Dash the window glass to shivers!

And three wild lads were we.
Thou on the land, and I on the sand,
and Jack on the gallows tree!”

Happy New Year, guys!

Office life can be interesting at times.
The social committee decided to hold a cookie competition today (Friday). Contestants could either make their own cookies or purchase their favorite type of cookie for judging, I opted for a little of both.
Why not take an ordinary orange colored Voortam Vanilla Wafer and modify it?
While deciding what to do with the wafer, I had the Spotnicks playing "Orange Blossom Special" in the background (it's about a train) then it hit me!
I present "The Orange Blossom Special" ...
Recipe:
Voortman orange wafer cookies,
spread a bed of melted chocolate on top
Press small marshmallows into chocolate bed.
Line cookies up in the form of a train on pizza box lid.
Then play this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DhLn...endscreen&NR=1
btw- I came in at about 6th place, but my presentation along with being the only contestant to incorporate a theme...
got a few laughs
That thar was some fancy finger pickin!
On the theme of confectionary that looks like something else, Mrs P introduced Mushroom Buns from darkest Lincolnshire into this household many years ago. Thats a mini bakewell tart with chocolate butter icing on top that has grooves in it radiating outwards from the centre - to look like mushroom glans- and a marzipan stalk on top.
A quick image search on google shows they are unknown in the wider world.
ay up
I'm not an expert in the field of marketing cakes - or even promoting the idea for a new type of cake - but I would suggest that if Mrs P is explaining this confectionery innovation to the ladies at the Women's Institute in the same terms as you have used here, what might be killing the thing stone dead is the use, in a butter icing context, of the word 'glans'.Originally Posted by prendrelemick
Just a thought.
I'll admit "Chocolate Glans" are underused in the field of confectionary decoration. I don't know what I was thinking about - but GILLS are what I meant to type.

Sorry...
Should have stuck with the beers and ales. hell the wife even bought me a box of fabulous beer for Christmas (I knew I married her for some reason) including four bottles of Avinger Celebrator:
Ballast Point Imperial Porter (virtually like stout meets espresso!):
and half a dozen others that I can't wait to delve into.
Unfortunately (or otherwise) tonight was Mexican night... Cazuelada, Enchilladas, Tamales, Queso and Chorizo... and Tequila!!!
Tequila in Margaritas and Tequila shots!!!
Now I'm finishing off the evening the only way possible...
With the Stones blasting:
And a big glass of Bourbon!!!
Hahhahahahahahhahhahahhahahahhahhahahhahhaha!
If I get up tomorrow I'll let you know.

I don't think I'd want a slice of that cake.
Just a single solitary bottle of Newkie Brown of the Christmas beer remains at our house. Were I to go on a bender (or "strike t'rant" as its called locally) it would have to be on Mrs P's Baileys Irish Cream.
ay up
Happy New Year guys and may I just ask about a member:
Anyone knows where Mutatis is? I just thought I ask.
it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good
it fly
I can’t say that “chocolate gills” sounds any more appetizing.
It was only a matter of time, could have been anyone of us.
My God man, what were you [not] thinking? Ale, tequila and bourbon!Should have stuck with the beers and ales. hell the wife even bought me a box of fabulous beer for Christmas (I knew I married her for some reason) including four bottles of Avinger Celebrator:

“Ballast” is appropriate, that stuff looks like it could keep a Zeppelin down.
I chuckled at the label, imagining the battle raging in your gut between the three belligerents.

Ehem, nice weather we’re having wouldn’t you say?
How’s the Thames flowing these days?

Ok…let’s discreetly duck around the corner of the bar.
All I can tell you is he is banned
[They emrge from behind the bar tipping hats at passersby]-
Well then, how ‘bout we head back in the bar, I hear Parker is serving up some wonderful rum cake.

That right there is one of the greatest rock-n-roll albums to ever spin at thirty three and a third, IESHO (in El Sancho's humble opinion).
Not too sure about the coffee beer though. Being wired and drunk at the same time might have consequences. The last time I found myself in that condition, I stated, to no one in particular, "I'm going to do something!"
And I did.
Anyway, how about this one:
I just like live music. The Midnight Rambler track gets me going every time - a bluesy rock-n-roll fandango, or something like that. Wish I would've been there, but I was only around 8 at the time.
Uhhhh...
