[vixmom]

I wish the Gardenia series were being recorded for posterity

[vixmom]

I wish Elmnore would tellus how the recording session went to day and tell us how DAW and Jason are doing

[Cillaliz]

I thought you said "I was sleeping when I left for work"

[Cillaliz]

I wish my TV would stop freezing....

[Ginny]

I have been feeling very drained and tired and odd today


wonderif it culd be an after effect of the flu shot I had on Saturday

Maybe you're just worn out, DR Vixmom.  I worry about you...

[Jane]

Haven't been able to read the last few days, so a blanket of vibes for all in need.

I wondered where you were.  I'm about to make the red velvet cake.  I hope it works in the bundt pan.  I hope the weather holds out and I don't have to cancel, or attempt to move the gathering to another house.

DR Jane - Oh! I meant to comment on this the other day. The red velvet cake should work in the Bundt pan, but if it doesn't, well, it doesn't.  It varies from recipe to recipe.  For a "successful" Bundt cake, the batter usually has to have to some "structure" to it.  In other words, if it's a very thin batter, it might not rise enough to fill the pan - and bake properly.  However, if your batter is "spoonable", then things should turn out all right.

LOL-TOO LATE!  It worked but it was difficult to get out of the pan with the rose design.  I think it might be a smidgen too dry even though I watched it very carefully.  I will know tomorrow.  The cream cheese frosting I made to serve on the side is delicious.

I made two batches of hummus using Bryan's recipe, regular & spinach, and they too came out great.  I'm sorry now I only got veggies to serve with it & didn't get any pita bread.

[Cillaliz]

I've been drained too.  I took a claritin and it helped. I don't know about there, but allergies have been terrible here

[Jane]

All this mixing was extremely hard for me to do.  It was rather painful on the right shoulder/arm & I'm awkward using my left arm.  It took close to three times as long as normal to do it all & I still needed Keith's help a couple of times.  I never would have gotten the cake out of the pan or the tahini stirred for the hummus.

[Ginny]

I'll worry about you, too, DR Cillaliz...

[Jane]

We are home from the vet.  She's telling me he needs to go in for one more dip.  I told her the dip is making me sick.  Well, it could be that.  Anyway, we did agree that I'll call Monday and if the culture she took last week is still negative (so far so good), we'll wait and see  if the culture she took today is negative before doing more. (you're supposed to get 2 negatives before stopping)  Then, he'll get neutered....THEN the poor guy will be done.

VIBES THIS WAS THE LAST DIP!!!!

[vixmom]

Vixdad introduced me to the joys of a full English - eggs, English Bacon (which I love), sausages, broiled mushrooms, broiled tomatoes, toast  with orange maramlade and a nice pot of tea

oh and you MUST have HP sauce to put on the eggs and sausage

and a few times he made me wonderful grapefruit "breakfast appetizers"

half the grapefuit slice it all around so that all the little sections are free - pour  a little Cointreau over teh top then sprinkle with brown sugar and a cherry and put it under the broiler until the brown sugar is melting


oh so good

And you are on the poster where you belong!

I was surprised to see my name on the poster and to find the photos of the band parts with the review.

[FJL]

vixmom - for watching the video I put together of the Donna Murphy recording of Skip's song, and commenting on it

[Cillaliz]

I'll worry about you, too, DR Cillaliz...

Oh, don't worry unless it makes you feel better.  I'm fine.  I tend to get tired when I have time to be tired, lol.  I'm fine.

Thanks, me too.

Jose's toast story reminded me :we had the most wonderful toast in the hotel in Sasakatoon in August of 2008 - it was this thick thick wheat bread - golden crunchy on the outside and still soft inthe middle because of the thickness - wew were raving about how good the toast was and ordered extra sides of it - the waiter looked at us like we had 6 heads

later when we got to my in laws in Grande Prairie we went grocery shopping and found that this "exotic" bread was readily available - marketed as "Texas toast"  unfortunately it is not available here

[vixmom]

I thought you said "I was sleeping when I left for work"

that too!

[Cillaliz]

the Texas Toast we get here is inthe freeser sectionand it is garlic cheesy bread - we do not get loaves of double thick wheat bread marketed as Texas Toast -- do you have it there?

[Michael]

I got a great phone call tonight.

A local theater (One in Fort Lauderdale) wants to do a reading of my play in January or February of next year.

I get to direct the reading as well.

[Ginny]

Wonderful news, DR Michael S - congratulations!

I'm not sure.  I think so, but I could be wrong
