[QUOTE=Anaamika] Lissa, that sounds like it really hurt! And I should know, what with my nose pierced and all. I don’t know why you would do it, I can’t even imagine it looking pretty…it’d just look like something was caught on your wrist. Plus I shudder to think of sweaters. I had my nose ring pulled out once by a quilted blanket…I’ve learned never to use quilted blankets. [/QUOTE] That reminds me of how I lost my eyebrow ring–literally. :eek: ---

**Bobbio** **Sean** and I are indeed talking about Gilmore Girls. It’s my secret shame. I am hooked on this show even if I do go into GG threads in Cafe Society and trash the main characters. **Spats** I’m glad you’re kidney/back thing is all good now. I meant to say this earlier. **welby** that was a cool video clip. I think your friend is kinda hot. Just thought you’d want to know that. 😃 ---

Should I make _chocolate_ cinnamon buns instead of regular ones? With chocolate ganache as well as cinnamon sugar butter? I’m doing danishes filled with chocolate ganache and also some filled with homemade lemon curd. About half of these will be distributed to work. Some is for my parents, and the rest Driving Husband and I will eat. And maybe Attacks Husband, if he comes over tonight. ---

Chocolate cinnamon buns… mmmmmmmm… That would have gone well with what I ate for lunch today, two scoops of tiramisu flavored gelato. Eat healthy. That’s my motto! 😃 ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] no no no. we can’t call **The Weird One \*\* “Weirdo”! Weird** y\*\* maybe, or something else entirely. But calling someone “weirdo” just evokes too many negative images and memories. [/QUOTE] Oh, I don’t mind **WeirdO** , except that the O should be capitalized. Anyway, it reminds me of Gonzo from The Muppet Show - he was always my favorite. I have my lower lip pierced, and I always suck in that lip when I put on a sweater, just to make sure it doesn’t get caught. I got a fortune cookie fortune years ago that read, “You and your wife will be very happy together.” Now, all these years later, I’ve moved to Massachusetts. That _can’t_ be a coincidence.

I just noticed something. I’m at my desk, eating a snack a lot healthier than the sugar frosted sugar the rest of y’all are talking about. Three days after I made the batch, the black beans I put in my Texas Caviar are now red. Does Jay Bush have secrets (dark ones at that) other than what he puts in his baked beans? :dubious: ---

One thing I have noticed about black beans, **Bobbio** , is if you use a lot of a tomato based product with 'em, and I am assuming there is a lot of tomato and/or salsa in your Texas caviar, they well turn reddish after a couple of days. Doesn’t mean they’ve gone bad, so enjoy. ---

No no no. It’s sugar frosted _butter_, **Bob**. 😃 I should eat breakfast. No, wait, I did eat something. Some dried fruit. I should eat shomething else. i always forget to eat on baking days, so my first meal is usually when stuff comes out of the oven. ---

Home and exhausted! whew! **FCD** arrived safely in San Fran, so that’s a relief. My lucky number came up - I got to take a pee test today - woohoo! And that’s pretty much all I have to share. **Taters** said she’d post the pics she took the very minute she walked thru the door at home. Or eventually. She wasn’t too specific. Oh, and we determined her dinner was kinda confused - it was called Georgia BBQ, but it came with Texas toast. I just went with the salmon and broccoli myself - it was nummers! Nice interview, **welby**! But it would have been so much more striking if you’d worn that tablecloth ensemble you shared with us some time back… 😛 So I’m in for the night, and it’s just after 3. I’m going to relax, then have some dinner, then crash in bed early because I don’t think I got 5 hours of sleep last night. I’m thinking a glass of wine will help that sleeping thing. Obviously, that lush **Taters** was a bad influence on me. 😃 ---

Well, one BBQ place in FL that I loved didn’t put garlic on their Texas toast - it was just grilled slices of thick bread. Can’t say that’s a rule - just my experience.
