How right you are! BTW- my NYC friends thanked me later. It could've been a really boring night.
scem0 said:Yup.
Would this 'tar be too risque (or should I say risgay
_Emerson
Ha-ha! No, I think it's fine. You might want to check with the mods though.
And scem0, you are the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life.
you're not too bad yourself, Lee . Thank you .
I love how I had no idea he was doing that till looking at the pic today.
Any mods listening out there? Would it be okay to use the image as an avatar?

Well thanks! But I think I already knew your opinion of me.
and I think your new av is within the realms of decency.

(yes, I am a wake of sorts. The night time cold meds did little to get me a full nights sleep
Ticked off about this cold. A great two days off weatherwise, and so much going on in the city - the marathon, Rosa Parks lying in state tonite and tomorow. But I am paying the price of trying to work through this cold, instead of taking it easy.)
hey kids.. just thought i'd say hi i know ur all asleep *or showering* or wotever.. i just got back from a big long walk around brisbane.. its such a nice city. but isn't it strange that u can walk along a road, and turn into a street and be like.. hmm i don't think this is as safe as i'd like it to be, but ur french boyfriend doesn't seem to notice a problem... weird.. i wonder if there is some social conditioning there or something.. oh well.. im tired.. i could just be over thinking it.. hehe

Maybe us Aussies should set up a revival discussion to the some of the other chatting that has been going on in here?!?!
[oops DJY runs to hide]
I haven't walked tonight - but instead sitting outside on my balcony, beautiful 17" PB on my lap, listening to music (via airTunes of course), as a nice gentle breeze makes me realise it is great to live in Australia...
oh yeah did I mention the nice glass of red wine? Has only been the one though before anyone suggests otherwise.
hmm i wish i could do that eh! ... would be nice to have a balcony big enough for a chair... but.. i can dream hehe.. well alas it is my bed time now... although... i do like the idea of a rival chat for us on the flip-side.. hehe

Hey Em, was just looking at the photos and noticed that Graham Norton was on some of them. He is a really famous (gay) commedian over here in UK. Did you see him?
Looks like he got off with someone
People say I'm gay beacuse I kissed a boy by accident but it's not true. That's annoying! I love girls sooo much but that stupid incident. I have a girlfriend but people don't understand.
Because I was young and I didn't know english, and my friends said to do it then I did a little kiss on the lips and it got spread around the school, the annoying point, is that they know I'm not gay but still said to people I did that.rendezvouscp said:Someone has some explaining on how this "accident" occurred.

So annoying please help me.
Thank You
Not a lot to say
Sorry if I was oblivious to your esteemed presence. I guess I couldn't have had much to say, just for a change. He he he.

Umm, Oh yeah, it was 10.42 PM in NZ when you posted, and I'd stayed on line while Lord of the Rings, the second one was on local TV. If I remember correctly I was well caned and a silly smile on my face. Don't know when I went to bed, but the TV and lights were still on when I surfaced this morning !!!scem0 said:

I procrastinate too much. I'm still trying to get my school homework done. I wait till like an hour before its due.DJY said:
I would love to sit on a balcony over a view of trees and a small lake or a big pond. In a dark sky on a cloudless night, with the stars above twinkling everytime someone kisses their lover. With the sound of the wind, and the taste of a cool breeze with someone to cuddle with. Listening to the beat of their heart and their breathing.
Oatmeal Raisin Date Cookies
Just thought I would share, this is my own Recip. I made a batch yesterday and the cookies were a hit. Enjoy
Oatmeal Raisin Date Cookies
3 Cups TOTAL- Old Wessex Irish Style Oatmeal (Green Lid at Whole Foods)
2 cups for processing into flour
1 cup set aside
2 cups Pecans (toasted and finely chopped)
1/2 tsp. ground Nutmeg
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground Allspice
1/2 tsp ground Cloves
1/8 tsp. ground Cardamom (1/8 tsp. only, too much is overpowering)
seeds from 1 Vanilla Bean
- > * (If Vanilla bean is not available, add 1 TBS of Vanilla Extract to butter)
Zest of 1 Orange (Grated or finely minced)
Zest of 1 Lemon (Grated or finely minced)
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1 Cup Powdered Sugar (Have a sealable container large enough for sugar plus spices)
2 cups raisins
2 cups Bahri Dates
1/2 cup Butter
2 extra large eggs
Oven pre-heated to 350
oiled cookie sheets
Wire cooling rack
---------------------
(SPICES AND SUGAR)
Combine all spices together. Add combined spices to powdered sugar.
Close sealable container and shake sugar and spices until thoroughly mixed.
Set aside of 5 minutes, shake mixture again. Let sugar settle and the remove lid. With a large spoon carefully compact sugar down, until sugar and spices are packed like a brick. Cover and Set aside or at least 1 hour, overnight is best. By doing so, you are infusing the sugar with the scent and flavors of the spices. This helps to amplify and carry the flavors throughout the cookie batter.
(OATMEAL & PECANS)
Place 2 cups oatmeal PLUS infused sugar in a food processor, and pulse into a fine flour.
Add remaining 1 cup of oatmeal 2 cups of toasted chopped pecans and sugar mixture, Pulse just until incorporated, don't over process ( this will help create texture)
Place flour mixture into a large bowl and set aside.
(FRUIT)
DATES - Bahri Dates are are about the size of a large grape, very sweet and extremely sticky! This step is a little time consuming.
Start by selecting one Date, carefully cut date into rough quarters and remove pit.
Drop each quarter of date seperately into flour mixture, then roll each segment of date with a utensil till covered by flour mixture. This will help keep Date pieces separate and from sticking together, ensuring even distribution of Dates though cookie batter.
Step and repeat for all dates.
RAISINS - Place two cups of raisins in a microwave safe bowl, fill bowl with enough water to submerge raisins. Microwave for 1- 2 minutes until water is hot. remove from microwave and cover and set aside for at least 20 minutes. This will help re-hydrate the raisins, creating soft plump raisins in the final cookies. When raisins are re-hydrated drain water off and add raisins into dry batter and incorporate.
(BUTTER AND EGGS)
Cream butter until soft (with Vanilla Extract if using extract) add eggs and blend well, mixture might be lumpy, thats ok. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly incorporated. I use my hand for this step, easier and faster then trying to use a spoon, using a squeezing motion.
_______
(BAKING)
Oven should be pre-heated to 350
Oil or grease cookie sheets
Scoop out cookie dough, about the size of a small scoop of ice cream, using hands round each scoop into a ball, and pat down slightly into a patty shape (like making a hamburger) place onto oiled cookie sheet and bake for 15-20 min. To test Cookies should be slightly firm to touch and dry to touch. Remove from oven and cookie sheet place on wire cooling rack till cooled.

Well, just got back home from Day 2 of family "fun". I held back and didn't really go after my cousin, but we played football so I got a few good hits. He went out for a pass on one in the endzone, which happened to be right past these really prickly bushes. Right behind the bushes is about a 10 foot steep ditch. Well, I was covering him and needless to say I had a lil' fun on that down.
The teams today sucked. Me, My cousin "C" and then my other cousin who is about 10 years old...against a 17 yo, and two 16 yo's. My teammate "C" ended up almost breaking his leg b/c he got tackled sideways and his leg was turned and then he fell backwards into those prickle ybushes which cut him all up and then he got ate up by ants. We had to spray him down in Windex cuz of the ant bites. So, two hurt people and a 10 yo against 3 healty people, and we STILL won by a TD. Not too shabby.
My feet are SO messy. LOL They're covered in dirt...dang near black.
