The Isolated Blurt Thread XIII: I'll Gladly Pay You Tuesday for Slap and Tickle Today

[CandiCame]

There's like 3 feet of snow. No one is going anywhere. There's more snow than there is BiteSize. I put a bunch of clothes on her and threw her into it and now EVERYONE is pissed at me. I thought she would like it! I loved snow when I was little and she loves being tossed into soft things. Also the snow is taller than the dog and he got lost in it. We've been up for like half an hour and it's already been a great day.

I guess we're just gonna build a fire and stay in and be cozy as shit.

I will of course post all of my pics on the FB, but I wanted to share what was flying on top of the second castle I was staying at.

Can you guess who was thrilled about it?

A DRAGON?!?

 

[Wife of Bath]

You all have inspired me to make some marmalade today.

Ahem....




I looked at the commercial stuff last night. With the first listed ingredient as high fructose corn syrup, I passed. I'll check out a farmer's market soon.

I'm on a mega diet so I won't be eating it anyway, it just seems a shame not to make some with all the beautiful citrus right now. I have boxes of half-pint canning jars I was planning to use to give it away, if you'd like to try some.

It really is the easiest thing in the world to make your own - with all the pectin the the fruit, you just need the fruit, water, a little lemon juice, and ordinary sugar - not even jam sugar. A jam thermometer is a nice bonus, but you can even avoid this - when you think it's ready, tip a little onto a chilled saucer. If it wrinkles after 30 seconds or so, it's ready. Pour into sterilized jars. It's ready to eat as soon as it cools, but because of the sugar will last for months if you want. Decent recipe here, but there are hundreds.

I'm looking forward to making pancakes for Shrove Tuesday. I love traditions.

I don't think there is a single thread in my past that I'd like to bump.


Nope.

I'm afraid that I'm going to have to insist that the Earth's axis return to a more moderate inclination.

More cold for Yankeeland:

I keep telling people, we never should have taken those rocks off the moon.

We can put a man on the moon (supposedly) but we can't figure out how to keep the top of the Earth tilted toward the Sun.

It's just outrageous.

I almost never remember my dreams. Why is it that when I do, they are bad dreams?

Is this a good or a bad omen?

Pancakes, marmalade, toilet births, and the Earth's tilt. I love this thread.

How to cook the perfect crepes.

Plus sugar. Plus lemon. Heavenly.

Half a foot of snow here. I'm going to have to walk to my parents' house and borrow a snow shovel. Light and fluffy, though.

Ignore it, it will go away.

Usually it melts within a day, but it's actually going to stay cold this time. SJ has failed me.

Chili is simmering away on the stove, torturing me with its scent.

It can be really fun here sometimes.

Until...our misery vampire awakens to feed, that is.
