regarding a trip to france next summer and my past pastry obsession...


Dh: You know honey, since you've given up bread what are you going to do when we go to france? You won't be able to any croissants!

Me: Are you kidding? If i make it to france i'm eating my way through every patisserie i can find. I'll be horribly miserable and bloated and gassy and pimply and probably drunk but you'll just have to deal with me.

Dh: You'll be drunk?

Me: Well since i can only bring one bottle of wine back with me, i'll just have to drink all the wine when i'm there!

Dh: So i'll be touring france with my fat, drunk and flatulent wife.

Me: Exactly!

Dh: Now there's the wife i married!

10 minutes later...

Me: Are you calling me a fat drunk?

i lol'd!!!!

Not when it's -20 to - 40 for 6 months..

I BBQ year round in those conditions. Parka and mitts on, touque & hood snugged. Most of the time I can still get the steaks to the proper doneness while figuring in the effects of the temperatures on cooking time. Only time it doesn't work so well is when it's too windy.

In Awe... I hibernate in those weathers..

My diagnosis: she's practicing Munchausen by proxy.

Nope, regular Munchausen. Munchausen by proxy is hurting someone else for pity (the "proxy"), and, as she is harming herself, it is regular Munchausen.

Same goes for white stuff on the ground.

My fault, sorry.

Ah, see, my sexist assumption was that she was shopping for her family. But it hurts her too, true enough.

My fault, sorry.

*PFFFTTT* Classic! Get a towel...

My fault, sorry.

Yesterday I saw a woman contemplating the bucket of Lard in the grocery. She didnt want to buy a big bucket because her recipe only called for 3T of lard. I said to just use bacon grease. Filter it if the bacon taste would interfere in the recipe. She looked at me like I was nuts, said "but bacon grease is soooooooo unhealthy" <WTF? EVEN if you think that ...how is lard different?> "...I'll just use Crisco".

LOL. Yowza. You know when I was young (way back when) I used to mock the bucket of lard at the asian market. Now I'm slapping myself! I was watching Fathead (again) yesterday at work (listening) and it just irritates me that they used to use lard for french fries and Coconut Oil for movie popcorn and because dumb people did dumb stuff, now everybody uses crap. We are a crazy country.
