for all of the chocolate/ marzipan lovers: Ritter's (the squares) makes AMAZING dark chocolate and marzipan bars... available at Trader Joe's. their plain dark chocolate bars also make excellent hot chocolate.
oooh! has anyone else seen the cookbook "Hot Chocolate" by Michael Turbeck?? i never imagined that there were so many variations! (you can get it at William Sonoma). the hot chocolate pudding looks super tasty, though i've yet to try it.
and Ben and Jerry's scoop shops have SUCH good melted ice cream- hot chocolate... i'm going there tonight for my birthday :D :D *yay*
re: languages-- that is so cool BMo3! :cool: I love hearing about other linguafiles! :D
I speak Spanish fluently (just got back from 3 months of research in Guatemala) and have tried to learn Mandarin, French, Quechua (Incan language), and Chu'j (a Mayan language)...
I speak French like a Spanish cow (as I believe the French saying goes). and oddly enough I ended up translating Quechua into Mandarin while I was studying it (the grammar is really similar at the very basic level!). i can say maybe five pretty much worthless words in Chu'j (red, thank you, long-needled pine tree, short-needled pine tree, woman). I understand French, Italian, and Portuguese, but any attempts to speak those come out as Spanish :p
i hope i'll have space in my class schedule next semester to pick up Mandarin again, though it's been a few years... languages are fun!! I want to learn Italian too just so i can travel there and bring my bike and take cooking classes... (notice how food and bikes are the priority) :p
anywho... keep drifting... :D
Does Pig Latin count? Oh wait....I can't even speak that! :rolleyes: I'm challenged enough just keeping up with one language. I envy those of you who can master more than one. Keep it up, because the rest of us need you around!
Ohh, I just noticed this post. I´m glad that you enjoyed the cake. Ours turned out pretty well too, although I shall have to try the variation with berries on top - what a great idea.Quote:

Bmomo3, you need a masters in physics to be a SAHM :D ;) :cool: :rolleyes: It's a job requirement.Quote:

Naw.. Duck.. you just have to used to American love of acronyms...
stay at home mom
Took me a bit too...
BTW, BMO3.. you continue to amaze me. :)
OMG...:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :confused: :confused:
1300+ bucks to replace the water heater?? mumble mumble expletive expletive..
That's a freaking new bike :rolleyes: :mad: :cool: :(
Ah, the "Oys" of home ownership.
Could always get the bike and have cold showers?
My dentist told me last year that it'll cost me twice that to fix my broken tooth.Quote:

Pain? what pain? You don't have to chew Gu, anyway! Hey, lets go for a bike ride!
(((( Knott )))) :(
we need to find you a job at a clinic with better dental plan and fewer idjiot manager/coworkers.
Afternoon all, we just finished moving the last freaking thing from the old apartment to the new one!!!!!!!! I'm so sick of moving I could scream!
Now it's time to settle in and relax and watch the newly unearthed tv. :D
Queen, I'm so confused, I thought you two were looking to buy. :confused:
Nice.. spent the day cleaning up my bike ... Was worried after a day in the rain. Plus she deserves it after the Cindy and the Tierra Bella (and the rides between).
Gave her a nice bath with my new bike repair stand that came in. Ultimate Pro Elite. Got it with my REI 20% and money from Xmas "to go buy a bike repair stand."
Got to take off her front and rear wheels and the chain. Gave the rear cassette a nice brushing as well as the chain.
Lubed her up and put her back together again.
So nice to have to break my back and so nice to be able to angle her however I need her to get to all the nooks and crannies.
Happy bike.. I hope everything works after this. Did I say I love the master link thing!?
We were, we looked at about 20 houses and none of them really tripped our trigger. That combined with a wildly fluctuating market we decided to wait another year.Quote:

Rain rain rain rain rain rain.......
Some of the main highways around us were closed due to flooding. Lots of basements flooded out. Happily we put in an upgraded new sump pump last year in our basement, and it's working fine.
No biking that's for sure. More rain over the next few days. Looks like no rain letup until Thursday when it will be "only" a 30% chance of rain.
The only good thing in it for me is that I am slowly getting caught up on my paperwork and regular work too. Working my way through the annoying paper piles on my desk, you know the To Do paperwork stuff. Rainy grey days are great for working at one's desk.
Lydia the cat is looking a little teeny bit better each week. My 3 cats all seem to love their new organic Paul Newman's dry cat food that I've switched to. Nobody's hurling anymore- a good sign! (knock on wood)
Great news about Lydia! :) Today is a beautiful day. I have all the windows open and airing out the house while I can. More rain is supposed to come here tomorrow. :confused: I thought I sent all the bad weather to Lisa. :p Oh well, I shall continue to enjoy the sun and low humidity while I can. :cool:
Was this one the 4th? There was a bit of drifting.
It's where you announce that you had cheerios for dinner and farted three times yesterday.Quote:

LOL, great, a 10 yo boy thread...
Well, sometimes they tickle.
This must be the 4th because I just got an email notification and I only do that with TD-type threads.
Yep, this was it.Quote:
