Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Last message about cake was for ITRR, Not Llama.
That comment would be enough to leave me speechless! Wow, killing his mom.
The only justified reason for killing somebody is self defense.
My friend who is single owns a gun. She continually does target practice. We live in a high crime city.
Every time we turn around in New Orleans there is another murder and carjackings are rampant here.
I told my friend that I was afraid of guns. She told me never to get one then, because a criminal would take the gun away from me and kill me with my own weapon.
She says that she was taught that if you can’t pull the trigger and know how to properly use a gun to protect yourself, then you shouldn’t own one.
I guess that I am a wuss! I don’t know if I could ever kill someone.
Your story reminds me of two elderly women who did volunteer work with the homeless in New York. They lived in a very expensive area.
They were taking advantage of the homeless by pretending to care. They took them into their homes and then took out insurance policies on them and killed them for the money. One of the old women ran over a person with her car. That’s insane!
Can you imagine two old ladies killing off people for the insurance money? Geeeeeez.
Wasn’t there a woman who killed her husband (rolled over him) with her Mercedes Benz for having an affair? I remember hearing about that case too. She made sure that he was dead too!
Tiramisu is wonderful!
glad - we just has a decent snowfall but other than that we are doing well. Stay warm!!!!
And my phone is blowing up from the various weather notifications that I get. I should get chili out of the freezer or some Hoppin John.
I wish you had gotten her recipe!
I find that it is a lighter cake. The icing isn’t super sweet which I don’t like.
I saw the recipe for Texas sheet cake on a few of the food blogs that I read. They look delicious.
My sister use to make a strawberry cake that looked the same, there was never any leftovers. Unfortunately, I never got her recipe and I couldn't find anything that made me go, ah that looks like it, until now.
Love, love, love a good tiramisu and a tres leche cake. Oh, and Texas sheet cake and hummingbird cake and, wait, I just like cake:-)
Chantilly cake is a white cake with a whipped cream icing and fruit, different berries. It’s very good.
I love tiramisu!
Burnt: Delicious sounding!
PB: Thank you so much!
What I noticed is that the ads for covid vaccines no longer say "safe and effective", nstead they say the vaccines provide the "best" protection. Well, "best" is very subjective. with little legal implication. Who's going to tell me that I don't make the best carrot cake?
Stuffed shells and tiramisu. That's every celebration in my family. That's the Italian side.
We're having stuffed shells tonight for dinner. I made the ricotta last night in fact.
No tiramisu (which is my all-time favorite cake) because I'm dieting.
ITRR, the CDC just announced that their system just flagged a possible link between COVID vaccines and strokes in people 65 years and older. A Congressional committee is demanding an investigation. CDC however continues to recommend the vaccines. Pfizer continues to claim no cause and no connection between its vaccines and the strokes and heart attacks and other serious injuries.
I guess more deaths have to happen before they are willing to connect the dots.
Edit: Tiramisu can be considered a cake. I made it for DD's '06 bridal shower. Since I was the host, I made it all Italian because my idea started with her fav, which is my stuffed shells and built on that. A cousin said she had never been to a bridal shower like it.
Need: Don't really have a favorite cake, but I am a tiramisu lover. No cake today as DD is quite sick. Had to postpone her December 4 and holiday celebrations yet again.
BOJ: DH got me a salmon dinner from Outback. Not busy eating cake.
MY DIL is from Shepardstown. My son and DIL lived up on Blue Ridge mountain above the river until she got transferred for work. Her whole family lives in the area. Her brother owns one of the big rafting companies.
I am not sure exactly what the cause of death was. So sad, though.
She left children behind. She looks so much like her dad.
Not the movie! LOL It’s a quiz on the superstitions that we have.
i hope you’re busy eating lots of yummy bday cake. ENJOY your day!
🍀🍀✨✨🌸🌸
For me, just another day!
What’s your favorite cake?
My favorite one recently is Chantilly. Whole Foods sells the itty bitty ones. They are so cute! They sometimes have Chantilly cupcakes too.
