'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Facials???
Cookies and cakes to me are smoother, thus the wheat germ would disrupt the tastiness.
Even oatmeal cookies? I'm all about the chewiness. I see the divide -- I wouldn't wheat germ in every cake (nor in every bread), but I would in some of the heartier ones.
Another use for egg whites is a chiffon cake (popular in the 1950s) which is made with egg whites and vegetable oil. They're pretty good.
You guys make it way too complicated.
Buffistas, though, isn't a bar, it's more like a coffeehouse.
David S. likes to call it a cocktail party. And yes, we're a lot less jostle-y than several male-dominated boards I've been on.
And like a barfly in a Starbucks, I feel like I'm just jostling around and making an ass of myself.
This is called "falling into the guacamole" and is a time-honored tradition! Okay, it is just something we all do. I haven't noticed an conspicuous avocado today, but, I haven't been 100% paying attention.
Although I am a fan of lurky information-gathering (I am kind of a sneak myself), I do hope you'll rejoin the conversation when you feel qualified to do so, dw. New perspectives are always good. Also, whom else can I ask stupid questions about the geography and culture of Oklahoma? We have several Utah peeps, folk from KC, Minnesota representing, and numerous foreign correspondents, but nobody else from Oklahoma that I know of.
Is gingerbread bread or cake?
Gingerbread is (are?) bats. Which I might bake a batch of when the weather stays cool for a few days.
So... I'm just going to curtail my posting significantly and lurk a lot more. This isn't a culture I understand well enough yet to be a productive member of b.org. The less I talk, the less damage I can do.
Maybe I over-skimmed, but you really seemed to fit right in and I don't think you so much as annoyed anyone much less pissed anyone off. Like Gud, I also thought you were an old-timer. Anyway, we totally need more barflies in our coffeehouse. Seriously.
dw, it takes a while to adjust to board culture, but I haven't noticed any higher level of kerfuffling today than usual, so don't take it too much to heart, whatever happens.
For me, cakes contain eggs. Breads do not.
dw, I don't see it that way. Sorry you feel uncomfortable.
Even oatmeal cookies? I'm all about the chewiness.
I already put in over and above the usual amount of oatmeal, so I get the chewiness that way. It's purely a me distinction, I think.
Is gingerbread bread or cake?
This is a question for the ages, I think.
I never saw gingerbread in bread/cake format until I was an adult. I always had gingerbread cookies, so I thought that was what gignerbread meant -- flat, hard cookies. Seeing inch-tall cake was a bit alarming.
