Back from a little supper with Mr. Kevin Spirtas - we had some fun and I had some chicken soup and a ham sandwich at the Edison Cafe - the soup was very good and made me feel a bit better. I got a couple of packets of EmergenC on the way home. It's still most humid out.

I'm not returning to the Delta Grill for the reasons Jose states - acute nausea and now throat problems. Not going to take a chance.

I love the soup at the Edison Cafe

Well I have a few things to do before THE CLOSER, so I better get to them

Thanks DR Jane.

I visited my nephew - about an hour from Broadbeach. I did not swim with the Dolphins this time. They are just recovering from the last trauma.

A Huntsman spider. They move very quickly! They will often come into the house when rain is threatening. They usually live under the bark of trees. They are not dangerous (though can bite) but are nevertheless creatures with which do not like sharing space.

It is more frightening when you see one climbing up the windshield of the car - on the inside - when you are driving. They will often be in care inside cars for the warmth of the care engine - and them move into the car itself when the car is started.

AOL just gets weirder and weirder. I just went to change screen names to check mail and I got "Account Invalid" and it logged me off. I went back to my primary name and got the same message. I called. One ring, nothing. Then a voice says "techinical difficulties - before we connect you you'll have to answer a couple of questions" Silence. No questions. Now it's working again.

I have been busy the last two days baking almond macaroons. The first batch came out ok, so I tweaked the recipe a bit & made another batch. I made the first batch in my mini food processor & baked all of 4 small cookies. These were used as a taste recipe & I only have half a cookie left.

This morning I made a second, larger batch. Since there wasn’t room in the mini food processor to add the egg whites into the ground almond & sugar mixture, I beat the egg whites first and then added them. While the second batch was tastier the consistency wasn’t very good & the cookies just melted down when I baked them. To add insult to injury they stuck to the parchment paper.

I made a third batch, with the tweaked recipe, in the mini food processor & baked all of three cookies with it. They look lovely, however, I have no idea how they taste. I’m saving the three lovely cookies to sit on top of the pathetic looking, in multiple pieces, 2nd batch I’m taking to my book group discussion tomorrow. It seems silly to keep baking 3 cookies at a time just to get an entire batch of pretty cookies, nor can I bear to eat another almond macaroon right now. There will also be brownies & pumpkins bars if no one wants to eat my almond macaroons.

They are truly pathetic looking & I'm not so sure how good they taste.

I would not like a big spider inside my car.

I can handle one or two in the house, if they don't bite. We would catch the spider, if possible, and put it outside.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #287 on:** September 10, 2007, 06:17:43 PM »

DR Jane - Well... Almonds, egg whites and sugar... They can't be that pathetic tasting. Maybe pathetic looking. -Just crumble them up and use them for an ice cream topping.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #288 on:** September 10, 2007, 06:20:16 PM »

BK - As far as Delta Grill... Frankly, I think it was just indulgence on top of indulgence... The corn bread with butter... The fried okra (for me)... The fried oysters (for me)... The fried catfish (for you)... And the mac'n'cheese... -Oh, and the Levain cookies earlier in the day.

-Was Alet feeling OK?

Jane · « **Reply #289 on:** September 10, 2007, 06:28:00 PM »

You forgot the almond extract (thought some recipes called for vanilla).

Topping for ice cream sounds yummy. I'll have to go get more. I found using Baking sugar (Castor sugar) worked better than regular sugar.

That's precisely what I would do, too!

I love the picture, though, tomovoz; I'm one of those people who actually LIKES spiders - all kinds of them.
Since vixmom is away right now, I guess it would be safe to say that to hold a tarantula and listen to its tick-tock-like purring is quite an experience.

Don't do that!!! Outside is where I'll be a soon as the spider is spotted inside!!

OK I'll go to Australia if you come along and be in charge of spider spotting and removal sercices

We, including Keith, Bryan & Craig, all held a tarantula at a country fair & I don't remember any purring. Maybe it was a wolf spider & not a tarantula.

You have to stroke it, like you'd stroke a cat to get it to purr.
