Wood smoker?

Hickory, apple and maple for the ham and onion bombs, maple and hickory for the mac and cheese and sausages

We know the difference between BBQ and grilling. My family is doing BBQ Sunday

Smoking is what we do here...!!!!!!!

Happy birthday, Mrs. Nesbitt!! My husband saw your birthday in my agenda and says "That's so appropriate that he was born on April 1st."

 

[Songbird76]

Good to know...DD’s birthday is coming up in the summer, and she’s requested an Alice in Wonderland theme...I always have fun challenging myself on the cake for her

There's also a craft and hobby thread where you are welcome to post pictures of cakes you've made!

 

[Songbird76]

I wonder if I create a thread specifically for the refugees so we don't clutter up this thread for folks. That way the gang can congregate as they choose, but no politics allowed.

Perhaps the "Salute to all things but definitely NOT politics"?

Did the politics thread get closed or something? I never go in there, but talking about "refugees"....I'm a little confused.

It was closed down last night.

It was closed down last night.

That explains so much. I am not sure I ever ventured in there....kind of like the elephant graveyard. I must never go there!

@Mrs.Nesbitt , here is some delicious ice cream to go with all those birthday cakes you'll be eating today.

Happy birthday!!

The rest of us shouldn’t have either...

Good morning, Willmark.

Hoping that your precious dog has a better day today. (You still haven't told us what his name is.)

I don't think that I have ventured into the political thread for a couple of years. I am way to passionate and intolerant of just how lacking in vision society can be. I don't find it disgusting just terribly scary and makes everything seem hopeless and sad. Does anyone know if it was just closed down because of timing or was something posted that prompted the closure?

Too much bickering and tossing around of thinly veiled insults.

The moderator said that the amount of their time needed to deal with the political threads was way too time consuming. People posting personal insults against fellow posters. Cursing. Immature name calling. The moderator additionally said that the spirit of the thread that wdwmagic envisioned was not the reality of what evolved on a day to day basis. Unlike some prior "time outs", this is a permanent shut down. There was a thread announcing the permanent shut down that was up / viewable for 3 days. People were able to express their thoughts and the moderator(s) responded here and there. Additionally people were able to reflect back on their time on the political forum(s) and a small handful opted to get in one more insult directed toward those they disagreed with while many opted to say "good bye" to their fellow posters.
Yet regarding the permanent shut down....you know the well established saying: "Never say never".

Can't see the site owner bringing it back. This is a Disney site first and foremost. It will be easier for him to ban people who can't keep politics out of it.
