Good morning everyone :)
:bringcoffee: Wow...I didn't want to get out of bed this morning at all, but so nice to wake up to a yummy breakfast Zimmy, thank you! :girleating: Incubus, you're right...they are like savory scones, maybe a little lighter in texture. I lived in Australia for a few years, and the whole biscuit/cookie/scone thing took some adjustments. It is, however, where I got addicted to salt & vinegar chips (crisps) and lamingtons....I adore lamingtons :) I remember the first time someone invited me over for tea and biscuits....I thought :blink: biscuits? Then got there and OOooooohhhh cookies! :cheesy: Today is a busy day for me...3 conference calls and have to get the son to a friend's by 2 for a birthday party/sleepover. Think I'll grab the extra big cup of coffee this morning! Have a good day all...and a very happy holiday weekend to those of us celebrating the 4th! :fireworks: :fireworks: :fireworks: :lips: baby....:stillheart: |
Morning, all...hope everyone has been well (f)
It's raining, so no pool time for me today, but it's just as well. It has been so freaking hot, a little cool-down is more than welcome. Have a great day! |
I didn't want to get out to bed this morning either but had to walk those cuties the dogs. Anyway, thanks to whomever left the breakfast. Incubus thanks for the link I will look into that teacakes those look scrumptous!! And the chocolate ones yummy. Anyway, always looking for more strong coffee!! Setting out more coffee and chocolate:chocolate: Everyone have a great 4th of July whatever you do. What do the Floridians do this weekend just curious?? I would go to the beach for sure!!
|
well got the nerve to call the internship site it in Englewood which is good. Close to home I mapped it out about 12 minutes without traffic so I can still come home for lunch and let the dogs out. I think I am only going to work like 3 days and have sometime off for the summer. I have to think where I am going to move to which is in like 3 months from now. I need help should I move to Florida or California?? or maybe Arizona which its warm there all year round but no beach bummer!!

Flying through the kitchen this morning and grabbing a really big mug of dark roast and something to munch on.
Bless the coffee maker! *grin* Hello to Incubus....I have missed a few days in the kitchen, but did you know the Queen was visiting Canada right now? Yes, we had our birthday yesterday, # 143, and some great festivals in each city and the big one on Parliament Hill. I'm prepping an album with the events from the day - our red & white in all its glory. And, this weekend we celebrate Pride # 30. What a way to bring in the month, party party party! Have a good day everyone. Happy end of week! ps i have some red & white jelly beans leftover from yesterday, so I will leave them on the kitchen counter. Enjoy!!! |

wow how great for you! another weekend off the road! enjoy it! Quote:
for some reason that i don't recall i was reading about lamingtons on wikipedia a couple weeks ago- they sound very yummy indeed! it is weird b/c when i work the reference desk i have to look like i am doing more than just sitting there, but i don't want to bring any actual work out there b/c i will get too into it and then start resenting the patrons that ask for help (even tho that is the whole reason i am out there, i know it's horrible) so what i do is pull up wikipedia and click "random article" over and over again- so it looks like reference work but it's really just surfing lol IT NEVER FAILS that i will read about something really random and totally new to me and that topic will come up in coinversation somewhere within the next week- and i get to sound tolly impressive b/c i know all about it lol last week it was (Houston ex-mayor) Kathy Whitmire- on Friday i surfed randomly to her page after getting Van Halen and then clicking Sammy Hagar and then clicking his ex-band montrose and then clicking disambiguation for montrose and getting the Houston neighborhood montrose and then getting Kathy whitmire b/c she got a lot of votes in montrose!!! on sunday my friend mentioned her! and asked what ever happened to her! and i was able to tell her she is now a real estate investor in Hawaii! i still don't remember the path that led me to lamingtons tho Quote:
God save the Queen! |

dc what is your recipe want to share gail |
Quote:
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup chopped dried fruit (currants, raisins, cranberries or your choice) 1 1/4 cups heavy cream Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar with a fork. Add the dried fruit and mix well. 2. Add the cream and stir: It will be quite sticky. Turn the mixture onto a lightly floured board and knead 8 or 9 times. Add a little flour if it's too sticky. Shape the dough into an 8-10 inch flat round. 3. Melt 3 Tablespoons of butter. Pour the butter over the round of dough and make sure the sides are covered as well. (Mush it around with your fingers!) 4. Sprinkle the top with 2 Tablespoons of sugar. 5. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough like a pie into 12 wedges and place the wedges onto a lightly-greased cookie sheet. 6. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown |

A woman after my own heart, nothing, absolutely nothing beats Salt and Vinegar, The King of Crisps ('cept maybe Seabrooks Wasabi flavour) I've never had Lamingtons but I've heard much about them from Aussie mates. How come you were in Aus? Quote:

Poor old Queenie just had her 'allowance' frozen at £7.9 million for the next 20yrs (instead of the usual 10yrs). It must be such a hard life! :winky: |

If I was at home I'd post my Ma's recipe. |

It's been a very quiet day for me, spent puttering around doing this and that, reading a good book, then making flat breads and cooking dinner - my treat for Mrs.I. I may try making biscuits when I return home next week, Mrs.Incubus isn't enamoured about trying them sadly. It's really quite humid here at the moment...It's going to be tough to sleep through this muggy night - no air con here! I hope you're having a lovely evening lipstixgal. Time for us to curl up with Grey's on t.v and then it's bedtime. |

I read the recipe and thought hmmmm...I have dried apricots I've been ignoring. :blink: Of course, the bad news is th!!at I've now eaten 3. Your aunt is a genius! Okay....I realized that I ate so many apricot scones that I forgot to make dinner. :| Leftover beef stew anyone???? |
Good Morning all:hangloose: What should we have for breakfast?? Well strong coffee and tea is on first of all. How about eggs cooked to order with some cheddar and gouda cheeses mixed in, hash browns, bacon, sausage (morningstar of course) and all the fixings for bagels, croissants etc. Have a great day!! sleep if you need to that's where I headed back to bed....:bunchflowers::tea::usa:

G'day Kitcheneers *holds head* seems I had an extra v&t last night bleeeeurgh!! Now that was really silly :seconddoh: Anyhoo, it's a gorgeous day and we've got a barbecue party to go to...I shall be doing a 'turn' of course - if I can remember lyrics and chords! Thank-you for the tea lipstixgal, I need a gallon or so :pendulum: Breakfast? I couldn't possibly, not just yet! I wish y'all a fantastic day with smiles, laughter and love. |
Good morning friends :)
:bringcoffee: Putting on a fresh pot of coffee and :tea: for everyone...and setting out the apricot scones (they turned out fabulous...thanks for the recipe darkcrystal...I LOVE it). I feel like baking cinnamon rolls this morning...the good yeasty kind loaded with brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon and chopped pecans. Mmmmm... This is gonna be a yardwork weekend for me I think...the yard needs mowing, the weeds need pulling, and the climbing roses at the front of the house grew so big with all the rain that they pulled the trellis over...think a little pruning is in order :giggle: Our fireworks are tonight...the little village we live in has a nice little display, we walk down to the park about 5 blocks from the house, sit on a blanket on the grass with the other 1,000 or so folks who live here, have a soft ice-cream cone with sprinkles, and watch the fireworks that they set off over the playing fields. Definitely "small town" but lots of fun. :) Hope you're all having a nice leisurely Saturday morning :rrose: :lips: baby...miss you already :stillheart: |

Well took a walk for the dogs of course!! Had some nice coffee latte with some chocolate and a croissant with butter and jam sweet!! Jo don't work too hard on the lawn its getting hot out there, hopefully the dogs will sleep and I can watch tv!!
|
Iced latte sounds delicious Lips :)
I went out and mowed the front yard, then weeded the really overgrown, horrible side of the front yard...took about an hour and a half and I came in sweaty and filthy. Straight into the shower and laid down for a little bit...and now I'm just flaked out in front of the tv watching the comedy channel. Still have to do the back yard, but that might wait until tomorrow! :) Hope everyone's having a great day! |

Well just watched the weather report and its going to get hot for like 4 days in a row. Oh my thank G-D for a/c to keep us cool!! Leaving a little chocolate for a good night snack:chocolate:
|
I'm feeling like breakfast for dinner...nice cheese omelette, hash browns, fresh strawberries and cream, crispy bacon...crazy, I know :giggle:
Hope everyone is having a nice 4th! :) |

you made some scones? awesome and apricot sounds brilliant! i will be spending the day and night tomorrow with my sister and her family at their beach house...it is in a village that does not have a fireworks ordinance so weill be watching all of her neighbors blow themselves up! She said it is quite a show, it goes on for hours, we can see perfectly from her porch, and they pretty much light up the whole beach....so no driving and no $ and plenty of adult beverages once the cherub goes to sleep Quote:
breakfast for dinner is always a hit with me- bacon and eggs delish any time but it seems especially good at dinner, i'll never understand it....i guess it is such a warm cozy smell- and having it at the end of the day when all of the hard stuff is over, instead of at the beginning of the day with the hard stuff ahead of you- just makes it that much cozier! or something |
Sneaking thru the kitchen on tip toes....just need coffee, heh.
Our Canada Day was great. One day of rest and then it was the 15th Dyke March Day of our 30th Pride. Weather was hot hot hot. The crowds were awesome.....and if you have any kind of social phobia, the streets were not the place to be, it was one huge street party. I don't usually do the festivities two days in a row.......I'm not 19 anymore, so I have to pick and choose my partying very carefully *hee hee* Wishing all my favourite American friends here a very happy 4th of July celebration. All the best, *freyja* |
Good Morning Kitcheneers!! What should we have for breakfast. How about pancakes cooked to order with some scrambled eggs and cheese, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and toast. Sets out strong coffee and :tea::koolaid: tea for those who want it!! I see that freyja came in this morning early, hope you had fun at Pride Freyja!!:rrose:
|
Happy Fourth of July Everyone!!
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and have plenty of fun!! Zimmy |
Good morning all :)
Thank you for breakfast Lips :girleating: I had a little bit of a late start this morning...making a leisurely Sunday breakfast for my son (not something I normally get to do since he's usually with his father) and enjoying that 2nd cup :coffee: now that he's been picked up. Today is another yard work day for me...and maybe getting stuck into some housework as well...with a kid, 4 cats and 2 dogs it's a constant job. Nice to know that I have Monday off as well....yay! :cheer: Getting ready to do a bit more "possession pruning" too...I've done a bunch but realize that I haven't missed a single thing that I got rid of...and need to get packing some more as well...think my plate is full for the weekend. :cheesy: Hope you all have a great day! :rrose: :lips: baby :stillheart: |
