[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [6:57:43 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi KK!

[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [6:58:27 PM EST] <bynw> are you all moved KK?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:00:17 PM EST] <KK> Not at all, Bynw, though a few pieces of furniture have gone over--my desks and most of office furniture--and the couch and easy chair for the Great Room. And Cameron has been installing internet and security stuff for the past few days. Cameras have started going up.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:00:39 PM EST] <bynw> its good to have those

[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:01:09 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi DR and Bethane and everyone else
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:01:18 PM EST] <KK> And I turned Anna loose in the media room to browse for books, and she assembled a huge pile--which means they'll go to someone who'll appreciate them.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:01:28 PM EST] <The_Bee> How was everyone's christmas?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:01:29 PM EST] <KK> Hi, Bee.

[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:02:19 PM EST] <KK> It was quiet but nice here. Cameron and Anna got me an i-pad, which we'll pick up on Tuesday in Richmond.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:02:47 PM EST] <KK> We also had a splendid beef stroganoff dinner. :-)
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:02:59 PM EST] <The_Bee> We had aour family zoom chat on Saturday.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:03:05 PM EST] <bynw> i had a christmas with the inlaws last week when i was chatting from the road, but we haven't had our family christmas yet. the oldest kiddo (33) came down with the flu
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:03:39 PM EST] <KK> Not Covid, I hope!
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:03:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Poor thing... flu sucks, even if it isn't Covidy.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:04:27 PM EST] <bynw> hard to say sometimes the symptoms are similar ... i'm sure his work will have him get tested to be sure
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:04:29 PM EST] <DesertRose> Christmas was quiet here.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:04:32 PM EST] <KK> Yeah. I hope all of you have gotten your flu shots.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:04:33 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Oh, no @bynw
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:04:38 PM EST] <DesertRose> Got mine back in September.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:04:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Got my flu shot.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:04:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> got mine
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:05:14 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Got mine in Oct.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:05:20 PM EST] <KK> Sounds like we're good, then.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:05:44 PM EST] <bynw> so we wont be doing christmas for a couple of weeks
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:05:52 PM EST] <The_Bee> You got yours, I assume, KK.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:06:08 PM EST] <KK> Oh, yes.

[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:09:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> waves
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:09:05 PM EST] <KK> Yes and yes.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:09:11 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi KK and all others
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:09:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> No leftovers, but plenty of Christmas treats
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:09:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Same here. Although I made a Duck, potato and onion and pea hash for dinner last night.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:09:41 PM EST] <derynifank> Lots of Christmas cookies and fudge, yum
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:09:48 PM EST] <Laurna> I made fudge for everyone but I gave it all away. Now I wish I still had some
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:09:55 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've pigged oout on sweets--ice cream, candy.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:10:17 PM EST] <Laurna> How did the Duck come out, Shiral
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:10:19 PM EST] <derynifank> We're proabably all still on a sugar high
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:10:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I didn't make any candy this year; first time in 5-10 years
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:10:20 PM EST] <KK> Duck, Shiral? Yum!
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:10:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Left over Panettone and cake. I finished the last of the gingerbread by giving some of it to Mom
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:10:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Yup, I had Duck breast for Christmas dinnner
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:10:56 PM EST] <The_Bee> I hope the duck wasn't named Donald.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:11:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> No no! But he doesn't need to know. =o)
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:11:13 PM EST] <Laurna> LOL Bee you encouragable
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:11:15 PM EST] <derynifank> or Daisy
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:11:19 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> My neighbor sent food over. She was worried about me being alone on Christmas.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:11:32 PM EST] <KK> We had bread pudding with pears on top, for our dessert. Yum!
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:11:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Good for your neighbor. 🙂
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:11:38 PM EST] <The_Bee> or Daffy1 X-P
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:11:39 PM EST] <Laurna> Yumm
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:11:55 PM EST] <KK> Excellent neighbor, WindyCat.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:11:59 PM EST] <bynw> that's nice of your neighbor WindCat.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:12:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I have frozen the leftover chocolate cheesecake. It's safer that way.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:12:16 PM EST] <Laurna> I had mom over for Christmas breakfast and then I made a ham for myself for dinner.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:12:29 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> She's a great cook, we trade recipes all the time.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:12:39 PM EST] <Laurna> That would not last in my house not even in the freezer
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:12:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> frozen leftover chocolate cheesecake... drewls
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:13:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I made my Sachertorte which was going beautifully until I had a disaster with the chocolate glaze seizing up
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:13:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Wow, you have a great neighbor, Windycat
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:13:25 PM EST] <The_Bee> did your mom taste good, Laurna?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:13:33 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> That wouldn't last long enough to see the freezer. 😉
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:13:34 PM EST] <derynifank> I love bred pudding. Always have to try it if it's on the menu
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:13:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> seized chocolate is the worst!
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:13:37 PM EST] <Laurna> Oh Dear Bee LOL
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:14:02 PM EST] <derynifank> Seized? by whom from whim?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:14:09 PM EST] <The_Bee> Seized?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:14:10 PM EST] <Laurna> No I did not eat her, and at least she did not eat me.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:14:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> The cookbook said "It should be glossy and pourable. But what I had in my bowl was chalky, clumpy moon dust that had been chopped bittersweet chocolate minutes before.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:14:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi derynifank, Jerusha, and Shiral.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:14:52 PM EST] <KK> Oh, dear!
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:14:53 PM EST] <Laurna> moon dust?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:15:00 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi DR
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:15:04 PM EST] <KK> But I'll bet it still tasted good....
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:15:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> melting chocolate seizes up if it gets any water in it. Goes from lovely to bleah in a heartbeat.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:15:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I started over. The Torte ended up covered in SOME form of chocolate goop. But I was so demoralized, I had to go take a nap. SO I ended up eating dinner at about 8:30 at night. I'm also not very experienced at cooking duck
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:15:46 PM EST] <Laurna> I didn't know that.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:15:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Very rich chocolate cheesecake, with a bit of amaretto thrown in
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:15:59 PM EST] <The_Bee> Chocolate having seizures? That's a new one for me.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:16:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I only know about this becuse of one of my baking projects last year
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:16:33 PM EST] <derynifank> what kind of seizure does it have
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:16:38 PM EST] <bynw> yeah i know that from watching the food network
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:16:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> It looks the way Shiral described it, above
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:17:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> chalky clumpy moondust
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:17:07 PM EST] <DesertRose> I know from my experience of making peppermint patties. Fortunately, I know because the recipe warned me, not from the experience of the chocolate seizing.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:17:11 PM EST] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:17:21 PM EST] <The_Bee> The first time I cooked duck, I used time-bake. the oven turned off before it turned on.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:17:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It's as Bethane said. The recipe calls for boiling water and sugar together for about five minutes, then says, unhelpfully "Add chocolate" but without specifiying you you should add it gradually while stirring like mad the whole time. I added ALL the chocolate at once and....it wasn't pretty.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:17:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I made the mistake of trying to melt my chocolate with margarine instead of butter.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:17:48 PM EST] <KK> Oh, to both of you.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:17:53 PM EST] <bynw> margarine is plastic
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:18:02 PM EST] <bynw> never use it for anything
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:18:10 PM EST] <bynw> real butter is the only way to go
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:18:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Margarine is disgusting.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:18:16 PM EST] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:18:28 PM EST] <DesertRose> I am definitely Team Real Butter (or Real Butter with olive oil added so it's easy to spread).
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:18:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I only had it because I h ad a different recipe that specifically called for margarine. That was the first time I'd had it in the h ouse in several years
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:18:32 PM EST] <derynifank> my cook friend, who went to the CIA, says margarine is NOT food
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:18:56 PM EST] <Laurna> The fudge I made was milk and sugar cooked for 6minutes then add chocolate powder and confectioners sugar. First time I made fudge that way and it came out great.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:18:57 PM EST] <The_Bee> I was given a package of cookie mix, which I haven't used yet. Do you know why salt-free butter is recommended for baking?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:19:01 PM EST] <bynw> its not... it's just one molecule away from being plastic
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:19:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I always wondered if the Culinary Institute of America ever ended up with students who were very confused would-be spies.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:19:19 PM EST] <KK> Culinary Institute, I assume, not Central Intelligence?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:19:29 PM EST] <DesertRose> Because the salt content in salted butter can vary widely, and salt has several chemical effects in the baking process.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:19:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Could be either one, KK
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:19:50 PM EST] <bynw> unsalted butter is usually right next to the salted
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:19:53 PM EST] <DesertRose> Your recipe has a better chance of coming out the way you want if you use unsalted butter and add whatever salt the recipe calls for.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:19:55 PM EST] <bynw> and the same price
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:19:57 PM EST] <The_Bee> OK! Glad I bought unsalted butter.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:20:07 PM EST] <KK> With this crew, ya never know. ;-)
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:20:14 PM EST] <derynifank> they are only kitchen spies, lookiig for recipes
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:20:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, if you were a cook/spy, I suppose you could get a job as a cook and put cameras in the soup....
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:20:27 PM EST] <The_Bee> AND salted for me.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:21:06 PM EST] <bynw> unsalted is for baking and salted is for cooking and bread products
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:21:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or have a drone perched on top of the cool cook's hat
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:21:34 PM EST] * The_Bee likes salty. When I was a child I used to drink sea water.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:21:49 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Being the cook might not be bad cover for a spy....
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:21:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Not a good idea, Bee
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:21:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> goodness, how did it not make you barf?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:22:11 PM EST] <Laurna> I have swallowed a lot of salt water in my time. but never intentionally.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:22:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Well...clearly you survived, Bee
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:22:18 PM EST] <The_Bee> My mother disaproved. But it tasted good.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:22:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> lol
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:22:48 PM EST] * The_Bee like sea salt.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:23:44 PM EST] <derynifank> I have seen recipes call for sea salt but not sea water
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:23:55 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> snaps fingers and produces a sachertorte with whipped cream
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:23:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> Only a few sips
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:24:02 PM EST] <KK> Just remember that all sorts of creatures pee and poop in the sea, and then decide whether you really want to drink sea water, Bee.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:24:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Eeew
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:24:25 PM EST] <KK> Exactly.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:24:27 PM EST] * The_Bee sets out mulled cider.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:24:28 PM EST] <bynw> just like a swimming pool
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:24:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Shiral, that's the best way to do it; no worries about seized chocolate!
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:25:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> "We have come to seize your chocolate! Surrender or melt!
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:25:52 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> 🤣
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:26:08 PM EST] <The_Bee> A neighbor with a swimming pool had a sign: "I don't swim in your toilet, don't pee in my pool."
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:26:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> mmmm, the chocolate police... do they just seize chocolate or are they made of chocolate?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:26:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> They shoot tootzie roll bullets
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:26:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> LOL
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:27:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I destroyed my braces on tootzie rolls once. Haven't eaten them since
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:27:48 PM EST] <bynw> tootzie roll bullets would still hurt
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:27:56 PM EST] <DesertRose> I present to you, the Ridiculous Apple Pie. https://imgur.com/a/basvXNy
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:28:00 PM EST] <derynifank> Not supposed to wat anything chewy with braces
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:28:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> But you could lick your wounds
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:28:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I'd eat it...
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:28:46 PM EST] <Laurna> what is ridiculous about that apple pie. Yumm
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:28:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> That's a ridiculous pie!
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:28:53 PM EST] <KK> Why did the pie become ridiculous?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:28:54 PM EST] <DesertRose> And my mother thought I hadn't cut up enough apples.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:29:04 PM EST] <derynifank> That pie must have a whole tree of apples
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:29:04 PM EST] <The_Bee> Is the pie puffed with filling or air?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:29:07 PM EST] <DesertRose> Because it's got about half again as much filling as it probably ought?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:29:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Better filling: crust ratio
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:29:15 PM EST] <DesertRose> Filling, before baking.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:29:34 PM EST] <KK> I think the apple slices probably cook down.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:29:39 PM EST] <The_Bee> not 4-and-20 blackbirds?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:30:06 PM EST] <derynifank> I don't think they cook down that much
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:30:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Now that is a ridiculous pie
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:30:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> Mom bought a five-pound bag of Granny Smith apples because she wanted to try an apple cake recipe and we had decided I was going to bake pie for Christmas dinner. So she used her 1.5 lbs and left the rest to me, and even while I was peeling, coring, and cutting them, she thought there would not be enough apples.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:30:27 PM EST] <KK> So, wehre did all thata filling go, then?
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:30:39 PM EST] <DesertRose> It cooked down into apple-y, cinnamon-y yum.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:30:58 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> 😋
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:31:07 PM EST] <KK> Probably tasted great.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:31:09 PM EST] <Laurna> sounds good to me
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:31:12 PM EST] <DesertRose> It did.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:31:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> You can't have too much cinnamon
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:31:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I know a lot of people really like pie crust, but for me it's jut the vehicle to get the filling from my plate to my mouth
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:31:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> I don't like Granny smiths. Too soour IMHO
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:31:34 PM EST] <bynw> yes a proper apple pie/cobbler/crisp requires a lot of apples
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:31:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Well, I suppose you can, but....
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:31:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Apple pie is always good
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:31:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> And just a touch of nutmeg.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:31:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yep
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:32:04 PM EST] <DesertRose> Granny Smiths aren't really for eating; they're for baking, in which case the tartness and crisp texture works in your favor.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:32:12 PM EST] <Laurna> I love cooking with granny smiths. you can add sugar with the filling getting too sweet
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:32:20 PM EST] <bynw> its best to use a mix of apple types
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:32:25 PM EST] <The_Bee> and cheese. "An apple pie without the cheese is like a kiss without the squeeze."
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:32:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My mom has had a recipe for apple pie that my tastebuds insist is THE way that apple pie should taste.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:32:35 PM EST] <derynifank> I like apple crisp. Don't have to fit into a crust, just yummy crumbles on top
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:32:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I agree, Bee!
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:32:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I love apple pie that IS a little bit tart as well as sweet.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:32:58 PM EST] <bynw> i'm totally with that derynifank ... apple crisp is my favorite desert
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:33:40 PM EST] <The_Bee> My favorte childhood apple recipe was called apple ambrosia.
[Sunday, December 27, 2020] [7:33:40 PM EST] <KK> Hey, guys, all this talk of food, plus the sound of rattling pans in my kitchen, has given me a serious case of the hungries, so I'm going to sign off early. Bynw, we have zoom chat next week at 3?
