[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:02:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:02:42 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:02:50 PM EDT] <Imladris> Welcome, KK
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:02:53 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, troops!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:02:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I was guessing it meant afk because fenix is grayed out on Konversation over here.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:03:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And each client has its own way of indicating things.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:03:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> BRB, Carys has been patient and I really should give her her wet food.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:03:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi everyone
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:03:58 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Shiral.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:04:05 PM EDT] <Imladris> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:04:23 PM EDT] <KK> I just gave Gus wet food. He's on kidney RX diet now.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:04:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Fed the Pygmy Lions about an hour ago
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:05:07 PM EDT] <Imladris> dragon fed this morning.. on her rock...
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:05:22 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Shiral
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:05:24 PM EDT] <KK> Booker, of course, thinks he should get more. But he's a dog.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:05:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> There's no way to convince a dog he's had enough food for the day.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:06:01 PM EDT] <KK> Dogs always think they should get more.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:06:23 PM EDT] <bynw> very true. dogs don't know when the next meal is coming so eat a lot and eat now is all they know
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:06:58 PM EDT] <KK> But dogs know when it's dinner time....
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:06:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> gives Booker a virtual dog biscuit
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:07:13 PM EDT] <KK> Daylight savings messes with their heads.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:07:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Messes with all our heads in some ways
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:08:17 PM EDT] <KK> True.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:08:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi everyone
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:08:24 PM EDT] <Imladris> just pointed out a mealworm Bronwyn had missed... she corrected the oversight immediately
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:08:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi DFK
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:08:35 PM EDT] <Imladris> Hey DFK
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:08:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi KK
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:08:44 PM EDT] <bynw> hi DFK
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:08:46 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, DFK.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:09:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral and DFK
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:09:11 PM EDT] <KK> Are the mealworms alive or frozen?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:09:19 PM EDT] Join The_Bee (The_Bee@owirc-aee.tb3.61.73.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:09:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys has gotten her wet food and is content.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:09:25 PM EDT] <Imladris> live... keep in refrigerator.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:09:26 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Bee.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:09:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> She'd be happier if I gave her MORE wet food, but she's content.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:09:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Bee.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:09:43 PM EDT] <The_Bee> HI KK and all!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:09:46 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Bee
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:09:48 PM EDT] <Imladris> Hi Bee
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:09:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Bee. How are you weathering the storm or is it there yet
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:10:11 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, how much of the storm did you get?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:10:26 PM EDT] <KK> You obviously have power.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:10:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And internet access.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:10:55 PM EDT] <The_Bee> here in Boston, Henri is not mch.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:11:08 PM EDT] <bynw> power and internet access are 2 important things
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:11:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> or much
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:11:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> That's good
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:11:21 PM EDT] <KK> Excellent.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:11:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Good!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:11:32 PM EDT] <Imladris> Tres bien
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:11:48 PM EDT] <The_Bee> snot the great hurrricane we were braced for.ome wind, some rain,
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:12:12 PM EDT] <KK> It made landfall as a tropical storm, so that's good.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:12:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Don't think he is done yet
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:12:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Better to brace for worse weather than you actually have to deal with than the other way around.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:12:30 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Thhat statement is a bit mixed up. No snot involved
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:12:51 PM EDT] <Imladris> was crazy in TN.. heard one place got 17" in less than 24h.. that would make even FL flood...
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:12:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Thank goodness!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:12:54 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, good. The notion of a snotstorm doesn't bear thinking about.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:13:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That would be a cold or flu.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:13:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Or allergy season.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:13:41 PM EDT] <bynw> snotstorm ... hahaha
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:13:48 PM EDT] <Imladris> Be like when the molasses vat burst in Boston.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:13:53 PM EDT] <KK> TN <was> crazy.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:14:02 PM EDT] * bynw has no snotstorms and no durachos this year either
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:14:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Or what happens after you have a serious cry.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:14:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Only a guy would love that
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:14:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Frankly, I was a bit disappointed with Henry. He coud have at least given us something to brag about.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:14:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Probably not the bragging rights you really want
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:14:46 PM EDT] <Imladris> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Molasses_Flood
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:14:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Although at least with Tennessee, there are rivers and places for water to go. Florida is so flat, once we're flooded, we're ah, up the creek.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:14:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Wish Henri could come visit us.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:14:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Henri--pardonnexmoi!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:15:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Are the fires near you, shiral?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:15:27 PM EDT] <Imladris> nah. it is a giant sand bar.. most soaks in
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:15:50 PM EDT] <KK> Great Molasses Flood. Yuck!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:16:24 PM EDT] <KK> But it can only soak in so far, once the ground is saturated.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:16:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, that.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:17:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Honestly, if I could channel a certain Festillic princess, I would absolutely point some rain towards the PNW/Rockies.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:17:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> We are soaked in Florida, and y'all need it in California.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:17:25 PM EDT] <KK> If only....
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:17:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've read about the molasses flood. One version is that the molasses was supposed to be used to make rum, but Prohibition happened.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:17:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Ready to buy a map of California and a watering can...
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:17:48 PM EDT] <bynw> it never rains where we want it to rain and always rains where we dont
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:17:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> Usually the mountains squish the clouds dry as they pass over, don't they?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:17:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> We need lessons in weather working, and dreyni powers of course
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:17:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> See if I can channel Ariella!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:18:04 PM EDT] <Imladris> We have been getting a little rain here.. so we have smoke from surrounding.. but doing pretty good locally in the Black Hills
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:18:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> Though it would consider the normal rain-shadow region
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:18:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Wecan ship oil all over the world; why not water?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:18:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Seems like I wish that a lot. I remember a few winters ago when Bee's part of the country was getting snowed half to death, we were talking about packing all that snow into trucks and hauling it into the Sierra Nevadas (which need to earn that name).
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:19:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> We can ship water, but the therapeutic dose for water is higher than for oil
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:19:22 PM EDT] <The_Bee> 22015. 100+ feet, IIRC.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:19:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> True
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:20:57 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Maybe we could use all that plastic waste to build canal or tunnels to send water where it's needed.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:21:02 PM EDT] <Imladris> remember after Andrew, Annheiser Busch (sp) did a run of canned water ... to ship there.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:21:22 PM EDT] <bynw> i can get all the extremes of weather .... cold, heat, humidity, wind chill, snow, ice, wet, flooding, dry, windy, still ...
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:22:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2021/04/drought-plagued-california-orders-nestle-to-stop-hogging-water/
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:22:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> They do ship water in drought-stricken areas. Often in the wrong direction
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:23:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> in the west they tried to turn deserts into golf greens and wasted a lot of water
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:23:57 PM EDT] <Imladris> Same problem in FL...
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:23:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, and we kids out west used to complain mightily because nobody needs a golf course but kids need swimming pools. (Cut me some slack, I was ten years old.)
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:24:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> There is a woman in Kenya who has developed a way to turn plastic waste into building bricks that don't break
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:24:31 PM EDT] <KK> No offense to golf lovers, but I have no use for the sport.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:24:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't much either.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:24:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Have any of you seen or read adddddddddocumentary called Merchants of Doubt? It's about polluters trying to convince people they're doing nothing wrong.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:24:55 PM EDT] * bynw has never played a game of golf
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:25:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> me neither
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:25:07 PM EDT] * bynw has relatives who do though
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:25:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My stepdad used to play and quite well. Could have gone Senior PGA when he retired.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:25:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Decided he'd rather build birdhouses and annoy my mom.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:25:29 PM EDT] <Imladris> have a FL friendly landscape... as per the Florida statutes to keep from wasting water and putting fertilizer in the lagoon... [expletive deleted] Home Owners Association took me to court.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:25:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I can't see myself trying to put a little ball down a little hope a long way away
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:25:41 PM EDT] <KK> Carpet golf. And they had us putting in high school. It didn't take.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:26:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've never swung a gold club and don't plan to.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:26:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> I can get behind kids and others needing pools. It's one of the lowest-impact forms of exercise
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:26:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (Not really. I mean, he does build birdhouses and he does annoy my mom, but I do not believe it is possible to live with anyone, never mind for almost 37 years, and not annoy them.)
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:26:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My mom and my brother and I played a round of miniature golf while on vacation, last Friday. It was this hilarious old course with lots of dinosaurs and fish and reptiles, all looking very shopworn.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:26:42 PM EDT] <KK> Very good overall exercise.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:26:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I've played mini golf, but not in ages.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:26:53 PM EDT] <Imladris> only golf courses I have played on .. had windmills or dinosaurs on them...
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:27:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> BRB
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:27:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I think the last time was "cosmic golf," aka indoor mini golf with black lights.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:27:17 PM EDT] <KK> Same here, Imladris.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:27:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But adult golf? No thank you
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:27:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> Shopworn minigolf on astroturf is drought-resistant (and fun!)
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:27:54 PM EDT] <Imladris> Think I played in one near Stuart's Draft in 1990
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:28:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I think this place was pretty bare bones even when new, and that was probably back in the 1960's.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:28:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> and how much exercise do you get riding around in a golf cary=t/
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:28:13 PM EDT] <KK> Haven't played in decades.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:28:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Minigolf indoors on carpet with black lights is pretty cool, too, and mostly drought resistant (except when you account for power).
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:29:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> So. Indoor pool, indoor golf, and let the desert alone?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:29:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Yup
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:29:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Pretty much, yeah.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:29:18 PM EDT] <bynw> DFK, depends on how you drive it
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:29:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> We were the only people there, and we allowed ourselves a lot of "practice shots" and we laughed at ourselves a lot. Not a bad way to pass an afternoon.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:29:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Forgot the time
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:29:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Let the desert alone is my vote.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:29:52 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Laurna.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:29:54 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Laurna.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:29:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Laurna
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:29:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> over hill, over dale, between holes
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:30:07 PM EDT] <bynw> Hi Laurna
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:30:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Laurna
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:30:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> I feel like domed cities in the desert might not be the worst choice
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:30:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The desert is a rich ecosystem but it's very fragile. You can screw it up in a hurry.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:31:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Have seen those in sci-fi movies. Some don't look too bad
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:31:08 PM EDT] <KK> So much of south and central California is really desert that has been reclaimed with the water. It really isn't that hospitable an area.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:31:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And trying to make golf courses happen in the Valley of the Sun is an easy way to mess it up.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:31:28 PM EDT] * DesertRose steps off her soapbox.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:31:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> You just have to look out for the mad scientist. Or the mad politician who ignores the warning of the scientist.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:31:46 PM EDT] <Imladris> sorta like the Salton Sea which was an accident in origin
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:32:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> We are not desert we are Chaparral. There are 5 chaparrals in the world. Califonia, Australia, Spain one in Africa and one on Chilli
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:32:54 PM EDT] <KK> Are you high or low chaparal?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:33:09 PM EDT] <Laurna> Unlike other regions we are dry in the summer and wet in the cold months.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:33:13 PM EDT] <KK> Or chaparral.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:33:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I keep reading about developments built on reclaimed wetlands. Trouble is, now Mother Nature wants them back
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:33:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> Low chaparral
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:33:27 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm trying to remember the title of a book I read recently about how racism hurts everyone. It old haow many cities closed public swimming pools to avoid integrating them.;
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:33:36 PM EDT] <KK> What is the difference?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:33:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Hi y'all
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:33:51 PM EDT] <bynw> hi CW
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:33:54 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Catherine.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:33:57 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi CW
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:34:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> High Chaparral is the mountain area below the line of pine trees
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:34:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi CW
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:34:04 PM EDT] <Imladris> hi, CW
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:34:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi CW
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:34:07 PM EDT] <DesertRose> HI CW
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:34:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Did not mean to yell. Didn't quite lift my pinky off the shift key. Mea culpa.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:34:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> More and more of our pines are dyingoff and becoming high chaparral with sage and manzintta
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:35:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> puts out cupcakes on the chatroom table
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:35:05 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yum
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:35:06 PM EDT] <Imladris> lot of sage next door in Wyoming...
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:35:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> yummy
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:35:23 PM EDT] <bynw> cupcakes? .....
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:35:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Choose a cupcake, it will be whatever kind of cake you like best
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:35:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mmm, cupcakes.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:35:42 PM EDT] * bynw saw a whole bunch of sage on his drive
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:35:50 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hard to decide which
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:36:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh, WHILE driving, and not on your computer hard drive I hope, Bynw?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:36:11 PM EDT] <Imladris> Pronghorn like sage.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:36:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sage is a good all weather dry plant
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:36:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I found out a week or so ago that ganache makes really good frosting for the chocolate Waldorf cake that my family has used for birthday cake for ages.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:36:28 PM EDT] <Laurna> HEHE Shiral
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:36:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But I'd have been better off to whip it, because as it was, it was extremely messy. Still tasted good.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:37:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Chocolate Waldorf cake sounds intriguing. What's in it?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:37:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Virtual baking can be fun, Laurna. =o) Works like my teapot which pours each person's favorite kind of tea.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:37:08 PM EDT] <bynw> LOL. Yes Shiral. When I drove to Montanta and back, since it took me through a corner of Wyoming
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:37:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> DR, chocolate fondant is good, too.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:37:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's one of those Depression/WWII era cakes that uses mayo to replace eggs and oil, and it also has a little bit of blackberry jam in it (why, I do not know, but it seems to make the cake very soft and springy).
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:37:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Have any of you read The Sum of Us by Heather C McGhee?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:38:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Sounds good
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:38:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> From the Charleston Receipts (Charleston Junior League) cookbook.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:38:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> But mayo is egg and oil
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:38:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> adds a teapot to the chatroom table for anyone who'd like virtual tea with their virtual cupcakes.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:38:54 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, but generally you put egg and oil in the cake batter as separate ingredients, not already mixed as commercial mayo.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:38:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Tea is always welcome
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:39:01 PM EDT] * The_Bee sets out scones and butter.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:39:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> True
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:39:13 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yum Bee
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:39:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> According to the British, tea cures everything
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:39:33 PM EDT] <Laurna> I am not going to put mayo in my cake batter. no matter what
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:39:41 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And then, of course, cocoa powder, flour, sugar, baking soda and a little bit of salt.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:39:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> When I take over the world, everyone will be required to stop at 4 pm local time for afternoon tea.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:39:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Tea sounds good right now, I'm just too lazy today to brew any. 🙄
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:40:15 PM EDT] * bynw skips the tea and pours another Pepsi
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:40:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> A couple of years ago I decided to try frosting the cake with the seven-minute icing the recipe recommends, and we liked that too. Seven-minute icing is basically meringue.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:40:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> So you get chocolate meringue layer cake.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:40:40 PM EDT] <Laurna> Water in electric kettle. hot in minutes, tea from tea bag in cup. Tea in seconds
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:41:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But something about that particular cake recipe is a bit humidity reactive or something, because it never quite comes out the same way twice.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:41:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My sister and I made a walnut cake that had 7 minute icing. It was kind of like a science experiment, as the icing volume just kept expanding. Then my sister dropped a hot pad into the icing bowl by accident. That was a very sticky hot pad.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:42:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I made it for Mom's birthday when I was a teenager and when I put the second layer on and started to frost it, about two-thirds of it fell sideways. I patched it with frosting and kept on going. No one complained.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:42:40 PM EDT] <Laurna> Your sister does not have the nickname of Kelric does she. Liking sticky things
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:42:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Water in microwave, 3 tea bags in my large mug, steep 10 minutes, add cream, enjoy!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:43:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> No, usually I'm the one who drops things and makes sticky messes
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:43:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> An author named Mignon F. Ballard wrote a series of books set during WWII. She talks about the awful-tasting food substitutes people had to use.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:43:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> Wow that is a little heavy on the tea bags for me
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:43:22 PM EDT] <Imladris> gonna grill some lamb ribs....
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:43:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But you should never let Kelric Alain Morgan near a bowl of 7 minute icing unsupervised, I'm guessing.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:43:39 PM EDT] <Laurna> YUmm
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:43:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> Tea at 16:00 is a meal, not a beverage
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:44:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> But Kelric was jst interested
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:44:32 PM EDT] <Laurna> Can be play sainta claus maman, I can make up the white hair and beard with this cake icing
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:44:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> @Laurna my mug is 34 oz, anything less than 3 tea bags gets lost.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:45:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I think probably Kelric shouldn't be allowed into the castle kitchens. 😏
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:45:13 PM EDT] <Laurna> EHEHE
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:45:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> That is not a mug, it's a pitcher
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:45:24 PM EDT] <Imladris> got the white hair and beard myself....
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:45:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Richenda would sigh and tell the cook to heat up a lot of bathwater!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:46:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> DF, it's perfect for 90 minute zoom sessions.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:46:03 PM EDT] <Imladris> tell naughty kids... "you know who my brother is, don't you? I help him figure out who is naughty and who is nice....."
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:46:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> CW my idea of tea is one bag all day. 2sec immersion in hot water the first time in the morning and then a regular dunking of the same bag with each tea cup all day long.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:46:49 PM EDT] <Imladris> Laurna .. that is coloured water.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:46:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> Homeopathic tea?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:47:08 PM EDT] <Laurna> Coloured hot water
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:47:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> You like lightly colored hot water?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:47:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yep
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:47:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I make sun tea in the summer and put a jar with about 4 tea bags in it in the sun for about an hour. That makes it strong enough.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:48:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Brb, now I need tea!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:48:14 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've made sun tea twice. Once was successful, the other not so much.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:48:15 PM EDT] <Laurna> HEHE
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:49:25 PM EDT] <KK> Sun tea is nice. Doesn't even need sugar.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:49:37 PM EDT] <Laurna> agreed
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:49:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:49:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:49:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:49:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:50:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> if you use sweeet teabags
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:50:08 PM EDT] <Imladris> <<<<never put sugar in tea....
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:50:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:50:14 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:50:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It doesn't NEED it, KK, but I add a little anyway. =o)
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:50:20 PM EDT] <Laurna> Never put sugar in tea either
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:50:28 PM EDT] <Imladris> from the part of the south that is a suburb of NYC
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:50:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> No sugar in iced tea
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:50:32 PM EDT] <KK> No. But brewing it with sun keeps it from becoming bitter.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:50:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I always add at least a little. To each they're own
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:50:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:50:51 PM EDT] <Imladris> Ft. Laud.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:50:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I used to make sun tea in Arizona.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:50:54 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Jerusha.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:51:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi KK
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:51:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Their own. Sheesh, getting my there, their and they'res mixed up
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:51:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> You're not alone, Shiral.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:51:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Tell you what, it gets strong in a hurry. And because some fool prior owner of that home had planted mint IN THE GROUND, I tended to throw a few (washed) mint leaves in the tea pitcher too.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:52:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Did the mint take over the bed?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:52:29 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The yard.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:52:36 PM EDT] <Laurna> So I am dog sitting Bailey's Cream, one of my puppies from last year. and he is sitting at my feet with HUGE dark eyes saying pet me.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:52:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> You monster! Pet that puppy!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:52:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> <3
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:52:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Ohh, pass him over to me
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:53:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Definitely pet that puppy
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:53:09 PM EDT] <Laurna> Lol I am
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:53:34 PM EDT] <KK> Is he mostly cream?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:54:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> He was the most white of the puppies about 50 50 black and white
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:54:15 PM EDT] <Laurna> He has the sweatest face
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:54:16 PM EDT] <KK> Awww....
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:54:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Sigh....
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:54:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Bailey's Cream should have a bit of whiskey, too.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:54:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Portal him over
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:54:36 PM EDT] <KK> Who owns him?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:54:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> Do not feed whiskey to the dog
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:54:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (Do not feed the dog whiskey. I meant his coloring should have some brown.)
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:55:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> A lady named Lisa. but she is going out of state for a few days
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:55:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> How can you look at a puppy and NOT pet him/her? =o)
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:55:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't pet if the people don't give me the okay, but otherwise, I pet the puppy.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:55:50 PM EDT] <Laurna> They are tri colored with redish eybrows and checks.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:55:54 PM EDT] <bynw> i'm not even a dog person and would have to pet the puppy
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:56:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yep
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:56:30 PM EDT] <Laurna> No one could say no to this face.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:56:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Puppies can sucker anyone, even a confirmed cat person
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:56:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Picture
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:56:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> Share an image of the face?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:56:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I met a neighbor dog in the laundry room a few weeks ago, who, after his people said it was okay (and could tell that I didn't have a problem with it) gave me puppy kisses.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:56:52 PM EDT] <Imladris> << generally doesn't pet puppies...
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:56:53 PM EDT] * bynw is a confirmed cat person
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:56:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> Please?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:56:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I saw a tipsy puppy once. She kept trying to climb up the stairs and rolling down.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:57:07 PM EDT] <Imladris> allergies are not a nice thing.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:57:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I don't dare spend any time with actual puppies--I feel that's the sure way to end up having a dog.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:57:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Allergies are a legit reason not to pet the puppy.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:57:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or a cat
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:57:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:57:43 PM EDT] <Imladris> yup
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:57:44 PM EDT] <KK> Your cats would object.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:57:56 PM EDT] <Imladris> breathing is preferred... even over puppies
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:58:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Why do I think Dmitri would lay down the law about a puppy?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:58:14 PM EDT] <KK> I'm sure he would.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:58:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh definitely. Just came home from a week away yesterday. I tease my cat sitter that she's the "other woman" in Dmitri's life because she adores him.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:58:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Just send the puppy to me - not a problem
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:58:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> He can't decide if he's more cross with me for leaving, or happy that I came home.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:58:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> he would be hard to part with.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:58:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I get a lot of adoring Stink-eye.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:59:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> They always are
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:59:09 PM EDT] <KK> He'll quickly forgive you.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:59:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> all it takes is a treat or two
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:59:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> He would be seriously out of countenance if I brought home a puppy
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:59:38 PM EDT] <bynw> my baby girl was happy i came home after being gone for more than a week. she did give me a talking to but loved that i was home again
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [7:59:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We once had a dog and a kitten. The kitten used to suckle on the dog's nipple.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:00:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I have seen dogs and cats get along great.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:00:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> And Tati would freak out completely
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:00:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> But Dmitri seems to be the Master of the House and would be displeased in the extreme to have to put up with a dog.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:00:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> He sure would, DR!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:00:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I once had five cats and two dogs. The boss cat kept everyone in line
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:01:43 PM EDT] <Laurna> KK I watched your interview, that was great fun!
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:01:53 PM EDT] <Imladris> what interview?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:01:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> Or rather I listened to the pod cast
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:02:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes, it was
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:02:13 PM EDT] <KK> I haven't listened to it yet, but it was fun to do.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:02:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Interview?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:02:25 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Link is on the forum, Catherine.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:02:30 PM EDT] <bynw> this is why you should be on the forum
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:02:31 PM EDT] <Laurna> COOL
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:02:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I do wish the pause button had worked; phone rang in the middle of it
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:02:53 PM EDT] <Imladris> what forum?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:02:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> https://soundcloud.com/writersofthefuture/136-katherine-kurtz-created-the-historical-fantasy-sub-genre

[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:03:17 PM EDT] <Imladris> oh... am there.. missed it
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:03:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I am, just haven't dropped by in a while.

[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:03:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Aha! Slipped under the radar while I was away
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:04:10 PM EDT] * The_Bee will check it out later. Thanks for the info.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:04:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> Thank you for mentioning the forum too.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:04:33 PM EDT] <KK> I'm getting ready to do a major rearrange of my office. The big oak rolltop desk is just too massive for the room. Gotta get something less bulky.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:05:00 PM EDT] <Laurna> But sturdy enough for Gus to sit upon
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:05:02 PM EDT] <KK> A table, I think.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:05:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I had to give up my pine roll-top desk when we moved. I miss it.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:05:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Rolltops are that way. Although they're a very handy way to disguise a messy desk fast =o)
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:05:21 PM EDT] <Imladris> Asparagus?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:05:34 PM EDT] * bynw has an old slant top desk that needs some fixing up
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:05:38 PM EDT] <KK> This one was Scott's, and he loved it, but it just isn't me.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:06:06 PM EDT] <Imladris> My roll top from My office is in storage in FL :-(
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:06:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I now have one of those, Bynw. I fear if I sneeze, it will fall apart
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:06:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Mine was a relic of my high school years.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:06:33 PM EDT] <Laurna> Need something stronger than that
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:06:47 PM EDT] <bynw> i need to get it restored
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:06:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> brb
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:07:00 PM EDT] <bynw> it originally belonged to my great grand mother
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:07:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I have a corner desk from Ikea that is serviceable, but pretty well devoid of beauty or distinction
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:07:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> DH insisted we needed to keep his grandfather's desk. Not my thing
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:07:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> KK, have you read JP Reedman's Sacred King? It's Richard III, plus mysticism and fantasy. The link goes to a review from the Richard III Society.

[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:07:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> Mine is an office depot desk with upper cabnet space
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:08:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Angsthase> My laptop sits on an old ironing board
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:08:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Mine sometimes groans for no reason. It may be haunted
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:08:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Mine is a corner desk, glass and chrome and "cherry finish" pressboard, but it works.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:08:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> GHosts? of the PAST?
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:08:56 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And it's nice to have the glass panel above the keyboard tray when I want to trace something (usually for SCA calligraphy stuff).

[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:10:23 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My desk is large, with shelves, cubby-holes and a slidingshelf.
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:10:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> One day I will pull out a drawer, and the whole thing will collapse. One can but hope...
[Sunday, August 22, 2021] [8:10:35 PM EDT] <KK> On that note, folks, I need to check out. It's been a busy day, a busy weekend, and I'm not done yet. See you all next week.
