The interaction between Rory and her mom is terrific. I'm not watching the reruns but I remember it was a great way to escape the cares of this world. Fast paced show that always was over way faster than it seemed it should of been.
Yeah, and I love the humor and the references to books, movies, music, events etc. It's kind of a fun game to see how many things I already know about. Like...I now know who Squeaky Frome is because I had to look it up after it was referenced on GG. And at one point Rory calls Jess "Dodger", so I had to figure that out. It's fun.....I learn from it.

DD and I watch it together. I watched it starting from something like....season 2 or three when it was on, and then I bought all the DVDs, but I don't use the DVDs since it's on Netflix. And I watched it so much that DD started watching with me, so we started from the first episode and we're on the Netflix 4 episode sequel now.
Our fav Mom and Dd show. We have watched every season. When my Dd went to college, she bought me all the season dvds that wore out then. Everwood was another one we loved.

Yeah, I don't do a lot of them just because it's so much work. It's not that it's difficult, just that I'm too lazy! :hilarious: Whereas with DH, he can follow a recipe, but he has no experience with baking, so a lot of it, he would just be like "What??" and he wouldn't know that you need to adjust the baking time for smaller cookies...he wouldn't know how thick to roll it out. He wouldn't feel if it needed more flour, or if it was too dry. And, since you have to keep balling the scraps back up and rolling them out again, you add a bit of flour each time, so they get harder as you go. So I always break the dough up into smaller sections so I don't have a brick by the end. He wouldn't know to do that. But I think a lot of people don't do roll-out cookies just because of the amount of time it takes...same thing with cheesecake....people don't want to spend the time. Myself included, as far as roll out cookies. Cheesecake is worth the effort. The only reason we did roll out cookies this time is because that was what the teacher specifically asked for, and handed her the cookie cutters. I got to pick my own recipe though.

I've been contemplating making some cheesecake in my Instant Pot... one of these days!

It all worked out. It wasn't what I planned, but it needed to be done and the nice thing was that it gave me a chance to spend some time with DD when she got home from Musical Theater....we had to decorate the cookies! I'm REALLY glad I wasn't scheduled to work in the evening, because then we would have had a problem. My husband would have been lost trying to bake cut-out cookies. They are for the french classroom, so the teacher gave them cookie cutters in the shape of letters and they had to spell a certain word. DD's word is "Merci". I don't think many people would be saying "Merci" if DH baked the cookies. He can cook, but he's pretty out of his depth with baking. He could probably handle cupcakes, or even something like chocolate chip cookies. But anything you have to roll out on a floured surface and have to adjust the baking time because of the size of the cookies...I'd have had to write out VERY specific instructions.

Those are great! I usually wind up taking over when it's cookie cutter cookies for all of those reasons. Still trying to master the flooding technique for icing them.

Yeah, I didn’t tell them directly, I was calling her and they heard me call her baby, so I just told them she was my GF, they said they knew already and they had read the text messages

When I was a teenager there were a few incidences where I thought I was hiding things from my parents, but when I finally told them they were like, yeah, we know.

Parents know everything.

I told my mom a few years ago that my friend and I used to jump off of the half walls in the basement, which are about four feet off the ground. The look on her face was priceless.

She also had no idea about me cutting a mandatory pep rally to go do homework until recently...:hilarious:

She's meticulous and particular like I am. So I'm hoping that will translate into her being a compatible trip planner, lol. We basically go to do all the things she wants to do anyway, so in a way she already plans our trips!
My joy in life is one ds is all for the quantity of food and the other is a foodie who can eat twice his weight daily(eats like a bird lol). One trip James and his brother had to compromise on a meal. James picked the Fantasmic package and his brother picked Hollywood and vile:banghead:
