[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:15:40 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hip replacement, the right one. The left one was done in April '23.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:15:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> KK?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:15:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi KK

[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:16:08 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Remember the Harrowing of Gwynedd. The harrowing of America amy be about to start so TM is getting prepared./

[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:16:12 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Hi KK
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:16:15 PM EST] <bynw> Hi KK
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:16:28 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Like, because Mom chose her hairstylist when she was still working on the other side of the city, so it takes her about an hour to drive there from the house.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:16:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I don't want to go far into politics, buit I think medical notes are farther from the line.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:16:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Dudes! Seriously!
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:17:24 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I edited out some political points. Like I cheered for knee replacements, I encourage all recommended and plausible vaccinations.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:17:31 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> @DerynifanK, trust me, I'm aware. I still need to draw the line under political or political-adjacent discussion in this space. I fear that the subject is apt to get heated enough that we'll see some fractures in the "be excellent to each other" rules.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:17:39 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I edited out some political points. Like I cheered for knee replacements, which we have discussed at length, I encourage all recommended and plausible vaccinations.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:17:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> No chance of getting a sthlist to come to her. I have read that some do that. I also read bout a mobile barber.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:18:09 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I don't want to go far into politics, -- I am trying to focus on medical notes, which I think are farther from the line.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:18:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> My mother, KK. She's the bionic Mom now, with two titanium hip joints and a replaced fuse in her sinoatrial node (cardiac pacemaker).
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:18:14 PM EST] <KK>
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:18:32 PM EST] <KK> Ah.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:18:37 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Fuse? Good Lord, circuit breakers are far more practical.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:18:44 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> No chance of getting a stylist to come to her. I have read that some do that. I also read bout a mobile barber.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:19:00 PM EST] <KK> Pacemakers use fuses?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:19:04 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> No chance of getting a stylist to come to her? I have read that some do that. I also read bout a mobile barber.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:19:10 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I'm making a pun.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:19:43 PM EST] <The_Bee> And eshall pun-ish you
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:19:50 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Wait, I *thought* I was making a pun on a fused joint or vertebra, but it really was a fuse in a pacemaker!
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:19:54 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Nope they use batteries. You do have to go in periodically to get your batteries changes
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:20:11 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Wait, I *thought* I was making a pun on a fused joint or vertebra, but it really was a fuse in a pacemaker! So much for reading too fast.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:20:19 PM EST] <KK> Yeah, I knew about changing batteries.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:20:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Changing a fuse surprised me, but what do I know?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:21:02 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> My grandfather had a pacemaker, and had it checked twice a year. It had 5 years to go at the last check but it outlived him. I didn't realize that some wear out faster than others, which makes sense given their usage.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:21:31 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> No, not literal fuses.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:21:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> That has to do with the joke I've been making at Mom since she had to have the pacemaker placed.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:22:31 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Oh! Darn you!
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:22:36 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Because the problem for which she needed it was that her sinoatrial node was not properly conducting the electrical impulses from her CNS to her heart to get it to beat, I tell her she blew a fuse.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:22:40 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> You scamp!
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:22:50 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> "Don't blow a fuse Mom, we can't afford the hospital bill."
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:22:52 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Sorry, I had to step afk to put my supper in the oven.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:23:05 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Well, they have good insurance.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:23:24 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Those defective fuses can really screw things up
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:23:28 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> What do you mean, you have to put a penny in your mother?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:24:32 PM EST] <KK> Anybody else remember when, in the UK, you had to put coins in a slot in B&B rooms to turn on the heat for a set amount of time?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:24:50 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Wasn't there also money for the electrical meter?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:24:50 PM EST] <The_Bee> I plead ignorance.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:25:05 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> I read about it but never experienced it
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:25:12 PM EST] <KK> Yep, electric and heat.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:25:18 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Paying for heat by the hour... fascinatingn concept
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:25:26 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Paying for heat by the hour... fascinating concept
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:25:47 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Her blood vessels, according to her cardiologist, are in excellent shape for a woman my age, never mind hers; she just had an electrical failure, but yay modern medicine, a little device implanted in her left shoulder and she's good to go. Fifteen years since the initial device, two years since the replacement, and her doctors think she'll see 90 easily (their lips to God's ears).
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:25:51 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Hey maybe we could send them some of our excess pennies that we keep making but don't know what to do with
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:26:05 PM EST] <KK> That was 1970, and they were just coming out of post-war rationing.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:26:23 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Wow, it took that long?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:27:06 PM EST] <KK> We in the US, have no idea how the war affected everyday life in the UK.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:27:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> But they started their National Health Srvice right ater the war, 1948 I think and we still haven't managed to get one
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:27:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> But they started their National Health Service right after the war, 1948 I think and we still haven't managed to get one
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:28:24 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Having had the US Health System fail me repeatedly, I don't have anything positive to add here.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:29:07 PM EST] <KK> Going through some of my mother's things, I found some ration books and coupons from here in the US.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:29:12 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Revanne had nothing but good things to say about the NHS when she was dealing with her DH's illness
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:29:38 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> My understanding is that the UK had not just war damage, but also balance of payments troubles, so there were controls on foreign currency. Which made for shortages in the UK.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:30:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Since they kept Hitler at bay, we should have been paying them instead of it other way round
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:31:16 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Marshall Plan loans, Lend-Lease, there was lots of aid.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:31:22 PM EST] <KK> Yeah, they were no longer on rationing in 1970, which is thee first time I went over there, but many things were still in short supply.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:31:31 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Which "they"? The Brits?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:32:04 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Who is "they" addressed to, DFK?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:32:17 PM EST] <KK> But they couldn't have kept Hitler at bay without our help, so it worked both ways.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:32:17 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Who is "they" addressed to -- is it to DFK?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:32:35 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Hands across the oceans ... hands across the skies.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:32:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Our beautiful Brit cuzzins. 🙂
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:33:04 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Things go better wwhen everyone works together.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:33:14 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Things go better when everyone works together.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:33:16 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Sorry, I misremembered the lyrics.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:33:17 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Hands across the water, water
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:33:18 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Heads across the sky
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:33:52 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I had another look and I had a cup of tea and a butter pie
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:34:10 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Butter pie?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:34:15 PM EST] <KK> A butter pie?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:34:23 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:34:27 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> That's the lyric
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:34:41 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Just ask Pauly
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:34:53 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Is there really such a thing as butter pie?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:34:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Or Macca, as they call him nowadays
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:35:00 PM EST] <KK> Not familiar with that song.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:35:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> We have peanut butter pie here
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:35:14 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Buttermilk pie is a thing in the US, specifically southern US.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:35:27 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Paul McCartney's song "Uncle Albert"
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:35:48 PM EST] <KK> OK, Beatles. Not my thing.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:36:02 PM EST] <The_Bee> You can put almost anything in a pie shell.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:36:11 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Buttermilk pie, in my opinion, is a heavenly lemony sweet dessert -- but not too much of either, not a lemon wrapped around a brick-of-sugar
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:36:35 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> @Bee true but some things are much better in a pie shell thatn others
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:36:39 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> A good buttermilk pie made by a real southern woman is... *chef's kiss*
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:36:58 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> So much truth, Nezz.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:37:11 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Even an inexperienced cook like me can do a fine buttermilk pie.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:37:46 PM EST] <The_Bee> Different tastes for different people
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:38:01 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> My late mother's lemon ANYTHING was divine.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:38:09 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> A woman from Tennesee in my old church congregation make a buttermilk pie every year for the girls camp auction: those pies usually went for $100-200.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:38:11 PM EST] <KK> I like buttermilk pie.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:38:20 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> @The_Bee I'll take your slice, then?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:38:30 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> As it should!
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:39:41 PM EST] <The_Bee> @th-9039 I'll tade buttermilk for chocolate.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:39:47 PM EST] <The_Bee> trade
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:40:06 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Oh man... a chocolate silk pie! talk about decadent.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:40:19 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Yummm
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:40:44 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Speaking of decadent, I'm making a new recipe i found in a book. Vanilla Honey Fudge
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:40:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> sounds YUM
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:41:01 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Ooooh. That sounds good
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:41:09 PM EST] <KK> Sounds yummy.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:41:25 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> One of the most interesting (good) desserts I ever made was basically brownies that baked in its own chocolate fudge sauce. So when it came out, hot brownie + hot fudge. Hit like a chocolate brick, but at my age, I loved it.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:41:51 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Vanilla Honey Fudge? I don't suppose it's online?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:41:54 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Sounds wicked good TM
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:42:09 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Sounds like a chocolate lava cake
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:42:35 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I guess?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:42:37 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've volunteered to provide coffee hour food at church in two weeks. I've started one dish that will keep in the freezer.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:43:13 PM EST] <The_Bee> I hope
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:43:15 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> What kind of food do they want for coffee hour?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:43:17 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> It likely is, I'll look real quick and see if I cana find it. Ironically, it was written by a Brit.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:43:20 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Ah, I can find lots of Vanilla Honey Fudge recipes online.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:44:29 PM EST] <The_Bee> Provider decides. so far it's a chocolate, peanut butter and maple syrup dish; I'm planning to add banana slices.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:44:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Sounds yummy
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:44:54 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> ohhhhhhhh my
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:45:03 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> I'd love that, peronsonally.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:45:15 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> I'd love that, personally.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:45:27 PM EST] <The_Bee> There's a website where you can enter a list of ingredients, and you'll get a list of recipes that use them.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:45:51 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Can't beat a chocolate peanut butter combo. Just ask Reewe
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:46:06 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Can't beat a chocolate peanut butter combo. Just ask Reeses
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:46:18 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> I used to try one of those, had "fridge" in the name but it wasn't helpful for me at the time when I had zero recipe skills. lol
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:46:21 PM EST] <bynw> reeses are the best
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:46:53 PM EST] <KK> Love the Reeses with dark choolate.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:46:58 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> old reeses were the best, but I'm pretty sure they've changed the recipe recently
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:47:05 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Most heard phrase this year for Halloween activities, "I gave you life, you give me your reese's. That's the deal."
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:47:15 PM EST] <The_Bee> The on-line recipe used a double boiler; I use my microwave.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:47:17 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Love Reeses with any chocolate
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:47:32 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> I'm inclined to agree. Folks keep messing things up by trying to make them "better."
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:48:11 PM EST] <KK> Yes, sometimes better is the enemy of good.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:48:24 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Here, Here!
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:48:56 PM EST] <bynw> it's like remakes of anything (songs, movies, tv shows) something should just be left alone unless they are actually improvements on the original
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:49:20 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Improvement is arbitrary, in the least, anyway.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:49:36 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> There are a few mottoes in my life. "Don't be a jerk," "mind your own business," and "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" being high on the list of most frequently used.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:49:46 PM EST] <The_Bee> "There's no wrong way to eat a Reeses" was a challenge to "Do you know how to eat an Oreo." IMHO
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:50:21 PM EST] <bynw> i generally eat oreos and reeses the same way ... just pop it in whole
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:50:46 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I'm not a fan of Reese's but those dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Oglethorpe were 😋 🤤
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:51:03 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> I've seen so many kids argue endlessly over how to correctly eat sandwich style cookies and oh my goodness... it gets HEATED.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:51:19 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> (Basically, I think that Reese's chocolate and peanut butter could do with an ingredient quality upgrade. Yes, I'm a chocolate and peanut butter snob.)
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:51:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> I am so very, VERY glad I spent too much money in that shop.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:51:44 PM EST] <The_Bee> I used to unscrew an Oreo, put lal the filling on one cookie, eat the plain cookie first, then the frosted cookie.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:51:45 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I told Mom she missed out by not coming over for her peanut butter cup.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:52:10 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I kept it for a while and then was like, well, she can get her butt over here and eat it or I will. :p
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:52:10 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> We will just have to plan another trip. I'm game.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:52:28 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Me too, and the kids got married in Savannah for a reason. It's a lovely city.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:52:38 PM EST] <bynw> i did it that way for a while Bee and also just lick the creamy center out and eat the cookies plain. now it's just popped in and gone
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:52:42 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Honestly, I like this style alot.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:53:00 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I unscrew an Oreo, scrape the creme off with my teeth, then eat the cookies.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:53:16 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> (I eat the filling first, basically.)
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:53:41 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> I dip my oreaos in milk and pop the whole thing in. Yumm
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:53:47 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> This what I last saw my six year old do. Her counterpart, my five year old, was angry about it and then more angry when she ate all the cream from hers and didnt get more.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:54:00 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> I dip my oreos in milk and pop the whole thing in. Yumm
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:54:01 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I like them that way, @DerynifanK, but I don't often have milk handy.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:54:08 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I unscrew the Oreo, unscrew another one, each the plain cookie, and put the other parts together. And I do this whether it's a regular Oreo, Double-stuff, or Mega-stuff.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:54:11 PM EST] <The_Bee> "'cause a kid'll eat the middle of an Oreo first..."
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:54:17 PM EST] <bynw> well that just wasn't nice Sarah of her to eat the cream out of her sister's oreos
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:54:26 PM EST] <bynw> that can lead to fights
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:54:41 PM EST] <bynw> lol nezz
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:54:59 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Ha, funny. No, Tater eats all the cream from her own stash of cookies and is angry when I regulate her intake.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:55:05 PM EST] <bynw> i don't buy regular any more. always at least double stuff
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:55:05 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> bynw, gotta go for the best cookie:cream ratio
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:55:11 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I have yet to try the Mega-Stuf ones, but I loved the Big Stuf ones they had in the late '80s.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:55:38 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The only reason I get anything less than Double Stuf is if I'm using them to make pie- or cheesecake-crust.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:55:45 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> How I eat an Oreo: https://imgur.com/gallery/giant-grouper-eats-shark-uNnsnZt
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:55:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> Now I just nibble any cookie.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:56:30 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I have, somewhere, a chocolate cheesecake recipe that uses the fudge-filled Oreos for the crust.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:57:03 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> My kids get store bought cookies more than I'd like to admit, due to my impatience in making homemade cookies these days.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:57:19 PM EST] <bynw> then there are snickerdoodles ... those are the best cookie if done right
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:57:25 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> I cannot partake as often as I'd like, due to severe preservative allergies that randomly strike.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:57:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> My neighbors will take my homemade sinkerdoodles as a bribe.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:57:46 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Cookies are fairly easy as baking goes, but unless you have a big oven, you have to keep swapping out batches of baked and incipiently baked cookies.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:57:51 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Often referred to as crack in cookie form
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:57:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> My neighbors will take my homemade snickerdoodles as a bribe.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:58:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> What goes into a snickerdoodle?
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:58:47 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> It's basically a very buttery sugar cookie that you roll in cinnamon sugar before baking.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:59:10 PM EST] <The_Bee> sounds good
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:59:11 PM EST] <KK> Exactly. And should be soft.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:59:21 PM EST] <bynw> and then there is just plain cookie dough that is tasty which is what usually happens if i make or buy cookie dough. it rarely gets baked
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:59:25 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I think it's the cream of tartar that gives the snickerdoodle a distinctive taste
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:59:26 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> They are delicious.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:59:43 PM EST] <bynw> they are my favorite cookie (snickerdoodles)
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [7:59:48 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I actually kept cream of tartar in my kitchen specifically for baking snickerdoodles.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:00:09 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> snickerdoodles are worth keeping cream of tartar around for
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:00:17 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Yes ma'am they are!
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:00:19 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> I keep it for an egg substitute but ALWAYS for cookies.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:00:33 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Speaking of which, I should probably get a new jar.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:00:49 PM EST] <The_Bee> My favorite nostalgia cookies were my Grandma's molasses cookies.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:00:50 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> When I was in my old apartment and used to host game nights, they were a frequent request for game snacks.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:01:40 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Mmmmmm, molassas cookies...
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:01:48 PM EST] <bynw> those are good too
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:01:58 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> and soft ginger cookies
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:02:15 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Mom and I were discussing chocolate chip cookies and the utter superiority of miniature chocolate chips for best, most thorough distribution of chocolate into cookie.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:02:17 PM EST] <bynw> i have my late wife's recipe for those that was her great grandmother's originally
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:03:20 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> And I defy anyone not a professional baker to make chocolate chip cookies without at least a few pinches of chips going into the baker, not the mixing bowl. 😄
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:03:51 PM EST] <bynw> that's part of the recipe for those DR
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:03:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> 🤣 🤣
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:04:08 PM EST] <KK> I gotta go on the hunt for a cookie, any cookie, in my depleted kitchen. Also, my knee needs straightening, as it's starting to cramp. See you guys net week.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:04:08 PM EST] <bynw> a great chef always tastes everything
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:04:31 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Okay, thanks for coming to see us, KK! See you next week! Have a good week.
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:04:33 PM EST] <bynw> thanks for coming KK. have a good week. and find a cookie!
[Sunday, November 10, 2024] [8:04:38 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Have a great week KK, and enjoy yourself a cookie!
