The weather here is soul-crushing. I quote Forrest Gump: "One day it started to rain. It didn't stop for four months." It's May 14, it's 38 degrees out, I'm wearing tights and an undershirt under my professional dress, and the heat is still on at my house. ON MAY 14TH. Everyone is pissy and over it.
8:14 am

I'm so sorry. But it can't last much longer.

We've never had the heat on in mid May before this
8:16 am
Trifioso
Absolutely NEVER bichon. I usually shut it off April 1st. Seriously. I am sure my oil company is delighted, but I am not. We can't even just "oh well wear a sweater" and power through. 38 degrees is untenable.
8:19 am

anyway, sorry to be a wet blanket. I love babble, and will be pleasant and cheery for the rest of the day I promise

secondo stayed in a gorgeous house last summer in New Rochelle, NY. The owners have lived there for decades, and, loving the old-time look of the place, never fixed it up much. At the advice of a friend, they listed it as an available property for film shoots - within a MONTH they were booked out - at the tidy sum of $1000 a DAY!

I am such a massive word ne4, it's not even funny. I love reading the etiology of foreign words....there are some truly fantastic german words that I would love to come into use here. Schaudenfraude is fabulous, and another german word for when you eat when you are sad. The literal translation is "grief bacon" - LOVE THAT

funny, I had a student like that once - she was an american child whose parents sent her to a local french school, as they thought it was "really cool" - which it was, but they should have researched it farther. They assumed it was half french, half english. Nope. All French, all the time. By 8th grade they realized their daughter could SPEAK English perfectly, as that is what they did at home, but she could not READ English. Not one word

indeed! Scots never had the vowel shift, so English diverged, if still retaining a high mutual intelligibility

my name is Irish: Séain, pronounced as 'shane'.

Séain means 'Sean's".

I just looked up Limoncello Cake from Olga's Flavour Factory.....Ohhhhh, but it sounds delicious. Does your recipe have a cream cheese frosting? I have some lemon lovers in my family!
2:10 pm
cybernan
no - a limoncello glaze. I just use the Baccardi Rum Cake recipe you can find on line and substitude limoncello for the rum. Then I slice the cake in half and fill it with lemon curd and top it with whipped cream and a slice of mango when serving.
2:12 pm
cybernan
*also substitute lemon pudding for the vanilla
2:15 pm
dianedecoder
Okay, this recipe went one step further....after the glaze, it is frosted with a cream cheese frosting. THIS is going to be my next special birthday cake for someone. I love to bake and I do make the Bacarcdi rum cake quite often. And speaking of baking, I have bread about to come out of the oven. Enjoy your evening !
