Here we go, prepare yourself... Diet Coke sucks! Ok...there ya go...bandage your wounds and let this be a lesson to ya. Miss Ima, I now have no choice but to fill a squirt gun with Diet Coke and chase you around my yard. *squirt squirt squirt*

I guess we are guilty of being, shall we say over protective at times, but we are a group:) @Charo I liked that its Prettier:P @Lilliie, was that a BBQ at the Barn or a BBQ of the barn;) The restaurant would be a great idea, would you like to work with Charolette on arranging it? /Dee tries to slide the buck to Charo and Mickey;) I think it would be a hoot. Well Dee, the barn is constantly being BBQ'd as is the tree house. I'll fire the grill up again tonight maybe. I don't think there is anything else going on.

Mickey Vandeverre wrote: was reading the thread from start to finish....since you all have such a ...how shall I say...."intriguing" reputation. seems that some of the history might be missing have you all checked on Storm this week? last time I saw him we were about to probably get banned for a thread (did not happen on my end)....and he was getting ready for a Storm. did the Ladies check on him? I think the restaurant thing would be fun for a date. Way back...when I first arrived...had a date take me to a really cool restaurant, but it's not there anymore. It had a wait staff....which made it more fun. Probably hard for someone to pull off having a wait staff all day in SL. But it sure did add to the effect. Hi Mickey, The restaurant sounds really interesting, I'd love to do something like that in SL sometime. I wonder if there are any places like that around here anymore. I definatly want to do another BBQ at the barn soon.

MornAfterEvening everyone! Gonna be a busy day for me today. But I have a speical recipe to share with Quinn. 1 (18 ounce) chocolate cake mix (I prefer a "fudge" cake mix with pudding in the mix, but this recipe will work with whatever you hav) 1 (12 ounce) can Diet Coke 1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip Free or 1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip Lite Directions: Preheat oven to temperature on cake mix box Grease a 9x13 pan. Combine cake mix and Diet Coke in large mixing bowl. Mix according to directions on box. (For example, my favorite brand says to mix at medium speed for 2 minutes!). Pour into 9x13 pan. Bake 5 minutes less than the recommended time on the box. For example, if the box says to bake a 9x13 cake for 28 minutes, bake your Diet Coke Cake for 23. Cake is done when a fork or toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack. When cooled, frost with Cool Whip topping. Refrigerate leftovers. (I never have any!). Enjoy! We can have this at our next lunch. Love and hugs to you all!!!

Massive hugs for you Valerie!

Good MornAfterEvening everyone! I brought special coffee and donuts.

Morning Lia, be safe!!!! Big hugs!

Hugs Hippie, Lia, Val, Wildcat, Lillie and the best of Saturday's to you- Morning to you too Dee! I actually slept in for once! You are absolutley correct, Hippie is a fine host indeed! Pass the coffee please!

Maddy, you captured it beautifully. You knew what I was thinking as I moved those globes around, the mixture of emotions that blended together that no words could encompass. You managed to convey it here. I never shared with anyone what my heart was saying to me as I put them out, but you knew. What you have described here is what we know of SL. The family that we've formed and come to look forward to spending time with for a short while each night. My time in SL is about being with that family. Being connected though apart. That is a concept that came to me while you and I were discussing that very night some time later. I quoted you in my profile pics because what you said touched home so beautifully. You said "...we needn't all be physically together to "connect" and to be part of something larger than ourselves. Even if that something larger is a nutty night on your sim. Each of us was pulled through the glass into that shared experience." This is what it is all about. We can't all be together in real life, but we can and do in SL. We can share things that we aren't necessarily able to in real life. We can hold each others hands and be part of an atmosphere that we create together. It's all very amazing. I think about what you said in your post here a lot. We are all different from different places, and different backgrounds, yet we all are touched by many of the same things. This is how it should be. I am tremendously grateful for the friendships I've formed and for the love I feel. It is bliss.

Dresden Ceriano wrote: Okay so, here's the issue... it may be that I'm not familiar enough with the viewer I'm using, but sometimes I completely miss people's IMs. I may have set up my viewer so that when someone IMs me (I don't mean when they first IM me... it's when I'm already in a conversation with them and they reply to me), I miss it. Does this ever happen to you? If I'm being honest, there are times when I'll get an IM from someone and ignore it for a while... then I'll say something like, "Oh sorry, I was afk." It doesn't happen often, at least not on purpose (see the second sentence) and I usually am being truthful when I say it. Sometimes I'm not though. Do you ever lie to people like that? Of course, I never, ever really lie about that kind of thing, how dare you accuse me of that? =P ...Dres (I may not respond right away... I could be afk.) Is this why you didn't give me a hug the other day?

/me waves Hiya Cupcake!

Hi Val! Big hugs to you!

Yay!! Congrats Cat! Have some more mousie cake to celebrate

Oooh Lia, I'm nothin' special! There is no need to be sorry you missed it. There is pleanty of time. Hugs!! Welcome home!!!

I am going with lively, slightly naughty, semicivilized, polite, but unsubdued as the correct describing words. Can't wait for the next time... (((hugs))) Thank you for coming out last night Cin! I'm so glad you made it! I promise next time to be better hehe. I hope that you had fun though. I love your description! Hugs!

I love modern cookware as well Ave, but sometimes the old cast iron is the only way to go. I can't think of a better way to make corn bread then baked right in the iron skillet! It's also awesome to take on camping trips. I had a whole set of cast iron cook ware at one time, but it dissapeared when my ex left. I loved making beef stew over an open fire. *sighs*

MornAfterEvening all! I second that with

DQ Darwin wrote: hahahah Hi Keli, hugs:) @Lillie I remember my great grandmother swore you just wiped them out while hot. She claimed washing them spoiled the flavour. Never got sick from her cooking, as I remember, but it was a hoot watching the faces around the table:P It's true! Actually the more you wash it with soap, the quicker it will rust. 1. Clean the skillet immediately after use, while it is still hot or warm. (Avoid soaking the pan or leaving it in the sink, or it may rust.) 2. Wash the skillet by hand using hot water and a sponge or stiff brush. (Avoid using the dishwasher, soap, or steel wool, as these may strip the pan's seasoning.) 3. To remove stuck-on food, scrub the pan with a paste of Kosher salt and water. Stubborn food residue may also be loosened by boiling water in the pan. 4. Thoroughly towel dry the skillet or dry it on the stove over low heat. 5. Using a cloth or paper towel, apply a light coat of vegetable oil or melted shortening to the inside of the skillet. Some people also like to coat the outside. 6. Store the skillet in a dry place. • Using soap, steel wool, or other abrasives is not the end of the world, but you may need to re-season the skillet. If the skillet is well-seasoned from years of use, a small amount of mild soap may be used without doing much damage – just be sure to rinse it well and oil it after drying. • Remove rust using steel wool or by rubbing it with half a raw potato and a sprinkle of baking soda (seriously, it works!). Again, it may be necessary to re-season the pan. http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/how-to/how-to-clean-a-cast-iron-skillet-home-hacks-107747 Re-seasoning: 1. Preheat oven to 325°F. 2. Wash the skillet with warm, soapy water and a sponge or stiff brush. (Cast iron should not normally be washed with soap, but it's fine here since the pan is about to be seasoned.) 3. Rinse and thoroughly dry the skillet. 4. Using a cloth or paper towel, apply a thin coat of vegetable oil or melted shortening to the inside and outside of the skillet. 5. Place the skillet upside down on the oven's center rack. 6. Place a sheet of aluminum foil below the rack to catch any drips. 7. Bake for an hour. 8. Turn off heat and allow to the skillet to cool completely before removing from oven. A seasoned skillet is smooth, shiny, and non-stick. You'll know it's time to re-season if food sticks to the surface or if the skillet appears dull or rusted http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/how-to/how-to-season-a-cast-iron-skillet-home-hacks-107614 That's how my great grampy taught me

DQ Darwin wrote: Aaaah life in the fast lane Lillie. A question do you wash your frying pan, the cast iron one that is? I clean it immediatly after use with hot water then dry it by heating it on the stove top. Once in a while I wash it with dish soap and water then season it.
