    LEBKUCHEN!  My grandma helped me make it once, and it was so fantastically awesome.  I haven't been able to make it as good.  Boo.  Gosh I love Lebkuchen.

    Fact: Nobody makes it as good as a grandma.

    It tastes like Christmas to me.  If i had to pick just one taste that is the embodiment of the holidays.. that'd be it.

    I was thinking I have to do lefse since I did it last week and may.. just a tiny bit... have eaten most of it already.

     

    Fact:  Bears eat beets.

     

    And Lefse.

    I'm a blog!

    You guys are saying lots of L words ive never heard of before...

    Ditto.

  • Aww, Reddy, I love Moulin Rouge. But I'm a crazy musical lover.
  • God I'm lazy.  Or I hate the post office.  Or both.  I just ordered stamps online so I don't have to wait in line.  They keep shutting down post offices here so there is ALWAYS always a line.  Eff that.  Plus, it's pouring down rain.  Could be worse, I guess.  It could be freezing rain/ice.  Yuck.

    Bears.  Beets. Battlestar Gallactica.

  • If I could pick one taste for the holidays it would be homemade Chex mix, my grandma used to make all the different kinds, I would always pig out on the "mud puppies" aka the chocolate and powdered sugar ones... drool.

    And of course, cheese balls because my bro and I would share one entirely to ourselves as kids... drooling again.

  • For some weird reason we dont have post offices (as I used to know them) here where I live. Its little depots inside other businesses instead. Theres one in a card/gift shop, one in a drug store, and those are the only two I really know about without looking up locations. Its really weird and annoying.

    As a kid, I was strangely obsessed with Broadway musicals, so I like the classics, but modern ones make me stabby with their autotune and trippy colors (Sweeny Todd? Ugh).

     I hated Sweeny Todd. You know what version of one of their songs I like best? The 'Pies' song they did in Jersey Girl. Yep. That movie with Ben Affleck.

  • OH!  Chex Mix.  Man, my grandma used to make the best - the traditional salty kind.  SO GOOD.  She gave me her recipe before she passed but I have never ever been able to replicate it.  It makes me sad.  My mom tries to make it, too.  But, no.  I've never had it as good as my grandma made.

  • My family makes something they call nuts & bolts, my grandma made it and now my mom makes it. Its TERRIBLE for you but so effing delicious. You take a box of cheerios, about 1/3 of a box of shreddies, a bag of stick pretzels (snapped in half), peanuts (like 1 bag?) and mix it together with 2 sticks of melted butter, 5-6 crushed cloves of garlic and 5-6 grated celery sticks (with the juice). You mix it all up and bake it in the oven for an hour and its SO divine. Its good before you bake it (its sorta soggy and delicious) and its so good when its just hot out of the oven. Im hell bent on talking her out of making it this year because I always eat way too much of it.

  • I'm pretty sure we've talked about this before, but was anyone into theater as kid? Were you not into theater and forced to do it anyway? What parts did you play?

    I was totally that kid who tried out their hardest, and got extra #500 a few times in city wide plays.

    Then I went to a charter school for the arts that required theater, including a required Shakespeare class and quarterly play. Ugh.

    Oregon kids also are (were?) required to do a Lewis and Clark play in 5th grade, in which I was "Square dancer #3" and wore a raccoon hat. Every single girl wanted that damn Sacagawea part... because it was the only girl part.

  • I love bullshit man. That is all.

     

    And with that, I'm out for the day!  Have a great one y'all!

  • Hi. I hope this posts right, I don't know what I'm doing and am curious what sig will pop up.

    I'm sitting here struggling to figure out how to grade my class. I have to use special rubrics, translate points into percentages, and percentages into grades. I'm so lost. I'm so lost, I turned the TV off to concentrate, and I never do that. Christmas music is on instead.

    Reddy, I hate Moulin Rouge. I dont understand the hype at all.

  • So are "shreddies" shredded wheat cereal or crackers, or something else?

    This is super interesting to me.  Like Canadian Chex mix without the worcester. Omg, okay I can't spell that last word, even with the help of Google bar, blah, I hate you TN red dotted spell check.

    EDIT: WORSCHESTIRE. I think.

  • I was in Pocahontas in 5th grade. I was a medicine woman. I didn't want to be Pocahontas because I was too shy for that, but I was pissed by who they chose. *** wore a long BLONDE wig because "I look prettier as a blonde!"

    ETA - Apparently TN edits "biitch"

  • Are you all still hanging out here?  

     

    TK fuuucking sucks.  Seriously.  I wonder if they're doing something super special before all the crazy holiday engagement newbs pop up.  

     

    Also, I really love homemade Chex mix.  I should make some of that for Christmas too. Good excuse to give it away to everyone;)  I bet I could make it GF pretty easily, too! 

  • These are shreddies - do you not get these there?

    I always say wor-chester-shire sauce, just so that I remember. I love the stuff.

  • You would have been a good medicine woman or Pocahontas. The blonde thing is just weird. Our Sacagawea was the opposite, they chose a really shy girl because she had long black hair and dark skin, royally pissed off all the girls who did a good job, it was bad.

    I tried out for Annie and got no speaking part, I was so crushed as a child, I wanted Annie because I had red hair! Haha, perfect logic!

  • Reddy, I did off-broadway shows in San Francisco as a kid/HS.

     I was in Annie (Grace Farrell) Sound of Music (Maria), How To Succeed (Mr. Bratt - We changed the role to a female), Bye Bye Birdie (cast), and a ton of others (not all musicals).

    I did a Funny Thing That Happened in community theatre my Junior year.

  • Hehe, that's Chex Mix silly, that's so funny I've only ever called them "Chex".

    Silly Nebbula. Those are Chex cereal.  i.e. Chex Mix. 

  • Those are NOT chex! Chex are a completely different colour!

    I was into theater majorly from about 7th grade on.  My favorite roles were Golde in Fiddler and Dolly in Hello Dolly but I did mostly bit parts other than that because I was the stage manager for most productions.  Flower peddler in Oliver,  prisioner in Man of La Mancha, Random kid (with solo) in The Me Nobody Knows, Fantine in Les Mis, random woman in Sweeney Todd, and so on.

  • Chex comes in three different 'colors', rice, wheat, and corn, and in Chex Mix you usually have all three.

    Have you guys ever had Quaker squares cereal? Those are sweet (and oh so good), but I wonder if those without the sweetner is what a "shreddie" tastes like.

    Or ya know. It's just a wheat Chex. ;)
