Isn't it kind of like the same concept at mole poblano?

hu no.. mole poblano has no milk, its very dense and its served along with chicken.

one is a drink, the other is a dish.
Plus the chiles are different.

I meant to ask you before you went to Disneyland, but perhaps you remember. I heard from that other board that Disneyland is no longer selling the English toffee (something about lack of almonds), can you confirm this? Do you remember seeing any? We love the English toffee there and were looking forward to it in December.

mmmm, English toffee

Here you go. Enjoy! You will be napping for quite some time today.

Great this will help me to get wasted (or toasty)!

I guess it doesn't really matter what you call it for these purposes. I was just trying to help the person who was trying to post a gif to do it simply.

so am I, I'm just explaining the reason of why many times the images do not show.
@donaldtoo has had this issue a few times.. where he "embeeds" or "hot links" the image urls, and they do not load in the forum.

How has it been hard to find an iron? are you looking for a specialty one? That's also an item I have more than one of 2 regular ones (one really good one nobody but me is allowed to touch and a nice cheap one for the men to use and I fuse with it) and a couple of little craft ones. I'm sure I'll be able to help you find a good deal.

I narrowed my list down to a Maytag, Sunbeam and Rowenta. I don't want to spend a lot so Rowenta might be out

When you call Swan and Dolphin for a job you applied for and get that classic Disney transportation voice.

Makes you want to go back but not spend thousands of dollars.

We've been watching it this afternoon and I agree. Although I've never watched it before so I have nothing to compare it with. The only big parade I've ever watched is the Rose Parade.

I love the Rose Parade. Have you ever seen it in person?

Guess I can skip the Super Bowl half-time this year.

 

[Figgy1]

Thank you, Figgy! Eventually, I will get to sit for more than 2 minutes...I think!
By the way, every so often when I glance over at the computer I see a picture of you and I on a warm sunny day in out happy place, and it makes me smile.

Me too! I wish you could go next summer! xoxo

 

[Figgy1]

You got it Betty! Would you like extra salt or lime?

If it isn't any problem could you make one for me with extra lime Thank you it's going to be a busy, busy weekend.

really? where?
most links I see in google are products called "Aztec Spicy Chocolate".

I didn't make it up, I swear. There are lots of sources that report the chili chocolate connection and Mexico. I don't really have a lot of time to research this at the moment but here's a brief excerpt from the History Channel.

Chocolate may be the “food of the gods,” but for most of its 4,000-year history, it was actually consumed as a bitter beverage rather than as a sweet edible treat. Anthropologists have found evidence that chocolate was produced by pre-Olmec cultures living in present-day Mexico as early as 1900 B.C. The ancient Mesoamericans who first cultivated cacao plants found in the tropical rainforests of Central America fermented, roasted and ground the cacao beans into a paste that they mixed with water, vanilla, honey, chili peppers and other spices to brew a frothy chocolate drink.

or you just double dip.
aka, first egg batter, then the panko, then another row of egg batter, then the coconut.
just remember to fry carefully, as the coconut tastes horrible if its gets past brown.

Are these not baked?

 

[Cesar R M]

Are these not baked?

depends on the recipe, in Mexico you fry them in oil and then served with coconut sauce.

I love the Rose Parade. Have you ever seen it in person?

Yep, a couple times. The first time we did New Year's Eve there, walking around and chatting with people, then finally settled down on the sidewalk along the parade route to sleep for a few hours. I woke up and the parade was already going by! That was back when I could actually sleep through anything.

It's not that I didn't think he's sweet but he is a middle school boy! I have one and i love him but some days

I'm not terribly suspicious He got me the smaller elephant and himself the larger one. So...

He also got himself a new iPod Touch and I set it up for him, so he's feeling a bit grateful.

Usually I'm not too suspicious of him. He randomly hugs me for absolutely no reason. He's just naturally sweet.

The middle school stuff kicks in when he gets extremely grouchy for no apparent reason.

If you look closer at the pic, yours is there, too.
