Wash ,'War Stories'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
What was the recipe that turned tragic?
This one: [link] They wouldn't come out of the muffin tin, no matter what. I had been planning to take them to a party, but after I finally scooped them out, they were a pile of fruit mush.
The Boy, being fond of sweets and not caring what things look like, happily ate them over the course of a week, usually with ice cream.
And is self-rising flour in the same section as regular flour?
Yeppers!
it's just 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and .5 teaspoons of salt to each cup of flour.
Tanks!
Oh Teppy, those look very good--and I am sure TB didn't mind the way they looked!
I have a bus/metro etiquette question. A few times lately, I've skipped going to something because I had to take a bus or metro there and I wasn't sure that I'd have a seat and I knew that my ankle couldn't handle standing all the way there. What's the rule for those "these seats must be offered to seniors or people with disabilities" seats? Nobody is going to just offer one to me because I don't use a cane or crutches or anything else that visibly shows that I have trouble standing for a long time. Asking someone for one of those seats would probably require explaining why, and that could take a while and they wouldn't necessarily believe me. And for all I know, the person I'm asking to give up a seat might also have an invisible issue, and then I'd be putting that person in the position of having to explain it to me. I can't think of any solution to this.
The only solution I have is one that wouldn't come from you. If I'm on a full or fullish train, I stand. I might not know who needs to sit, but I know I can stand.
The only solution I can think of is to buy a cane. Added bonus: you can look all suave when you pull the stop cord with it.
I had a friend with an RSI -- she couldn't stand on a bus, because she couldn't hang on. She got a lot of dirty looks, but dealt with it. I'm not sure how she explained it to the chinese women on the bus that didn't speak english.
