Re: Roll call: Who's here today?

  • I'll be here for about 2  more hours then I'm heading to Iowa and on vacation until the 4th!
  • I'm here til noon, but I do actually have to work. :( But I'll pop in as usual.
    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • I am here, but not for long. I have to go to work for two hours to take a virtual class about what kind of benefits they offer. Yay.

  • What delicious treats are you taking with you to Iowa? I keep thinking about making the oreo truffles, but the whole melting chocolate part is scaring me off.

    Disappointing, Leigha!! Work is way overrated. (btw, no response from AH)

    I'm taking Buckeyes and Peanut Brittle to Iowa, I sent Brown Sugar Chocolate Fudge and Cookies-n-Cream Fudge to the ILs Christmas party. 

    The melting chocolate is actually really easy -- you can even do it in the microwave, use the defrost setting (more room for error) and stir every 15-30 seconds.  The key is to take it out just before its completely melted and stir until its smooth.

    I never knew about the defrost setting. I will be trying this next time I do cookie dough truffles!

  • kaley. hold up - what are cookie dough truffles? My H would definitely be down for anything cookie dough related.

    hawki - my stupid defrost setting is broken... or something. Can I still do it on high heat?

    I made them for Christmas last year and have had to bring them to every family gathering since.

    Can you adjust the power level? Most microwaves let you adjust the power level. Maybe set it at 50%.

    You can, just watch it very closely, stop and stir every 15 seconds or so. 

  • Kaley - thanks. I think DH would love these.

    hawki - I'll hover. :) 

    leigha - that setting doesn't seem to work either. It's a super cheap microwave.

  • I'm at work til 5 since I have a presentation at 3:30 that should run at least til then... Then I get to go shopping afterwork because my H didn't pick up his parents presents yesterday. Nothing like waiting til the last minute. Indifferent
    I'm friends with everybody in this office. We're all best friends - I love everybody here. But sometimes your best friends start coming into work late, and start having dentist appointments that aren't dentist appointments. And that's when it is nice to let them know that you can beat them up.
  • I'm here... nesting from home!  I've been off all week, which is glorious.  Drinking coffee, watching the Proposal and playing WOW today.  Gotta love vacation days with nothing to do!

  • I'm here until 12.

    Fail of the day. Everyone brought in presents for each other. I'm new. I didn't. Therefore, only person to not give out presents. Couldn't someone have told me?!?!?!?
