[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:24:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I've been modifying my meds, and I've discovered that eating more than a couple of bites gives me massive anxiety. It sucks.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:24:58 PM EST] <Laurna> but sometimes real calories are better for you than virtual calories
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:25:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Darned British Baking show makes me crave carbs.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:25:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> That's not good Nezz
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:25:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I think you've earned a delicious late supper though, Revanne. You need to take good care of yourself
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:25:38 PM EST] <KK> Cleaning up afterward is also easier, Revanne.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:25:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> True
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:25:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> My family does pork pies on Christmas Eve. A recipe from a French-Canadian friend.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:26:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> It's not, but hopefully the body will finish detoxing soon and everything back to normal. 🙂
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:26:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I know, KK! I snap my fingers and the dishes disappear! Alas, that doesn't happen with the real ones
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:26:16 PM EST] <Laurna> Not sure I have ever had a Pork Pie
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:26:49 PM EST] <Laurna> Is it like a Toad in the Hole
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:27:13 PM EST] <KK> Not sure yet what I'll be doing for Christmas this year. I'm not going to Oklahoma, and Cameron and Ana are not coming here. They've got a bad neighbor situation going, and need to move shortly after the first of the year. It's complicated.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:27:23 PM EST] <Laurna> The local renisance faire had the best Toad in a Hole
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:27:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Planning Thanksgiving myself. Considering teasing my family by telling them this is the year we're having squid instead
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:27:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> If you make it over the pond, Laurna, we have some great farm shops near here which make their own.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:27:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Mmmmmm, squid... j/k
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:27:53 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> What is Toad in a Hole?
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:28:10 PM EST] <The_Bee> here it's basically ground pork and beef in a pie shell.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:28:11 PM EST] <Laurna> I shall take you up on that Revanne. some day
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:28:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Bad neighbor situations are never fun
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:28:35 PM EST] <The_Bee> I mean pork pie, not toad in the hole.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:28:36 PM EST] <Laurna> A saussage wrapped in bisket.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:28:39 PM EST] <KK> No.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:28:43 PM EST] <DesertRose> The Pod-Child is coming home for T'giving but won't be off work for Christmas so we're doing Thanksmas.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:28:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> HOwever, I'm glad to know Cameron and Anna plan to move AWAY from their problem neighbors
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:29:17 PM EST] <The_Bee> I hope you have a great time, DR.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:29:17 PM EST] <Laurna> Hope they find a good new home soon
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:29:40 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Problem neighbors are the worst
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:29:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Sounds like Natchitoches meat pies but probably with different spices
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:30:02 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> I am really lucky in that i have great neaigbors.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:30:10 PM EST] <KK> I do have a Thanksgiving invite, so that's covered. And I found m little wee tree and Christmas wreath a couple of days ago, so I won't be entirely bereft of Christmas ambiance.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:30:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Chat before lunch is presenting it's own problems. Now I want pork pie!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:30:24 PM EST] <Laurna> Nice
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:30:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> As we think Richard will most likely still be in hospital for Christmas and if not will not be fit to travel I think everyone is coming here. Not sure where everyone will sleep...
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:30:38 PM EST] <Laurna> I am hungrey too
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:30:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Oops sorry Shiral
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:30:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> The Quebecois recipe may differ from the English.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:31:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Not to worry. I am even curious enough to try toad in the hole!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:31:20 PM EST] <KK> You can look it up on the internet.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:31:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But the refrigerator says "Left over meat loaf is what we've gone
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:31:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> got
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:31:44 PM EST] <The_Bee> not with real toads, I hope.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:31:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Sounds sort of the same Bee but chopped pork without the beef.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:32:08 PM EST] <KK> Never real toads!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:32:10 PM EST] <Laurna> at least not in California, bee
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:32:13 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> You sound like my DD1, who every time I ask her a question, tells me to Google it
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:32:18 PM EST] <The_Bee> Maybe beef is to stretch it.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:32:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> looks like "classic Toad in the Hole" is different from other kinds of TitH
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:32:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> No toads were harmed in the making.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:32:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I've heard it described as Yorkshire pudding with sausage included
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:32:47 PM EST] <KK> That sounds reasonable.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:32:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:33:00 PM EST] <KK> Yum!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:33:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> No Toads harmed, just a pig and a cow. 🙂
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:33:02 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Sounds yummy
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:33:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> That sounds tasty
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:33:20 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Much better than toad, certainly
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:33:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Better for the toads if not the pig.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:33:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> I wonder if Toad in the Hole was the inspiration for corn dogs.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:33:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> hee hee
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:34:07 PM EST] <KK> People eat frogs, but does anyone actually eat toads?
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:34:11 PM EST] <The_Bee> Toads have lovely voices in mating time, but I'd rather not eat one.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:34:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> BRB Laundry needs to go in the dryer
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:34:17 PM EST] <Laurna> Yuck
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:34:21 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Toads are not very meaty, would take a lot of them to make a serving
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:34:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Somehow, I hope not
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:34:52 PM EST] <KK> Yeah, they don't have those meaty back legs the way frogs do.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:35:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> I felt a bit guilty yesterday, had a second breakfast of a bacon butty after I walked past a field of pigs.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:35:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I do know that toads are not good for dogs to eat
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:35:23 PM EST] <The_Bee> The word "toady" comes from toad-eater. i means someone who'll do anything to curry favor with a person in power.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:35:26 PM EST] <Laurna> Just thank the pigs and keep eating the bacon
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:35:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> it means
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:35:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> yumm, bacon
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:35:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Thanks piggies! 🙂
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:36:00 PM EST] <KK> We had a cat (Sophie) who caught and ate a toad that had been hanging out in our back fountain, but she soon barfed it up, thanks goodness.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:36:15 PM EST] <Laurna> Dear oh dear
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:36:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> poor Sophie
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:36:47 PM EST] <KK> Made a disgusting mess, but better on the ground than in her tummy, I'm sure.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:36:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> I have a vague memory that toads have a gland that secretes something fairly noxious
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:36:54 PM EST] <The_Bee> I heard a story about wolves who caught a frog and used it as a squeeze toy.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:37:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> snork
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:37:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Poor frog!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:37:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> that made me literally snort out loud 🙂
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:37:48 PM EST] <Laurna> Love the "Snork"
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:37:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> Some frogs (or is it toads?) have poison under their skin.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:38:00 PM EST] <KK> I think it's toads.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:38:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Tati's a bug huntress
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:38:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Poison arrow frogs are definitely poisonous, but I don't think we have any of those in North America
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:39:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> They're usually very bright colored--nature's way of saying "don't touch."
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:39:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> But there are certain types of toads that people lick that have a mild poison that can be hallucinogenic. Or so the story goes...
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:39:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I've never had frog contact highs....
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:39:34 PM EST] <KK> I've heard that somewhere.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:39:38 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> "Homer, are you licking toads?" "I'm not NOT licking toads..."
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:39:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I'd have to be hallucinating to lick a toad
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:39:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> LOL, Jerusha. Me too, pretty much
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:39:54 PM EST] <KK> Licking a toad. Eeeeewwww!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:39:54 PM EST] <Laurna> Last spring I moved a bunch of tadpols from my fountain in the front yard to my fishpond in the back yard and now I have frogs croking the back yard so some of them must have grown up
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:39:57 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Ewww
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:40:14 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've hears that morning-glory seeds can also be hallucinogenic.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:40:20 PM EST] <Laurna> Gads No licking toads
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:40:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Laurna, yay for the tadpoles!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:40:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Bee, I get morning glories in my backyard every yer. Maybe I should try it... 😉
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:40:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> I wonder if that's why poisonous mushrooms are called toadstools?
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:40:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> There's a town in Arkansas called "Toadsuck" How'd you like to say "I"m from Toadsuck Arkansas"?
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:41:23 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Definitely not
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:41:25 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've heard toads in mating season with a long, high trill that would do a coloratura soprano proud.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:41:30 PM EST] <Laurna> Sometimes not telling the truth would be best
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:41:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or maybe skipping the name of the town
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:42:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But then I knew a young woman in College whose home town was "Boring Oregon"
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:42:43 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Boring is better than toad suck
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:42:50 PM EST] <Laurna> My Niece moved to Weed Ca
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:42:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I'd have to agree in this case
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:43:00 PM EST] <DesertRose> I mean, the town where I actually lived when I say "Charleston" was called "Goose Creek," so I've no room to talk about silly city names.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:43:06 PM EST] <The_Bee> Nezz, I've thought about trying morning-clory seeds , but I'm not sure how it would affect me.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:43:07 PM EST] <DesertRose> Nice, Laurna! :D
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:43:19 PM EST] <KK> I've never heard of people actually eating toadstools except by mistake. And I'm not enough of a mushroom expert to be sure about going out to pick my own. But I'd always avoid brightly colored mushroomy looking things.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:43:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I've driven past Weed on the way up to college
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:43:51 PM EST] <Laurna> The veiw of mount Shasta is stunning.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:43:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> There are no old AND bold mushroom hunters.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:44:01 PM EST] <The_Bee> I once tried to raise mushrooms. I got only a few.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:44:09 PM EST] <KK> True, I'm sure!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:44:35 PM EST] <Laurna> I only buy store mushrooms. would never try a wild one
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:44:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> You can be a bold mushroom hunter, or one who's careful enough to carefully identify what they're picking!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:44:42 PM EST] <DesertRose> There are some kits you can buy to grow them at home.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:44:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Same here, Laurna
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:45:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Bee, I'm honestly not sure how to collect Morning Glory seeds: the flowers are so small. at least, the wild ones are...
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:45:08 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Think I will stick to store mushrooms
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:45:15 PM EST] <The_Bee> I used an online-bought mushroom kit.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:45:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> "All mushrooms are edible, but some only once"
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:45:37 PM EST] <The_Bee> LOL!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:45:39 PM EST] <Laurna> lol TRue
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:45:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Seems like Ray Bradbury write a story about boys raising mushrooms in the cellar. It didn't end well...
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:45:46 PM EST] <DesertRose> A friend of mine used these: https://northspore.com/pages/growkits and got good results.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:46:07 PM EST] <DesertRose> I haven't bothered because I don't eat mushrooms, but if you like them, it's a cool way to have some readily to hand.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:46:32 PM EST] <Eris> <Revanne> Going to head off to bed now, brain beginning to lose the plot. Night all, lovely to chat and thanks for all the kind thoughts and prayers.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:46:35 PM EST] <DesertRose> Was it Granny Weatherwax that said "some only once"?
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:46:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I like mild white mushrooms. Those Blue Oyster mushrooms need more cowbell...
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:46:42 PM EST] <DesertRose> Night, Revanne.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:46:48 PM EST] <Laurna> I have an odd mushroom that comes up in my lawn and I make sure I cut it off and throw it away before the dogs can get to it
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:46:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Goodnight Revanne, and hope you can feel calm
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:46:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> Would you expect a Ray Bradbury story to end well?
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:46:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nighters, Revanne!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:46:58 PM EST] <Laurna> Good Night Revanne. Take care
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:46:59 PM EST] * DesertRose gives Revanne a big hug and casts Banish Insomnimonster over her.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:47:03 PM EST] <Laurna> Many hugs
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:47:05 PM EST] <Eris> <DFK> Night Revanne. Sleep well and love to Richard
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:47:07 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> We used to have picture books about Babar, the King of the Elephants. The King of the Elephants before Babar died after eating a bad mushroom. The book showed the old KIng of the elephants as being all green and shaky. That picture scared my sister so badly she refused to each ANY mushrooms for the next decade.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:47:14 PM EST] <KK> Bee, I think I'd avoid hallucinogenic things like morning glory seeds. You never know how they might affect you.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:47:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> Bee, some of them do, but it's true very many of them do not
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:47:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Night, Revanne!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:47:25 PM EST] <The_Bee> Nighters, Revanna Thoughts of you and Richard.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:47:33 PM EST] <DesertRose> I just dislike the texture of mushrooms and don't think they have much flavor.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:47:36 PM EST] <KK> Nighters, Revanne. Hugs!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:47:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I only like cooked mushrooms. The raw ones nope
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:47:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Many hugs, Revanne
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:48:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hugs, Revanne. I hope you're not left in medical limbo much longer
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:48:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I actually avoid halluciinogenic things in general, and definitely someonething that wasn't prescribed by a dr
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:48:13 PM EST] <KK> And a better week, Revanne!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:48:24 PM EST] <DesertRose> My mom makes a few recipes in which they are cooked down so far that they basically serve as a thickening agent to the gravy/sauce/whatever in the recipe, and I can tolerate that.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:48:25 PM EST] <Laurna> Yes a better week ahead
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:49:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yeah, no hallucinogens for me. I prefer my substances to relax me, thanks.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:49:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Nezz> I do like fresh mushrooms cooked and added to foods, like strogonoff.
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:49:21 PM EST] <KK> I think it's also time for me to say goodnight. Booker is reminding me that his tummy is still on daylight savings time, and he needs to be fed!
[Sunday, November 14, 2021] [4:49:31 PM EST] <Laurna> chocolate, Is all that I need
