It just gets better and better....

A definite case of mistaken iDENTity.

Don't worry, Joey. It will be well and truly stirred by now.

PS Adding my prayers and best wishes too, Tim.

 

:cry

 

That was a crazy day all the way around. Those doctors I mentioned were working on a woman who tried to commit suicide, that was unnerving hearing that, my baby had a temp of 105, then my neighbor who went with me for support ended up in the next stall, turns out she had a seizure in the corridor. Bad day

 

Can the milk be substituted for soy? I know that baking is chemistry, so swapping out an ingredient could possibly ruin it. Anyone know?

 

I can't do cow-milk, due to lacking a certain digestive enzyme... I will try with soy and report back!

 

Here's hoping it doesn't end up like mine.:banghead 'Er indoors refuses to let me in the kitchen again. Don't know why she's complaining, it only took her 45 minutes to tidy up.:hammer. She also called me a f:*** a:***

 

Unlike some, I know what the word "mix" means when I see it in a recipe...

Using organic vanilla soy milk instead of cow milk worked GREAT! Augie, find some soy milk, and microwave away! :highfive

 

It probably did... I grabbed a spoon and ate it from the mug, without tipping it up, but that looks close to mine. I put it on my blog

All the icecream in my freezer is sorbet. And soy ice cream is really good. Very creamy.

 

I don't like eggnog

 

So make it "It just gets better and better... if you like eggnog".

PS shouldn't you people be in bed?What time is it?

 

:confused

It's mid-afternoon. What country are you in?

 

Very enthusiastic, as long as my husband is the one involved. :-D

 

It takes one to know one, I guess.

 

Oops! I've got a bit of a blind spot for the word mix. Will try again tomorrow. Ooooooh, The missus has just seen this post and told me if I even think about going in the kitchen she will take great pleasure in turning me into a eunuch.....or words to that effect.

By the way, I can take the sarcasm, it's not my fault I'm obtuse.

 

Phew!!! :-o:-o:-o
I knew I was leaving myself open for that one, but I didn't expect it to go quite that far!!!

I'm in Australia - South East corner. Probably not far from Temeria (???), as the crow flies.10.44 Sunday morning.

 

If you didn't help her clean up the mess you created, I can see why... first rule of kitchen work is that if you use it, you clean it. If you're not willing to do that then you're just going to have to miss out on the cake.

No, that wasn't sarcasm. :wine

 

Then you are almost exactly 18 hours ahead of me.

Temeria is a fictional place. It's the name of the country that the game The Witcher takes place in, and Vizima is the capitol. I like that game a lot, and it's one of the more unforgettable and convincing settings I have seen in a game in a very long time so I put it in my profile as a way of paying tribute to a great game.

 

In time only, no doubt!

Nice. I guess I've done the same thing, but used where I live.

Agree with this, but only if you're the only one to EAT it. Otherwise, those who eat (other than the cook) clean.

 

Yeah, apologies. I normally do clean up, I was just so interested/shocked in my chocolate bisque it went completely out my head......well, she went mental. I offered but that woman thing came through in her. What is it called again....? Oh, yes....stubbornness.

OK, my mistake, sorry.

Anyway, we've come to a compromise. She is going to do the cake and I will tidy up and wash dishes.

 

Thanks Mimsy, I'll give it a shot then!

 

Yup! LOL

 

Is this anything to do with the biopsy sample they took or is it related to Diane's illness?

I feel for her, I'm such a baby when it comes to pain.

More best wishes and prayers are ongoing.

 

I'd be giving the doctors an earful. Those can be deadly, and they should know better. :tas

 

I'm sure Tim"s only stash is cupcakes

 

Pneumothorax, perhaps? Not fun, but treatable, unfortunately, as you observe, the treatment does not involve cake, or even ice cream.

 

Can't keep a good woman down

 

Better load her up on the tranqs, Tim. Pneumothorax is not really a thing to mess around with like that. Do they know the cause? Was it physical trauma or something else? Sometimes you really need to heed what the Dr.s say and this is one of them.

 

Hehehe, sounds like my mum, she never gave in to anybody or anything!

 

Hi Tim, I'm wishing Diane all the best, and tell her to take it easy.... It isn't often she can, so tell her to relax, and take it easy... A Pneumothorax is not really a thing to mess around with, for sure, and she should listen to the Dr's. Best of wishes to both of you, and are you cooking? :wave

 

I finally looked that up, it's a collapsed lung. That was my big fear coming home from LA after my surgery with nothing but road for the better part of the way.
If Diane is anything like me it makes me nervous to sit and relax, not my nature.

 

I did see a truck carrying a load of PCs... will that do? :confused

 

I've got access to a fork lift truck. It's not fast, but could do the job. Might be a bit of a pain getting it over there.

 

Hi Tim, thanks for the update. I hope all goes well, for sure.. :wave
Best of Luck to ya both, and hang in there. As for sleeping, plug in another movie, and she will snooze right thru it, besides, it is probably good for her now.. I think rest is good anytime you can get it!:-D

 

Tranqs, TimW, tranqs, that's why the doc gave 'em to ya. :zzz

Or you can just rent a movie and save the meds for yourself! Whatever works!

Get Pirates of the Caribbean, At World's End. Worked for me. If you've seen it, commiserations. If you haven't, congratulations.

 

Just a line to give my best wishes to Diane on her appointment with her surgeon tomorrow (today, here in the UK.) Hope she is feeling better and the pneumothingy has made itself scarce. Hope you are still remaining positive. Prayers and good luck from the McGuinness clan.
