Anyways, this cream is clearing it up - -Elsie's first affected eye is almost completely better.

Oh, gad. . . . . . don't even wanna catch a glimpse of either of my cats right now..... . . .

Conjuctivitus, CraaaaAAPP indeed!

"k Em. We're having a potluck with the theme of "foods from far away". I'm bringing "Canadian Tarts"

What in hell is in Canadian tarts? Are they like li'l tortieres? Ground bison or caribou, or moose??

Did NOT know that we have our own tart classification. I'm feeling some rare pride, I sense. .. . ...

In my mom's book club (I use the term loosely) they spend about........five minutes discussing the book, and the rest of the time eating, drinking tea, and scuttle-butting.

<snigger>

Janie scuttle-butting (NOT to be confused with butt-scooting )

.....better idea: you can ESCAPE the pall of Manchester that has clearly engulfed you......'twill be just 84 degrees and full sun, a glorious crisp, fall day.......bring everyone, I'll handle the devil child (hard laboUr in the garden and other strict tasks ) , we'll just revel in the gorgeous wevvah and eat yummy things (which Tel makes for us)

Well, bloody excellent!!!

A gal wiv a plan ♥

Tel will be quite busy though.....over seeing devil child, cooking lush phood...oh!..and did I mention he's green fingered too??

Oh yes - he can tend to the garden...save your back.....any odd jobs need doing??

Al can clear up in the kitchen......wait ....what can we do?????.......... I'VE got IT!!!....gonna make the screwdrivers to keep the manchester mall at bay

I just LUUUURVE it!!!!!

I even say to Tel if he's driving ''Mind the cyclist dear''

Repeats are shown on Sun afternoons - perfect for the slovenly post Sunday dinner slump

So Nikki you already knew what a bucket list was?!?!

I haven't seen keeping Up Appearances, must check it out....what network does it air on in the states?

I'm not sure?? (I'll look it up)

Hee - lair-ee-us....you'd love it!!!!

Be brave with the blower Susie!!!!

Indeed!

[elye]

I do love this Keeping Up Appearances lady. . . . she's quite wonderful...Hyacinth Bucket....'Tis perfect........

I wanna Tel of me own!!! Sounds like a true Renaissance Man, Nik. Do you rent him out, then?

...Does he know how to make Canadian tarts? 'Cause I do not. I just AM a Canadian tart, methinks..... . .. . . .

[curlyfries]

A "bucket list" is a list of things you want to do before you die (or kick the bucket), from a movie of this same name with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.

Let's see if I can sound this out for you.......... Buuuuuuuuuuh-Kettttttttttttttttt

My sister brought dessert to dinner, and I must tell you, it was unbelievable, more so because of its simplicity. It's gluten AND sugar phree (which I need). She broke three eggs into her cuisinart, then dumped in three bricks of cream cheese and sprinkled in a bit of sweetener (Splenda, probably) amd orange rind. She smashed it up until it was well mixed, put it into a sprayed muffin tin (I think she said it made 18), topped it with sliced strawberries in juice, and threw it in the 350 F oven for 12 minutes. OMG.... .. ..amazing.

Not low-cal, fer sure. . . ...

She's put cocoa in the mix for chocolate ones, pumpkin or apple sauce for fruity ones. I'm thinkin' peanut butter cheesecake tarts would be DROOOOOOLY. . ..

Aren't these the national Thanksgiving dessert

[elye]

Aren't these the national Thanksgiving dessert

GAAAAAHHHH!!!!! NOW I get ya. . . . . . .....!!!

Yyyyyyes!! Absolutely, those are Eastern Canadian Shield Lumberjacks-luv-em Tarts. All the more convincing if you throw some maple syrup in as it's smashing up. . . . ....

Will do. May have to make a practice set this weekend.

Lisa, I asked about honey because I have a good bit of dessert-type stuff that I use only honey to sweeten, that you may enjoy, since you can't have sugar or fruit.

Ohhhhhhh.. . . . .me wisheth I could have honey. ........ . . . ..

I miss it so.

I've used it for insulin reactions, but it doesn't flow out quick and easily, like corn syrup does. Perhaps there would be more control, and it wouldn't do a number on me hair during those middle-of-the-night hypoglycemic episodes.. . . . gad. . . . ......

[Green12]

LISA, you might want to cover yer eyes, some sugary sweet talk is about to follow

Yeah sorry Jules!!

...but OMGAAAAWD the Toffee Apple cake!!!!!

Someone come over and STOP me eating it

I'll post it tomorrow.......Heroes is on in a mo (MUCH to discuss about 'Heroes' Jools, email yer tomorrow )

I was just teasin with ya, I wasn't waiting for your answers to make the plum polenta cake ......but so glad you bumped it up and reminded me of it!! I am seriously considering making it for Christmas, or before, so I might email you some questions

Can't wait to get the Toffee Apple Cake recipe......do you rent Tel out?!?!?

And yes, HEROES!!!! I dvr it on Monday (it's on Monday here) and watch it Tuesday or Wednesday, just watched this week's ep today.......but wait, are you one week behind us? The name of the episode I just watched was Angels and Monsters, I don't want to spoil anything for ya....but YES, SO MUCH to discuss, so much going on.....

Heroes makes my brain hurt

Edit: That big blank space at the top is supposed to be a quote box.......can't remember what it said.........no clue where it wandered off to.........HARRUMPPHH!!!!!!

2nd edit: OK, now even my blank space disappeared............and my page shrunk.....had to stretch it out again.........will I have a post at all????..........scary things are happening

This is quite curious........this is now the second incident that has come to my attention in the last 2 days, Susie's posts disappeared too.

I believe the Jester is having his phun on the phorum .....or it could be Suzanne Sommers.

GAAAAAHHHH!!!!! NOW I get ya. . . . . . .....!!!

Yyyyyyes!! Absolutely, those are Eastern Canadian Shield Lumberjacks-luv-em Tarts. All the more convincing if you throw some maple syrup in as it's smashing up. . . . ....

I was thinking, did she forget her yummy, dreamy, creamy tarts of goodness so quickly?!?!?

Lisa, I asked about honey because I have a good bit of dessert-type stuff that I use only honey to sweeten, that you may enjoy, since you can't have sugar or fruit.

I was going to say something about this Bunnie, that maybe Lisa could tolerate honey over sugar and fruit, and if so there are so many baking with honey recipes.

Janet, I was going to ask about your Atonement review, or anyone that has read the book and seen the movie......I just dvr'd the movie but now after reading said review wonder if I should read the book first

Where's Patti today?

Gawd--I love honey I use it for coughs and could eat it by the spoon every day if I let myself. Just the most heavenly stuff.

So, I go to the grocery store this morning to pick up a few things. Get home, and discover that the deli items are nowhere to be found....I look in the car--again, go through all the bags--again. Nada.

I call the store to see if I might have left them at the checkout--they're not there but she says to come in and they'll replace them--that the person behind me probably got them by mistake.

This was my morning, then my parents called this afternoon and we chatted for almost 2 hours. My mom's cousin, who I love and just saw in April at my dad's party, was in a serious car accident on Monday with her 10 year old granddaughter in the car. They were airlifted from the scene to a medical center in Syracuse (the accident happened about 25 miles from town).

The granddaughter sustained a broken leg and bumps and bruises. My mom's cousin had broken ribs, collapsed lung, broken leg and cuts and bruises--she had surgery yesterday and will have to have physical therapy. They are lucky to be alive, but are both expected to make a full recovery.

The car that caused the accident fled the scene, after stopping briefly, according to witnesses.

I'm catching up--did some moderating earlier, but didn't take time to post.

Julie--I bought the cake mix I need to make your apple-spice upside down cake

Try maple syrup, the real stuff. FAR healthier for you than corn syrup.... Please try?

How come you can't have honey anymore?

Patti! Mygawd. . . . ....what frightening news! I'm SO glad to hear that your mom's cousin and granddaughter will be okay. . . . .

Okay.........flying up Friday.........got any absinthe? blast those jets on me back.......maybe yer brother can give a lower back massage later

Yep, got absinthe! I'll get my brother's work schedule cleared for this weekend. . . . . . .

Type one diabetic. Cannot have ANY of that stuff, unless I'm having an insulin reaction and need a sugar source very quickly. Corn syrup is unhealthy, but it is SO MUCH cheaper than maple syrup, and I'm only swilling it back once in a great while....usually I use glucose tablets.

Honest to gawd, I don't think I've had honey in thirty-five years. . . . ....!!!

...Vaguely remember having it on toast with peanut butter as a little kid . .. . .....YUMMMM.....

I guess once in a while is ok........

Em, fer some reason I didn't realize you couldn't have any at all

[curlyfries]

Lisa, I asked about honey because I have a good bit of dessert-type stuff that I use only honey to sweeten, that you may enjoy, since you can't have sugar or fruit.

I really only care about the fruit.......hoping that with healing I can add it back. I'm too skeert to find an alternative to sugar. Afraid I will lose control and eat back the 25 pounds I've lost.

oh sillies...........had more to say.................back is - on the verge of being completely ruined.....

I KNOW I could not do all that!!!........can't even sit on a stool with no backrest........my chiropractor is my salvation!

Yes.........must escape.........we need a beach, hot tub, sun porch, not too cold, not too hot, no snow............what else?

Addition to escape list: one full-time massage therapist...........heck, might as well throw in a chef.........I hate to cook!

[elye]

It's no biggie, really! I've lived without white sugar, honey and syrup for so long, it really is a way of life.

Sometimes, I must say, though, I almost welcome the shakiness, sweatiness and vertigo that starts up when my blood sugar is low - - I get to have some chocolate!
