Are you two in the same house?
Yes, we are (or were), but I'm all the way upstairs, and she's all the way downstairs, so it's easier to communicate via the board.
Oh, Jars, that's scary! Much ~ma headed your way.

This pumpkin butter recipe looks the best of the ones I have looked at. Most seem to call for all white sugar, this one calls for dark brown sugar. Of course that puts the nix on an easy conversion to the use of sugar substitutes, but c'est la vie. [link] Another point in its favor is its accuracy on canning directions: which is to say, it says don't do it, recommends storing in fridge or freezer instead. This matches the official government home canning safety standards thingy, as pumpkin is too variable, and generally not acidic enough, nor is there enough sugar added to prevent bacterial growth.
Jars, much ~ma to Greg and you.

Are you two in the same house? That's too funny.Daniel and I sometimes IM each other from the next room. Our desks are not line-of-sight from each other, but near enough that sometimes I can hear Harvey purring from Daniel's shoulder over here. This does take care of my concern that we had spent so many years keeping company online that we might not be able to effectively communicate by, you know, actual talking.

Andi, I'll bet you could get a good approximation by using your sugar substitutes with a small amount of molasses.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Heart ~ma to Greg, Jars.
I've been zombified all week. Haven't gotten shit done. I'm just wandering around and staring. I've informed my boss that I'm zombified and she's getting a part-timer to do some of my work for me. (No, really. My boss is insane, but she likes me.)
Oh, now I want pumpkin butter made with brown sugar. I've never even had pumpkin butter before.

Good idea, brenda. Thanks.

I'm sure it's nothing and he'll be fine. Thanks for the ~ma though guys.

Are you two in the same house? That's too funny.
At least in this morning's exchange we were almost as far as two people can get from one another in the house. The other night we were sitting in the same room and IM'ing.
That reminded K-Bug of the first time I hauled her to Lee's place. I blank on who was visiting, but there were a few laptops in operation, so folks were posting to the board, IM'ing eachother, and chatting with eachother. She still finds this odd. Silly girl.

Much ~ma to Zenkitty and Zenkitty mom. Also ~ma to Jars and Greg. Hope it's just some sort of flukey thing. For both, I'm hoping that the panicky bark is worse than the diagnosis bite.
Also, because I've been thinking of them, continued ~ma to NoiseDesign's folks and to d's dad. Have also been thinking about Beverly and her family. Hugs to you all.
ION, we finally have a TiVo, a wireless router, and a Wii. I feel so goddamned consumerist it makes me laugh nervously. However, the web surfing in the living room really makes all other financial and consumerist dilemmas sort of melt away. Heh.
Also, we went to a homebrew club meeting last night and it was fun. We met a whole bunch of beer geeks and Tom's beers were enthusiastically received. (his Session-strength Saison in particular.) I don't know what was more stressful for him- meeting a lot of new people at once or having people say nice things about his beer. He did great though, I'm really proud of him. He didn't even take an Ativan! (he forgot them at home)
