Random DIY mixing and More

Correct.

Having your own kitchen will be heavenly. And being able to avoid stairs will be great.

Yes indeed. My coffeepot and a microwave will fit nicely. If anything else, it can live in a cabinet when not in use.

There are some things the builder doesn’t do without hiring a subcontractor. With that in mind, Dd is going to tile the bathroom, SIL will do the electrical and my gd’s hubby will do the heat.

 

[Zazie]

What kind of heat?

 

[Zazie]

My dream heating system is a vertical closed-loop geothermal heat pump.

It's 48 in my house right now. Thanks to the cats on my lap, I'm not at all cold.

 

[TARTARA]

The same thing does and our cat, especially the winter months !

Why so cold in your house? Is the furnace broken? If it was 48 in our house then my wife would be at her moms or at a hotel.

I bought the Anniversary Edition recently and it adds a lot to the game. I'm running a Mage for the first time and it's a challenge! I am playing with no mods to get some achievements on my new PS5.

Coincidental benefit to Covid. For a couple of weeks all I could do was sit down, so I spent my time getting ready to play Skyrim again. Had to download a more recent version and then go through the lengthy process of downloading mods and getting everything set up. Finally started playing last night. After I last played Skyrim I took a 3 year break from video games, and then spent 2 years on No Man's Sky. Skyrim has changed a lot from the early version I played before. I really don't remember anything so it's like a new game.

I have the new one as well. The graphics are amazing..

I have been getting nostalgic as of late. I purchased a Super Nintendo and have been playing PTO (a turn based strategy game) and enjoying it a lot. Last week I ordered Genghis Kahn and a Nintendo. The Nintendo is totally refurbished and has a new 72 pin connector installed. I played Genghis Kahn back in 1989. I credit that game for getting me through a divorce at the time. I never called her, or answered her phone calls throughout the entire process. It's supposed to be here on Tuesday,

It's very cold outside and ferociously windy, and my house is not exactly tight. My furnace can't keep up.

It's 46 now. As long as the power stays on, I'll be fine. I normally keep my house at 54, so this isn't all that different.

 

[dennism]

Sure will.

I haven’t had those cookies in ages. It would be cool to come up with a recipe.

I assume you dress warmly inside this time of year.

We had -12 whenI got up. -9 now

Does anyone have a cherry pie recipe?
Any recipes with cherry?

I'm thinking of trying this:
Bavarian cream-tfa-1%
Marshmallow-tfa-.5%
Cherries-inw-3%
Fresh cream-fa-.5%
Sweet cream-fw-.1%

I'd be interested in knowing if you tried that recipe and how you liked it. I'm partial to the SSA Juicy Cherries and the following was not too much cherry for me.

And also this variation on a Cherry Crumble with SSA

I’ve been thinking for a while now on and off about a recipe to mimic a fudge stripe cookie. It’s one of my favorite cookies but trying to think of which cookie flavors I want to use has me guessing.

A while back I made something sorta similar. Chocolate Coconut Cookie. I made it to mimic a Girl Scouts Samoa cookie. PUR TCC is in it strictly for its toasted coconut note.

PUR Cookie 2%
JF Biscuit 1.5%
PUR Toasted Coconut Cheesecake 3%
SSA Ripe Coconut 0.5%
MB Glamour Chocolate 2.5%
VTA Chocolate Milk 1.5%

The combination of PUR Cookie + JF Biscuit would give you the ideal cookie base for a striped fudge cookie.

PUR Cookie is a fairly neutral tasting cookie that pairs well with JF Biscuit. JF Biscuit is more of a crunchy sugar cookie. It's not anywhere near as sweet as CAP Sugar Cookie.

Drop the PUR TCC and SSA RC. Sub whatever chocolate(s) you prefer. Add a cream (1%-2%) for moistness and mouthfeel. You would then have yourself something that mimics a striped fudge cookie.
