Yes, they looked just fine on my screen, too.

And wow, Robin, this is super early for you.

Isn't it? She's going to accuse me of efficiency again, but I wasn't going to check on posts yet! I was as surprised as anyone! I was just coming to see what the forum was doing, and poof, there was a post.
(Robin, both the day before yesterday, and the day before that, I broke two glasses. This time I did manage not to cut myself, but it's only a matter of time until we have no glasses, and I'm drinking straight from the milk jug, all wrapped in bandages like a mummy. Come on, I have to be good at something, and it may as well be the copy and paste buttons!)

Oh no, not the deathly efficiencyagain. Spare us that. And, please, you're not just good at this. There are the ferrets (keeping pets alive and healthy means you're good) the spinning, the knitting, the writing, the blogging, the flute playing, the humour, the Jodi-ness. You're accomplished at so much. (I hope the glasses cuts aren't too bad: I recommend Duralex glasses made of tempered glass: they shatter into thousants of square bits that are hell to sweep up but very hard to cut yourself on. Also hard to break: Five of those glasses survived all three of us growing up!) Otherwise go for a metal goblet: silver (anti-bacterial) or stainless steel (easy to clean).

But I really like this one and to me it demonstrates the essential deranged irrationality of computers. Science, schmience. I discovered that the photos didn’t disappear if I erased ‘some text here’ r e a l l y s l o w l y.††
I have so very many of these stories, and many are to do with getting photos from a to b where "to" involves computer/scanner/etc. Sigh. It s t r e t c h e s us Robin lol.
And this is my latest battle with pictures - Halloween

Oh dear! I'm very sorry! I forgive you!!!! I take it all back! Please STOP breaking things! Especially things you can CUT YOURSELF ON!!!!
|
I'd sure like to stop! And really, I don't cut myself that often. Usually I just break them and have to make sure I find all the pieces. These last two were easy -- I just knocked them over and they made a big smiley face crack in the glass. Nothing to worry about! (Except what we'll be drinking from if we don't buy new glasses eventually.)

Ooh, good to know, especially since we will be needing new glasses soon. (Heh.) Poor Jeff just looks sad about the dwindling supply of glasses. My mother-in-law went as far as to buy us a couple big plastic glasses, saying there was no way I could break them.
Give me time.

I HAVE broken a Duralex glass, when I was about ten years old at school. They had been through the washer and put in a tower of glasses while hot and wet; I ended up with two glasses which simply wouldn't separate. The teacher on duty, a harridan of the first order, was glaring at me because I was preventing the second sitting coming into the dining hall, so in desperation I tapped the pair of glasses on the table... Just like a cartoon, a crack slowly grew around one glass, feathering into arteries, capillaries and then with a "clink" the whole lot shattered. Oops!

Here I have to admit I have never seen a cinnamon roll - it is pure fantasy lol. I imagine it as glazed flaky pastry like a giant pain au chocolat - how far out am I????

Hi Jodi, southdowner, Blackbear, any other moderator: is anyone else having trouble crashing constantly off the forum? I am. Pretty much any click to another page will wipe me out. I can get into the forum from the blog and make ONE click to a thread, but as soon as I try to click back to 'blog discussions' for example I pretty well invariably crash. Usually the second click to anywhere does it. THIS IS GETTING OLD FAST.

Oh dear, no, I haven't had a problem with that at all. I don't know what to tell you! Are you using your fancy new computer? Or one of the older ones that might not like forums as well? I wish I could help!

Not a problem here and I have currently a computer from the ark but very good broadband... sorry, I don't know what to do 
The last problem I had with crashing was my computer being low on capacity, and with my last internet provider I sometimes crashed because they dropped the ball, but now I'm on cable, so that works...

Mmm, yes. I did a Google image search cinnamon rolls. There were lots of better pictures, but they were huge and would have squashed the forum with their dough and icing. Mmm.
I really want a cinnamon roll now. If you dress Hazel like one, be careful of passers-by! They might start chewing on her!

Cinnamon rolls--Sunshine's proper cinnamon rolls--are NOT pastry, they're bread, yeast bread. ('I put the dough on to rise overnight and it is huge and puffy and waiting when I get there at 4:30'). And while Jodi's pic is a good *beginning* (thank you Jodi!) a Cinnamon Roll as Big as Your Head . . . well, it *is*. And it'll have a lot more spirals-round.
|
So do I need icing? And is it the colour in the picture? I'll decide where the legs go later ;P

There's only one place in the world where I've ever been served REAL Cinnamon Rolls that are literally as big as your head.
At the Enga Dinner in Engadine, Michigan. I'm not even sure it's still there, I haven't been by there in ... 15 years. Wow.
But they are at least 10" by 10", made from a real yeast dough, and so big that it takes two people to eat one. When you are finished your face hands and possibly shirt are sticky and you're stuffed!
Sunshine made me remember eating them as a kid. Of course I tried to make them that big a few times. (Anyone else out there who tried to make giant ones too?) But I just don't have a pan big enough to get them so high. (I don't roast any meat, being a veggie.)
Although after Sunshine I have learned to make killer soft - melt-in-your-mouth cinnamon rolls from lots of practice. My neighbors were very happy with all my practice and now complain that I don't practice enough!
O.k. time to stop babbling and get on with work.

From the images that come up, Cinnamon Rolls looks like near cousins to Chelsea Buns. Although I have to admit I've never seen a Chelsea Bun as big as a (human) head and would probably be overcome with sympathetic indigestion if I did!

Now this is plain mean--there I was, rereading Sunshine last night and having huge tummy rumbles at the thought of those Big ass Your Head things. I'd put them out of my mind by this morning, and here y'all are making me drool again. NO FAIR!
On another matter, does all this dress-up-at-the-signing talk mean I have to come with an attractive devil costume (never my strong point)or is that only for dogs and can I come 'au naturel'(this means clothed in my case. Definitely clothed). Travelling into London by train from the Midlands with horns on may get me arrested...but if that's how it has to be...
