4:40 pm

cybernan

hi again - taking a break from the stove

4:40 pm

hokie carla

hey nan. what are you making? or is it a wood stove you are tending?

4:40 pm

cybernan

no miracle babies, carla?

4:41 pm

hokie carla

whew, I hope not

4:41 pm

cybernan

nope have made fillings for beef pies, chicken pies, have the carcas simmering in the oven for chicken soup. Next up will be the pastry for the pies.

4:42 pm

hokie carla

sounds delish

4:42 pm

hokie carla

if I could just find 2 more t's on the 4th row I'd gray the whole one

4:43 pm

cybernan

what kind of buns are you baking?

4:45 pm

hokie carla

hot dog and hamburger. same recipe, just doubled it. I have a new england hot dog bun pan which is a little different.

4:47 pm

cybernan

its been a long time simce I made bread or buns. May get back to it -- especially for something like cinnamon bun -- they are up to $1.75 each in the stores now.

4:47 pm

hokie carla

I've made this one before I had special pans, so we'll see how it goes

4:48 pm

hokie carla

yeah, gluten free bread and ingredients are even more

4:48 pm

hokie carla

have your eggs gone up too?

4:50 pm

cybernan

yes -- free range are $6.98/doz

4:51 pm

hokie carla

yeah, high here too

4:52 pm

cybernan

they are a lot cheaper at costco, but I can't use up 2-1/2 doz. within the best before date.

4:53 pm

hokie carla

yep, I get that

4:57 pm

cybernan

still missing a whole bunch of 7's and not seeing much

5:08 pm

cybernan

sorry - I'm kind of stalled at 78 so no sympathy here :)

5:08 pm

penquis

5:11 pm

penquis

good idea....

5:21 pm

penquis

5:21 pm

HarryHood

5:22 pm

penquis

we had ice this week....that was yucky....

5:22 pm

HarryHood

yeah. ice is tough.

5:22 pm

HarryHood

we haven't had more than a couple inches of snow.

5:22 pm

penquis

fell going out to my car...didn't get hurt, but had a hard time getting back up....kept slipping....nothing to hold onto...

5:23 pm

penquis

we had about 7 inches a few days ago....

5:23 pm

HarryHood

oh no

5:23 pm

HarryHood

are you ok?

5:23 pm

HarryHood

you can strain muscles like that

5:24 pm

penquis

yes, just a skinned knee....

5:24 pm

penquis

it was black ice....didn't see it....

5:24 pm

HarryHood

I'm hoping to take the kids skiing in february for a few days

5:25 pm

penquis

i had shorts and knee socks on (going to my tennis match)....had to go back in and change and brave it again to get back to the car....

5:25 pm

penquis

where are you intending to go?...

5:25 pm

HarryHood

ouch! ice tennis must be a new extreme sport

5:25 pm

HarryHood

5:25 pm

penquis

5:26 pm

penquis

5:26 pm

HarryHood

I got an airbnb further north, hoping for colder weather

5:26 pm

penquis

they must have snow up there....

5:26 pm

HarryHood

I think they got a bunch

5:27 pm

penquis

great nephew went cross country skiing with his school team for a few days over Christmas break....they went to Presque Isle and it snowed every day....

5:27 pm

penquis

he had a great time...

5:27 pm

HarryHood

beautiful

5:27 pm

hokie carla

rehi - glad you are okay, pen. my mom broke her kneecap when I was a teenager stepping on ice on our carport.

5:27 pm

penquis

they have a great facility up there....host international events....

5:28 pm

hokie carla

we are having more rain 😔

5:28 pm

penquis

i don't mind the snow too much....less shoveling now with the new landlord....ice is tough, though....

5:29 pm

HarryHood

savor the snow while we still have it.

5:29 pm

penquis

are you in NC or SC?>..

5:30 pm

hokie carla

SC but like 20 min from the border of NC.

5:31 pm

penquis

ah....my cousin moved down there....about ten miles to the border, I think and close to the coast....

5:32 pm

hokie carla

I am far from the coast

5:32 pm

penquis

ah...farther west...

5:33 pm

hokie carla

yep, in the mountains

5:34 pm

penquis

ah, ok....never been in that part of the state....

5:34 pm

MollyL

What is it you snow lovers love about snow?

5:34 pm

hokie carla

south of Asheville, which is south of my hometown in VA

5:35 pm

penquis

i am not a winter sport person....but i would rather have the snow that the extreme hot weather....

5:35 pm

hokie carla

I used to be a snow lover. not so much anymore. but I would rather have snow over cold rain any day.

5:36 pm

penquis

i have been to Asheville....and i lived in Charlottesville for two years....very nice area....

5:36 pm

MollyL

Yeah, but you don't have to shovel cold rain, and it doesn't mess traffic up.

5:37 pm

HarryHood

it's so quiet. and I like shoveling

5:37 pm

HarryHood

I like all kinds of weather

5:37 pm

penquis

i do like the change of seasons...

5:40 pm

penquis

i assume that an 8 (yes, I listed at 40) is a chemical term?...

5:40 pm

MollyL

You like shoveling? Harry you are truly unique.

5:41 pm

HarryHood

it's frequently the only exercise I get in the winter

5:41 pm

penquis

i don't mind doing a little.....but only if it is light snow... :oD

5:41 pm

MollyL

The an8 has a direction in it

5:42 pm

penquis

5:47 pm

HarryHood

5:48 pm

penquis

5:49 pm

hokie carla

5:49 pm

penquis

sn 9 may be the one you don't have, Harry....

5:49 pm

MollyL

Me too

5:49 pm

HarryHood

even if you like the bengals, it was not a fun game to watch

5:49 pm

5:50 pm

HarryHood
