You have been vaccinated. You are outside. And you are in a mask? Fauchi would be proud of you.*

*Are you double masked? for extra virtue signaling points?

[WOTR]

Well, there. I seem to have driven her from this site with little more than a Jpeg.

Yes it’s a vain attempt to corral the clouds of spike proteins I shed with every exhale!  After about the fifth or sixth spontaneous abortion in your wake, you learn to dread the sickening sound of fetuses hitting the floor.  One poor yoga mom-to-be sent hers sailing past my left ear, damn near took my head off!

That wiggling is the mating dance of the American homosexual and is designed to strike fear into your mordant heart or, barring that, disable you by laughter and thus vulnerable to opportunistic buggery.  I will cease only if you allow that your charge that I wear the same one every day was ill-considered and impertinent.

On second thought, it is more fun this way.  I believe I claimed at least 31 different sweaters, of which I have exhibited four or five, so at this rate you may look forward to gyrating knitwear for the balance of the year!

Who the hell has 31 of those things? It's a good job you're pranced screaming out of the closet. There wouldn't be enough room.

They are like accordions, once people find out you like them all the attics in the extended family are emptied in your direction.  Half the women in my family knit, my aunt even owned a shop — I spent a good part of my childhood browsing patterns while mom gossiped.

And, I am the the only man who will wear them with any sense of style and 🇳🇴pride rather than grim duty, grumbling of itches.

I note this thread is sadly lacking in musical de-railments.

I cannot think of any complicated Cajun baked good.  Even Beignets , although fried not baked aren't that complicated.  Hmm...  I may actually have to read that "River Road Recipes" cook-book and see if there is something to get you out of that Nordic/Russian comfort zone of yours....

I was looking at excerpts from that cookbook I think on amazon after you mentioned it and turned to the desserts of course, and there was one that started with your browned-butter roux, I think it was a pie but it could have been cake, I was daydreaming.  That sounds like a challenge!

If you take on the challenge, pre-brown your flour for the roux in the oven on a sheet pan (or in a saute pan on the stove-top is even better) before you add the butter.  If you mix it all together and try to brown it that way it always seems to eventually spatter onto your hand and burn the shit out of you.  Also:  wear a shirt when making roux, roux-burns on the nipples suck, unless you like that sort of thing...

My grandmother used the pre-brown flour trick so often that she would just brown a bunch every once in awhile and kept it in a Mason jar ready to go.

Now that is a trick I can use!  Gramerci!

That is what MV said as well. You two must have the same taste in men.

Judge for yourself:

That was shortly after my Key West days, and obviously an Artist's rendering...

You should try this one:

FedEx it to Falkie!  Haha!



ediot: damn thumbnails!  The recipe is called "Fat Man's Misery"

t'wtiot:  Jay-sus took me forever to resize that damn recipe.  SOmeone should fix that shit!

Haha what is that, chocolate cookie-crust pie filled with buttercream?  Ye gods.

Key-riced!  Finally fixed that shit, apogees!

Yeah, I don't know for sure, you should make it though.  What the hell is a "chocolate wafer" anyway?  Is it the chocolate version of the Nilla Wafer?

I was debating that, closest I could think of was taking apart Oreos!  I don't know; I stay away from that aisle.

I happen to absolutely love cookies.  They have to be crisp though, I don't enjoy soggy, soft and half-baked ones.  I do not like Oreos though, although I do appreciate a decent "sandwich" cookie.  I must admit, much to my shame, my brand of choice for "sandwich" cookies is Always Save!  Particularly their Lemon & Peanut Butter ones, the Double Fudge & Vanilla are pretty good too.

It is funny, I hate Peanut Butter in general (think I ate too much as a child), but love a good Peanut Butter Cookie (as long as it is crisp) and that Thai Peanut Sauce (made with Peanut Butter) you dip the un-fried egg roll things in (spring rolls).

The Cookie/Snack aisle is awesome, although I usually don't buy anything most of that shit I can make myself and better.  And another thing, 90% of the cookies are the "Soft & Chewy" nasty ones.

Yay, cookies!

So I assume the only dish guaranteed not to contain chest hair is that containing roux? Was it your grandmother who taught you that naked cooking is not acceptable when it comes at a personal risk?
