[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:11:23 PM EDT] <KK> It's been a lazy day.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:11:47 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> summer has struck with a vengence
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:11:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> hot or stormy where you are?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:12:00 PM EDT] <KK> Hot.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:12:22 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Hope it hasn't been as hot in Staunton as it has been here. They are debating whether we hit 97 or 98. Either way HOT!!!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:12:26 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hot, here but only in the 90s
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:12:30 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hello everyone
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:12:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> hi Shiral
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:12:44 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Shiral
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:12:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Only in the 90s?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:12:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:12:54 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> snaps fingers, produces a swimming pool and fills it
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:12:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Everybody in!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:13:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We're just getting the edge of the heat dome.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:13:01 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, lower 90s
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:13:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Jumping in
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:13:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> only 98F
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:13:34 PM EDT] * The_Bee does a cannonball into the pool.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:13:35 PM EDT] <bynw> it's 88/92 heat index right now here
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:13:39 PM EDT] <bynw> going to be hotter tomorrow
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:13:50 PM EDT] <KK> Its only 84 now. Was hottr earlier.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:13:53 PM EDT] <bynw> yesterday was really hot
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:13:57 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> @Laurna It's 98 where you are?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:14:01 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> adds some air mattresses and other pool toys
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:14:02 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> It's 94 here now.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:14:19 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Evening all
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:14:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Rubber Ducky
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:14:22 PM EDT] <The_Bee> 81f here
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:14:22 PM EDT] <KK> It was about that yesterday.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:14:30 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Marc
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:14:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Marc
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:14:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Hi Marc
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:14:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> 86 with a heat index of 95 here.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:14:48 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Stay cool, cool people. It's been enough to make sweat form in pools out there
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:14:57 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Who else is in TX?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:15:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Central Texas: highs of 97 or 98 through next Monday. Probably that or higher until September.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:15:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> possible tornadoes in New England
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:15:24 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hi Marc
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:15:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> My goofy weather app says, "If you go outside, you will feel like the Nazis at the end of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'."
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:15:35 PM EDT] <bynw> but then again it's almost July and July and August are always the hottest months and very humid. the corn thrives in it. people not so much except those that really like that weather
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:15:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> (I'm in Austin, which I explain as "in but not of Texas")
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:15:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Coastal Virginia so up and down. Would like more down
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:15:47 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> TM are you in Central TX
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:16:04 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, TM! I'm in Hutto
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:16:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I'm sorry.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:16:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> 🙂
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:16:22 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I'm reading all this and remembering why, despite the cost of living, that I live where I do.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:16:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Where is Hutto?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:16:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> We're certainly having a warm spell, but no heat dome where I am.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:16:47 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> East of Round Rock
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:17:08 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Which is NE of Austin
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:17:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Are you in the hill country?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:17:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> 97 here in Salt Lake
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:17:20 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> No, wish I were
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:17:24 PM EDT] <bynw> it got up to 95 with the heat index earlier today
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:17:27 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Which is north of Austin. Hill Country is to the west. Austin is literally the edge.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:17:31 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I just had to look up Hutto, so that is south of Dallas
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:17:55 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes Austin sits sqarely on Balcones Fault.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:18:22 PM EDT] <KK> Gak in Salt Lake!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:18:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> That doesn't sound good. Don't want to sit on anything called a fault
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:18:33 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hill country to the West, coastal planes to the East
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:18:38 PM EDT] <bynw> hmmm looks like our record high for this day was 103 and it set way back in 1934
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:18:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Yeah, it's not pleasant
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:18:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> There's an ancient fault (Cretaceous?). The railroad runs like half a mile east of it. The hills start west of it. Totally different soils. Or rather, soil east, shallow limestone west. You can usually tell by tree height whether you're east or west of the fault.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:19:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> That must have been rough. No air conditionag
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:19:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Whose fault is it?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:19:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> That must have been rough. No air conditioning
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:19:40 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> All honor to William Carrier. (I think that was his first name)
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:19:52 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, in the west side of Austin, they have trouble digging trenches to run lines, etc. It's why there are not basements here.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:20:13 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Praise William Carrier!!!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:20:24 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Absolutely
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:20:26 PM EDT] <bynw> so is that an active fault line?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:20:44 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Bee, there used to be a musical comedy group here called Balcones Fault.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:20:45 PM EDT] <KK> I understand that 2024 was the hottest year on record.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:20:59 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> No, not active at all, knock wood
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:21:03 PM EDT] <The_Bee> was or will be
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:21:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> On track to be, I think.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:21:20 PM EDT] <bynw> it's been about about average so far
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:21:21 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> We are just heating up down here.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:21:23 PM EDT] <bynw> at least here
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:21:29 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> I think that was 2023. 2024 may be trying to outdo it
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:21:47 PM EDT] <KK> Duh, yes, 2023.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:21:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> So I hear
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:22:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Climate change is real.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:22:14 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> St. William of Carrier
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:22:17 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> We've got plenty of water at least, so we're good
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:22:24 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> follows up virtual pool with a chatroom sundae bar
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:22:31 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> That is a blessing Nezz
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:22:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Up in the reservoirs
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:23:03 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <azdesertrose> puts iced tea, lemonade, sekanjabin, and a slushie machine on the tea table.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:23:18 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Love the pool. Staying in water up to my neck. Is that by any chance a swim up sundae bar?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:23:36 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> hastily adapts the sundae bar table
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:23:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Great idea, implimented
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:23:40 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I would love to have a pool but they are too much work.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:23:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> There is now!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:23:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> some places are rationing water, I hear.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:23:46 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <azdesertrose> adjusts the tea table to be a swim-up.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:23:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> No splashing near the sundae table, swimmers
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:24:19 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> We'll just glide up gracefully
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:24:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Nor the tea table. Pool water won't improve your refreshing cold drinks.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:24:23 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I'm putting some HEB Poteet Strawberry ice cream on the table
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:24:42 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Oh, does HEB still do the sopaipilla ice cream?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:24:51 PM EDT] * The_Bee adds vanilla ice cream and maple syrup.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:25:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Someone told me about that and I got envious as heck, but alas no HEB in Florida.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:25:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Sopaipilla ice cream sounds good
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:25:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Dang you people make want dessert
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:25:20 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I don't think so, DR. Haven't seen it. They do Fredericksburg Peach though, later in the year.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:25:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> That sounds yummy too.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:26:04 PM EDT] <KK> What is sopaipilla?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:26:05 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> It's ALL yummy!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:26:07 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I mentioned Tillamook vanilla ice cream and real maple syrup.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:26:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Usecd to love Mexican fried ice cream but the place that made the best closed and no one else does it S WELL
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:26:15 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Don't know HEP
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:26:18 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> For Fourth of July a few years ago, I made a peach cobbler. Yum.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:26:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> DR, do you not worship at the altar of Publix?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:26:27 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopaipilla
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:26:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> TM beat me to the explanation.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:26:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> yumm
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:26:46 PM EDT] <KK> Peach cobbletr with vanilla ice cream sounds divine!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:26:56 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> A little pillow shaped hollow pastry that puffs up in hot oil. You put better & honey inside after you bite off a corner
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:27:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Fried starch always gets my vote. Sugar on top makes it great.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:27:04 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I've been enjoying fresh peaches just as is this summer. But they have a very short window between rock hard and on the edge of moldy
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:27:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Used to love Mexican fried ice cream but the place that made the best closed and no one else does it as well
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:27:10 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is Tillamook really good? Local supermarket has it on sale.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:27:17 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> butter, not better
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:27:18 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I do worship at the altar of Publix, and they do a seasonal apple pie ice cream in the autumn, so it's not like we lack yummy ice creams.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:27:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I just wanted the sopaipilla ice cream, LOL.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:27:26 PM EDT] <KK> S sounds really good!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:27:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I think Tillamook is great. They (and I) started with cheese: good quality. I think they're a co-op, which gets them bonus points from me.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:27:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Someone should make a peach/sopapilla ice cream...
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:27:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Deep-fried starch with fat sauce: nothing better
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:28:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Looks yummy
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:28:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I think Tillamook is great. They (and I) started with cheese: good quality. ~~I think~~ they're a co-op, which gets them bonus points from me.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:28:20 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Alas, if something is bad for me, I'm pretty sure to like it!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:28:37 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Here, Shiral, it's a running chainsaw.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:28:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> HEB is a supermarket in Texas and I think Louisiana and Arkansas, Bee. Local chain.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:28:52 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Family owned
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:29:07 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I bet the sopaipilla ice cream over peach cobbler would be especially delish.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:29:17 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Just barely in LA & AR, and they may have closed the one in LA
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:29:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is sopapilla a brand name or a flavor??
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:29:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Many people worship HEB. They are really good with disaster preparedness, almost up there with Waffle House. I dislike that, in recent years, they've been pushing the house brand more and more.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:29:28 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> It's a pastry
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:29:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Scroll up a bit, Bee. TM linked an explanation of sopaipillas.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:29:42 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> And an ice cream flavor
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:29:43 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Ah, thanks
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:29:45 PM EDT] <bynw> someone once put it that everything one likes or wants to do is either illegal, immoral, or fattening
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:29:57 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Too true.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:30:01 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I've made a sopapille desert with cream cheese filling and apple pie goop. Amazing.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:30:02 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I agree with that, bynw
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:30:25 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That sounds deeelish, stnezz
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:30:29 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> @Nezz, that sounds yummy
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:30:47 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> wants some right now....
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:30:50 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds like something I should seek out.

[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:31:27 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> So what would be a guilty pleasure on a Royal feast table in Gwynedd?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:31:49 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Pastries with rose syrup
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:31:50 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Anything excessively gluttonous, I'd think?

[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:32:04 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> On the savory side of yum, there's a local restaurant here that does spanakopita rolls; phyllo dough and the spinach/feta filling but rolled up and deep fried instead of baked flat.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:32:09 PM EDT] <KK> And with marchpane,
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:32:19 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> *adds apple-sopapille dessert to the sundae bar*
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:32:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> There must be something....Hubert didn't get into the kind of shape he was in just from roast venison....
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:32:42 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Is marchpane almond-based? Imported ingredients sounds plausible.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:32:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I think it's the equivalent of marzipan
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:33:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> It's just a different name for marzipan.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:33:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> sweet and sugary
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:33:46 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> And deadly in the wrong jealous hands.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:33:59 PM EDT] <KK> Indeed.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:34:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Yes, as Marie discovered, poor girl
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:34:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> ??
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:34:19 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> So sorry she didn't make it longer.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:34:22 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I was going to say, after that, I am not touching the stuff
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:34:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> In the King's Service
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:34:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Actually Marchpane was an early form of Marzipan without the egg which was added to make it more pliable
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:34:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> A quick google says that there are differences between the two. One page said that marzipan is often frosted, I think? (I blew thru it)
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:34:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Carys says hi.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:35:01 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I still love marzipan, but I am careful of the moral character of anyone who gives it to me. 😉
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:35:04 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Oh, I thought it was different spellings of the same thing
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:35:09 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Jemler would have known things like that.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:35:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> That's what I thought too.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:35:14 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Pets to Carys
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:35:19 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Good idea, Shiral
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:35:26 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, I think marchpane would be more crumbly than marzipan.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:35:30 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Hi Everyone
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:35:32 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> i will stick with my new world chocolate instead of almonds.

[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:35:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Carys purrs and rubs her face against the hands that pet.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:35:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> The recipe was bound to improve over time
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:35:44 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hi, Jerusha.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:35:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello Jerusha

[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:35:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I love almonds and almond paste
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:36:02 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Yuck
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:36:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Something with marchpane and peaches would be delish...
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:36:12 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Almonds are good!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:36:14 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Or recipes just change as tastes change.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:36:30 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, Jemler would have had something witty and pun-ishy to say.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:36:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:36:40 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Or change because people move and different ingredients are easier to obtain.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:36:43 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Miss Jemler
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:36:44 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Only fresh almonds out of the shell nothing almound flavored
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:36:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And then we would have to lob fish at him
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:37:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Or people use the ingredients they have on hand.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:37:00 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Jerusha i am with you Chocolate all the way
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:37:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Which happened alot
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:37:11 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> lobs goldfish crackers into the air in Jemler's honor
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:37:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Never turned down chocolate in my life
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:37:33 PM EDT] <KK> That's called to cornobble.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:37:37 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> If you like bananas, Dole makes a thing that's banana slices dipped in dark chocolate and frozen.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:37:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> EW, bananas
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:37:57 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Alas, I am an anti-banana hardliner
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:37:59 PM EDT] <KK> Ooooh, I've had those!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:38:00 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> That's why I said, if you like bananas.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:38:02 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Somehow goldfish crackers don't have the same effect as mackeral which was what was usually lobbed at Jemler
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:38:02 PM EDT] <bynw> there is no substitute for chocolate. if chocolate is called for, chocolate it is
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:38:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Although I understand there are people who love them
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:38:33 PM EDT] * bynw loves bananas one of my fav fruits
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:38:33 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I've got some frozen chocolate-dipped cherries in the freezer at the moment. They're seedless cherry halves dipped into white chocolate and then dark chocolate and frozen.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:38:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Sometimes, there is no accounting for love
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:38:45 PM EDT] <KK> Goldfish are easier to clean up than mackerel.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:38:50 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> One of the great insights of life was when I read, "Bad chocolate has as many calories as good chocolate". I interepreted it to not waste my time or money with something I'm not enjoying. I became able to stop reading bad books in the middle, too.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:38:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> True
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:39:05 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Sounds good, Evie
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:39:08 PM EDT] <KK> Evie, those sound delightfully evil!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:39:24 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> They are! My daughter introduced them to me
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:39:26 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm thinking of adding bananas to a peanut-butter, chocolate and maple-syrup recipe I found on-line.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:39:42 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I decided to try them and I nudged Mom to try them for my stepdad, who has the world's worst sweet tooth but also type II diabetes. I figured 100 calories of banana and chocolate might do for his sweet tooth but maybe not spike his blood sugar too badly.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:39:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:39:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Sounds yummy
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:39:47 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> The one form in which I like bananas are the Bananes Flambe my mother used to make. Frying bananas really improves their texture. Drowning them in a buttery/brownsugary/rummy sauce with lots of whipped cream on top improves the rest
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:39:56 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> PB & bananas! Shades of Elvis.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:40:02 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> She had a package of snack goodies delivered to DH as a treat, and one of the snacks was a bag of the chocolate dipped frozen cherries.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:40:07 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Those cherries sound delicious!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:40:50 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> They're from Publix, but I forget the brand. You can probably find them in the frozen dessert section though.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:41:10 PM EDT] <bynw> i find dark chocolate to be too bitter personally
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:41:22 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I love those dark chocolate cordial things (room temp, not frozen), so I have to think that the frozen ones would be yummy too and refreshing in this weather.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:41:32 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Love dark chocolate
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:41:36 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I like semi-sweet chocolate.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:41:37 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Ooh, I'll look next time I go grocery shopping!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:41:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I prefer dark chocolate, but not necessarily the super dark sort. More the semi-sweet sort.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:41:48 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Love chocolate in any color
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:41:50 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I like semi-sweet, too.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:41:57 PM EDT] <KK> It can be <too> dark, and therefore bitter. But most dark chocolate is merely yummy.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:41:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Like the semisweet chips you buy to make Toll House Cookies
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:41:58 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I like bittersweet dark chocolate, but anything stronger than that doesn't work for me.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:42:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> All yum
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:42:13 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Every time I've made chocolate chip cookies or anything else involving chocolate chips, at least a few chips go straight into my mouth rather than the recipe. 😉
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:42:32 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I really like Dove chocolate.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:42:33 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Bad, DR! (me too)
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:42:44 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> That's why you get extra chips
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:42:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I just don't bother with the cookie recipe. I keep a bag of chips in the freezer and just toss about a teaspoonful of chips into my mouth every so often.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:42:57 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I mean, does anyone make chocolate chip anything without nomming a few chips whilst baking? 🤣
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:43:02 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I used to beg some from Mom when she was making anything with the semi-sweet chips
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:43:04 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I made some cherry /quasi sorbet with some cherry juice and simple syrup churned in my ice cream maker. Then added some chopped up chocolate covered almonds. It tasted lovely, but the texture was quite icy
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:43:06 PM EDT] <bynw> i dont buy the semi-sweet chips either. i use milk chocolate ones ... full on sweet
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:43:13 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Or add an extra half package to the recipe
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:43:30 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> DR, I think it's required by LAW to eat a few chocolate chips right from the bag when you do that!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:43:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> *high-fives bynw about the chocolate *
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:43:49 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Some chocolate desserts can be a bit too sweet for my tastes. I prefer semi-sweet over cloyingly sweet.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:44:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I found, too, that the mini chocolate chips give you better chocolate distribution through the cookies.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:44:06 PM EDT] <KK> I agree, DR.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:44:15 PM EDT] <The_Bee> dried cranberries re a good addition to a chocolate recipe.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:44:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I always have a bag of chocolate chips in the refreg
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:44:35 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I have to say, I do like chocolate chip cookies with milk chocolate chips, AND I like chocolate chip cookies with semi-sweet chips
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:44:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Can't beat Lindour chocolate truffles, chocolate inside and out
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:44:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yes. And the orange flavored dried cranberries are great in oatmeal cookies too
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:44:50 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I have some little snack things from Sargento that are sharp cheddar cheese, almonds, and dried cranberries.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:44:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Oh yes, DFK
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:45:15 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I had a cranberry orange muffin from Corner Bakery this moring
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:45:24 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Yum, HM!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:45:29 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I'm getting a certain sense of what's on everyone's mind, today....😉
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:45:30 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Not a friend of cranberries
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:45:33 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, very!!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:45:37 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> I love orange cranberry scones
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:46:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I had a cookbook when I was little (a children's cookbook) that had a punch recipe that was just half orange juice, half cranberry juice.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:46:36 PM EDT] <The_Bee> sounds good. very simple
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:46:48 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> It was.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:47:01 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Ah, me! Now Quanah wants outside. BRB
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:47:14 PM EDT] <KK> Cranberries, good. And now that I know how to make the sauce from scratch, I probably wil nver buy caned cranberry sauce again.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:47:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Cranberries are part of our culture here in Massachusetts.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:47:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> DH makes a fresh cranberry-orange sauce for Thanksgiving that's really good
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:47:59 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I love orange Cranberry for Thanksgiving
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:48:19 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Every Thanksgiving, I insist on cranberry sauce made from scratch. If you can still see the ridges from the can in the solid pink cranberry "Sauce" you are banished from my Thanksgiving feast.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:48:29 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Oh, I didn't get my phone out in time to take video, but I was up at the house on Thursday, and Audaline was on one of the ottomans to put herself in easy reach for pets when Maximus brought a rope toy to play with her. She took one end of it without getting off the ottoman, and tug of war turned into "tow my sister all over the living room." It was hilarious.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:48:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I also always make cranberry orange relish every year.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:49:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Audaline takes her play seriously, clearly!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:49:35 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> @DR that would have qualified for America's Funniest home Videos
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:49:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> (The floor is laminate and the ottomans are on casters, so it just rolled right along.)
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:49:41 PM EDT] <bynw> my wife loves cranberry sause, not the jellied version but she'll eat that if there isn't anything else
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:49:52 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> It's so much better than straight cranberry. But when I was a kid we always had the canned cranberry sauce. I thought the lines were for slicing it.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:50:20 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> It would have, if I'd gotten my phone out before they went to bug Dad (my SIL).
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:50:31 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Making the cranberry orange relish by running the cranberries and the orange through my mom's old food mill was one of my first Thanksgiving jobs
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:50:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Now I use my mixer it doesn't seem the same, but the texture is the same
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:51:13 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Maximus isn't six months old yet and outweighs Audi by five pounds already. (Audi will be three years old next month.)
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:51:26 PM EDT] <KK> I'll eat canned cranberry sauce, but prefer fresh-made. But stuffing requires cranberry of whatever ilk.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:52:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I haven't tried cranberries IN the stuffing.... interesting.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:52:21 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, must have stuffing, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes & cranberry sauce with the turkey
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:52:36 PM EDT] <KK> No, not in; with.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:52:48 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> The ideal post thanksgiving sandwich: turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and gravy. Yummm

[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:53:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Okay. Yes, Thanksgiving isn't complete without the cranberries
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:53:16 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> DF, yes! Mom always made the gravy with the gibblets.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:53:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Cranberry stuffing? I grew up on peanut stuffing and sage stuffing for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:53:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Nice pictures, DR
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:54:02 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Thanks, Jerusha!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:54:02 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Sage stuffing is best.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:54:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Cornbread dressing all the way, here.

[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:54:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hm....we seem to have gone flying by Fourth of July and straight to Thanksgiving....
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:54:42 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> LOL
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:54:49 PM EDT] <KK> Peanut stuffing? as in, peanuts IN the stuffing?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:54:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> But Apple pie and Fourth of July always go together, for me
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:55:02 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Mom made stuffing with cornbread and some very dry toast, onions, sage, etc
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:55:07 PM EDT] <bynw> apple pie goes with anything
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:55:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I am with you Shiral.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:55:13 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> What Bynw said.

[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:55:24 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> True bynw
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:55:26 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Yes . I think it was a family recipe.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:55:33 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I'm not a huge fan of apple pie
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:55:37 PM EDT] * bynw likes apple pie and apple crisp and apple cobbler
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:55:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> me too
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:55:55 PM EDT] <KK> All of the above.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:55:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> My mother gave me her apple pie recipe which is in her cook book. Since I grew up eating it, it is the definitive version of apple pie, for me
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:56:00 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> My biological father had many faults, but his favorite meal was steak, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, a salad, and apple pie a la mode for dessert, and I cannot fault his tastes there.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:56:07 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I like peach cobbler and blackberry cobbler
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:56:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The sine qua non of apple pie is dotting the filling with butter before you put on the top crust and bake it.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:56:31 PM EDT] <bynw> apple crisp has long been my favorite desert and usually request it instead of a birthday cake every year (for decades)
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:56:32 PM EDT] <KK> Cobbler is good with whatever gruit.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:56:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> HM, BOTH are very good. I like berry cobbler, too
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:56:38 PM EDT] <KK> fruit, too.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:57:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Gruit sounds like something you'd say with a strong highland accent
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:57:23 PM EDT] <bynw> LOL
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:57:24 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> HEB has Karoline Sweet blackberries right now. I've eaten about 8 little containers of them over the last month.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:57:27 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Gruit is an actual beverage. Beer brewed with different herbs than hops, I think.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:57:36 PM EDT] <KK> Rolling that R would be the challenge.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:57:42 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I am Gruit.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:57:48 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Fruit cobbler is always a winner, especially this time of year with all the fresh fruit
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:57:49 PM EDT] <bynw> ROFL
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:57:55 PM EDT] <KK> Is it really, Evie?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:57:57 PM EDT] <The_Bee> When we were having a favorite dessert, Mom used to say we were having "poison" for dessert.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:57:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> HM that is what I was thinking
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:58:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It sure is, KK
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:58:13 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> There was a little hamburger place near my college campus. They had fresh blackberry milkshakes I still get fits of craving for.

[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:58:42 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The hardest part of the peach cobbler I made was peeling and slicing the peaches. It's really pretty easy to make; just peeling and slicing the peaches was a pain in the neck and messy to boot.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:58:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I am Gruit
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:59:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It's a medieval beverage. They probably drink it in the Eleven Kingdoms
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:59:18 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Gruit the Ale Wife...
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [7:59:30 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Although, I think they spell it Groot.

[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:02:36 PM EDT] <The_Bee> For us it was cheery cobbler and hard sauce.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:02:40 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> love a private joke
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:02:52 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> What flavor is Cheery?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:03:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> a yuckky flavor
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:03:05 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I think all cobblers must be cheery
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:03:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> cherry. OOPS
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:03:10 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> The one that makes you happy
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:03:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> The kind that pinches your cheeks, if the name indicates anything
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:03:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> It's better than Gloomy Flavor, that's for sure
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:03:31 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Nope don't eat anything cheery or almound
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:03:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Chocolate or nothing
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:04:18 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Well, your loss, Laurna. But that leaves more cherry cobbler for the rest of us!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:04:26 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm not that fond of cherries, but I loved cherry cobbler.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:04:27 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Never heard of chocolate cobbler. Not sure that would work
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:04:29 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> all yours
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:04:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Chocolate chip pie with icecream on top
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:04:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> I'll try any of these at least once
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:04:59 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> When Sears used to have an actual cafeteria, there was a little old man who made the BEST peach cobbler in the world.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:05:02 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> It might not, but I'd give it a try
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:05:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Oh how the mighty fall
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:05:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I thought cobblers were usually fruit.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:05:33 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Somebody should test it, just to see if chocolate cobbler is possible.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:05:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I thought cobblers made shoes.... 😉
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:05:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> lol
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:06:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Does "cobbler" mean something cobbled together?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:06:30 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> We used to make it with a cup of fruit, a cup of self rising flour and a cup of sugar with a touch of vanilla at home
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:06:32 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Yup
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:06:37 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> that sounds right
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:06:49 PM EDT] <KK> I think that chocolate instead of fruit would be an odd kind of chocolate cream pie.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:06:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Not sure of the origins of "cobbler," but "dump cake" is pretty much all dumped into the dish and baked.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:07:08 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Though you dump the ingredients in a particular order.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:07:11 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Oh, a cup of milk, too
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:07:29 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Flour on the bottom
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:07:49 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, cobbler is pretty easy to make, as long as you don't have to slice up the fruit.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:07:56 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I'm gaining weight just looking at this list
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:08:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> agreed

[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:08:19 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> We had to buy extra fruit because we would eat some
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:08:22 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> The advantage of cherries, you don't have to cut them up
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:08:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Years ago I read a story in the New Yorker about a woman who drove around the country in search of regional specialties in pie making. At the very end of the article, she got a ticket in New Mexico, but asked the traffic cop if he knew a local place with good pie. "Sorry Ma'am, you're in Cobblier Country, now." was his response
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:08:43 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Have any of you heard of a recipe made with cake mix and a pint (or quart?) of ice cream?

[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:10:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> At least in a virtual sense. But don't discount all of our various cravings for pie and cobbler that have been dangerously awakened....
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:10:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> except that it made me go get real icecream out of the freezer

[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:14:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Yes
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:14:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Especially chocolate chip
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:14:57 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> While the chips are still soft
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:15:03 PM EDT] <KK> Snickerdoodles are also excellent hot.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:15:11 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Love those too.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:15:13 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I had tacos with onion and cilantro and hot sauce, with a side of pinto beans for dinner. Someone gave me the cooked taco meat.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:15:25 PM EDT] <KK> And with a glas of milk or a cup of tea.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:15:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Dang, there goes another five virtual pounds...
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:15:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:15:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Had beer can chicken, baked potatoe and cauliflower
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:16:00 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Beer can chicken is excellent!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:16:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Snickerdoodles are yum!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:16:24 PM EDT] <chris> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/6hzMHOlD/1719188181.JPG
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:16:27 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I was at a party last month, and the hostess provided these fantastic little tacos. They were so good, I had to go get seconds. Fortunately, they were little
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:16:33 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I've been having to eat stuff high in iron and take iron pills
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:16:40 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> jelou
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:16:41 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I remember giving my recipe to a British friend who had recently bought a spice grinder and could thus grind the cinnamon fresh.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:16:47 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> jelous
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:16:52 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> That sounds good, Shiral
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:16:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Yum, sugar cookies!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:17:20 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I've gotten spoiled about cinnamon--Vietnamese cinnamon is the best I've ever tasted. Now nothing else will do
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:17:25 PM EDT] <bynw> fresh out of the oven there
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:17:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Small pan or large cookies, Bynw
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:17:34 PM EDT] <bynw> small pan
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:17:48 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Still good!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:17:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I wish I hD A MEAT-GRINDER LIKE mOM'S NO ELECTRICITY, JUST PUT THEMEAT IN AND TURN THE HANDLE.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:18:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> DARN THAT cAP LOCK
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:18:23 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Where do you get Vietnamese cinnamon?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:18:26 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> We had a sausage grinder like that when I was little & there was fresh pork. Daddy had a recipe.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:18:47 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I'm lucky enough to live near a Penzey's, DFK. But I think you can order it from them online
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:19:14 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Or on Amazon, probably
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:19:17 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Or from King Arthur Baking Company. Darn them. They keep making me want to bake
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:19:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Bynw, if you're baking with the heat index as it is, you must REALLY want those cookies!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:19:51 PM EDT] <bynw> i haven't seen one of those meat grinders in a long long time
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:19:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Vietnam, of course
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:20:00 PM EDT] <bynw> i've got AC at home
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:20:21 PM EDT] <bynw> its 70 degrees inside
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:20:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Ah. That simplifies it.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:20:22 PM EDT] <The_Bee> How is Vietnamese cinnamon different from ordinary cinnamon?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:20:30 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I think there's an attachment for a KitchenAid mixer that will grind meat.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:20:31 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Yes, bynw. It was about 65 years ago.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:20:52 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> The other ones aren't from Vietnam.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:20:55 PM EDT] <bynw> hmmmm that was a yummy cookie
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:21:02 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It's a more intense flavor, I think
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:21:12 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> It's less harsh on the pallet for me, Bee. I can't really describe it, but it gives great flavor without ever being harsh
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:21:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> A lot of "cinnamon" sold in the US is actually a similar spice but not exactly the same as true cinnamon, IIRC.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:21:49 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Yes, I think that also contributes to it, Evie
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:23:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I learned an important lesson today
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:23:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> : Don't wear a maxi skirt when riding an electric bike. My skirt was completely wrapped around the pedal.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:23:23 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> oops
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:23:24 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, dear.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:23:48 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> NOT fun!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:23:51 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> OK, bloomer.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:23:54 PM EDT] <KK> Did it damage the skirt, or dump you on the ground?
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:24:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The instruction for the bike ahad a warning about that. Siily me! I ignored it.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:24:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> ooch
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:25:00 PM EDT] <The_Bee> neither. i dismounted n unwrapped it. dirt stain of the garment
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:25:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> on, not of
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:25:27 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Hopefully it will wash out
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:25:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> probably
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:26:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> I'm Going to have to go now. Have to do an errand for DD1 . Hope everyone has a good week. Will try to work on Wash and Fiona this week. Nite all
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:26:16 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I thought about getting a scooter or electric bike when it was only 7 miles to work.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:26:25 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> good night DFK have a nice week
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:26:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> See you!
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:26:29 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Have a good week, DFK
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:26:31 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Nighters, DFK
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:26:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Night, DFK
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:26:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I may or may not be here next week. That's the day DD and her fiance will be arriving, though it will depend on what time they get into town.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:27:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'd just bought the trike, and the battery died. Turned out rain water had gotten in. I"m trying to dry it out now.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:27:17 PM EDT] <KK> I think I'll go too. Daphne is getting increaaingly annoying by meatloafing between screen and keyboard.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:27:18 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> You'll be glad to have them back, I think
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:27:38 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Dmitri likes to do that at Zoom meetings, KK
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:27:47 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Luke used to meatloaf directly across both my wrists
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:27:55 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Whenever they come, give them our best wishes, Evie.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:27:56 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Thanks for popping by and having a virtual feast with us!

[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:28:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Stay cool as possible
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:28:17 PM EDT] <KK> Zoom or chat, makes no difference to Daphne.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:28:28 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Dmitri just likes to show off
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:28:30 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And I have a story I should get back to. Or for that matter, dinner I probably ought to cook.
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:28:34 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Everyone please send prayers and good thoughts that my anemia is gone so I can have Knee surgery on the 9th
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:28:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Good night and good week to all! Glad you came
[Sunday, June 23, 2024] [8:28:38 PM EDT] <KK> And I'm going to hunt up a Klondike bar!

"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
