'Out Of Gas'
[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.
I'm around! FB chat or gchat works for me. Or in thread.
HO. LEE. CRAP. Just had what a local rogue chef called Chef Pete calls "Foie-reos". Foie gras mousse in between shortbread rounds that are made with foie and butter, as well as indian spices. GOD.
I made speculaas cookies today! Have the icebox cookies in the fridge waiting to bake off. mocha cookies will need to wait till tomorrow. Was gonna make a lamb korma curry for dinner but I think a couple Foie-reos will do me up right good.
Okay, here goes:
Go, smonster; I wave pom-poms southward. And should totally be making a list myself. Maybe I'll get inspired!
Go, smonster! I'm happy to chat along if it helps.
do that in 30 minute bursts so you don't burn out.
We tried spaghetti squash for the first time tonight. It was surprisingly easy to make, and it tasted good as well. We got a huge one from our CSA, so it was enough for two nights worth of meals.
easy stuff first: bank card in wallet, duvet cover, colorcode keys, plan day.
What's YNAB?
I'll cheer you on, smonster, but it's horribly hypocritical of me, as I sit here in the comfy chair not working on my to-do list.
Go, smonster, go!
YNAB is a budgeting program called You Need A Budget.
My only to-do tonight is to go to the damn gigantor liquor/party store in Northern Kentucky to replace my dad's Christmas present that I dropped and broke last night (a Budweiser holiday beer stein). Budweiser has a new design every year and he collects them. I've been getting them for him for literally decades, and this is the first time I'm dropped and broken one.
It's just -- going to the gigantor booze store the week of Christmas is going to be scary. OTOH, I need wine anyway.
Dinner was soft-boiled eggs and a GF bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon. And I want more eggs. They are tasty as hell.
Oh, wait -- I do have one more to-do item: make 7-layer bars (also called Dream Cookie Bars, etc.) -- the ones with condensed milk, chocolate chips, coconut, etc. The regular recipe uses graham crackers, but I found a GF recipe today that subs out the graham crackers for rolled oats. And suddenly they sound like a divine cracky combo of a no-bake cookie and a Samoa Girl Scout cookie. Must. Make. Tonight.
also called Dream Cookie Bars, etc.
Heh, I have to make those, too, but not until next week. We call them Magic Cookie Bars. I first tasted one in college from a care package that my friend shared with me. They were, in fact, magical. And still are. Maybe I'll make two batches. One to share; one to hoard.
