Lola Bunny 06-18-2014 09:12 AM

I just had quiche, cafe latte, and a slice of ice cream cake for breakfast. Yeah....taking care of leftovers early in the morn. :rolleyes:

Nirvana 06-18-2014 10:35 AM

I had an English Muffin [close relative to a crumpet?] fresh blueberries, half an avocado salted, and a small piece of dark chocolate with hazelnuts. :P

Well, inasmuch as they're bready and you toast 'em:p

They've a very different texture.

crumpet:


Quote:

Crumpets are generally circular roughly 8 cm (3") in diameter and 2 cm (0.8") thick. Their shape comes from being restrained in the pan/griddle by a shallow ring. They have a characteristic flat top with many small pores and a chewy and spongy texture. They may be cooked until ready to eat warm from the pan, but are frequently left slightly undercooked so that they may be cooled and stored before being eaten freshly toasted.

footfootfoot 06-18-2014 11:04 AM

Boarshead Weisswurst, Broccoli Rabe with olive oil and garlic, and an avocado.

Thankyou:) very interesting.

Clodfobble 06-18-2014 11:42 AM

I just ate bacon, dipped in leftover hollandaise sauce. But I followed it up with a slice of zucchini bread, to assuage the guilt.

I just got chatted up by a man who looked like a Sontaran.
Guess why I stopped sitting out in the sun with my book and came home?

Stop making me learn stuff.

My work here is done.

learned that Hebe's boyfriend's mom thinks he should be consuming a maximum of 2,000 calories per day. he's 17, 6'2" and athletic (at least two workouts a day)

:eek: :rolleyes:

BigV 06-18-2014 03:47 PM

eating/mental disorders are contagious. she sounds like a carrier.

monster 06-18-2014 04:52 PM

indeed. Fortunately he has his head screwed on right. he is skinny, but not unnaturally so. And you can't stop a 17yo boy eating if they're set on it.

monster 06-18-2014 04:53 PM

She also won't let him cross 4-lane roads.

They all love it when Hebe goes to dinner because then they get pizza. And only then

Now don't quote me on this, but I suspect that not everyone posting on that site has the same rigorous attitude towards accuracy and truth that we are used to elsewhere on the Internet.

Other opinions are available.

Just finished season 2 of Orange is the new black. Good wrap up.

Sundae 06-19-2014 08:34 AM

I wish I'd just made love.
But in fact what happened was more useful, if just as squichy.

I found the reason for the increasingly jarring smell in my bathroom.
It was the towel I used to mop up the orange juice that Diz knocked over. Diz has been cleaned and combed and lost patches of hair and is now a clean smooth cat, albeit one who skitters at the sound of my indrawn breath, believing it's a prelude to BIG SHOUTING.

I didn't think about the fact that juice is a "live" product as it were.
I just put the towel with the clothes in the "dirty bin" to wash when I had enough whites to make up a reasonable sized washed. This is quite a nice piece of furniture which has a drawer for my meds on top and a hinged

BigV 06-19-2014 08:56 AM

I just wonder about the rest of your story, Sundae.

glatt 06-19-2014 09:02 AM

Years ago I stupidly did the same thing with a towel used to clean up an entire glass of spilled milk.

I left it in the basement by the washing machine for a couple days and it smelled like there was a dead animal down there. When I finally tracked down the smell, I felt really dumb.

Sundae 06-19-2014 09:04 AM

Bloody hell! The bacteria on the towel ate my post!
It was there. It was. Honest.

I can never recapture the sheer quality of the original.
But it was about having the stinky thing in the washing machine on boil wash right now.
And that this was more about an attempt to be ecologically sound by not washing every single item separately and not to do with me being a slattern.

DanaC 06-19-2014 09:14 AM

Years ago Momdigr had been to the grocery and couldn't find the gallon of milk she knew she'd just bought. At the time Mom & Popdigr's primary vehicle was an Isuzu Trooper II. The passenger compartment was roomy as hell, quite large. The back seat had about a foot of space on each outboard side of the seat. Time went by, and then the odor began. We finally found that the gallon of milk had slid off the seat, into the space between the 'wall' and the rear seat, aft of the door itself. It spoiled, of course, and the plastic jug split open, leaking milk into the carpet. For years after, when it would get particularly hot, we would get that sour milk odor. No amount of cleaning/steaming/vacuuming would get rid of that smell. I'll never forget it, as long as I live.:greenface

I just (about a week ago) won a scooter in a poker game.

It's an Adventure 150 Limited Edition, 2008 model.

Attachment 48790

It's been rode hard and put up wet a time or ten, and has some battle scars. Front tire loses air pressure slowly, takes a few days to go completely flat. Good news there, is, the tire sidewall is stiff enough that you can ride it flat and the tire doesn't roll down and try to come off the rim like a car tire would, doesn't even rub the dirt off the outside of the tread, so if I'm caught away from home and it decides to go flat, I can still limp home, carefully. Missing one of the mirrors. It didn't like to start with the button, but, a three dollar spark plug later, and you can't get your finger off the button fast enough. It starts almost immediately. And the thing will do 45 mph from a standstill RFN!

All in all, counting the things it needs, not too bad for a last hand poker win. There was $225 in the pot, and dude wanted to raise with one last card coming. He asked and me and another guy agreed to allow him $200 dollars against the scooter. Two others folded right there.

I got it with four threes. Natural threes. Dude gave $750 for the scooter a couple years ago, it sold for around $1700 new.

Dude told me it was licensed til December and insured til April, and for me to "ride the wheels off of it". And I'm gonna.

DanaC 08-06-2014 03:02 PM

fargon 08-06-2014 04:06 PM

Kewl ride.

infinite monkey 08-06-2014 04:09 PM

That's sweet, grav. What hand did the guy have that he put his scooter on it?

glatt 08-06-2014 05:17 PM

Wow. I'd be folding too. To rich for my blood. But that's awesome you got a scooter! I'm jelly.

lumberjim 08-06-2014 05:30 PM

They are fun. Convenient as hell too.

I've never seen the complete film; just the scene where Uma Thurman dies of a cocaine overdose.

Somehow, over the years, I've walked through the room where my husband was watching a film and seen the one really disturbing scene in the entire film. My movie knowledge is pretty much confined to a specialized knowledge of intense, upsetting scenes.

As for life in general, you already know my philosophy is: I let it go.

infinite monkey 08-21-2014 08:24 AM

Uma (Mrs Mia Wallace) does not die of a cocaine overdose. She mistakes heroin for cocaine and overdoses by snorting a line.

*spoiler alert*

She is then revived when Vincent Vega (John Travolta) guided by Lance (Eric Stoltz) and his black medical book, administers an adrenaline shot to the heart, while his multi-pierced wife Jody (Rosanna Arquette) looks on in fascination. Quotes that come to mind:

That was fuckin' trippy.

A magic marker! A black magic marker! A felt tip pen!

I never seen no black medical book.

I gotta...I gotta stab her three times?

God that scene is brilliant. Really, the entire film is quotable. The entire film is brilliant. I feel sorry for those who haven't seen it or don't get it. And, the first time my ex tried to make me watch it I lost interest at the start. I wasn't in the right frame of mind. Now, I've seen it over and over and over. I always make a new connection. Pulp Fiction quotes pop up in my mind as much as Seinfeld quotes do.

Dogs eat their own feces.

I don't eat dog, either.


Is it really 20 years old? Yikes.

Sundae 08-21-2014 09:10 AM

Hang on Limes. Really?
I hated it when it first came out because it was so violent and I seriously did not understand how and why anyone would quote the mundane script.

How could you enjoy this and not Utopia?!
Island traitor.

Although I have to admit I did change my opinion of Pulp Fiction.
It grew on me. I became less squeamish over the years.
The seeming banality of the script gave way to so many quotable lines as Infi says.

Yay for this weekend and watching the episodes of Utopia I missed.
AND the Doctor.
I thought I'd be in hospital by the time it came on. Sigh. But any kind of doctor will do, right?
