Don't feel bad - I's a down-home farm gal and never seen it done before neither. Must be a Kansas thang (or Eye-o-Way as the case may be).

Thank goodness this very unpsilly end of week (with the exception of the hay baler) is coming to an end.

The annual boob-mashing ended up being the annual skin-tearing as this grim-faced hag mauled and mashed and pushed and scrunched - got this tear line under me right boob now, right on the bra line..... You bettah believe next time I is going to demand a little more respect . She tried to blame it on "some women get very moist there"!! Yeah, like when it's 100 degrees in Reno and they won't let you wear powder or antiperspirant...

The other unpsilly thing was my misreading a label Ya see, corn starch is corn flour down under, and I bought these rice chips which had corn flour on the label and my eye just passed right over, including the fact that the word "masa" was right in front of the corn flour, which meant they had ground up the whole kernel. Good part about it was I had one of my erratic arrythmias less then a mile from the ER I had been in when I first got here, so I decided to go and have it recorded and see what it was -- just a bad case of a-fib, they says, which I thought it might be all along but no-one would believe me. They couldn't convert me with either potassium or Metoprolol so sent me home once I was stable with the cardiologists calling me in the a.m. However, at 1:30 a.m. I suddenly converted on my own as I normally do after the lectins have done their thing. I did get to see a different (and much more impressive) cardiologist this time, who changed my meds (again! but this is a change for the better I think.) And, I get my follow-up appt. with the cardiologist I saw in the ICU who I really liked but who is so popular I could not get in to see her until 9/9. When I had my annual rheumy appt. he said "Candace is a very good cardiologist" so at least I can trust my own judgment.

So that's your unpsilly post for the day - resume regular psilly programming.

I think it helps if you have the right kind of baler and your dad's not looking.

M & Hub went on a Scout campout canoeing/ kayaking. They ate better then I did! M made chili Mac with a cornbread topping and apple cobbler for dessert. Not gluten-free but he offered to us the gluten-free cake mix and cornbread mix if I wanted him to try to see how it worked for other kids. Hub made the food for the adults dinner. Jambalaya and green chili pork. Except that he used a can of cream of chicken, both would be gluten-free. So delicious the adults didn't need dessert.

Sorry I didn't see your unpsilly post, Shroomy. We was simultaneously posting! Hope your heart feels better with the new meds and doc. Hope the booby feels better too. Want an annoying place for a sore. You may have to go bra- less.

I'm wondering if your 'cobbler' is the same as our 'crumble' .......... whole dinner sounded scrumptious!

Hope the booby feels better too. Want an annoying place for a sore. You may have to go bra- less.

Wait! ...maybe Shroomie can do the nekkid raindance for me???

Traditional cobbler is fruit with a top crust or crumbly top crust. At camp, you put pie filling then top with the powdered cake mix and some little bits of butter. Yum!

Iffen I did ye would nae wanna witness it

Hey Shroomie, hope yer new meds help yer heart behave better - (and yer smooshed boob feels better soon )

Wait! https://www.celiac.com/public/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif[/img ...maybe Shroomie can do the nekkid raindance for me?

I thought it was a SUN dance? Raindances should not be done nekid. You must wear a rain slicker and wellies. The wilder colored the better. First you wash your car then perform the dance.

No can do....... NEVER wash the car

Shrooooomie! Yer boob! An' yer heart! Hoping both are back to normal!

This has me suddenly pondering the very nature of this word.. . .. ... ..."cobbler" is traditionally an individual who mends and makes shoes and boots. Do you think he was perhaps also the first bloke to sprinkle sweet powdery stuff o'ertop chopped fruit and throw it in the stone oven?

I'm just wondering if it's too early to put the heating on 'cos Iz FREEZING!!!!

OMG.. . . . we are broiling here.. .. ...37 C today, tomorrow and through Thursday. . . . . . . ..

Yep, I'm a survivor (and a quick healer). Thanks.

That's because the Canadian guvmint arranged to have the cold front zooming down south over us instead of up there where it belongs

Maybe it's a New England thing, but a crumble/crisp is fruit bottom with sugar, flour, and butter on top, crisp usually includes oats. Fruit filling with cake mix dumped on top with bits of butter all over is called, appropriately, dump cake. Cobbler is fruit filling with a batter on top- eggs, flour, sugar, butter. Fine distinctions, I realize, but it's VERY IMPORTANT we get this right or my anal-retentive mother will psychically know I didn't correct you and have a coronary!!!! :)

I agree with Bunneigh, but where does Apple Pan Dowdy fit in? I made it for DH and ever since he calls anything with fruit and a topping apple pan dowdy, NO MATTER what the fruit

I wuz being 5 again! I know, hard to do at my advanced age... Didn't have no smashed boobies then either. Ah, the age of innocence, says she nostalgically. The overwhelming smell of the lanolin, the stink of the sheep crap... the scents of our youth. Not to mention the day I fell in the sheep dip

Glad you got all moved. Were you able to holler any orders or are you still whispering?? T'any rate, sure hope you're feeling bettah.

Mark's wee room? Thought you were moving into an apartment? I am confoozled.
