GM's thread about nothing (8 Viewers)

My daughter is turning 10 years old and we are attempting to make her birthday cake. We have done this every year and somehow it is always too cooked on the edges and perfectly cooked about 1/2 an inch in. We have always scrapped the project and ended up running up to the bakery at Publix. I know it is just a box cake and I know I'm a bad cook, but after so many years of having this happen, I'm wondering if bakers just cut the over cooked section off and then frost. It's not like anyone would notice after the cake is frosted.

Turn the oven down 50 degrees next time.

No. My wife has made (and still does on a limited basis) birthday and wedding cakes. Hell I even stepped in and made a wedding cake when she hurt her shoulder.What're you baking the cake in? An Easy Bake Oven?

MIL and one of her good friends were over today. We had dinner, and I was cleaning up dishes and walked back into the dining room, to hear my MIL say, in regards to a shampoo that she'd used, that it "made her t*** tingle" upon contact.

I literally turned on heel and walked right out. :X

Your townhouse sounds awesome!!!

Come visit! I'm not going to be there too much longer. But not having to do yardwork while simultaneously being a stones through form an OTB and 100 different kinds of beer on tap + a strip club in your back pocket? Not bad living.

Man, I would love too. We would both end up at least dead and probably divorced.

Then you both could live together in the townhouse and walk 5.5 miles each day wearing wife beaters and holding hands.

I'll run my 5.5 miles topless, thank you

Having a friend over for Happy Hour in about 15 minutes and I'm in the midst of preparing a meat and cheese platter. On the way home, based on Rud's reommendation, I picked up some Cracked Pepper and Olive Oil Triscuits. I'll be honest, I doubt they can beat my favorites: Rosemary and Olive Oil.

I gotta go with the Cracked Pepper here :(

I've had a Tanner-ful 24 hours, starting yesterday morning when I spent 3 hours driving all around Jacksonville trying to track down a package. I wound up in some sketchier parts of town, and the only real highlight of the morning was this.

Then, this morning, the BF - upon taking a closer look at the t-shirt I slept in - asked where Oildale University was. Umm... Err...

Had to drive through the Dale just now. here you go

So is that where the University is?

#### me. The last two nights the left side of my stomach and my left nut hurt. After doing my 5.5 walk this morning, now the right side of my stomach and my right nut hurts. Mrs. SLB thinks I have a double hernia. #### me.

Best wishes GB. Here's hoping this is just an injury of overindulgence.

I don't think its a hernia but something isn't right. I guess I'll find out soon.

My wife just left for yet another cousin's baby shower.

These people are going to drive me to the poor house.

I'm not sure who this one is for either. I wonder is she is married or is going to marry the baby daddy.

I would like to beat whomever wired our house.

For example, when you turned the lights to the garage on from the laundry room on, the motion sensor light outside of the garage stops working. I took care of that by removing the switch.

Yesterday I discovered that the light wasn't burned out above our sink. I figured the switch must have gone bad. The switch is in a double junction box with the other controlling the garbage disposal. I turn the disposal on, flip a couple of circuits on the breaker box and the disposal goes off. I proceed to remove the switch when SUPRISE!!, the MFer is hot. I got quite a jolt to say the least. What freaking idiot runs wire like that?!!

The good news is that I feel much better now.

Oh, yeah. I'm watching Dateline right now about the Ruskie spy ring. Holy crap would I love to put that Anna Chapman under the hot light.

I started a 10-day fast yesterday. Just a bit of mental and physical cleansing. Mr. krista4 kindly mentioned that he felt bad bringing home dinner and eating it in front of me, to which I responded that it was no problem. Then he decided simply to "cook some pasta or something"--again, no problem.

So what did he decide to fix to put on his pasta? That's right, the most scrumptious-smelling invention of all time--bacon. BACON!

Total dickmitten move.

10 day fast? Are you protesting something or just insane?

So two switches on the same box were controlled by two different breakers? I hope that's not normal.I had something similar happen a while back. The switch for our dining room light stopped working. Since I was the one who installed the dimmer switch I figured it was a loose wire. I tell my kid to keep an eye on a powerstrip that was plugged into an outlet no more than 3 feet below the light switch I was working on.

I flip off one breaker and my kid tells me the outlet is off. I go inside and double check. He's right. So I take off the switchplate and can see the loose wire. As I'm moving the switch itself the dining room light flickers. The light switch and the outlet, even though they were on the same wall--3 feet from each other were on different breakers.

1) She's one of her friends from the 70's, but a family friend of ours. We would stay at her place in NYC pretty frequently when we lived back east. She's fairly eccentric, but a nice person.2) To clarify, t### rhymes with "thought", not "bits."3) YSR> It's Trader joe's Tea Tree Tingle Shampoo.

Brought home our two new dachshunds last night (pic).

We told the kids to get anything off the floor they didn't want chewed on, but my wife left a bunch of business materials in a box next to her desk. This morning? :confetti: - bits of paper and a chewed up DVD (case and disk) strewn about the dining room.

Probably not a good idea to leave them free to explore the house overnight.

I love bacon, but I've found that tearing up prosciutto into thin slices and throwing it in a frying pan for a couple seconds gives me a flavorful alternative with a similar crisp and flavor but substantially better for you. I don't like cold prosciutto at all.

Agree with those promoting pancetta. Greatest cured meat invention ever. Not a great option if being healthy is your main concern, though.
