Huggs and chocolate to **PHS. ** Cat Whisperer is right, you aren’t wallowing, you are grieving. Everyone grieves in their own way and on their own schedule.
More chocolate to Morgyn and Lynn. I love that site. With those instructions, I am considering trying my hand at Tiramisu. According to the comments I can use pasturized egg yokes from the grocery store.
I didn’t learn to cook when I was growing up, so when I was poor, I didn’t try to cook because if I screwed it up, I didn’t have dinner. Besides, cooking is kinda expensive and I didn’t know how to do it, so I mostly lived on salads and microwave food. When I had a kitchen and stuff in the drawers, I didn’t try to cook because I didn’t know how and I was used to microwave food and I lived in BFE, so if I forgot something for a meal, it would be a half hour drive to get it.
Agrees with everyone that the above sure does read like a bunch of excuses. So, anyhow, I’m learning to cook. So far, learning Latin has been easier. I don’t get burned if I screw up conjunctions, and all it takes to clean up after studying Latin is to put the books/discs away.
My method of mixing powder with liquids has always been to put some of the liquid in a jar, drop the powder in, put the lid on and give it a good shake, then pour that into the large container of liquid and stir it around. This seems to stop the powder from getting lumpy.
Yesterday, I learned that there was a good reason that I was taught to do this with a glass jar that had a screw top. Yesterday, I also learned to get all of my cooking tools out before hand. I couldn’t find an empty jar in the kitchen and was in a hurry…so put some of the boiling giblet stock and some baking powder in a plastic storage container, put the snap top on and gave it a shake. I really cannot tell you what a bad idea that was. Trust me, don’t do this. Really.
