Lol, as much as I love being in my kitchen and I swear it looks like a junk-shop, because ANY gadget that is 'kitchenie' - the baking side is my nightmare. One of my FAVE browsing activities is to go to flea-market type shops and stalls and rummage through things. I found a disgusting old flour scale - and the discs were almost the size of tractor-ploughs, lol ... but once I had it cleaned up - it became a piece. You shudda seen hubby's face when I got home, tho bwahahaaaa.

But, it's an ironic purchase: anything to do with flour and baking I just don't have the knack for. So I just buy those products. My crust bases are either too brittle or too soggy. Ugh. I just give up and slap the darn stuff.

ditto ... my baking failures include pasta outside of boiling spag, penne and shells, lol. I have to buy lasagne :banghead: I love roasts - and also love to do baked salmon in skim milk (to DIE for and soooo easy!). It's my one single failproof dish.

There is one thing involving flour that I can make apart from pancakes....german doughnuts. Jam filled but I also let them cool completely and add fresh cream inside with the jam. My house is usually packed then with my lot, their mates and any other mates they can sneak in when I'm not looking, lol. I make 50 at a time.

Being the mom of a 20, 19 and 5 year old is rather fun. My 5 year old had my 19 year old and one of his mates totally engrossed Bratz Genie Magic dvd.

Funny thing is I had no idea about the bigger boys were in there watching it til I hear laughter from my older "kid" and his mate. I snuck a looky into the lounge and here they were totally enjoying Bratz with huge grins on their faces! They still deny it.

 

[Floh]

Lol .... bwahahaaa. Floh!!! I LAUGH with you, darlin, that I do. Well, I know nutting other than charlie is a "he" name, but he's also mentioned his wife (around bout the horsey-talk) ...

Ok. i didn't see the horsey talk. and it's raisincharlie - so i thought s/he was bringing up a boy called charlie.

Heh, Floh... he and BarnGoddess had a great horsey chit-chat a while back .... and I just toned down raisincharlie to charlie, lol... :slap:

I thot the same thing about someone with a lil son called charlie (sounds like a name of a true-story book or movie, eh?), but 'charlie' mentioned his nick is derived from two of his fave horses.

Ooooh. Can smell the dougnuts here, lol... 20, 19 .... and 5! I'll bet your 5-yo has the household engrossed in lots of antics. My sister's 2 sons are 14 years apart ... with a dau slap bang tween them. it was awesome to see the older son so protective and patient with the lil one ...

Told my sis her older one is going to make a GREAT dad ...& ...
The younger one is going to make the teachers & girls mad ... lol!

 

[Samiya]

My daughter is the 20 year old and to tell me that I am going to be a nana around Xmas she sent me this SMS

First one born, first one to leave. First one to get revenge......Congratulations NANA!

That was in May and I'm still smiling

 

[Samiya]

LOL, I was the one who told my smug sister inlaw that her son was going to be gay. She denied it so bad that she slapped me......makes me PML now because 5 years later he came out and she still isn't over it.

 

[PolkSaladAnnie]

LOL, Sami - seems like you have a lot of fun with your family. (NANA )

Why does your SIL not handle it b/c her son is gay? In this day and age we're used to accepting people for their opinions and preferences. He's still her son, no?

 

[close_enough]

well, i already got my youngest son to school, & am heading out to take my nephew to school...his mother (poor excuse for one) went on another crack cocaine binge this weekend & no one knows where she is
my nephew's Daddy works nights, so he's going to be there when my nephew gets off the bus this afternoon, at home.......

...sooooo i need to get him on to school....will be back shortly with my coffee

Raisin is a 17-2 thoroughbred mare - bay, looks like a big raisin, but has the best mind and heart of any horse I have ever known, is extremely athletic in the dressage ring, and she totally loves me.

Charlie is a 16-3 thoroughbred mare - black with white star - pain in the butt but very clever and great fun - she could care less if I live or die as long as she is fed. She is named after a boy I grew up with who could fold his ear up, suck his thumb and the ear would stay folded up - he was also a bug boy with me but he died after being thrown from a horse on the track.

Both of them are mine and mine alone, like Floh there are some things I do not share, and I did raise them from yearlings.

I do have two boys, neither named Charlie or Raisin, and a wonderful wife of 17 years who always makes me .

She's not over me being the one that told her. She's ok with him, lol. She still says I did that because I wanted to be a biatch. I just tell her I did it because she was blind and she needed to be able to help him with any problems he might have coming out...and part of that is being prepared. Gay teen suicide is up over here and my nephew is a lovely kid but a bit troubled.

I have a ball with my family. I was telling my oldest son off a couple of weeks ago when he and his mate raided the icecream (4 litres GONE in 5 minutes!) and he turned around to his mate and said "See! Look what I have to live with. Love your mom and respect her or I'll send mine around"

I am so in love with the idea of being a nana.....I can hand her back! (yep apparently a girl) my 5 year old thinks it's the bees knees. We already have to call him Uncle Liam! lmao....I better change his birth certificate

Amazing, misery and pain - isn't that what he inflicted upon his innocent victims. Fry him.
