Good morning! I spent a screenless Sunday, and there is a lot on the old MMP to catch up on. I went to bed last night at reasonable time, so I’m feeling refreshed. The temps were in the forties this morning, so I actually had to turn on the heat. Now the house smells like burning vent dust. We found out yesterday our friend who owns the café is retiring, so we spent the morning there celebrating and thanking her. She sold the business to a local group with the condition that they continue as the original brand, and continue to serve the community. Time will tell. We will miss her. Our children grew up together. I spent the afternoon re-reading the Silmarillion. This time I have The Atlas of Middle-Earth. I aways have a hard time with the geography of First Age Middle-Earth. Hopefully, the Atlas will assist. Meanwhile, **Mrs Magill** started her Woobles set and crocheted a little, blue penguin. Chloé thinks it should be hers. **Mrs Magill** disagrees. I felt odd yesterday. The only way I could describe it was “girly.” I don’t know if I can describe it, but that word popped in my head, and it felt like the right adjective for how I was feeling. Things - they are a-changin’. > [@Gobble, eh? A Metric Thanksgiving MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gobble-eh-a-metric-thanksgiving-mmp/1033772/307): > > It was legal paperwork. I’m being sued. Sounds like an ambulance chaser got a hold of them, hoping for an insurance settlement payout. > [@Gobble, eh?

I was watching some videos of various things being prepared, and so many people apparently don’t own scrapers. If you need a can of sweetened condensed milk, why would you leave a significant percentage of it clinging to the walls of the can? If you melt chocolate, how can you not scrape it all into the rest of the ingredients to be combined? Is it any wonder some people moan “It didn’t come out right!!!” [![](https://gifdb.com/images/thumbnail/speechless-nathan-fillion-36uruykqsmigyiba.gif) ](https://gifdb.com/images/thumbnail/speechless-nathan-fillion-36uruykqsmigyiba.gif) Not scraping is just not logical. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-chilly-well-to-me-mmp/1033962)._
