I think I'll try to make frangipane cream
What is frangipane? I turns up in British Bake-Off, and I don't know what it is.
ION, as I clean up the house, things end up in odd places. I looked over from my computer to see this looking at me.

After being mildly startled at eyes looking at me, I remembered it was this.

Bought in a short-lived Mexican furniture and art store in town about twenty years ago.
What is frangipane?
I swear I thought it was a flower, but that can't be right.
Oh! That sounds yummy! Sort of marzipany.
It's used a lot in French Pastry...if you've ever had an almond croissant, the almond paste was probably frangipane.
I miss this place. I'm using the Chrome Beta browser on Android now and it seems to do a better job of keeping my place than the old one.
The only thing of note to report vis that a temporary rental car is making driving much much easier. As in "working AC easier."
The alumni group bowling thing was fine. No one there from within a decade of my graduation date, so that was not great. Everyone seemed nice though and I will go to ones in the future. Next one up includes a few other university alum groups.
msbelle, I admire how willing you are to go out and meet others. I've grown terrified of that sort of thing.
well I am terrified and hate it, but I also want friends and possibly a relationship. people tell me meeting people is the only way.
Glad you went and it was fine. Fine is good, I like fine.
That thing with the cheese is pretty amazing.
Hi Theo! Glad the rental is working out.
Ran my 5k this morning - 3 minutes faster than the same course last year. That seems good. Then went to the post office to mail some stuff and got locked in (not really, but when it's time to close up shop this PO chains up the main door and sends customers out by another route when their business is done. It was kind of exciting). Then local outdoor art show where once again I didn't buy anything. There was quite a bit I liked but much of that needs to be viewed from a larger distance than any room in my house would allow.
Now I am thinking about a nap.
