3:51 am

3:51 am

3:52 am
herinfernallady

On the plus side my friend lent me a bunch of movies. Now I am watching The Mummy, drinking a cup of instant coffee and eating TV snacks.
3:52 am
zoozzoom

LOL yeah I hear you, Sprite about, Rose..lol
3:52 am
herinfernallady

I have 2 friends that has helped me. I have to redo the essay because it was a big wall of text and as one of the critics said 'stop talking shit'
3:52 am
sprite

oh nice, lady! You sure know how to comfort yourself. A good movie, coffee, tv snacks and babble. And us. Can't get much better.
3:53 am
zoozzoom

Nothing like being honest then.
3:53 am

*grins* we know our rose, don't we, zooz... :D
3:54 am
zoozzoom

what squirrel I mean, Rose..Yes we do, Sprite :-)
3:54 am
herinfernallady

I asked for honest. It wasn't a personal reflection on me or my work. TV Sacks are made by Arnotts and are little chocolate biscuits. One can be a right little piggy with them
3:54 am

hahahahaha zooz! :D
3:54 am

4:01 am
zoozzoom

they have pizza, barbeque,cheese & bacon.
4:02 am
zoozzoom

Everything here is expensive..lol
4:02 am
sprite

we have to be careful too. Always on the lookout for the discounts. Good thing the various supermarket chains always have a price war going on.
4:04 am
zoozzoom

Same here, Sprite. I never pay full price for things.i love looking around and getting the best price I can.
4:04 am
herinfernallady

As it is the long weekend we have a little bit of a splash on the old junk food
4:04 am

4:05 am

Well with all the studying going on, Herin, It is nice to treat yourself :-)
4:05 am

well himself is home so we kind of just slack off.
4:05 am

pigging out occasionally is awesome. I think it is required for staying sane.
4:06 am

4:11 am
zoozzoom

Could do a bolognese?
4:12 am
sprite

hm, good idea. Simple and tasty. Thanks zooz.
4:12 am
zoozzoom

Don,t forget the garlic bread :-)
4:13 am
sprite

hehehe indeed! Hm let's see if I can make that myself.
4:13 am

4:13 am
herinfernallady

The only thing we don't do on Good Friday is red meat. Not the no meat all together. Salmon is a little of our expense list
4:14 am
zoozzoom

It is very rare I eat red meat. I tend to go for white meat these days.
4:16 am
sprite

same here
4:16 am
herinfernallady

Himself shouldn't eat too much red meat so we don't
4:17 am
sprite

ah, lots of recipes for garlic bread
4:20 am
sprite

I can make it from scratch or start with a baguette.
4:21 am
zoozzoom

Yeah there are many ways i suppose to do garlic bread. I think the best way is just to melt butter add very fine chopped garlic into butter.leave for a few hours to infuse..then use small butter brush to spread onto sliced bread rolls baguette and then grill til slightly golden.
4:21 am
herinfernallady

I find that I use a mix of soft butter and a teaspoon of garlic mushed together with a fork. Slab on bread, wrap in foil and cook in oven for about 10 mn
4:21 am
zoozzoom

Another great way to do it, Herin :-)
4:22 am
herinfernallady

I know that one teaspoon of crushed garlic is a clove
4:23 am
zoozzoom

Does make your breath a bit smelly but the flavour is wonderful and it goes so well with the bolognese!
4:23 am
sprite

I think I will take this one: to make cuts into a baguette, not all the way through. Finechop garlic and some parsley, a bit of citrus peel and salt and pepper, mix, put in the cuts. A bit of butter on top in each cut. Wrap in foil, in the oven for 10 mins, remove foil, oven for another 5-10 mins until golden.
4:24 am
herinfernallady

That is why eating garlic is a household affair then everyone is stinky
4:24 am
herinfernallady

That sounds good sprite.
4:24 am
sprite

I don't mind the smell of garlic.
4:24 am
zoozzoom

Although for me if I am having a bolognese i must have parmesan cheese freshly grated on top.
4:24 am
sprite

me tooo me toooo!
4:25 am
zoozzoom

That sounds perfect, Sprite.Sounds like you are going to have a wonderful meal tonight!
4:25 am
sprite

well not freshly grated, tbh, that is way too expensive. But a sack of pregrated parmesan, yeah.
4:26 am
zoozzoom

No for me it has to be freshy grated.the packet stuff you buy here in the UK smells like sick..Sorry to be so graphic but it really does.
4:26 am
herinfernallady

I eat too much Parmesan to get the wedges.
4:26 am
sprite

ah awful. No, what we have here is nice enough.
4:26 am
herinfernallady

Zoom do you mean the dehydrated stuff?
4:27 am
zoozzoom

Yeah the dehydrated crap, Herin..lol
4:27 am
sprite

that is what we use here, the powder form
4:27 am
zoozzoom

Eww no sprite :-(
4:28 am
herinfernallady

We buy the fresh stuff grated. From aldi really cheap
4:28 am
sprite

so sorry, zooz, yes. The other kind is wayyyy expensive, you can only get it at special cheese stores where you buy a wedge and ask them to grate it for you.
4:28 am
zoozzoom

The one here in the packet is so fine like powder and really stinks so bad..nothing like the fresh at all.
4:29 am
zoozzoom

The one you get, Sprite, Might be different from the one here.
4:29 am
sprite

yeah, ours definitely does not stink like sick, lol. It smells gooood.
4:29 am
herinfernallady

Sprite what about the cheese section at the supermarket
4:30 am
sprite

only the powder form, lady
4:30 am
herinfernallady

So none of the finely grated stuff in a packet?? I don't know if I could live without it
4:31 am
sprite

we have that, but not in parmesan, lady. Just in the dutch cheeses and swiss cheese.
4:31 am
herinfernallady

Sprite also how old are the kids now?

4:54 am

oh, gosh, sprite * collapsing in a heap of giggles*
4:54 am
zoozzoom

I could easily come back with some puns..but alas they are too rude for babble chat..lol
4:54 am
rururocks

Wiener coffee would be popular in sf
4:55 am
sprite

hehehe therein lies the art, zooz... to keep from being too rude and still walk the edge.
4:55 am
sprite

how is that, ru?
4:56 am
zoozzoom

not mastered that yet, Sprite..still learning from Ruru..lol
4:56 am
rururocks

Um...a lot of gay men in sf sprite
4:56 am

lol we all do, zooz. Ru is the king of puns.

ah, that is the old style sf. Sf and fantasy nowadays are much more liberated and cater to all sexual inclinations. Or almost all.
4:57 am
zoozzoom

Thought we were talking about coffee..lol
4:58 am

ok, just a little crossy-like tidbit: a cup of coffee in dutch is colloquially knows as 'een bakkie troost' which translates as 'a nice cup of comfort'.

Yesterday morning as I left for work I saw my neightbor's pickup truck crashed into a tree in another neighbor's front yard. The air bag was deployed. Driver was already gone. I suspect the driver slid around the curve, went into the yard and crashed, then walked home. But when and why?

No, I haven't really needed that since walking is much less a problem that getting up from sitting. I can tell you that I have to put so much energy into my thighs to get up they'll look like body builder thighs before too long!!

Thanks, Judi.

That should make walking easier, mimi. lol

I'm one tough old broad and I just keep moving through it as I think that lying down and giving in just makes it worse and isn't my style.
12:50 pm

Well, even if you don't have MS, you sure have moxie!
12:50 pm

If you take to your bed, mimi, it will make your muscles weaken and then it will make it harder to walk.

It can be fierce, crossy, but I mostly keep things under control.

Synonymous with "across the pond".

Yes, jaxx. That plus I come from a long line of very unusual and strong women.

My daughter has green eyes with a gray circle around the outside of the iris...very unusual and beautiful. She gets that from my grandmother, I think, who had green eyes as did my biological father.
12:57 pm

Lucille Ball had red hair and blue eyes. They called her "Technicolor Tessie".

I have some freckles, too, but not as many as when I was young.

I believe the correct phrase for those with red hair is "ginger people".
12:58 pm
hego

I have green eyes and freckles, but my hair was dark.
12:58 pm
MimiCat

People have told me it would be easier to color my hair blond since it would last longer and not show the roots so soon but then I wouldn't be able to tell my blond jokes (and I have LOTS of them). Plus...I just don't have a blond personality (no insult to blonds).
12:59 pm
Judi

Or, as some in the south say, "punkinheads".

Ooooh, hego--how beautiful.

Even better Hego. Under the pink mine is that yellowish grey, not attractive in one so young. If you believe that you will believe anything. lol
1:01 pm
MimiCat

I always say life is about balance and the nicer you are on one side, the fiercer you can be on the other. That's me...don't go to the dark side with me 'cause I will take you down! But mostly I'm really very nice.
1:02 pm
hego

lol Jaxx
1:02 pm
Judi

I have to agree, Hego. :-)). My natural color is dark brown, which really washes out my fair skinned face. Hence blondification.
1:02 pm
MimiCat

No, Judi...when we turn gray we seem to almost disappear, especially to young people. They just look right past you as if you don't exist. They do that to me until I open my mouth!
1:02 pm

okay, Judi, sure. ;)

I'm a bit concerned about something. For the second time in as many weeks I did something I've NEVER done before -- left the kitchen with food cooking on the stove, then COMPLETELY forgot until I had burned the pan black (my smell seems to be on the fritz, so I didn't smell anything burning until I walked back into the kitchen.) I'm going to be 60 this year.... is this just normal?

It's just never happened to me before.
2:04 pm
doseffing

... i believe that it's being able to sense odours (that aren't there) that's a sign of perhaps being something ... ... not smelling something is just a sign that like me you've always eaten your food too quickly and have a lessened sense of taste and smell
2:04 pm

Not a good idea to leave cooking food unattended.

Is anything troubling going on in your life to distract you?

Good point, dose. Hego, no, in fact, I am living the dream -- working from home, no-stress job, volunteering in my community, blessed to be married to my beloved. That's why I ask if this kind of thing is part of aging. And Molly... you're right, of course.

Of the 365/366 days in the year, there are only 2 days when pubs do not open. Christmas Day, and Good Friday. You would think that Prohibition had been introduced round here. Both returned Soodle-kids have gone to house parties, where they will gleefully defy the law. Sigh.
4:56 pm
MollyL

Hey, I think Good Friday is a fine day to hoist a few.
4:58 pm
Soodle

LOL! Its a sign of your standing in the community if you get invited to a pub for an illegal drink on Good Friday. I was lucky enough to receive such an invitation. It would have been rude to decline. I went, but only drank a soda, becaues I had the car. But It felt good to be there. :-)
5:01 pm

Tsk, tsk. One drink will not impair your ability to drive.

for su4... We are having springlike weather here -- alternating rain and sun -- enough sun to want to garden, enough rain to mean it's not really a good idea... LOL So I am resting up this afternoon instead of racing outside to plant and weed.

The yard is getting to be so lovely again. By next year it should look like we were never away. Have to put the bulbs in metal cages though -- something ate a bunch of them completely out of the ground.
