The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

[MinnieM123]

I didn't take it that way at all. We are all good on this sight. No politics on some of the other sights though. We are friends on here!

I second that, Bets. @French Quarter , I think the moderators are just trying to keep everyone on a friendly tone here, as over the years, they've seen a number of political posts go south pretty quickly. So it's just a general comment that they make from time to time on here, and on some other threads as well. That's all it is, and certainly nothing personal directed toward you.

Okay, I have to admit I had my first serving of kale today with my other veggies. Not a fan, yet. It seems so much better raw. Will keep eating it, that's the way Brussels Sprouts started for me. Now they are one of my favorites!

Kale sounds awful. Can you douse it in melted cheese??!!

 

[MinnieM123]

It should be interesting with both him and @MR FERRET to keep him out of trouble

Oh lord . . . @Goofyernmost and @MR FERRET it's the blind leading the blind!!

 

[MinnieM123]

That's funny cuz I just discovered I like Brussels Sprouts! I like them sautéed and roasted.

You should try kale chips - those are super yummy! And extremely easy to make.

Yes he will. His costume has real candy attached. He should be popular

Jack hates anything put on him. He'll paw and bite whatever it is, until it comes off! His attitude is, "I'm not dressing up for humans. Just give me the treats!!"

Cauliflower mash can taste like mashed potatoes, if prepared correctly.

Nooooooooooooo . . . My Irish grandparents would strongly disagree with that! Blasphemy!! Cauliflower is not a potato, and is just a potato wannabe. Only potatoes are king!!

I'm not sure if I like the idea of ordering tickets as it's hard to plan this far in advance. At least it is for us because of the boys' activities. I'll also miss being on line with the fans in costume trying to figure out when they'll actually get in to see the movie.

I would have been okay with getting tickets a few days later. Hubby is the one who wants/needs to see it opening day, so I figured what they heck I might as well see it then. I remember camping out for various other lines for things, and it was fun but no thanks for me now. I like to plan ahead. I can see how changing schedules might mess up the planning ahead though.

By the way, my husband currently has tickets for three viewing of Star Wars. One showing with me and two back to back showings with his best friend from high school. I really can't say anything about it because I am equally obsessed with Disney.

I heard on the 4:30 AM news this morning that some of the computer online sites crashed last night, because so many people were trying to buy the movie tickets last night.

Yeah, my hubby got our tickets and his tickets to see the movie with his friend about an hour before the trailer premiered and basically didn't have any problems. He went back on after the trailer premiered to get another ticket and kept trying for hours and had no luck. So he was driving by the movie theater today and went in and bought the extra ticket he needed.

Not that? Come on, it is so cute! OK, how about this?

That is too cute, I could totally picture my dog in that.

How about (not together, but some ideas): cottage cheese, finely ground up, very mini bits of beef in tomato sauce (the sauce would soften the cooked, ground beef even more) and eat that with your mashed potatoes, peanut butter (small amounts--careful if not on a little piece of soft bread with it and something to drink with that), ice cream, frozen yogurt, regular yogurt, scrambled eggs, egg salad with some little pieces of soft bread, any kind of smoothie in a blender, any kind of pudding, Jello, and seedless jam or jelly on soft pieces of bread. Those are just a few ideas.

This makes me hungry. I just had cinnamon-sugar toast and sips of Sprite to get the toast mushy.

I'll take the cottage pie. Not a fan of lamb. Had to eat it at easter every year. Lamb and mint jelly, yucky.

I can't say that I've ever had lamb, my mom was against eating it so she never made it. But I too would prefer cottage pie with beef.

Yes indeed, we all have our vices!

If you had roast lamb, I think you'd really like it. I know I do!! Yum, yum, yum . . .

Oh, another favorite of mine: Junior Mints. They're super easy to "mush" in your mouth and they are delicious!!!

So let me tell you how my morning went. I woke up and wasn't feeling well. I started walking to my bathroom, got lightheaded and fell catching my the bottom side of my chin on a table corner. I snapped awake with hands covered in blood and my daughter calling my mom. Long gross story short, I didn't need stitches but my chin was covered in scab powder, butterflied and bandaged. I'm supposed to talk as little as possible, no kissing and no solid food and use a straw for three days. I'm really craving a burger and my tomato soup with soggy crackers isn't cutting it.

Sad to hear about this. I hope you are feeling better now. I do sympathize with your burger craving, and agree tomato soup is not a good replacement. Maybe when you can treat yourself to a good 5 Guys burger or something when you get to eat solid food again!

Those are just a few ideas.

At first I thought you were giving her a recipe for one dish, but as I continued reading and got to peanut butter I realized they were several different ideas.

Obviously I totally missed your first several words.

Sorry to hear this. Hope you recover soon.

Thanks!

I'm watching Hocus Pocus. Still awesome after all these years.

I saw that was on tv and I recorded it. I haven't seen it in a long time. I think we will watch it this weekend.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

My dog loves it when I pat his head! Then he nudges me to do it some more!!

I've been meaning to ask, does your dog still like his diet? I remember you were having some troubles, did you find a brand he will eat consistently. Our dog was being picky too until we finally went back to Beneful and she just gobbles that up.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

This makes me hungry. I just had cinnamon-sugar toast and sips of Sprite to get the toast mushy.

Cinnamon toast = yum
Sprite = yum

But did you put the bread in the Sprite? Because that doesn't sound so yum. I probably would have dipped it in milk.
