[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:13:52 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> KK?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:13:57 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi, is that KK?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:13:59 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:13:59 PM EST] Nick web78 is now known as KK.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:14:04 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> (does KK always get "web78"?)
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:14:07 PM EST] <The_Bee> HiKK!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:14:10 PM EST] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:14:19 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Usually Web-something, yeah
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:14:33 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> She usually gets web[two digits]. until she changes her nickname.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:14:41 PM EST] <KK> How's everyone tonight?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:14:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> How are you, KK?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:14:53 PM EST] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: Client closed).
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:14:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> I change mine before I log in.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:14:59 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Doing fine. Sorry for missing last week, but I was with DS and my new DIL
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:15:03 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Sleepy. You, KK?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:15:25 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Also imminently incapussitated.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:16:08 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I was very incapussitated last Sunday. I was pet sitting while DS and DIL were on a mini-honeymoon, so I was being taken care of by three cats and two dogs.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:16:26 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Have Carys across right arm, so please forgive me my typos.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:16:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And they returned home just as chat was starting
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:17:20 PM EST] <bynw> we lost KK she must of closed the browser tab/window or her computer restarted
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:17:47 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Oops
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:18:18 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hopefully she'll come back to us.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:18:33 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'll wait until she gets back to share the wedding pic I was about to post, since she won't see it if she's on IRC and I post it in her absence
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:18:40 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Autumn has finally arrived in Florida.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:18:50 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> How cool is it in Jax?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:18:53 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I have the AC off, the fans on, and the windows open.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:19:10 PM EST] <bynw> its autumn here but really feels colder
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:19:11 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Sounds pleasant

[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:19:42 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hi, all!

[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:19:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It's been on the chilly side of pleasant here, though during the middle of the day it's fine. I make sure to grab a sweater or light jacket in the mornings, though.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:19:51 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> If the [expletive deleted] fools will quit shooting off fireworks, it'd be lovely.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:19:53 PM EST] <The_Bee> I spenweek.t hours yesterday preparing food for a church coffee hour. I was chopping up cabbage when I remembered I'm not doing it until nex
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:19:53 PM EST] <bynw> its 48 F here
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:19:57 PM EST] <bynw> hi HoundMistress

[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:20:07 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi HoundMistress
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:20:09 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Why fireworks?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:20:12 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Laurna isn't able to make it today, she's having birthday dinner with her family
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:20:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I have no idea
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:20:26 PM EST] <web37> Sorry about the blip. My machine insisted to installing updates. But all is well now.

[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:20:40 PM EST] <The_Bee> WB KK
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:20:40 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> It's either fireworks or someone is occasionally blowing stuff up for no apparent reason.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:20:42 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Welcome back
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:20:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Rehi KK.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:20:57 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I was waiting for you to get back before posting this: [redacted for privacy]
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:21:38 PM EST] <web37> Awwww. Lovely photo.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:21:44 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> How was your week, KK?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:22:10 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Yes, wonderful photo!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:22:22 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Thanks
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:22:45 PM EST] <web37> Week was fine until Friday afternoon, when I went to what I thought would be a routine cardio check-in. Wrong? I'm back in A1fib, will be having anotheer cardioversion in the morning.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:22:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I love her dress, and they look so sweet and happy together! May they always be so.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:22:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> ACK!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:23:01 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Oh dear, KK!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:23:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Are you going to have to have an implanted cardioverter?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:23:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> Take cRE OF YOURSELF, kk
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:24:06 PM EST] <web37> Ack, indeed. I thought the ablation couple of years ago was to have fixed that issue. Apparently. May have to have that done again, depending on how tomorrow goes.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:24:14 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hi, KK, bynw
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:24:20 PM EST] <The_Bee> I hope the problem can be easily corrected, KK
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:24:50 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> (A better view of the dress, DR: [redacted for privacy] We haven't got the official photos back yet, so I have more decor photos than actual wedding pics, but that's the clearest one I have of the full dress.)
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:25:07 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I hope everything goes smoothly, KK
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:25:30 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I love a lace overlay on a wedding gown.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:25:36 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Good thoughts and prayers, KK.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:25:48 PM EST] <web37> I asked him whether this meant a pacemaker in my future, but he said not necessarily. Apparently an ablation can be done more than once. We shall see.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:26:06 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Me, too, DR. Love that lace look.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:26:17 PM EST] <The_Bee> What is an ablation?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:26:32 PM EST] <web37> Check-in is at 0930, and procedure should be done by lunchtime.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:26:39 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Or even on a cocktail dress. The dress I wore to the Pod-Child's rehearsal dinner had a lace overlay (but it was magenta lace over an almost black sheath dress), and the dress I wore to my high school reunion is cream satin with a black lace overlay.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:27:11 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Those must have been very pretty, DR.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:27:12 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> At least that's pretty quick, rather than having a long wait, KK
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:27:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Do you have to stay overnight or is it an outpatient procedure?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:28:17 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> [redacted for privacy]
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:28:18 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> [redacted for privacy]
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:28:24 PM EST] <web37> Ablation is when they pass wires into the heart to burn out spots that aren't behaving properly. Painless (good drugs!) and usually pretty effective, but I suppose that tissue can grow back.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:28:42 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Nice, DR!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:28:47 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I'm the person in the pillbox hat, standing up giving a toast; that's the rehearsal dinner outfit.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:29:16 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Heat shields on space capsules usually use ablation: it's a resin-based compound or something, and it burns off slowly on the way down.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:29:35 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> And the person beside me with the auburn hair and the flowered dress is @sarah_thejellylady who is making peanut butter cookies and then cranberry-oatmeal cookies tonight.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:30:37 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> But Sarah sends her love to y'all.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:30:38 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hopefully we won't need to send KK hurtling through the atmosphere, though
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:30:51 PM EST] <web37> It's an out-patient procedure, and they would have done it Friday except that I was his last patient for the day and the master electrician had already headed out for the weekend.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:31:01 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Fair.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:31:21 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Well, best wishes for a successful procedure in the morning.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:31:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Seconded
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:31:43 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I know I had 2 vein ablations in my left leg, and that is the procedure that blocks off the vein by electro-coagulation.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:31:43 PM EST] <The_Bee> Who is the blonde woman with her hands clasped at her chin?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:31:48 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And no hurtling through the atmo
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:32:20 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> My aunt (my mom's brother's wife)
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:32:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> ah, thanks
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:33:06 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Quanah is driving me stark, staring MAD. Let me go see what he wants THIS time.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:33:12 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> LOL
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:33:20 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Because I am an oak tree of a human and because of the angle, you can't see my uncle or stepdad as I'm in the way; you can sort of see my mom below my arm in the first photo.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:33:20 PM EST] <web37> So they've doubled up on my Eliquis and added another med, and I was told to head for the ER if I felt at all funky over the weekend. A friend will be driving me to my appointment in the morning. Not concerned about the procedure--been there, done that, and the drugs are good--but it'll be interesting to find out how this impacts my general
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:33:21 PM EST] <web37> prognosis.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:33:26 PM EST] <bynw> ah Sarah is a sweetheart
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:33:39 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> "master electrician"? I imagine some tradie with the TODO list "replace the light switch in 214 / burn a bit off someone's heart / check 3rd floor for burned-out bulbs".
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:33:41 PM EST] * bynw is catching up
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:33:46 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> KK, you are still showing up as web37
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:33:48 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> She is. My family has basically adopted her.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:34:06 PM EST] <bynw> i adopted her the same way years ago
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:34:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> That's a fun set of messages
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:34:26 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> (Command to change your nickname is /nick KK and the slash has to be the first character in the line.)
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:34:41 PM EST] Nick web37 is now known as KK.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:34:53 PM EST] <bynw> she is afterall ambushes little sister
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:34:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Well, you are her brother's stepdad, so it's not as far a jump for you to adopt her as it is for us.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:35:10 PM EST] <KK> Forgot to change it a second time.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:35:27 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> But she came to the wedding to help me, and my family just went, "ours now."
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:36:07 PM EST] <HoundMistress> TM, my late Lou called his an "electrician"
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:36:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> There are two types of cardiovascular issues: electrical (nerve/muscle malfunction) and plumbing (aka clogged arteries).
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:37:21 PM EST] <KK> Yeah, the docs who deal with electrical issues are electricians, and those who deal with blocked arteries and the like are the plumbers.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:37:56 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Mine for my leg was a plumber, then.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:38:31 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Fair enuf
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:38:32 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Mom's cardiologist is an electrician, because the reason she needs a pacemaker is that sometimes her sinoatrial node just nopes out on conducting the "make the heart beat" impulse from the CNS.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:40:14 PM EST] <KK> brb
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:40:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I think that's my cue to refill my tea, since KK had to step afk.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:40:42 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yum, tea
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:41:12 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I've been on a hot chai kick the past week
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:41:36 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Mmm, that sounds delicious!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:41:50 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> This is iced black tea with a bit of mint, lightly sweetened with sugar.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:42:11 PM EST] * The_Bee needs to go grocery shopping.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:42:16 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Sounds good
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:42:22 PM EST] * CambersGhost [discord] <azdesertrose> steals the cookies from Sarah's kitchen (peanut butter and cranberry-oatmeal) and sets them out on the tea table.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:42:32 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Granted, it's partly because I don't do black coffee, but I ran out of creamer and sugar/sweetener at the office. But I can do unsweetened chai even though I prefer a little sweetness added.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:43:08 PM EST] * CambersGhost [discord] <azdesertrose> then stocks the tea table with the Kettle of Magic Chat Hot Beverage and the Pitcher of Magic Chat Cold Beverage and cups, mugs, and glasses.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:43:09 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I miss my grandmother's sweet mint tea she made every summer because she had peppermint growing in her garden
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:43:20 PM EST] * bynw doesn't do tea or coffee but he does like strawberry/kiwi snapple
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:43:33 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I've had that. That's pretty good too
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:44:32 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The house in northern Arizona had mint growing all around it because some damn fool put it in the ground; I used to pick it, rinse it, and stick it in my sun tea jug.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:44:36 PM EST] <The_Bee> I had ssome delicious lemon-mint tea once, but I didn't get the recipe.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:44:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> (along with the water and black tea bags, obvs)
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:44:45 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Mmmm, strawberry kiwi Snapple...
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:44:58 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Well, yeah, it grows better in the ground than just floating around being airborne.... 😉
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:45:04 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Panera used to make an iced hibiscus herbal tea that I loved and I'm mad they discontinued it.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:45:20 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> If you're going to grow mint, put it in a container; it will TAKE OVER.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:45:31 PM EST] <bynw> or sometimes my kelly makes homemade starberry lemonaid for me too. that's yummy
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:45:46 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Sounds wonderful
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:45:48 PM EST] <bynw> and then there is always pepsi (with real sugar)
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:45:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> If you're going to grow mint, put it in a container; it will TAKE OVER YOUR YARD if it's in the ground with no containment.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:46:44 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Grandmother's peppermint, spearmint, and catnip were already planted in the ground in the side yard when they bought the property, I think, since it came up every year but she never planted it. But she also tended to keep it trimmed, so maybe that's why it didn't spread where she didn't want it.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:47:26 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> We made prosecco-soaked chocolate-covered strawberries for Mother's Day a few years ago and I think we had strawberry lemonade mimosas as well.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:47:34 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I know we had mimosas.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:47:38 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yum
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:48:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Prosecco? What is that?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:48:30 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> The main course was a French toast baked thing I made (that had bacon in it too).
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:48:35 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> An Italian sparkling wine.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:48:54 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> You had me at 'bacon'
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:50:09 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I have gelato for my dessert tonight
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:50:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We have a Neapolitan pizzeria in town that has the best gelato also
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:50:33 PM EST] <KK> Back.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:50:38 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Hi everyone
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:50:40 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Yay
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:50:45 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi jerusha!

[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:50:58 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hi, Jerusha
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:51:02 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hi Jsha
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:51:07 PM EST] <The_Bee> Does anyone know how to keep a cabbage salad fresh?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:51:18 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> For how long?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:51:20 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:51:26 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Interesting nickname, Nezz
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:51:30 PM EST] <bynw> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:51:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We could shorten it to Rush
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:52:01 PM EST] <The_Bee> a week. I mad it yesterday, forgetting it wouldn't be needed until Nov 24.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:52:03 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I will never be that famous
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:52:06 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Oh, Evie, the Soak Up The Sun orange blossom mead from Silver Hand Meadery would be right up your alley! It's so sweet I have to mix it.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:52:11 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi Jerusha.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:52:14 PM EST] <KK> Panera does stuff. They currently are doing an Autumn Squash soup that is wonderful. I stopped there on my way home from the hospital Friday evening and had a bowl with a hunk of baguette. Yum!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:52:17 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yum, Evie!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:52:44 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Bee, you might be best off making a new batch. A week would be stretching it.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:06 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I don't think I'd try to keep it that long.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:14 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And I don't think that is something that would freeze well
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:29 PM EST] <KK> Yes, enjoy it yourself until it's gone.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:41 PM EST] <The_Bee> You're right. It's a good thing I used a recipe I like.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:42 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> French toast bake recipe.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Maple Bacon French Toast Bake
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:44 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> From tasteofhome.com
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:45 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> INGREDIENTS:
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:47 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> 8 cups (1.9 L) cubed bread (full loaf of Texas Bread)
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:48 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> 8 large eggs
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> 2 cups (480 mL) 2% milk
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:51 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> ½ cup (120 mL or 3.5 oz/100 g) packed brown sugar
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:52 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> 1/3 cup (80 mL) maple syrup
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:53 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> ½ teaspoon (2.5 mL) ground cinnamon
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:54 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> 1 pound (0.5 kg) bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> DIRECTIONS:
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:57 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Spray a 13" × 9" (33 cm × 23 cm) baking dish with cooking spray. Place bread in the baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, brown sugar, syrup and cinnamon. Pour over bread. Sprinkle with bacon. Refrigerate, covered, 4 hours or overnight.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:53:58 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Remove casserole from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:54:18 PM EST] <The_Bee> what about deviled eggs?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:54:32 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'd still make those closer to time
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:54:50 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Yes, better to be safe than sorry
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:54:59 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Yes, deviled eggs really do not keep well.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:55:01 PM EST] <KK> Again, I wouldn't risk it. Once they're boiled and out of their shells, they don't last forever.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:55:03 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> You could make them the night before.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:55:08 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Don't take chances with eggs
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:55:20 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Or anything involving mayonnaise
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:55:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> OUCH! Eggs are expensive.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:55:35 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> But I wouldn't make them any earlier than the night before, and for the love of all that's holy, put them in a sealed container in the fridge overnight.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:56:00 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Yes, DR. Sealed.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:56:32 PM EST] <The_Bee> Oh, well. I still have peanut-butter and chocolate fudge.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:56:35 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> At least you won't have to worry about what to eat for lunches and dinners this week.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:56:48 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> If it's for a church lunch (like right after service), you should be okay to make them Saturday evening, fridge them overnight, and stick them in the fridge at the church during the service; wait until people are lining up with plates to bring them out of the fridge.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:56:52 PM EST] <KK> How many did you make? Any nice neighbors you could share them with?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:56:53 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Fudge is good
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:56:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> That will lay for awhile
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:57:16 PM EST] * bynw will be making some fudge in december
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:57:26 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Mmm fudge
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:57:30 PM EST] <The_Bee> 15 eggs, 30 halves. I ate two halves.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:57:40 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Chocolate cheescake for Christmas
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:57:41 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Fudge being eaten up usually prevents any preservation problems.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:57:56 PM EST] <KK> True, HM.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:58:01 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Well, how can you know whether it turned out properly if you don't sample it? 😄
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:58:06 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Deviled eggs wouldn't last long around me.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:58:12 PM EST] <KK> Preisely.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:58:21 PM EST] <KK> Precisely.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:58:31 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Or around my family
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:58:52 PM EST] <The_Bee> They've been a hit before. I make my deviled eggs with feta cheese.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:59:07 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Interesting, Bee
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:59:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> If I didn't want to eat them just as-is, I'd chop them up with a bit of extra mayo to make a deviled egg salad for sandwiches.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:59:15 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I love them made with sweet pickle relish and mustard
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [7:59:21 PM EST] <KK> Hmmmm, sounds yummy!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:00:08 PM EST] <KK> All kinds of good things can be rustled up with deviled eggs.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:00:18 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Mayo and the juice from sweet pickles/sweet relish, just a little mustard, but I couldn't give you quantities because it's one of those "when it looks right" recipes for me, LOL
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:00:27 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> cobb salad with deviled eggs
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:00:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Y'all are making me hungry for deviled eggs now
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:00:44 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Or a chef salad with deviled eggs.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:00:45 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Yes, mayo, too.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:00:49 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> and egg salad sandwiches
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:01:23 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> And I sprinkle a little paprika on top for looks mainly, but if I'm making them for a crowd, I'll leave half of them paprika-free.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:01:25 PM EST] <HoundMistress> I love those, too.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:01:30 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> Open faced egg salad sandwich on toast with tomatoes and shredded cheese
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:01:52 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Ooooooooooh 🤤
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:02:06 PM EST] <KK> Mmmmm, sounds delicious!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:02:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Honestly with egg salad, I might skip the cheese but the toast and tomatoes sound like a heavenly combination.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:02:56 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> A little freshly cracked black pepper on top . . .
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:03:06 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <jerusha2> I put cheese on almost everything, except ice cream
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:03:08 PM EST] <HoundMistress> When I worked in downtown Dallas, there was a little mom & pop place run by an Asian couple. You could go in and order an egg salad sandwich & they would chop up the whole eggs and add the ingredient right in front of you.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:03:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Those little hole-in-the-wall restaurants tend to have the best food.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:03:43 PM EST] <HoundMistress> They do! You just have to find them.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:03:55 PM EST] <The_Bee> I used to like egg salad sandwiches with chopped cucumber instead of lettuce.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:04:07 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> A friend of mine and I found a Middle Eastern treasure of that sort a few months ago. The ambience ain't much, but the food is out of this world.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:04:32 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Ooo! Sounds good, DR!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:05:03 PM EST] <KK> Makin' me hungry here!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:05:06 PM EST] <HoundMistress> OK, how many of us are making either deviled eggs or egg salad sandwiches tomorrow?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:05:13 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> lol
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:05:21 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Me
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:05:25 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Stuck in a strip mall between a convenience store and a laundromat, and big skewers of shawarma roasting visible from the front door.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:05:56 PM EST] <KK> That sounds really good!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:06:17 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Yes, it does!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:06:19 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> It was.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:06:46 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> And my shawarma wrap made two meals; it was huge. I ate half for supper before the theatre and the rest for supper the next day.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:07:21 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That sounds so good
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:07:33 PM EST] <KK> I love meals like that, where half can get save for the next day.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:07:45 PM EST] <KK> saved
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:07:58 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I need to take Mom to eat there. I wish I could nag my stepdad into it; he'd like the food if he'd let himself.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:08:10 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Bring him some takeout?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:08:32 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> That's a possibility.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:08:55 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> "We've eaten, so we're not cooking. But here are some leftovers we brought home for you."
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:09:14 PM EST] <KK> Shouldwork.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:09:15 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Next time: "Remember the yummy leftovers? Want to go with us to that place?"
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:09:17 PM EST] <HoundMistress> LOL!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:09:35 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> What's the difference between shawarma and gyro?
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:09:42 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> And I mean, you can be a "meat and potatoes" guy all you want when there are huge skewers of roasting meat front and center.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:10:48 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Shawarma/gyro/donor kabob all seems very similar to me, though I know there must be some distinction, since the Middle Eastern place near my office served both gyro meat and shawarma.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:10:51 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I'm not sure. There isn't much difference; it may just be seasoning or maybe gyro meat is cooked differently. Shawarma is sliced thin, marinated, and then the slices are stacked on big vertical skewers that rotate and roast the meat from the outside in.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:11:00 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Kebab is usually chunks rather than slices.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:11:08 PM EST] <KK> SOUNDS LIKE IT'S WORTH A TRY.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:11:37 PM EST] <KK> Whoops, Daphne stepped on the caps lock.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:11:43 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi Daphne
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:11:44 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Interesting tidbit: Gyro, Shawarma, and Döner are all words derived from a word for "spinning".
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:11:45 PM EST] <The_Bee> https://www.allrecipes.com/article/gyro-vs-shawarma/
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:11:46 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> LOL!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:12:09 PM EST] <The_Bee> GMTA!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:14:12 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I so need to find a Greek restaurant now...
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:14:27 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I have one just a few miles down the road from me
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:14:41 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And there is an even better (but much pricier) one downtown
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:14:54 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> But worth the price if you've got it to spend
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:15:01 PM EST] <The_Bee> A tv show mentioned a new Greek restaurant near me.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:15:49 PM EST] <The_Bee> He said the price was very reasonable
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:16:53 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> That was the other thing about Damaskino; the prices were extremely reasonable, especially given the sheer amount of food. My friend got one of those appetizer sampler platters (she's vegetarian) and she had enough leftovers for another meal as well, and even with a generous tip, we got out of there for about $30 for the pair of us.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:17:21 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Nice!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:17:42 PM EST] <The_Bee> I belong to a website called Restaurant.com that sells discount vouchers.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:18:22 PM EST] <KK> Exploring new restaurants is always fun. When Cameron was here for my birthday, we went to a new Guatemalan place down by the train station. Quite good.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:18:34 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Ooh, that sounds yummy!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:18:38 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> that sounds fun
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:18:51 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Not sure I've ever had Guatemalan food, or if I have, it's been decades.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:18:59 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Peruvian is good, too.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:19:33 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Cuban is delicious too, even if sometimes the names leave something to be desired.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:20:04 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Yes, Cuban pork sandwiches are delicious!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:20:32 PM EST] <KK> Think tapas. Ad for dessert, we split a fried ice cream, which was excellent.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:20:55 PM EST] <The_Bee> If you're dining with a group, have each person order a different dish; then let everyone sample each dish.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:21:21 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Ropa vieja (which is a dish of slowly braised sliced beef with peppers and tomatoes, usually served over rice with fried plantain slices on the side) literally means "old clothes," (because that's what it looks like, clothes in a dye bath). But the ridiculous name aside, it's yummmmmmmm.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:23:16 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Hey, y'all, I'm signing out. There's a thing on Australian actors on CBS. Everyone have a great week!!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:23:29 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> See you later, HM
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:23:34 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Speaking of desserts, if you ever go to the Cheesecake Factory and want to try the strawberry shortcake, make sure there are at least three people wanting to eat it. It's delicious but enormous.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:23:34 PM EST] <KK> Ack, this talk of food makes me want to head for the kitchen, and my stiffening knee agrees. I'll sign off now, and see you next week.
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:23:36 PM EST] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Later, HM!
[Sunday, November 17, 2024] [8:23:44 PM EST] <HoundMistress> Later, gator.
