Bass,
Tell your mother thank you. My wife has decided she wants that cake for her birthday. Sigh. I don’t know what I got myself into šCake was a huge hit. It was must like my grandmothers.
Thanks again. It brought back great memories.I made the cake. Holy cow that is time consuming. I hope it is good. Will more tomorrow.
Merry ChristmasUmmmm, Rick, is that anything like the last 4 (or 5) times that it was for real? Or did I completely miss the sarcasm due to being in a festive Christmas mood. If that really is true then Santa Baby I believe in you.
Sorry, I thought the quotes and my past history would have been enough to denote my sarcasm. To say I am skeptical of anything happening to them is an understatement.
until the hammer of Thor comes down Iām not either
“This time its for real”
I doubt he gets three games. I bet he is back after one. The “indefinite” suspension is just something to tell the media until this blows over.
And now Grayson “The mule” Allen kicks another player for a third time. K gets arrogant in the post game. Why would he not continue to do this? He has not been punished by K nor the ACC for either of the two infractions. This double standard is one of the big reasons I just don’t bother with college basketball anymore.
Bass,
Quick question. You reference 2/3 cup boiling water in the icing but you don’t use it. I assume it is added to the sugar and syrup.
Help?I like to hear how the team played. I want to see this team gel and play good defense. They do that and who knows what happens.
Bass,
Do you have the recipe?Rick I will ask my mom. Shes 80 something now and still sharp as a knife when it comes to old family recipes. None to my knowledge has ever been penned to paper.
Due to her age, she does not cook like she used to for the holidays, even her special coconut cake is a special surprise considering the pain staking work to do it by my mom and her mom and grandmomās standards. Its not easy to even find a whole coconut now in any grocery store. Growing up, a bag containing tangerines, fake jellybean style orange slice looking candy and whole coconut was as common gift received at the church Christmas program.
That would be nice if you could get it. I would love to surprise my mother with that cake.
As to when I found out, I don’t remember how old I was but I wandered into the dinning room and found all of the easter bunny candy. I figured out it was all a sham. I was crushed.
Roo,
I did a gingerbread house with the kids last night. I hate the stuff but they love it. They eat the candies while I am not looking and then demolish the house in a week or so.As for the coconut cake! I like it after its set in the frig for a day. Mouth watering delight. My mom made one that I would crack the coconut and shred the while delicacy meat inside with a hand held grader. Little things like that was pain stacking but worth every minute of work.
Bass,
Do you have the recipe?There is not enough brain bleach in the entire worldā¦
Which would you wanted cleansed more, this conversation or the play of the basketball team?
just sayin’
Another Fruit cake fact: Most all deserts prior to refrigeration contained preservativesā¦.
mostly rum and other liquorsā¦ and back before Bārer āRoo and Greywolf were born, It took a month to properly āsoakā a good fruitcakeā¦ so the Baptists could eat itā¦ although my great aunt refused on principle, regardless.Being eating good fruitcakes all my lifeā¦ thatās isā¦ until all my ācooksā passed on to sainthood.
Itās todayās commercial oneās without alcohol that aināt worth messing with.. although Claxton down in Georgia makes a pretty good one that you can āsoakā yourselfā¦.
Never been a big fan of eggnogā¦ same good cooks that made the fruitcakes, always had boiled custard without or without the bourbon, depending on your age or denominationā¦.
that aināt hard to doā¦ just gotta keep the heat down and donāt stop stirringā¦
My grandmother (95 years old and doesn’t take any daily medication) makes a spectacular boiled custard every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is a work of art.
I have only had one fruitcake that I truly enjoyed and it was made by a former co-worker and it was soaked for a month. It was absolutely delicious.As to missing recipes, my other grandmother used to make a coconut cake using a real coconut but her recipe was lost when she passed. It was a little bit of heaven on earth.
Sigh, now I am hungry which pales as a problem compared to the grey one.
Gott get that sportscoat at Goodwill or what?
Same place he got his ‘defense for dummies’ book.
This is a fantastic piece and highlights the main problem I have with Gottfrie (no D in that name). It is bewildering why he does not address it. Everyone, and I mean everyone, sees it. I just don’t understand it and it will keep him from every accomplishing anything worthwhile.
Heck any kicker that can actually kick I don’t where he is from.
Maybe we can find an illegal before the wall is built.
