Still have 9 more days until half the crew goes back to school. Today was slow because it was rainy (no pool time) and I had to kill time at a 3hr Dr appointment for one of the kids. Otherwise haven't even been on CF much this summer.

Have you been saving up all of the baked goods pictures to bombard us with?
 
Well, at least you aren't like a small town near where I grew up...I was pretty young at the time, next town over, the town cop was chasing a raccoon, shot at it in the HS parking lot, ricochets went into portable classrooms that had students in them. No one was hurt, thankfully.

Everything about this sounds like small town Iowa.

Hmm, haven't baked too much but do have some quadruple chocolate cupcakes left from one kid's birthday. Chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate ganache filling topped with white chocolate frosting with chocolate chips.
 
Welcome back, birdy...speaking of kids going back to school...it's old hat for you, but little00 starts kindergarten on Monday! Our first in school!

This cop would probably shoot a raccoon and make a hat or something out of it

It's like I don't even know you anymore.

Those sound delicious though.
 
Oh, and Birdy, since you've been gone...if Pants doesn't seem like he's flirting with you quite so much as before you took your summer sabbatical...it's not you, his GF is watching, he's gotta play it cool.

:wink:

I think she'd be more mad if I was trying to get baked goodies from another woman.

Pants you should learn to make these before 55 comes to visit, or at least sweet talk Birdy into sending you a dozen right before 55 gets there so you can pass them of as your own.

Nickels has already informed me that she doesn't trust any of my cooking enough to feel comfortable enough that it doesn't inadvertantly poison her.
 
Cheese curd experiment kind of failed. Batter was really thin (recipe said it was supposed to be) and didn't really stick that well tot he curds. Ended up with a cheesy mess. Still tasted good though
 
The annual mindset list is out! (Yes, I'm such a nerd)

I disagree with #24:

24. When they were born, cell phone usage was so expensive that families only used their large phones, usually in cars, for emergencies.

I'm pretty sure my roommates got the Motorola Microtac in 1997, and it wasn't that expensive for service. *Just* starting to come down, but I'd say it was past the bag phone/car phone ONLY USE IT FOR EMERGENCIES phase.

I know Rhoads is a tough subject for people right now, but I'm sick of it coming up in EVERY football thread. Such and such recruit committed? Rhoads won't be here to coach him next year. So and so is on the schedule? Look another team Rhoads can lose to. Richardson is on the Manning watch list? Too bad Rhoads ruined his career. SEZ looks good? Think of how good it would looks if we had a good coach and not Rhoads.

I get it. A portion of the fanbase wants him gone. But it doesn't need to be beaten ad nauseum into every single thread.
