Good morning all! 

Vibes to VixMom and hopes she feels better soon.

This time change has me all mixed up.  I can't get past eight o'clock without going to bed.  I think I'll be better once I can sleep in this weekend.

Have a Wonder Filled day all!

Well, Minnesota came through for me. I was worried for a while (although they did re-elect Ms. Bachman, though by a very, very, very small plurality) but they defeated the Constitutional Amendment banning Marriage Equality!

AND the Judge in Iowa who was up for re-certification (usually just a pro-forma affair but he was one of the judges who affirmed Marriage Equality in Iowa and was targeted by the Religious Right and NOM for defeat) was retained!

AND Tammy Baldwin went from Open Lesbian U.S. House Member from Wisconsin to Open Lesbian Senator from Wisconsin!

Hooray for the Midwest.

Title: Re: WE NOW RETURN YOU TO OUR REGULAR PROGRAMMING
Post by: ChasSmith on November 07, 2012, 05:12:05 AM
I've been craving great donuts since yesterday's conversations about Stan's.  To make matters worse, I was actually a little hungry while waiting for sleep to overtake me last night.  It just happens I'd had a lighter than usual dinner, which would explain that -- and normally, big deal, if hungry I'd just get up and grab a snack.  Right?

But I kept thinking about the damn apple fritters and peanut butter.  And the dollar bag.  (Stop that!!)  So, while nothing will approach Stan's, and there's nothing at all peanut-buttery around here that I've ever known of, and all we have donut-shop-wise is the bland, ubiquitous Dunkin' (love their coffee, though), it just happens that the bakery in Shop Rite, my regular supermarket, does a very nice job with several things, including donuts, and I vowed to resign myself to getting up and running out for some this morning.  A total indulgence.

As it happens, I didn't get nearly enough sleep, which leaves me without any appetite whatever for a while.  But I'm up and the first cup of coffee is working its wonders, as is writing these paragraphs, so once again, this sounds like a plan.  And I'm pretty sure they have a decent apple fritter.  Therefore, Indulgence, here I come.

The apple fritter isn't frittery enough.  Not by a long shot.  They make a great donut and glaze, etc., there, but this doesn't touch the good California fritters.  Nevertheless, the few things I picked out for myself are incredibly delicious and satisfying.

You know what you hardly ever see here?  Bear claws.  Maybe that's more a California thing. 

Rightly or wrongly, I seem to associate good bear claws with former supermarkets Hughes and Boys Markets.

Walked to the car this morning (earlier than usual, because I had a lot of work to do). And I discovered someone had smashed in the rear window on the driver's side. What a way to start the day. It took an extra hour to get it replaced. Ugh. Ugh all around. Am running around like crazy now. But I needed a two-minute break just to get revved up again.

OH NO! John G I am so sorry to hear this

Jennifer, a casserole can have anything that you want and nothing that you don't. 

No matter what the recipe says, "do what you like with it" (a 1776 reference)!

That's good.  Quite a few years ago, a friend of mine had his car broken into and all of his music (songbooks, vocal scores, etc.) were stolen.  He was a vocal coach/instructor and practically EVERYTHING that he used for his job was taken. :P

The apple fritter isn't frittery enough.  Not by a long shot.  They make a great donut and glaze, etc., there, but this doesn't touch the good California fritters.  Nevertheless, the few things I picked out for myself are incredibly delicious and satisfying.

You know what you hardly ever see here?  Bear claws.  Maybe that's more a California thing. 

Rightly or wrongly, I seem to associate good bear claws with former supermarkets Hughes and Boys Markets.

Maybe it is a West Coast thing, because we have them in Washington, also.  Oh, and also the pastry version.

Maybe it is a West Coast thing, because we have them in Washington, also.  Oh, and also the pastry version.
The French version of bear claws are available at the French bakeries here. A little lighter on the almond extract and more emphasis on the butter with an almond note.

Kentucky has this delicious fried pie with dried apples that they do in winter. Just wonderful. Now you've made me hungry. Oh, wait. I'm conscious; that explains it.

Do tater tot casseroles always have ground beef in them?  I like ground beef. But the idea of the casserole sounds more appealing to me without the beef.

The beauty of makjing your own casserole is you can put anything you want in it :)

I'd just never heard of a tater tot casserole till a few days ago. So not sure if the ground beef is a common ingredient.

I always use ground beef, but didn't someone else mention chicken?

Home from school.

Yesterday, I went to the storage unit and went through all of my sheet music and pulled out things to scan into PDF's for my playing gig on the weekends.  I use an iPad for all my music, so everything is portable.  But the scanning that I have to do is probably more than I want, oh well, it's all good.  It was like Christmas shopping in the storage unit.  I found some things that I forgot I had, etc.

Walked to the car this morning (earlier than usual, because I had a lot of work to do). And I discovered someone had smashed in the rear window on the driver's side. What a way to start the day. It took an extra hour to get it replaced. Ugh. Ugh all around. Am running around like crazy now. But I needed a two-minute break just to get revved up again.

The apple fritter isn't frittery enough.  Not by a long shot.  They make a great donut and glaze, etc., there, but this doesn't touch the good California fritters.  Nevertheless, the few things I picked out for myself are incredibly delicious and satisfying.

Rightly or wrongly, I seem to associate good bear claws with former supermarkets Hughes and Boys Markets.

Well I went first with my own lady giving the shots. My sister went first, then younger niece, then older niece. They said that the youngest should go first. Cause when they see the needle they get upset. But if my sister hadn't gone first then how would she have taken care of my niece (who was crying way more AFTER the shot).

Not necessarily. Depends on the temperature in the upper levels of the atmosphere and where it is pulling the cold air from. Snow can accumulate up to 35 degrees depending on the temperatures aloft, ground temperature and dewpoint.

I went to get my flu shot today. The ones near me are only in December. But my sister wanted me to go with her. My niece bawled like a baby. :(
But so did the 4 year old after her.

Next year let the older one go first & tell her to be brave for her sister.

It makes more sense for you to go with your sister & niece's instead of waiting until December.

Well I went first with my own lady giving the shots. My sister went first, then younger niece, then older niece. They said that the youngest should go first. Cause when they see the needle they get upset. But if my sister hadn't gone first then how would she have taken care of my niece (who was crying way more AFTER the shot). We should have let my older niece go first, but she didn't want to. Cause she was quite anxious by the time it was her turn.

Then why not split the kids up and one go with you?

Well i went first. So i was done before they started.  They my sister went. Then the little one sat on my sister's lap and cried. Then i took her away. Then my older niece went next on my sister's lap.Apparently she was a bit teary and anxious.

And some of us (and them too, I'm sure) have more than one e-mail address. ::)

I just realized that if power were to be lost again here, we're past the point of decision  -- there'd be no question of trying to get anywhere for the night.  First, my driveway probably isn't passable.  House is warm now, just bundle it up and ride it out, storm will be gone by mid-morning, gather things in the daylight and then get out.  

I hate even thinking about this stuff...twice in two weeks.

Do tater tot casseroles always have ground beef in them?  I like ground beef. But the idea of the casserole sounds more appealing to me without the beef.

The beauty of makjing your own casserole is you can put anything you want in it :)

I'd just never heard of a tater tot casserole till a few days ago. So not sure if the ground beef is a common ingredient.

Yes, it is a common ingredient.  In fact i don't think i've had it without ground beef, but it could be done with chicken or something else

I think i would just like the tater tots with no meat!



Tater tots by themselves are eaten like French fries.  I would think they would make a pretty boring casserole by themselves.

I talked to the flutes at band tonight about starting our own flute choir.   Most indicated they would play if it was local or have students play if it was local, but some didn't want to take away from the other flute choir.  Hmmm the other one is 30 miles away.  They never perform here, and I'm the only person from our group who plays in it.  I probably would continue to play in both, but that group is down to about 5-6 people. I don't see how having our own group takes away from that one.

Ok, I'm tired.  I wrote a brief this morning.  I don't mind doing them, but it takes a lot of concentration and focus to get it done on a deadline.  I've done one for the state supreme court and one for a state court judge (who wanted a lot more than I did in my pretrial brief) in the last week.  Plus the appointments all day, the phone calls, the client emergencies and trying to catch up on my cases.   I'm tired

I wrote on my briefs this morning, too.  It is always good to put my name in them, in case I forget where I left them.

I am surprised as well.  Of  course I haven't been out of the house today, so all I know I get from the TV news.

Well I am in a very very red part of the country.  Area wise, most of Iowa was red, it's only a few of the cities that determined the outcome for the state.
