Bought some canned pumpkin at the store last night. The news has been saying it will be hard to find soon due to a bad growing season.

I just saw a field yesterday and wondered why the pumpkins were rotting in the field. That could explain it.

I have canned pumpkin, too. I am going to make it just as filling, no pie crust.

I am going to try a recipe from Hungry Girl

Hi all! Still too busy to think straight!!!! UGH! I need to sneak on more from work instead of trying on my days off.

I did this by accident once and got some very yummy, thin, cookies with lots of burst bubbles. I think I even wrote up the recipe.

Yeah I think you need to work less too and do somethng more important

The cookies were ok - really soft and chewy :lovestruc

Bubble cookies sound like fun :rotfl:

Holy Cow! That is surface of the sun hot and then some :scared1:

Do you guys have air con generally? Here we don't tend to have it as standard as we don't always get a hot summer but most houses have central heating for the winters :cold:

So are you having Christmas at the beach? :santa:

no air con

we are renters so there's not much we can do about it. we have a fan though... :scared:

i think in Sydney maybe 2/3 of homes have air con. noone in my building does though!

i've never been to the beach at Christmas! i think that's a bit of a myth :laughing:

except maybe for the Irish backpackers :rotfl:

but actually i will be in Thailand for Christmas this year! in Chiang Mai, not the beach but still - a bit exotic!

I am very sorry. That is just too darn hot. If I could send you a tub full of ice to cool you off, I would.

thanks Becx! it's not really normal... for November at least. we are guaranteed to get a couple of 40+ days in December/January though. usually the heat builds up over a few days, hits the high mark, then there's a huge summer storm which cools everything down. the storms can be pretty spectacular!

Well I hope it breaks soon! We used to have summers like that where it would be in the early 30's for a few days and then we'd have a thunder storm. But in recent years we've just had wet summers and it hasn't been as warm.

That's approaching Animal Kingdom hot! :rotfl2:

Glad you cooled off in the theatre for a bit at least...hope it's more comfortable there now :goodvibes

Going to plan my holiday feast today...DH doesn't eat turkey so I'll prolly stuff some cornish game hens as our roast beast. Watched the Grinch that Stole Christmas last nite and it made me think of Pete's review of the US character breakfast he did last year so I just made reservations for it for Dec 26 - DH won't know what's going on when we get there :lmao:

cheers,
