The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

I honestly dont think the attack was "terrorism". Looked more like a pair of nutzjobs who went postal (a la Boston) but focused on the government.

I still wonder.. WHO THE HELL ATTACKS CANADA?
isnt Canada one of the most peaceful countries out there?

Without getting political here - it was an act of terrorism.
The killer was a home-grown radicalized Jihadist whose postings on FB brought him to the attention of CSIS.
His passport was pulled when he wanted to travel to Syria.

His writings and rantings were political, and his intent was clear.

Doesn't mean he wasn't a nutjob. Clearly, he was. His motivation, however, was 100% terroristic.

In this country, we don't actually throw that word around - mainly, because it's not often necessary.

And this is what we lost:

I really, really want some upside down pineapple cake.

Who has a good recipe and the inclination?
I will have tea ready in 10 minutes.

I have a good dutch oven recipe - I make it every time we go camping! If you use a dutch oven, is it considered baking or would it be grilling since you use charcoal????

Doughnuts Churros with Mexican Chocolate Dipping Sauce

We've had the little dessert ones with caramel dipping sauce from La Hacienda. If it's available, I tend to like to get both sauces and mix them. Mighty tasty...!

We used to make peach cobbler in a Dutch oven on our backpacking trips back in the day.
Wasn't always pretty, but, darn delicious.

Pineapple upside down cake made in one sounds just as yum-o-rama...!

This one looks like it was made in a Dutch oven...

And, I'm out...
Have a good'n, gang...!
See yaaaaaaa'...!!!

Speaking of Halloween, is anybody else besides me wanting to watch the cartoon of The Legend of Sleepy Hallow? I remember when it would be on annually in the fall around Halloween time. It was a great cartoon.

Absolutely.

Dallas has had a rough couples weeks. *Pixie Dust* floating to them.

Florida Mom won, Toys R Us is pulling the Action Figures for series Breaking Bad.

The only thing related to Halloween I like is Toy Story of Terror and Hocus Pocus

Those are really good. Toy Story has some of the best story lines even condensed into a 24 min cartoon.

@MOXOMUMD , isn't your cruise coming up in a few weeks? I vaguely recall you said October, but I'm probably wrong. Sometimes my mind makes up things and I have no control over its dysfunction.

My grandmother used to make all kinds of yummy things in her cast iron Dutch oven. This picture you posted really took me back many years to when she'd cook like that. I've been trying to stick my fork in this deliciousness, but it stops short when it hits the computer screen. Very frustrating!! I want some of this!!!

No, it's Spring Break. We actually pull back into port Easter morning and will be spending Easter and the day after in Miami.

I can draw stick figures.

Oh, that sounds like fun! And I figure it won't be too hot at that time in Miami, so no worries about the chocolate Easter rabbits melting. They'll be fine!

I have been watching youtube videos of our ports of call.....and the food on the cruise.
