I had never seen show 1 and missed many of season 12... netflix has tons of them
1:49 am

no i mean jill, not dee lol
1:50 am

ooohhh, jilli, do i detect a note of sarcasm??
1:50 am

I went back and started at the beginning.
1:50 am
cosdem

netflix has amazing stories. too bad its not captioned for streaming yet :.. lately ive been watching a lot of the waltons and little house on hallmark.. they are really good!
1:52 am
jillibus

who, me, granny??? ;-)
1:52 am
VolleymomDee

I have seen many shows on netflix that are captioned... not sure how they decide which ones to do that
1:52 am
cosdem

although they are not consistent. the two spinster sisters talk about their father taking them to see charlie chaplin movies when they weere little.. but doiing the math.. they would actually be 30 and not little.
1:52 am
VolleymomDee

that is what I did yesterday, book... started from the beginning
1:52 am
grannyrose

yes, you, jilli. * fixes a stern eye on jilli*
1:52 am
VolleymomDee

smart you caught that
1:52 am
cosdem

dee -- federal law in effect 9/30 says everything online must be captioned. we'll see if they accomply
1:53 am
VolleymomDee

I appreciate that very much, especially the deafer I become... the music is super loud, but then I can't hear the talking.... love them to be titled
1:55 am
cosdem

i am not holding my breath though. netflix is currently in a lawsuit about captions :\
1:55 am
cosdem

netflix argues they do not meet the americans with disabilites act requirements cause they are online only. a court ruled they are. netflix is appealing now
1:56 am
cosdem

ridiculous since its very very cheap to install captions
1:57 am
VolleymomDee

netflix has done several questionable things the last year or so... unethical in my opinion... wondered if they have changed upper management - I used to love them... now just tolerate them
1:57 am
cosdem

yeah i was boycotting them til a few weeks ago when we decided it was cheaper for us to get rid of cable and use netflix/hulu
1:57 am
cosdem

8.00 a month as opposed to 80.00 a month :P
1:57 am
grannyrose

rofl, i just said to Don, the ranunculi you bought me a week ago look a li6 worse for wear, we'll have to throw them out.he said, i should have bought you the plastic ones, they last longer.
1:58 am
jillibus

my son did that some time ago, cos
1:58 am
cosdem

and all the 4 big networks always show their episodes online and all 4 have captions online so.. why bother paying for cable?
1:59 am
VolleymomDee

totally agree, cos; cable prices are nuts. I have never used hulu... not familiar with them
1:59 am
grannyrose

we don't have cable TV at all. we both refuse to pay their exorbitant prices.
1:59 am
VolleymomDee

LOL rose

9:36 am
crosshair

9:37 am
Anniebrook

Good for you. Are you losing loads of weight?
9:37 am

Here is the breakfast buffet: everything and anything you could desire! Enjoy!
9:41 am

that would be my fave, scrabs, breakfast is the meal I like best
9:42 am

can you imagine a babble meet-up with a breakfast buffet set up all day?
9:42 am
crosshair

lol une,i love where they placed the minecraft world in that site
9:43 am
Anniebrook

thanks, scrabbs...everything is yummy
9:44 am
crosshair

it is not that hard ruby,on your 500 cal day you know that in less than half a day or so you can eat whatever you want again but it easily cuts my monthly food intake by almost 50%
9:44 am
rubyfoo

I would imagine that each 500-cal day shrinks your capacity a little
9:45 am
crosshair

and it keeps the body out of starvation mode and the metabolism up
9:45 am
rubyfoo

I find I'm less hungry if I skip a meal and have basically stopped eating dinner
9:45 am
crosshair

and you would be surprised what you can make with 500 calories
9:45 am
crosshair

well,ruby,you need to gain weight,not lose it
9:46 am
rubyfoo

weight is pretty stable since I gained the kilo
9:46 am

12:31 pm

I'm good, stiddy. Busy morning. Went to breakfast, then Lowes, then back home. Put a coat of stripper on the hoosier I am refurbishing. I'd say I earned myself some Babble time.
12:32 pm
stidmama

yep. lots more productive than my morning -- but in my defence, I am also now sleep-depped about four nights in a row. Will actually take a nap today.
12:32 pm
MollyL

Ooo, you have a hoosier. How old is it?
12:35 pm
Judi

I'm not sure, Molly. I'd place it around the 40's. It's made of pine. I'm stripping all the old paint off - former/original owner was a smoker. It absolutely reeked of cig smoke. So far, I'm only working on the top portion. The porcelain top is pristine, however. :-))
12:35 pm
stidmama

what's a hoosier? a table?
12:36 pm
Judi

Original color was ivory.
12:39 pm
Judi

Google "Hoosier", Stid. You will see all manner of examples. Mine is fairly low-end.
12:42 pm
MollyL

Sounds nice Judi. I'm sure it's going to look great when you are done.
12:42 pm
Judi

I will post a pic of it when I'm done. It'll be quite a while. It's a weekend project. I hope to have it done by Christmas.
12:43 pm

Let's hope the road to Hoosier Hell is not paved with good intentions.

when I updated to iOS 5, both my phone and iPad freaked out. They replaced the phone since it was still under warranty, but I have an antique iPad and we had to restore and start from scratch. So, I'm afraid to update to 6.

Hello
12:53 pm

I"m pretty lax about updating the software. It's recommended that you do it once a week. I'm lucky if I get to do it once a month. The longer you wait, the more problems you have. I've learned that.
12:56 pm
Buggie

Hmmm, how do you add the flag after your name?

2:19 pm
cosdem

2:19 pm
cosdem

OUAT like 3 or 4.. all technical
2:20 pm
MollyL

I like Connie Britton, I hope she gets an award. I didn't watch American Horror Story though.
2:21 pm
cosdem

just checked: once is up for: costume, makeup and special visual effects.
2:21 pm
carleekat

is castle up for anything?
2:21 pm
cosdem

of the actresses on amercan horror - jessice lange deserves it the most. she was amazing.
2:21 pm
MollyL

No. Castle is a good show, but not exactly Emmy material.
2:22 pm
cosdem

no.. castle got none. was up for 3 last year though. lost all 3.
2:22 pm
carleekat

its the only "show" i watch... no time otherwise to get into a series...

I'd like to see Aaron Paul win for Breaking Bad. But not Bryan Cranston. I can't stand him.
2:24 pm

betty white is up again this year
2:24 pm
MollyL

I'm very surprised at all the Downton Abbey nominations. I love the show, but don't think it's Emmy worthy.
2:25 pm
MollyL

Go Betty! We love Betty. : )
2:25 pm
cosdem

it won last year. but last year it was up for best miniseries. this year its up for best drama. tougher category
2:25 pm
carleekat

yay....my gryphons tied it up!
2:26 pm
cosdem

interesting. none of the drama shows nominated for best drama is on network tv. they're all on cable.
2:27 pm
MollyL

There is a typo in the list I'm looking at.
"Broadwalk Empire" : D
2:27 pm
cosdem

lol..well broads do hang out on the boardwalk :P
2:27 pm
carleekat

has justified been nominated?...i have been watching that on netflix
2:28 pm
cosdem

Nope.
2:33 pm
MollyL

I'm not surprised that all the drama series nominated are on cable. Network drama shows are mostly fluff. Here and there a good performance, but the writing is sub-standard.
2:33 pm
cosdem

not like the 1990s and 2000s. did u see the west wing reunion?
2:34 pm
MollyL

That was a political ad, right?
2:34 pm
carleekat

i cant get past all the language in cable tv... there is no need....if I wanted to hear that language I would go to a sports bar... i dont want it in my house
2:34 pm
cosdem

yes. 4 minutes of new material. the entire cast except for leo, abby and toby.
2:35 pm
carleekat

when they take out all the swearing... i will start to watch
2:35 pm
MollyL

It must have cost the candidate a fortune, Cos.
2:35 pm
cosdem

the candidate's sister played kate harper on the show.
2:36 pm
cosdem

so they did her a favor
2:37 pm
MollyL

Oh of course, McCormack should have clued me in.
2:38 pm
cosdem

was cute though.
2:40 pm
MollyL

It was. They all look the same except Brad Whitford. He has aged in a strange way. His face looks different. I almost thought it wasn't him.
2:40 pm
cosdem

my friend said "bradley whitford has not aged well" and then i said "janel maloney has not aged at all"
2:41 pm
MollyL

Janel Maloney has NOT aged at all. It's amazing.
2:42 pm

W-S posts a lot of their recipes online, and their cookbooks are some of the most reliable recipe-wise. Cooks Illustrated is also very well tested and reliable, but you have to subscribe.
3:59 pm

I'm not a good enough cook to make my own sauces or soups.I need very simple recipes that I'm able to follow.

Not bad Nef. Enjoying the weekend.
7:56 pm
Nef

Hi Min. Are you having a good day too?

Minveryork

Goodbye HarryHood! I will see you tomorrow in the log.
8:03 pm
Minveryork

I am watching the movie "Couple's Retreat". Would love to go on retreat by myself. Last time I went to a tropical place was over ten years ago when I went to Hawaii.
8:04 pm
bichon

hint for the wa 7 pls
8:04 pm
MollyL

Ah, a retreat by one's self sounds like a great idea Min. Everyone needs a little "me" time.
8:05 pm
Minveryork

wa 7/44 word adds cross letter near the end of a wa6.
8:05 pm
Nef

Well, Min, isn't there somewhere nearby you could go without your hubby that's not too pricey for a weekend or so?
8:05 pm
Minveryork

Wishful thinking. I got NO MONEY to go away by myself
8:06 pm
Nef

even to visit your parents?
8:06 pm
MollyL

wa7...battles + a turt** carries his shell on his back
8:06 pm
Minveryork

Babbling is my "me" time.Can do that everyday for free.
8:07 pm
MollyL

*Imagines Min, stealing away to a tropical paradise and taking the laptop with her so she can have it whenever she wants*
8:07 pm
bichon

ty for the wa 7 Molly and Min
8:07 pm
Nef

BUT; that isn't away from your hubby
8:07 pm
bichon

Molly, what did you think of "Revolution?"
8:08 pm
Minveryork

I love my parents,but whenever I see them it is a million questions about how I am doing w/finances.They're so worried about me and all they do is ask me questions. I know they ask out of concern and love but it's tiresome
8:08 pm
MollyL

I like it so far Bich. We'll see if the story keeps me wanting more.
8:08 pm
MollyL

What did you think?
8:08 pm
Nef

Ahhh. So they are anxious about you?
8:09 pm
Nef

(I think parents are like that.... ;-)
8:09 pm
bichon

I wasn't really taken by it. I read a review which describled it for fans who were disappointed that "Terra Nova" was canceled
8:09 pm
MollyL

That's an accurate description. It's a similar concept.
8:10 pm
bichon

Thought the characters were bland
8:11 pm
Minveryork

Yes, that is putting it mildly.My mom is coming for a visit in October and I'm not looking forward to it,but it will be nice to see her though. Just hope hubby is on his best behavior.He doesn't like parents very well & vice versa
8:11 pm
MollyL

I miss Jack Bauer.
8:11 pm
bichon

I miss "Lost" as well. Something that really grabs you.
8:12 pm
MollyL

Oh I'm still going through LOST withdrawal. What a show.
8:12 pm
Minveryork

Oh my goodness!Just started to down pour big time.My cable went out. I hope I do not lose the internet as well.
8:12 pm
bichon

Waiting to see what "Last Resort" will be like. I did like Giancarl Esposito though
8:12 pm
Nef

Min, make friends with your Mom. Things may improve that way.
8:13 pm
MollyL

Min, it's hard for parents not to worry about their kids. Especially when their kids are in difficult situations.
8:14 pm
Nef

very true. Your folks might help you out of your tough situation too.
8:14 pm
Minveryork

I have no problems with my parents. It's my hubby that does.He's lthe black sheep in my family which makes it really hard on me since I am stuck in the middle of them.
8:14 pm
bichon

There comes a time when parents need to step back and not be instrusive
8:14 pm
Nef

(esp. if hubby isn't on his best behavior)
8:14 pm
MollyL

Bich, did you catch that Charlie's Mom is Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet from LOST)
8:15 pm
bichon

Yes, and Elisabeth Mitchell was in "V" too. But they killed her off before the first commercial
8:16 pm
MollyL

Nah, she's not dead. Didn't you catch the Dad's comment about how she had "wandered off". She will be in upcoming episodes. I'm wondering if the militia guys have her.
8:16 pm
Nef

I have the feeling that Min has been pushing her parents away? I may be wrong of course....
8:17 pm
MollyL

Nef, I have the feeling that Min's husband is the root of the problem, not Min.
8:17 pm
Nef

yep. That's what I mean Molly.
8:18 pm
bichon

But parents shouldn't be intervening in a child's marriage, unless a child asks for help
8:18 pm
Minveryork

Parents have already helped me more than they should have which is why it is hard to be with husband. They have helped financially when husband was out of job.
8:18 pm
Nef

and that's why I say Min should make friends with her Mom.
8:19 pm
Nef

Min is unhappy; ask for help
8:19 pm
bichon

That might not be the best answer Min. It makes you dependent on your parents at a time when you and your husband should be dealing with your problems
8:19 pm
Minveryork

Since they have helped me out financially, they feel like they have the right to know about everything in my life.
8:20 pm
Nef

I doubt if her husband Wants to deal with their problems
8:20 pm
MollyL

It's hard to feel financially dependent on your parents when you are an adult.
8:21 pm
bichon

that's bad Min
8:21 pm
Nef

Something I've learned working with poor clients is that emotional abuse is just as harmful as verbal and physical abuse overtime
8:22 pm
MollyL

Emotional abuse is not just a problem of the poor.
8:22 pm
Nef

BUT I'm just an armchair referee on the opposite end of an internet connection.... So...
8:23 pm
Minveryork

My parents say they'd do anything to help out their kids even if it means upsetting them.I totally understand that
8:23 pm
Nef

I know, Molly! I just had never recognised it before I worked with so many women in bad relationships! I didn't recognise it even in my own daughter!
8:24 pm
MollyL

It probably makes them sad to see you unhappy, Min. Even if they don't go about showing it the right way.
8:24 pm
Nef

agreed
8:25 pm
bichon

Min have you considered couples counseling, or personal counseling as a way of dealing with the issues. Getting money from your parents is making you beholden to their ideas about your marriage
8:25 pm
MollyL

Nef, what is really sad is emotionally abused women often turn that around and are emotionally abusive with their kids and friends.
8:25 pm
bichon

Min, do you have children?
8:26 pm
Nef

she doesn't bichon
8:26 pm
Minveryork

My parents & my husband would never ever ask me to choose between them, but I would choose my parents over my husband in a heartbeat! They are there for me no matter what! I feel bad for them for worring so much
8:26 pm
bichon

That's good. Having children in this situation would make it worse
8:27 pm
bichon

Min, you have to think about yourself first and formost. You need to make an independent move for your well being not your parents.
8:27 pm
Minveryork

Nope, no kids thank goodness.I already told hubby I did not want to have children with him.That's another story
8:28 pm
bichon

Have you considered separations Min?
8:28 pm
MollyL

I agree with Bich, Min. You deserve a happy life.
8:29 pm
Minveryork

Although my parents do not like hubby,they'd never tell me to leave him. They have said several time that they cannot tell me what to do. I am glad they recognize that.
8:29 pm
Nef

I agree. In all of your stories, you are so unhappy lately and you dream of not having him around.
8:30 pm
stidmama

hey all (((Min))) you are a strong woman, and I know you will be able to keep yourself safe and make appropriate decisions. There are many resources out there, and I would be happy to help you explore them outside of chog, something I did as a job once a very long time ago.
8:30 pm
bichon

Min, have you thought about separation as a way to get yourself out of this situation?
8:31 pm
Nef

hi stid. I think chog is the wrong place to give advice too; but I worry about someone I've known online for a long time
8:33 pm
Minveryork

Met w/a lawyer for a consult in Spring. He said I could not do anythng until I decded what to do with the house
8:34 pm
stidmama

Yes, Nef, and expressions of concern are wonderful -- but there are many factors not being considered that make these sorts of situations very tricky to give advice. Min knows what she needs -- she is a competent and mature adult and will do what is appropriate.
8:34 pm
Minveryork

Hello stidmama! How are you? Thanks for your advise.I need to figure this one out on my own though. Thanks!
8:36 pm
MollyL

Nef, there is nothing wrong with you expressing your concern for an on line friend.
8:36 pm
Minveryork

I can't sell the house without it being a short sale.I don't want a short sale. Neither does my husband. I am stuck
8:36 pm
MollyL

I have every confidence in you Min.
8:36 pm
Nef

I promise to keep praying and sending thoughts that you find the answer, Min; no more picking on you. :-0
8:37 pm
Minveryork

I'm hoping that the housing market will improve in a few years and maybe I can do something about house then.
8:37 pm
MollyL

Nef, I didn't think your comments were "picking on" Min. You were just expressing your concern.
8:38 pm
Nef

I know, Molly. those were MY words; (and my own daughter's statement too when she was in a bad relationship
8:38 pm
Minveryork

Anyway, thanks for all of your concerns.Lets move on to something more positive. Who would like to get FWs with me? I have been saving the last word since 2:00.
8:39 pm
stidmama

down to 15 here min, pretty much stuck unless there is a list somewhere...
8:39 pm
Nef

8:40 pm
Minveryork

8:40 pm

8:41 pm
Nef

8:42 pm

8:55 pm
Minveryork

Not sure if I'm going to be able to stay up until then,tired.
8:56 pm
Minveryork

Oh maybe some bubbly champagne would wake me up
8:56 pm
stidmama

cos -- do you want to you run the fancy sound-light systems? As loud as you like, pick a tune with a good dance beat...
8:56 pm
stidmama

oh min! champagne would NEVER wake me up....
8:57 pm
cosdem

was supposed to go out sigh
8:57 pm
cosdem

yes techno music!
8:57 pm
Minveryork

Was just kidding. I do not even like champagne or wine.
8:57 pm
Nef

me either, Min. You drink it if it wakes you up, though.
8:57 pm
stidmama

no out, cos? *sad mama look*
8:58 pm
cosdem

friend seems to have backed out. i guess final destination 5 on cable and babbling til flip
8:58 pm
Nef

LOL! I have to tell you about a CD in my car that my kids think is hilarious. I made it and the kids tell me its and techno/ ravew music.
8:58 pm
Minveryork

I've been told that I need to lighten up and have a drink.
8:59 pm
cosdem

nef made a techno mix? sweet!
9:00 pm
cosdem

min if someone says that. just drinka glass of water, smile at them then walk away
9:00 pm
Nef

I just liked the music; how's an "old lady" supposed to know what some of this stuff is?
9:00 pm
stidmama

that's funny, Nef... I had a kid in class Friday asking me if I know {fill in multiple blanks} musical artist/group... and I had NO clue!
9:00 pm
Minveryork

I wish I did like to drink alcohol. I never acquired a taste for it. Drinks of choice are diet coke & flavored iced tea
9:00 pm
cosdem

if u like it then hey!
9:01 pm
Nef

Min; if you don't like it; don't begin now
9:01 pm
stidmama

Min, alcohol is not a good thing to like... if you "need" it to relax there are many better ways.
9:01 pm
stidmama

I like chamomile-peppermint tea for relaxing.
9:01 pm
cosdem

yes. alcohol is not the answer to anything. the only reason im going out or was.. is my friend said shed pay. im not wasting my money on that stuff :P
9:02 pm
Nef

cos; I have over 8 gigs of music on my iTunes. Iwish I knew how to put some on my Blackberry tablet though...
9:02 pm
cosdem

i have absolutely no idea how to store music or stuff lol.
9:03 pm
cosdem

ive never downloaded a song.. well i did once last year to annoy ryan. it was a christmas song in october and i turned it all the way up lol
9:03 pm
stidmama

I do actually like some alcohol types, not many though.
9:03 pm
stidmama

LOL cos!
9:03 pm
stidmama

Cos, can you hear music at all? other than a beat?
9:04 pm
cosdem

9:04 pm
cosdem

thats why i prefer places with techno
9:05 pm
stidmama

makes sense. :-)
9:05 pm
stidmama

*carefully puts a monster subwoofer under cos' chair*
9:05 pm

I drink alcohol once a year at Christmas. I have a small glass of Baily's on the rocks.Once a year is not too bad
9:05 pm
cosdem

I have some tea called "Positive Energy" made by the Yogi company. I love that stuff!
9:06 pm
stidmama

I know - sometimes in IMAX theaters where they have the really good sound systems the booming through the seats makes my bottom numb....
9:06 pm
cosdem

did you see the video of the pig rescuing the duck? my first thought was why is the person videotaping it instead of helping the duck?
9:06 pm
stidmama

hey aeb, Min put Molly's list in her profile
9:06 pm
Minveryork

I do like mud slides too, but I only drink that once a year.
9:07 pm

Kahlua and milk is a sombrero and kahlua, milk & vodka is a mudslide. You HAVE TO try it stidmama. Very good!
9:10 pm
stidmama

I read about that, too, cos -- stupid pissant guy! He endangered that tiger and its keepers. Poor cat, he was just being what he was supposed to be.

apparently original Kahlua would be safe for me to drink, I might try it at some point
9:12 pm
Minveryork

All of this mudlside talk is making me crave 1 right now.
9:12 pm
cosdem

kahula pre-made mudsldies are a rip off.. 8.00 for 4 little tiny bottles that is enough for 2 chugs each
9:13 pm
stidmama

okay, let's talk something else -- cookie dough. I ADORE raw sugar cookie dough...
9:13 pm
rururocks

GAG
9:13 pm

9:13 pm
Nef

9:15 pm
rururocks

last time I drank Kalua I woke up without my clothes on
9:16 pm
stidmama

home made kahlua would be coffee, cane sugar and caramel
9:16 pm
stidmama

a good reason to not drink kahlua, I think ruru -- it's chilly here!
9:17 pm
Nef

okay, cos; here it is
9:17 pm
rururocks

9:18 pm
carleekat

9:19 pm
stidmama

9:19 pm
cosdem

9:19 pm

9:21 pm
Nef

heat sugar and syrup together in saucepan; stir constantly. Dissolve coffee in hot water and add to syrup mixture and simmer until sugar is melted. Stir constantly! Take off heat; add vodka and vanilla. Put in bottles and let age for 2 weeks
9:21 pm
carleekat

it was soo cold t the lake....north wind... cloudy... rainy... and 150 trees
9:21 pm
cosdem

sounds not complicated.. copy and pasting it. will make for theholidays
9:22 pm
stidmama

Nef, I would like to give credit to the person who gave you the recipe -- if you are okay giving her name?
9:22 pm
carleekat

somehow I dont think my homemade shine will work in place of the vadka
9:22 pm
stidmama

I would need to buy vodka...
9:22 pm
carleekat

vodka*
9:23 pm
Nef

The big thing is to stir constantly. This great aunt gave this (and a bunch of other recipes) to us for our wedding; she's been gone for about 35 years now
9:24 pm
Nef

Stid, her name was Mary Jo Keenan
9:24 pm
cosdem

New York City police say they plan to arrest a man mauled by a tiger at the Bronx Zoo. An NYPD spokesman says 25-year-old David Villalobos told investigators that he deliberately leaped into a zoo exhibit because he wanted to "be one with the tiger." Police say the man, now hospitalized in stable condition, will be charged with trespassing.

Coffee with baileys,that is another one I will have to try

I believe that man already paid the price for trespassing
9:29 pm
cosdem

i got a cookbook for christmas in 2011 from a cousin i only met once and it had all our family recipes in it!
9:29 pm
carleekat

9:29 pm

I never met Mary Jo. She lived across the country and had poor health by the time we got married....
9:31 pm

I had a couple cousins/aunts/uncles I never met, either. Always wished I had, but the few times I was in their area something always seemed to get in the way.
9:31 pm
Minveryork

I made my own cookbook of recipes. Printed out alot of recipes on internet and put them in plastic sheets and I put them all into a three ring binder.Still add recipes to it.
9:31 pm
stidmama

I do that, too, Min! GMTA
9:32 pm
cosdem

thats the cookbook i got.. paper in plastic sheets in a binder with a homemade cover,and tons of photos in it :) old family phots including a copy of a pic ofm y grandma i always wanted to have
9:32 pm
carleekat

my family is so small we can all sit at a normal sized dining room table.... I am one of 3 cousins... on mum's side...no cousins on dads
9:32 pm
Nef

that's what we have too for the family recipes, Min. The funny thing is when you read some of the old recipes where it says to use lard or something like that
9:32 pm
cosdem

LOL yes.. all the desserts says to use lard
9:33 pm
Minveryork

I made a homemade cover for my book as well cosdem.
9:33 pm
Nef

oh, cos! That sounds wonderful! Putting the photos in there is really cool
9:33 pm

lard is readily available....
9:33 pm
stidmama

I had one cousin on my father's side (first cousin) but she died many years ago of pancreatitis. I have four cousins on Mother's side, and four second cousins from Granny's sister's sons who are about my age, but I haven't met all of them.
9:33 pm
cosdem

yeah but i dont remember to buy lard when i go to the store :)
9:34 pm
stidmama

I made lard this year... took a whole day and learned a lot. Will make more next time I can get the fat.
9:34 pm
carleekat

i cant use it... i get far too sick
9:34 pm
stidmama

Now I have to find a recipe that uses it because the consistency is different from shortening.
9:34 pm
cosdem

funny story...
9:34 pm
stidmama

*waits for giggle*
9:35 pm
carleekat

22 left...still no list...
9:35 pm
Minveryork

I have never made anything w/lard in it. I have also not seen any recipes that has lard as an ingredient.I do not think I would make anything with lard as an ingredient.
9:35 pm
Nef

how about when they say something about boiling chickens and frying chickens? Or $1.00 worth of beef; how about ox tail?
9:35 pm
cosdem

theres a recipe my gram made i always loved. but couldnt find it so i improvised. made my own.. then later got the cook book and guess what??
9:35 pm
cosdem

the recipe i made up was identical
9:35 pm
Nef

stid, do you make pies?
9:35 pm
carleekat

lard is often in pie crust....
9:36 pm
carleekat

pastry... i cant eat it though :(
9:36 pm
carleekat

is good for frying chicken too....great fat for frying
9:36 pm
stidmama

Tom does, I am not sure if the lovely crusts he makes with wheat-free flour will work with lard though
9:37 pm
carleekat

if the lard is cold from fridge...should work stiddy
9:37 pm
stidmama

I will use the lard to make tamales next weekend. :-) It will be wonderful for the dough. Since I use pork for the filling, it will be a good match, too.
9:38 pm
stidmama

cos, you are a GENIUS in the kitchen!
9:38 pm
Nef

DH's family have recipes for "dark Klub" (pronouned "Kloob") and "white Klub" and the dark Klub is blood sausage that they made themselves and then fried in milk; while the white Klub is a piece of bacon inside potato dumplings (Big dumplings)
9:38 pm
stidmama

thanks carlee :-)
9:39 pm
stidmama

oh, those sound like something my Nana (who grew up in Prussia) would have enjoyed.
9:39 pm
carleekat

i used to make my pie crust with lard...but key is always chilled...use ice water...and barely handle with hands at all....use pastry cutter or knives
9:39 pm
Nef

they were Swedish
9:40 pm
stidmama

Okay -- it's in the freezer now, carlee. I knew it would keep better there.
9:40 pm
stidmama

does it bother your gall bladder carlee? I have a friend who doesn't eat much that is baked anymore because of gall bladder issues
9:40 pm
carleekat

that might be a bit too cold to work with... put into fridge overnight before you want to try working with it....
9:41 pm
stidmama

okay. I will! thanks. I LOVE having friends who know "stuff"
9:41 pm
stidmama

how many trees did you plant today, anyway?
9:41 pm
Nef

most high fat foods would irritate a touchy gall bladder
9:41 pm
carleekat

no..i had to have a bowel resection about 10 years ago...lost 2 feet of large intestine..ever since..no pork anything...my system says "ship it out" and the pain until i do....is worse than any borthing experience i ever had..not worth the pain
9:42 pm
carleekat

we did 150 stiddy... pines, oaks and white birch
9:42 pm
carleekat

birthing*
9:42 pm
Nef

if it ends up being more than you can use or want; don't forget that you can use lard to make suet
9:43 pm
carleekat

its like IBS but primarily pork product..i can do small amounts of highly process pork...but why would you want to
9:43 pm
Nef

where did you plant all those trees, carlee?
9:44 pm
stidmama

so sorry to hear that, carlee -- sounds like what happens when I eat wheat
9:44 pm
carleekat

oh..local park... we have a huge city park that runs along the lake....big beach... near the beach but not on the beach....
9:44 pm
stidmama

and that's a LOT of trees! *awed mama look* well done carlee! I bet the girls were chuffed.
9:45 pm

Well, if you ever come visit, we'll have to go over our lists -- we might have to default to chicken and tofu everything (are you okay with soy?)
9:47 pm
Nef

how's your back doing, carlee? That sounds like a lot of digging!
9:48 pm
carleekat

i've never enjoyed it....fish and chicken is good...
9:48 pm
carleekat

back is fine... :)
9:48 pm
stidmama

carlee, do you ever do debating with the troop? A teacher who had an online presentation uses a site called wrangl.com to help the kids learn how to plan a counter-argument. It looks pretty useful for teaching that skill.
9:49 pm
stidmama

okay, we'll talk about it when you come visit. :-)
9:49 pm
carleekat

we have had toastmasters in...
9:49 pm

oh, I am tired, I read "toadmasters"
9:50 pm

the thing with pathfinders at this age..THEY pick their program... their interests... if they BIG on outdoors and camping and hiking ( because that what the girls into that year)..that what we do... if they into moives and sleepovers...that what we do...and if its crafts...that what we do
9:50 pm

LOL! Good one stid

9:52 pm

well, I am wondering if I should leave the sock on Lucky's foot overnight -- he ripped one toenail entirely off (I am sure it's off, took the nailbed with it), so trying to keep it clean and dry for a couple days. I think I might leave it since it's not bothering him.
9:52 pm

if not bothering..go for it

I can't afford a vet bill again so soon, unless there is something really wrong... *sigh* and then I would have to ask Mother for a loan.

I remember, carlee -- we're not at that point, but certainly not making headway on the credit cards yet. I was so hopeful that a year after my degree we would have a little extra and start paying things down and setting a little aside...
9:54 pm
cosdem

she doesnt sign so itd be pointless is my excuse
9:54 pm
stidmama

With gasoline and other commodities so expensive right now anything extra I might have provided just covers the inflation and the student loans I incurred.
9:55 pm
stidmama

Sounds reasonable to me, cos -- you'd have to be "there" if you were there, and it wouldn't be productive on your part.
9:55 pm

ugh...and my former boss ..( the lawyer) said to me.. " I think YOU SHOULD TAKE THE LSAT exam"....good god....could you imagine..3 MORe years of school

9:57 pm

we pay 60.00 a week gas to just get to and from ryan's store.. only.
9:57 pm

true, but not all lawyering is courtroom-based. There are research lawyers, and lawyers who write briefs and opinions and help ordinary folk interpret laws as well.
9:57 pm
carleekat

i am paying 100.00 a week min for school
9:58 pm

Yep, sounds familiar carlee.
9:58 pm
stidmama

LOL I know how that feels, carlee!
9:58 pm

yep. they used gelatin specifically from pork, so it was safe.
10:03 pm

10:03 pm

cos, you would be great as a lawyer, methinks
10:03 pm

10:03 pm
carleekat

i have to get halal marshmallows
10:04 pm

generally, I can't trust gelatin or lard because the USDA allows cow products to be used. So...
10:04 pm

hehehe...so funny... i cant do pepperoni on pizza...pork... I cant do most hot dogs...prok ( at sporting events)...

I am not skinny either!
10:06 pm
stidmama

oh Min -- that's just so rough
10:06 pm
Nef

maple syrup has lard in it? I thought that real maple syrup was just that
10:07 pm
carleekat

the boil point of the sap almost boils over.. when reducing the sap to syrup they plop a lump of lard in to keep from boiling over
10:07 pm
stidmama

okay -- eating ALL of the remaining marshmallows was not smart... need a big drink of water to flush out the sugar (but it was so much fun to be "bad" tonight)
10:07 pm
Nef

how far are you driving Min?
10:07 pm
carleekat

they use it so it doesnt boil over when comes to the rolling boil
10:08 pm
stidmama

that's why I don't eat jams from other peoples' homes, carlee -- they put butter or margarine in to keep it from foaming, and I can't do that. My jam I just stir faster *sits in PB again*
10:08 pm
carleekat

i found that out taking my daughter to the sugar bush one year for a project
10:08 pm

according to the net, most modern producers are using a synthetic substance of some sort, carlee -- I might have to research this more to be sure.
10:10 pm

i just use a BIG pot...and skim...
10:10 pm

thats odd!
10:10 pm

the stuff that foams....sits in a dish and doesnt get jarred....use it first

10:11 pm

wow Nef. I wondered why my eyes were watering... LOL

kosher would if I ever saw or could afford it...i just buy artificial...
10:13 pm

I made raspberry jelly this year, MIL doesn't like the seeds but likes the flavor. It's okay, but not as flavorful as the whole jam.
10:14 pm
carleekat

oh... i make seedless jam...amazing....i use a sieve and scrape out the seeds...takes about an hour of seiving ...getting all pulp but no seeds
10:14 pm
carleekat

10:14 pm

10:19 pm
stidmama

But where we live driving an hour isn't really all that unusual. Just a lot of gasoline
10:19 pm

10:24 pm

I agree Min -- my limit is one hour for a "normal" commute. There was a job I think I would have been offered if I had applied, but it was out two hours away on the coast. I would have needed to rent a place to teach there.

10:25 pm
stidmama

and my famous plum jam, which I love, and end up giving most of it away
10:25 pm
Nef

what are dilly beans carlee?
10:26 pm
carleekat

our tree fruit crop was killed off in the spring....we had 3 weeks of HIGH heat..then a freeze..no apples..peaches, plums cheeries pears
10:26 pm
Minveryork

Last year was a light winter so the commute was easy
10:26 pm
stidmama

my brain is mush
10:26 pm
carleekat

stuff your jar with green beans... add dill and garlic..and pickle like you would a cucumber for dill pickles..but do green beans
10:27 pm
stidmama

yep. I hate years like that. We had a couple of them in a row, and I was so sad. This year I have an abundance of nearly everything -- for the first time in 13 years.
10:27 pm
stidmama

That sounds nice carlee, never had those.
10:27 pm
carleekat

they are nice on a holiday table..a bit different...
10:27 pm
stidmama

I should plant dill in my yard. I have an amazing fennel that drew about a thousand bees an hour a month ago.
10:28 pm
stidmama

I even have so many volunteer mystery squash that I will ask Tom to take them by the food bank... We've never had enough to give away to family and the food bank before!
10:28 pm
Nef

oh! We have what we call "End of the Garden" veggies. We put carrots, green beans, broccoli, --whatever and use a dill pickling recipe too
10:29 pm
carleekat

i had fried green tomatoes tonight for dinner..yummm... i have to get grits and goats cheese tomorrow so i can do them proper for dinner tomorrow
10:30 pm
stidmama

I hope my tomatoes will turn red. I got a sauce tomato this year that should have been done by now, but NONE of them are ripening yet!
10:30 pm
Nef

that sounds good, carlee
10:30 pm
carleekat

they are nef...
10:30 pm
carleekat

try picking and put in a brown bag stiddy
10:30 pm
stidmama

yes, does sound good -- I could make polenta for supper tomorrow...
10:31 pm
Nef

I got tomatoes with all sorts of different maturity times, from 60 to over 100 days. They all came in at the same time
10:31 pm
carleekat

anyway... is after 11...going to try watching some saturday night live..now tht they are spoofing the election is fun...
10:32 pm
stidmama

Or on the windowsill, it's not really cold yet, but probably by the end of the next week I should put them inside
10:32 pm
stidmama

(((carlee))) sweet dreams have a great day tomorrow!
10:32 pm
carleekat

green tomato relish...
10:32 pm
stidmama

wow Nef -- strange year -- do you think it was the heat?
10:32 pm
carleekat

you too hun{{{hugs}} night night all
10:32 pm
stidmama

I know our summer started so very slowly, that the figs and tomatoes and melons are all about a month behind.
10:33 pm
Nef

another trick to ripen tomatoes is to put them near apples and bananas (or in a paper bag with them). The gas givien off by the apples helps ripen the tomatoes
10:33 pm
Minveryork

Goodbye carleekat! I will see you tomorrow in the chog.
10:33 pm
stidmama

hm. green tomato chutney...
10:33 pm
Nef

definitely the heat, stid.
10:33 pm
stidmama

I also have apples from our tree... :-)
10:33 pm
Nef

Niters carlee!
10:34 pm
Nef

there you go, stid!
10:34 pm
stidmama

IF it stays relatively sunny, though, I might get my actual second crop of figs for the first time -- they are getting pretty big on the tree.
10:34 pm
Minveryork

We grew tomatoes for the this year. They were yummy
10:34 pm
stidmama

Nothing quite as nice as home-grown tomatoes, I think
10:35 pm
Nef

totally agree, stid!
10:35 pm
stidmama

except home-grown carrots, beans, fresh off the tree peaches... *drool*
10:35 pm
Minveryork

I meant to write we grew tomatoes for the 1st time this year. Actually it was my husband who grew tomatoes.
10:36 pm
stidmama

Oh! Nef *proud mama look* I was afraid I would have to take out the last peach tree because although it was not bothered much by the "peach leaf curl" this year it was leaning WAY over. So we have gradually been pulling it up and back to vertical, and with a couple very small pruning cuts it is beautifully symmetrical again and we can walk under it on the path.
10:37 pm
stidmama

So I feel a little less like a failed orchardist.
10:37 pm
stidmama

Now I have to transplant two of my Asian pear trees to a sunnier location where they can be better protected from the deer.
10:37 pm
stidmama

And then wait for the leaves to fall to prune the rest of the fruit trees.
10:38 pm
Nef

Good for you, stid!
10:38 pm
Nef

I'm starting to fade now...
10:40 pm
stidmama

yes, I am too -- I should get to bed soon. I really hope I can sleep through tonight. I have awakened (or been awakened) between one and two for three nights in a row and can never get fully back to sleep when that happend.
10:40 pm
stidmama

or happens.
10:40 pm
stidmama

*sigh*
10:41 pm
Nef

10:41 pm

10:42 pm
Nef

niters stid. Sleep welll
10:42 pm

10:42 pm
