Heavens no but thanks :wub: You need those.
Many of those I'm not all that sure about if I want them or not. I just saved them because they looked interesting. That is why I was asking about some opinions on a few flavors earlier today.

    I’m probably not going to order any flavors. I need to go through my cases again and see what I want to piff.It is still my goal to pare down to around 200 flavors. That is actually too many but this 500-600 is just ridiculous I think.

    I have the FA apple pie but haven't used it much. I am told it's good for that crust flavor. I just recently got the OOO pie crust and tried it in a two flavor mix but didn't get a good feel for it. I may have to do an sft on it.
    yeah, you do not taste the apple at all.

    Van Damme! My favorite of the "how to get your girlfriend to watch that car chase movie" actors! For the longest time I thought he was Hispanic (or at least partly, IDK why I had that impression.) Me and my kid had to argue it out and my kid won. Proof was exchanged.

    I was really disappointed. Mainly because while "intellectually" I can find a Hispanic gentleman handsome, delightful, charming (and the reverse) but well.... there has NEVER ONE TIME IN MY LIFE AND I LIVED IN AZ FOR OVER A DECADE where I was like, "I would like to ask Senior whomever on a date or EVEN picture him naked."

    I mean.... Like I felt sort of racist, honestly. Like there was something wrong with me, but the hormones don't WORK. It's like my body is subconsciously telling me, "You would have horribly deformed children." I was really PROUD to have the hotties for like one Hispanic actor only to find out that no, he is 100% PURE CAUCASIAN.

    I mean black dudes sure, some of them. The ones that I find hot I wouldn't GET with because they are probably dealing drugs, but I do believe like I could have beautiful half black kiddos born addicted to something and etc. ANOTHER terrible STEREOTYPE!! I know!! I know!! Like I can't have the hots for a NICE black guy the one I dated in HS was so NICE it was HORRIBLE.

    Asian... that was touch and go for awhile, but then ALONG CAME THE CROW and I was like, "Why YES Jackie Chan I could marry your half Asian CHILD IN FACT WAKE FROM THE DEAD AND LET ME steal him away from that tragic (and weird, I think there was more going on there) move set bullet ACCIDENT! In a HEARBEAT.

    God. No one take this the wrong way please but I am afraid Van Damme in all his sweaty gooey scarry like bald headed Caucasian GOODNESS just does it for me and I felt TRULY ashamed of myself for being deluded for so long. It was a sad day, for me, for sure.

    Perhaps this would be less offensive like, if We substituted books, like "The Joy of Cooking!" or maybe it would be MORE.

    However, it is JUST PHEREMONES they are REAL DUDE.

    Just like you gotta cook the bird at the right temp.

    The only way to even slightly redeem this post is like to point out that this works BOTH WAYS TOO. I am sure there are many ethnic, mediumly ethnic or totally NOT ethnic dudes who would run the OPPOSITE DIRECTION if I so much as smiled at them. Take my supervisor for one.....

    I'm not gonna try and fix this post, it is what it is what it is,

    Just like The Fast and the Furious hopefully to INFINITY AND BEYOND!!

    Yes, I would also rather engage in congress with Buzz Lightyear than Woody. He is a cowboy. They can be great, but they can't fly. Sorry, Woody.

    Well that doesn’t sound too bad. I’m sure you can get it sorted out.:)

    Good good you must have had some seriously messed up work stuff, I have NO CLUE how to sort this out, unless it's via potato guns.

    Perhaps silly string? I say, "Supervisor every time you insult me as a female and tell me to shut my mouth and get back in the kitchen I am going to shoot you with silly string to remind you to like, think back to a kinder, gentler age when you were only watching your pops beat your moms to a bloody pulp and like, you decided to play football and you got head injuries and you are now dumb. SILLY STRING!! What were we saying you giving me an A plus double good super wide pass MOMMMMMM."

    DV is the suck and if you can get CHARGES FILED like 25 YEARS AGO AND WIND UP IN THE NEWSPAPER............ Wow that's a fair distance he definitely took the road less travelled.

    If I talked to him like that I'd get fired for insubordination.

    Same stuff usually goes into non-cornbread stuffing too.
    Worried about chopping? Get a food processor of some sort to do all your chopping.
    I have always been afraid to try making homemade cornbread stuffing (or dressing, as it were), worried it would just come out as a mush. But I love eating the stuff.
    I have made standard dressing (or stuffing, as it were :lol:) a number of times, and it always tastes better cooked in a bird. salt....
    And yeah, lots of butter.

    I’ve always made it outside the bird, but I hear it is much better that way.

    Here is my Mom's recipe. None of us like chunks, so she finely chops everything. Of course it was hard for her to write down the recipe as she's a Southern cook and just cooks by taste and years and years of experience. YMMV She makes her cornbread from scratch, and she uses those plastic containers of broth so I'm not sure why she wrote "cans". I just bought everything for her the other day. Rubbed sage is key and I'm her taste tester before she cooks it. :rolleyes: She doesn't use butter, unless she butters the pan before baking but I'm not sure. I've never made it. I don't see salt and pepper in her recipe. hmmm I'll taste it for you to see if it needs any!!! :) Maybe the broth has plenty of salt, I did not buy the low sodium kind. I have no idea what size pan either. She made enough for an army when we were younger, but now she makes a smaller size.

    Dressing

    (2) 10" skillets of cornbread
    (3) cans Swanson chicken broth
    (3) cups chopped celery
    (1.5) cups chopped onions
    Rubbed Sage (to taste)
    1 cup eggs, beaten

    Crumble cornbread in big bowl. Simmer broth with celery and onions for 15 minutes until vegetables are soft. Pour some of the simmered broth over cornbread. Add other ingredients. Add extra broth until cornbread consistency. Pour into pan and bake 375 degrees for 30 minutes.

    Here is her cornbread recipe.

    Cornbread

    8" iron skillet
    Shortening
    1.5 cups self-rising corn meal
    Heaping teaspoon self-rising flour
    Milk
    Sugar

    Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place enough shortening in pan to coat iron skillet. Place skillet with shortening in heated oven for 10 minutes. Mix all ingredients together. Pour mixture into hot skillet. Bake at 200 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes until done. She doesn't give amounts of milk and sugar...again she's a Southern cook. :laugh: The recipe was for 8" and her dressing calls for 10". Oh goodness, I need to make some before she's gone so I can perfect it. It took her YEARS to perfect her recipe. However, to taste so good, her recipes are very simple.

    My Memaw hated my Mom's cornbread, and I've got to admit I've had better. But it's perfect for the dressing.
    RJ,

    Thank you so much!!! This is so sweet of you! I am going to write this down in my word file of recipes and the next time I make Thanksgiving dinner, this is the recipe I will use! Thanks again!!

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard of rubbed sage? Can you buy it at the grocery with the other spices?

    No, no experience with them. Decent price..

    What was the failure mode on the Battlestar? Does it power up at all? And, uh, didn't pop the battery in backwards? (Hey, it happens to us all. Thankfully all "modern" mods don't care, just don't work until you turn it around.)

    Good luck at the eye doc! :nun:

    The Barrjesrar just quit working. It worked last night and this morning it didn't. No battery change, coil build or anything. I tried changing the batteries, but no go. It just decided enough is enough and quit working. I think I may have gotten a lemon, or I hope so anyway because I really liked it.

    Thanks for the :nun:. The good news is that my left eye has healed up nicely and she took the bandage contact out. The eye is a little irritated from that, though. In two weeks, I see my opthalmologist to be fitted for a new left contact. My right eye has been very irritated with the new contact. The doc said it was due to an air bubble under the lens. If that happens, I'm to take it out and wet it, then reinsert it. So right now my right eye, which has been irritated all day, is worse than my left. Please pardon any typos, because my vision is horrible. The good news is no need for a transplant, and the vision in my right eye was pretty good. Once I get my left contact and get the irritation under control, I should be able to see as well as I usually do, which isn't perfect but good enough to function.
