CarrionCrow: Can't complain here. Watching Youtube videos and trying to not drink pot after pot of coffee.
Moderation's a pain in the ass, honestly.

moonshineshadow: Sounds difficult :D
I am so glad that I never had to stop something or reduce it because I never started with something like that :P
Yeah, it's a lot easier to avoid getting addicted rather than becoming that way so that eventually you think about how addicted you are and how you need to quit. Not a whole lot of fun there.

Morning all!

+1s for Crow please; who, despite asking nicely ;), still gifted me Total Annihilation after I (foolishly) mentioned it.
Thanks Crow! :)

Got quite a bit on again today, got to pick up some wood for the oven and make some dough later. Just relaxing for now though.

ddickinson: My partner is doing fine, we have been invited to a big fancy party with some of her friends from where she used to live in Southern England. She is really looking forward to it, especially as there will be dancing, and she loves dancing. I am just looking online at some dresses for the occasion. I have a friend who is a wonderful seamstress, so if I get a picture of a dress I like, she will make one similar for my and that way I know it will fit perfectly.

I have seen a nice black silk one that I like, but I have not decided yet. I can't decide to go for it in black, or a nice red. This is the kind of dress I am thinking about, and probably [url=http://www.metmuseum.org/~/media/Images/About%20the%20Museum/Now%20at%20the%20Met/2014/Charles%20James%20Photography/EveningDress.jpg]some gloves like these[/url] to go with it.
Glad you and your mother are doing well :)

That sounds great. Do you both dance (as in proper ballroom)?
Me and my partner would love to learn, but it's one of those things we've just never had the time to get around to doing.

That's a lovely dress, I think black or red would be lovely but as others have mentioned red is a very stand out colour so if that's not what you are looking for I would stick with the classic black :)

zenwan: Good morning / evening Crow, and hi to anyone else who is up and about. I love Anthony Bourdain, he's so witty. Like his food also. What were you cooking earlier that required your undivided attention? Hope it was something that will not give you worse dreams, but will help you to sleep instead.

Haven't had a chance to catch up with the thread, except that I did throw in lots of +1's for Tom and Socorro, and to you for being kind to people. As long as they don't get within reach of your feet, that is. <laughing>

Yeah, thank you tinyE, and a +1 for the info - hope this thread helps to balance some of the negative repping you've been suffering from.

Now I think I will have to get Support to change my user name, wouldn't want to be confused with a scammer named - ugh - 'zencharm'. :-(
avatar
CarrionCrow: Good morning. =)

Yes, he's in my top three for anyone related to cooking, the other two being Alton Brown and Alex Guarnaschelli.

I cooked some fish, threw together a sauce for it with a lot of lemon and dill paste that turned out to be pretty good, along with some shrimp and fries.

-laughs- I'm very, very far from dainty or petite, and I have no desire to inadvertently break someone's toes.

Thank you, I'm lucky enough to be around a lot of good people. Pretty easy to be kind in a good environment. =)

I wouldn't worry about changing your name. You chose your name, it has meaning to you. Don't let someone's begging make you feel like you need to change that.
If anyone gets confused, send them over here, I'll explain the difference quite emphatically. ;)

But enough of me typing a novella's worth of text. How are you doing today?
Tried to post a reply to you, and the bad karma I sent to that scammer for picking such a name must have rebounded on me, and I was thrown off the internet without a word of apology.

I'm back again, dusting myself off. Your meal sounded wonderful, fish and lemons and dill - a great combination. I'll pigeon over some lemons off my tree, lemons do well here, and I have 2 huge trees in pots.

Thanks for helping out about my name, I may just ask Support to 'tweak' it a little, to avoid any confusion. But a character reference from you, if required, would be much appreciated. Not that I'm in the habit of asking for games, as you and gunsynd said, I'd rather go without.

Otherwise all well here, the sun and heat have well and truly arrived, although there is rain and cooler weather forecast for next week, but they do that just to get our hopes up. Probably an April Fool's joke, it will surely be hotter and still dry.

Meantime I see that Moon is up - good morning to you. How are things in chilly Switzerland?


just editing out the odd typo...

Hey now, asking nicely's what got you the second one. See where being nice gets you? -laughing hard-

Okay, that was funny....you were adding another reply on that wasn't there when I was typing, I hit reply, there's a whole other comment added, and I'm just sitting here like a brain damaged deer in headlights, thinking for a second that somehow GOG knocked my post back and had me replying to some other comment.

Good morning, adaliabooks, lots of +1's for Crow with the greatest of pleasure, if I can find any of his posts I haven't already plussed. What a very kind gesture from him. :-D

Your pizzas sound wonderful, wish I could taste one. I'm sure you will continue to do well.

*wave* Good morning :-) Really nice if you can start the day by relaxing. And stop talking about your work, it always makes me want pizza :P

A sense of deja vu strikes me hard. You know, after our last conversation I ended up dredging up nearly every Alton Brown and or Good Eats video on youtube. On the plus side, besides being well versed in making a bunch of new dry spice rubs, sauces, and making my own peanut butter, I have to wonder, are you cooking an Alton brown fish, or an Alex Guarnaschelli fish?

Don't worry about your name, we all know your a good person :)

Everytime you post you make me just a little jealous, where you live sounds very idyllic :)

Speaking of April Fools, there have been a couple of good ones on the forum already, I might have to have a scout about and see what Google and others have done..

Really, you shouldn't even think about that. I seriously doubt anyone will get confused.
In one hand, you have someone with no avatar or face who joined today asking for free stuff...
In the other, a respected member who has been here a while and makes intelligent and and friendly posts.
You have a solid reputation here (and I'm not talking about the number.) I wouldn't worry at all. :-)

Hello everyone! Good morning.
*hugs and helmet tips*

Lol, it does that to me sometimes too, not sure why sometimes it updates your reply with edits, but not others. It gets very confusing when you try to figure out where the extra text came from XD

I'll have to remember not to be nice next time :P

Either or both would do well, I can offer a Zenhug in return, or a Zenwave? :-)
I will just have to imagine your weather instead, but I must say that the sunny morning is also very pleasant, before it gets too hot. The blackbirds were singing like a choir when I got up just before 5am, they love this time of the year.

moonshineshadow: *wave* Good morning :-) Really nice if you can start the day by relaxing. And stop talking about your work, it always makes me want pizza :P

Yeah, definitely a bonus of working on an evening a lot at the moment :)

Sorry, will try not to mention it so much ;)

You should find a way to sent the pizza to others over the internet, you would get rich ;-)

If both are fine then *hug* and I'll take the zenhug, sounds relaxing and calming :D
