The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

I enjoy hot pretzels too with mustard, the old fashioned, regular 'ole mustard. At Disney I also became a fan of the jalapeno and sweet cream cheese hot pretzels. Sadly I've been reading around the Disney Boards and social media that *poof they were gone.* I guess the regular hot pretzels are still available in a few places. Guess they got rid of that vendor. I wonder if it was the same bread vendor since there are complaints galore about the Tonga Toast at the Poly with the new bread from the new vendor. Bread sadness all around. Will be interesting to see which other breads are discovered to have been changed.

I had a jalapeño cheese-filled pretzel today at DCA.

So here's how my day is going. I'm sweeping my family room floor when I hear whirrr, click, click, click. Thinking it was a lego, I looked in the canister to take it out. No lego. I didn't think about it more and put the sweeper away.

Walking back into my family room I stepped on whatever I was trying to sweep up but I couldn't see it. Backing up because I couldn't find it I stepped on it AGAIN! By this time I'm on my knees feeling for whatever it was. FOUND IT! I yanked up my hand with a small fish hook stuck in my finger. Not happy. I think I'm done cleaning today!

That was definitely a painful sign to stop cleaning!

No as far as I know he's still going to be a donkey about this summer.

At the very least we will do a weekend or two at Disneyland. We'll have to make do with weekend trips.

Although good news at court this morning. Mr Donkey's lawyer messed up the request for order so it's continued until our other court date on June 7. So I'm celebrating right now!

I just love Karma!

A community college somewhere close to Delaware.

You're so lucky to be near Cape May! It's funny i really love the northern part of the shore Sandy Hook and Union Beach, Keyport area and Cape May in between not as much. I think it has to do with the drive. When I got my license I spent the whole summer at the beach nice little day trips but once in a while I'd get up super early and drive all the way down the parkway and spend a day in Cape May.

I had half of one, that youngest DD couldn't finish, along with my Grey Goose Slushie back during out February trip. It was certainly tasty , but, coulda' used a bit more octane.

Agreed but in the heat of August that may not be a bad thing as I'm planning on having a few

I miss you guys, too! Going to try to ketchup a little, but hopefully everyone is doing well or at least on the mend.

Other than having to continue dealing with Mr Donkey's antics, life has been pretty good. Still trying to get back on track with furnishing the house and other to-do items, plus continuing to work through the emotional stuff. I'm still seeing the guy I told you about before, and it's going well, which is one of the reasons why I haven't been on here as much lately.

You're excused that's a great reason the not be here! But I still miss you when you're gone!!!!

Good morning our weather person said something called the sun is coming out today, I may have to go out and see what that is It's been a very long while since I've seen that!

Getting on Splash for the 3rd time and it looks like they got almost all the effects working now.

can you do a small world 3 times?

Spoiler

don't do it. I only did it twice once vacation (separate days)

Mayo in the US doesn't usually have a lemon taste, nor is it super salty. It is more creamy, although there are flavored mayonnaises.

I like Mayo but in small quantities. I don't actively search for mayo to put on food.

I lost track too. I think it was sunny this weekend but I'm not sure. I do know it rained one day.

@catmom46 , I loved your Disneyland pictures. It's interesting to see the various nuances between DL an DW. I like the landscaping around Haunted Mansion, for example. And you're lucky to have Cars Land. I wish we had that attraction in FL. It looks like so much fun. Lastly, the purse you bought is really cute and stylish.

Glad to hear that things are getting a bit better for you. Happier days are ahead!!

Sounds like you had a great Disney day! Tower is a favorite of mine too, and I wish I could have had plaza chicken! Yum! Thanks for the pictures.

Heehee, this makes me think of that SNL skit.

Me too! (Doing my best Beavis and Butthead imitation.)

 

[Songbird76]

ok can you message me can we talk

Isn't that what we're doing here? This is the chit CHAT thread.

 

[Songbird76]

I am really looking forward to my walk after work. I convinced a friend to join me and my dog. It is also really sunny here.



Mayonnaise is often put in cakes to add moisture. I can't think of any reason to put it on a cake.

Really? I've heard of using sour cream for that, but not mayo.

Some people also use apple or pear sauce

I still have no idea how it could fit in something sweet like a cake.

You wouldn't be able to taste it at all. The other things will mask the flavor...just like...have you ever had carrot cake or zucchini bread? People think it sounds weird to put veggies in cake, but all it does is keep it moist because the veggies themselves don't have a very strong flavor, but they have a high water content. So it keeps the cake moist without overpowering the flavor.
