll I knew that would bring ru back out of hiding. Yep. Wiener melange coffee. No grounded dicks or anything. Just coffee in vienna style.
4:50 am
zoozzoom
Hey I thought you were going to sleep!
4:50 am
grannyrose
whoot. wtg sprite. * grabs my share of cake*
4:50 am

Oh good grief, Sprite...LOL

4:51 am

I guess wiener coffee will prick up one's ears
4:51 am
zoozzoom
Would not want you any other way, Spritey :-)
4:51 am

yeah, subtle as a lead balloon.

Does wiener coffee come with erections...errr i mean directions
4:53 am
grannyrose
you need strong biceps to chuck a lead balloon.
4:53 am
sprite
but I prefer my wiener over a C-cup of tea
4:54 am
sprite
*giggles* no need for directions, ru, pretty much self-explanatory in going all the way up. Um down.
4:54 am
grannyrose
oh, gosh, sprite * collapsing in a heap of giggles*
4:54 am
zoozzoom
I could easily come back with some puns..but alas they are too rude for babble chat..lol
4:54 am
rururocks
Wiener coffee would be popular in sf
4:55 am
sprite
hehehe therein lies the art, zooz... to keep from being too rude and still walk the edge.
4:55 am
sprite
how is that, ru?
4:56 am
zoozzoom
not mastered that yet, Sprite..still learning from Ruru..lol
4:56 am
rururocks
Um...a lot of gay men in sf sprite
4:56 am
sprite
lol we all do, zooz. Ru is the king of puns.
4:57 am
sprite
ah, that is the old style sf. Sf and fantasy nowadays are much more liberated and cater to all sexual inclinations. Or almost all.
4:57 am
zoozzoom
Thought we were talking about coffee..lol
4:58 am
sprite
ok, just a little crossy-like tidbit: a cup of coffee in dutch is colloquially knows as 'een bakkie troost' which translates as 'a nice cup of comfort'.
4:59 am

I like that, Sprite :-0

Old Quebec City is well worth the visit
5:37 am
sukee
Yes, and Montreal of course.
5:38 am
Trifioso
you've made a life-long fan of my girl. she can't wait to go back, and I think the chance to "road test" her burgeoning french gave her a lot of confidence
5:39 am
zoozzoom
The only french i can do is what gogle translates for me.How sad is that!
5:39 am
Trifioso
of course the real excitement of the trip came when several of the students decided to sneak out of the hotel (NOT mine...) and got caught by the teachers and chaperones - who were at a local bar getting HAMMERED
5:39 am
sukee
The only French I know is what I see on packaging :)
5:39 am

Good morning, kids. Funny stroies, Trif and Crossy.

French was forced upon us back when I was in high school. Sadly, the effect of that is to make most of us run away from it as fast as possible after our two terms of it was finished:(

Oh heavens no. Daughter of Trif would never sneak out of a hotel, she is as well behaved and mild mannered as her sainted mother. : D
5:45 am

The only reason us fellas even showed up for those class was because without fail every single french teacher was achingly beautiful, and we would put up with any form of torture to stare at her for 45 minutes each day;)
5:46 am
zoozzoom
Nice one, Scrabs!
5:46 am
Trifioso
actually, molly, she DID sneak out - got as far as the sidewalk in front of the hotel, thought "this is stupid" and turned around and went back in.
5:46 am

It is easier to learn to conjugate verbs under those conditions, right, Crossy?
5:46 am

6:15 am
Scrabbler
Yesterday morning as I left for work I saw my neightbor's pickup truck crashed into a tree in another neighbor's front yard. The air bag was deployed. Driver was already gone. I suspect the driver slid around the curve, went into the yard and crashed, then walked home. But when and why?
6:16 am
lbdawger
it snowed here yesterday...just those few weak flakes that almost melt as you see them fall.
6:16 am
Scrabbler
I called the police. I wonder if alcohol was involved thus he walked home and left the wreck.
6:16 am
lbdawger
Oh dear, hope he wasn't hurt too badly. airbags can cause some severe owies!
6:18 am

9:36 am
72 Temple Owl
nice to see you.
9:38 am

yes - a plastic water bottle, fan - it'll contract when the plane is starting to descend and the pressure changes in the cabin
9:39 am
MLFAN17
that would not be good
9:41 am
harpjane
speaking of air pressure in planes, i wish the planes would gradually reduce the air pressure when they are flying into a high altitude city, like colorado springs, or la paz. Give you a little less shock when you're on the ground....
9:41 am

ON a 12 hour flight to Nepal they could take you through one cycle of "climb high, sleep low"

definitely an issue for those with heart issues.
several years ago, my family attended a wedding in Vale, and my dad underestimated how the altitude would affect him, having had a few heart attacks.

Wow--a real family affair! Hi, Elegant, dear. You certainly have a husband who adores you! I'm, unfortunately, not doing too well. My legs haven't been working properly and it takes all my strength and determination to get up from a sitting position. They're thinking I might have MS.

Aww, I'm so sorry to hear that Mimi, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hiya, ML. Nah. Min

Mine is new since Christmas. I'll hang on to it.
12:45 pm
MimiCat
In the meantime, I can only stand for short periods of time before feeling my legs start to weaken. Luckily, I can walk mostly OK. Living alone, it can be scary. I carry my phone with me everywhere I go in the apt. just in case.
12:46 pm

my husband claims he read online how ot make it not show us pop ups and update stuff which is fine but its not something you can ignore forever
12:47 pm
Judi
Prayers of strength and courage coming your way, Mimi. Do you have a cane or walker to lean on, just for safety sake?
12:48 pm
jaxx7
My friend Jane who has MS uses a walker. She is very tottery and says she feels safer with a walker.
12:48 pm
MimiCat
No, I haven't really needed that since walking is much less a problem that getting up from sitting. I can tell you that I have to put so much energy into my thighs to get up they'll look like body builder thighs before too long!!
12:48 pm
MimiCat
Thanks, Judi.
12:49 pm
jaxx7
That should make walking easier, mimi. lol
12:49 pm
MimiCat
I'm one tough old broad and I just keep moving through it as I think that lying down and giving in just makes it worse and isn't my style.
12:50 pm
Judi
Well, even if you don't have MS, you sure have moxie!
12:50 pm
jaxx7
If you take to your bed, mimi, it will make your muscles weaken and then it will make it harder to walk.

My daughter has green eyes with a gray circle around the outside of the iris...very unusual and beautiful. She gets that from my grandmother, I think, who had green eyes as did my biological father.

Lucille Ball had red hair and blue eyes. They called her "Technicolor Tessie".
12:57 pm

It would clash with my pink hair crossy!
12:57 pm

I have some freckles, too, but not as many as when I was young.
12:58 pm

I believe the correct phrase for those with red hair is "ginger people".
12:58 pm
hego
I have green eyes and freckles, but my hair was dark.
12:58 pm
MimiCat
People have told me it would be easier to color my hair blond since it would last longer and not show the roots so soon but then I wouldn't be able to tell my blond jokes (and I have LOTS of them). Plus...I just don't have a blond personality (no insult to blonds).
12:59 pm
Judi
Or, as some in the south say, "punkinheads".

MimiCat
I always say life is about balance and the nicer you are on one side, the fiercer you can be on the other. That's me...don't go to the dark side with me 'cause I will take you down! But mostly I'm really very nice.
1:02 pm
Judi
I have to agree, Hego. :-)). My natural color is dark brown, which really washes out my fair skinned face. Hence blondification.
1:02 pm
MimiCat
No, Judi...when we turn gray we seem to almost disappear, especially to young people. They just look right past you as if you don't exist. They do that to me until I open my mouth!
1:02 pm

I'm a bit concerned about something. For the second time in as many weeks I did something I've NEVER done before -- left the kitchen with food cooking on the stove, then COMPLETELY forgot until I had burned the pan black (my smell seems to be on the fritz, so I didn't smell anything burning until I walked back into the kitchen.) I'm going to be 60 this year.... is this just normal?

It's just never happened to me before.
2:04 pm

... i believe that it's being able to sense odours (that aren't there) that's a sign of perhaps being something ... ... not smelling something is just a sign that like me you've always eaten your food too quickly and have a lessened sense of taste and smell

Not a good idea to leave cooking food unattended.

Of the 365/366 days in the year, there are only 2 days when pubs do not open. Christmas Day, and Good Friday. You would think that Prohibition had been introduced round here. Both returned Soodle-kids have gone to house parties, where they will gleefully defy the law. Sigh.
4:56 pm
MollyL
Hey, I think Good Friday is a fine day to hoist a few.
4:58 pm
Soodle
LOL! Its a sign of your standing in the community if you get invited to a pub for an illegal drink on Good Friday. I was lucky enough to receive such an invitation. It would have been rude to decline. I went, but only drank a soda, becaues I had the car. But It felt good to be there. :-)
5:01 pm

Tsk, tsk. One drink will not impair your ability to drive.

for su4... We are having springlike weather here -- alternating rain and sun -- enough sun to want to garden, enough rain to mean it's not really a good idea... LOL So I am resting up this afternoon instead of racing outside to plant and weed.

The yard is getting to be so lovely again. By next year it should look like we were never away. Have to put the bulbs in metal cages though -- something ate a bunch of them completely out of the ground.
