Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

what is a moon pie

or that's the kind I'm familiar with. I don't like them, as I don't like marshmallow filling.


Ok, since it's Wednesday:

Come on Keisha, at least if you dance, you might not be as cold. Yeah, right. Still cold, and the 30 plus mph winds yesterday (and I thought they were only 20mph) are still around. Getting our shovels and checking if my DM has salt. Seems we will see snow this week-end.

Buckeev, good to hear mom's on the mend. Sending good wishes her way.

And yay, Mac's purple postings are back. Hope you are getting more settled in the new digs. How did the floor installation go?

Stay warm all, and have a great day!

carole u don't know what you're missing out on camping. i enjoy the outdoors. My kids were sharing camping stories over the holidays as to how much fun they had. when GD asked if we'd take her camping this year, i swear the ground gets harder the older you get.

Camping Not for me I'm afraid........friends asked us to go camping many, many moons ago........told them the only stars I sleep under are 5 stars..........Hotel or nothing for me.......DH and DS are the same thank goodness........Kyle went to an outward bound adventure/camp place with school when he was about 12......came home and said never again! Yeah I couldn't imagine sleeping on solid ground now at my age.......probably wouldn't be able to get back up! Now a huge RV........I could,maybe cope with that for a short time..........

Y'all freezin' yall's North'n tails off up thar in the great Nor East!? About 65 degrees and super bright sunshine here today, but I think another blizzard is on the way. Probably only get to the mid 50's...Brutal.

Been running 'round like a lunatic lately...Just swinging through the quick-serv Dis-Line to say howdy!
Mom's healing up pretty darn good. I told her her I was amazed they actually found a heart in there to operate on...She nearly had another attack laughing!

Happy Hump Day's Eve to all!

Glad your mum is improving.........that's always good to hear.......laughter is always good.........

if carole would ever go camping, she would have a purple color sleeping bag.
janet, tell gd you will put up a pup tent in the living room.
get the air mattress out for yourself as sleeping on a floor is just as hard as the ground.

i slept on the floor in the new house until our furniture arrived.
it sucked.

Another grey day here.........cold, but not freezing.........highlight of my day today is using my new iron......that weighs a ton!!

Calling my auntie on LI later too, catch her up with all our plans that are made so far...........

Apart from that......quiet Wednesday...........

I know this answer

It was created in Chattanooga Tn
After I drink coffee I will
Be back and write out about moon pies

 

[Lynne G]

OK Mac, enjoy your coffee. I'll be over the moon to hear how moon pies came to be.

Ate the last of my tastykake, so now looking for something else sweet. Had a large cup of tea so far.

 

[macraven]

My moon pie recipe is in my blue room so I'll get it later

Installers finished one room yesterday and starter the larger room earlier this morning.

Will have the floors done today and cross that job off the list

Weather looks bad all over the place
See that Florida is going to have awful weather today

 

[Robo56]

Morning everybody having my cup of coffee this morning checking out what's happening .
Wow moon pies, toasties, bananas, steak grilling you all are making me hungry this morning.

It's says the high here today is supposed to be 67 and 78 by Friday then back down to 60's Saturday.
High yesterday was 60 cloudy. Couple friends and I went near ocean to do some shopping yesterday and lunch. Wind off ocean was very cool. To cool to walk on the beach comfortably. Felt sorry for the tourists who were staying in hotels on beach.

You can get moon pies at Cracker Barrel.

Buckeev great to hear you mom is doing better.

Have a great Wednesday everyone

Least it's started now......such a big job will be huge tick off the list of "to do" jobs now

The friends I mentioned to you last week are in Orlando now.........they have three weeks left and so far it's been ok for them, looks beautiful so far today on one of the webcams, but it's not looking so good later........still, least they're in Orlando...........staying in the Gaylord Palms and a few nights in Miami later in month.......

Just having a cuppa..........

nwahahaha that shoud be embroided on a pillow!

lynne - any excuse to do my humpty humpty dance

BagO - yes, moon pies are conventionally known as those nasty, artery clogging marshmellow-y stuffed abominations. In my neck of the woods, anything, either sweet or savory, that is tossed between two pieces of white bread & cooked in the contraption = a moon pie. I've even heard of moon pie white lightening made with the commercially-packaged confections.

mac - got a feeling you have a verrrrry long list, good work. Yep, low 60's in Floriida, how will the locals muster thru? to the bluers lol

 

[Kivara]

Ugh moonpies! (the packaged ones) They are like a processed s'more.

Love camping, although Keisha, never heard them called moon pies...we've always called it a jaffle iron. Although, I have heard, on camping forums, them being called pie irons, piggy pies, sandwich makers, and a hundred other things.

Hope everyone is staying warm! They're calling for a foot of snow this weekend here.

And Mac, I'm happy everything is going together for you, although I'm sure in the midst of it, it seems like it'll go on forever.

 

[schumigirl]

Hey Kivara my aunt in LI was just telling me they expect heavy snow this weekend.......hope it's not as bad as you think where you are.......


I adore marshmallows.......anything marshmallow.......

Was looking recently to make a marshmallow cheesecake that had a Rice Krispie treat base.....basically Rice Krispies and golden syrup........far too sweet for me to eat now so I didn't make it........I couldn't have resisted that!!!

Another quiet night in front of tv I think.........watched The Gift last night.....another nonsense Shyamalan movie that I guessed what the twist was about 10 minutes in........DH hates when I do that ........we flicked through to the end eventually.....hard to watch the way it was filmed....like Blair Witch......all video camera.

Hope to pick a better one tonight.........

 

[Kivara]

Hello Schumi. I love marshmallows, plain, cooked, rice krispy treats, fluff in a jar, etc. But, I cannot stand packaged things with marshmallow fluff. It's all rubbery and tasteless. To me, at least.
Thanks for the head's up on The Gift, I cannot stand Blair Witch. Eventhough I usually guess the plot twist in Shamalayan's movies, I think they are fun (with a few exceptions of course.)

I know what you mean about packaged things......hate that rubbery mess........

I did love The Sixth Sense.....and I think I was the only person in the UK not to know the truth about Bruce Willis character........so I was pleased I got to see it before someone spoiled it for me.......

 

[Kivara]

The Sixth Sense was what started it for me...I was flabbergasted at the end as well! I know a lot don't care for his works, but I also loved The Village, Signs, and The Lady in the Water.

 

[schumigirl]

Lol......it was watching The Village that I really annoyed DH by guessing the "twist" and blurting it out just after the movie started......never seen Lady in the Water.

The Insidious movies are quite good......the third one scared the bejesus out of me last week....it was really a prequel to the other 2, but good! The Conjuring is another that is a real spooky one.........



Having a Cosmopolitan tonight.......bought some rather large cocktail glasses.......so had to try them out........

 

[keishashadow]

never met a cosmo i didn't like or get tired re-watching the 6th Sense

kivara - jaffle iron, hmmm never heard that term. Blair witch gave me motion sickness.

 

[RAPstar]

Did I ever mention how exhausting two jobs are? Cause it's exhausting.

So I'm pushing back the move to come out to Florida for my friend Mike's graduation. And Disney. Or maybe Disney. I'm kinda torn between doing Disney and Universal. But I get free tickets at Disney, and with Universal's current options getting an AP would be cheaper for the time I'm staying. But I probably won't be back for a while. But after an amazing Disneyland trip, WDW just seems so........lackluster? And I'd love to get some serious Harry Potter time in. What to do what to do??

 

[RAPstar]

The Sixth Sense was what started it for me...I was flabbergasted at the end as well! I know a lot don't care for his works, but I also loved The Village, Signs, and The Lady in the Water.

Finally someone other than me that actually enjoys The Lady in the Water!!!

 

[schumigirl]

Robbie........go for Universal........it's so much better than wdw Working 2 jobs is gotta be tough on you.........but worth it in the end I'm sure.......



I googled Lady in the Water........I had seen it.......gave up about half way according to DH.......I don't really remember it very well, but don't think it's for me.........

It's freezing here today. Been -3 all day and never changed since first thing this morning......may not be as cold as "some" in the rest of the world, but in the UK.......it's cold!

mac........it's Thursday.........

 

[keishashadow]

I designate today an official thirsty thursday. Grab a mug, tea or coffee will work for now lol, and cheer the fact that January is half-way outtahere!

andy - if it's free, it's for me I'd be hard-pressed to pass up complimentary disney tix, especially considering how ridiculously expensive even the restricted date tickets are now. Any plans to do new HP @ USH combined w/DL trip in the future?

 

[Kivara]

Robbie...I'm with Keisha...even though I have no interest in Disney anymore, I just can't pass up something free. Sounds like you need a break...two jobs...wow!

Schumi...keep warm! Have another cocktail...that always helps warm the toes! And I'm not surprised you switched off Lady in the Water...I think Robbie and I might be the only 2 people in the world that enjoyed that one! At least it seems that way!

Keisha...I'll have a cup of tea. We might be halfway out of January, but it's just getting full blown winter here...no break til mid-March usually. Looking forward to the next BIG holiday...Super Bowl Sunday! WOOT!
