Morning, Loco Ochos!

Buenos Dias JFri & Locos.

Buenos Dias JFri & Locos.

Good morning all! And good morning again Cleo lol. Nothing like finishing up a Thanksgiving weekend with a bought of the stomach flu. It is going through my family, and no doubt will hit me before this weekend is over. But for now, mass, and then the drive back to Ann Arbor.

Hola johnnyd. Hopefully you will escape unscathed. Have a safe drive back.

Impresionante paneles segundo, tercero y cuarto!

(Awesome second, third and fourth panels!)

Hola JFri, johnny and cleo!

johnny call us when you get there! :-)

Hola Dry, how is your Sunday playing out?

It’s a lovely day here with bright sunshine. There’s a good football game on at 1. (Hopefully it will be good.) Just sort of taking it easy. Don’t feel like getting out the Christmas decorations, though I see some of my neighbors have.

Volando por el aire con mayor facilidad. (A diferencia de Dusty pobres en BT!)

Flying through the air with the greatest of ease. (Unlike poor Dusty at BT!)

Hola amigos!

Hola Shika, how are you today? I just got back from a bike ride, the air is crisp and clean and the lake is like glass.

Sounds like a lovely day cleo. It’s nice here too.

I’m going to bake some pumpkin muffins. this time I have all the ingredients.

BBML

You aren’t getting past the gate Shika, unless you’re carrying some of those pumpkin mufflins with you! :-D

Yes pumpkin muffins all around.

Hi there, cleo! I’ll bring the apple cider!

Hello my dear Dry. And I will bring the Booker’s.

Sounds good to me. I suppose JFri will arrive empty handed. Maybe johnny can join us. Hope he brings some leftovers that his mom made and sent back with him.

Believe me Dry, turkey leftovers are the last thing that I need.

cleo What’s left of mine, and it ain’t much, is going to be frozen and used with the broth I froze, to make turkey noodle soup for one of these dark cold winter nights that will approach sooner than I want.

And where is our Shika with those pumpkin muffins? The cider is getting warm, where’s the ice bucket anyway? I can’t find it with all these bottles of Bookers lying around here!

I save all my bones for stock. I save all bones period, lamb, fish, chicken, turkey, etc.

cleo I made the stock from the meat and bones on the breast. Soup is good in the winter. Oh there’s that word! Nasty word!

Oh dear. I forgot to tell you that I was going out after making my muffins. Would you like some now? They aren’t still warm, but they are delicious.

May I have some cider now, dear Dry?

I also save turkey bones, or what ever I have for stock. My freezer looks pretty grisly with all the bones in it!

Shika, I will have a muffin. It will make a nice post dinner repast.

Shika-moo says:

My freezer looks pretty grisly with all the bones in it!

(Probably the bones of old parishioners.)

Here’s your muffin cleo Let me know if you want anything else.

We Anglicans aren’t called “The Frozen Chosen” for nothing! :-D

Shika with all your frozen bones maybe you can be braising the dead. nyuk, nyuk!!

Could I borrow your brimstone? I need to turn up the heat!

Hello??

Where’s my muffin? I’m hungry!

Here’s your muffin Dry! Tell me if you like it!

Here is your cider Shika!

My that muffin is delicious! May I have another?

Help yourself Dry! Here they are. Thanks for the cider. It sure goes well with these muffins.

Yes, pumpkin pastries, pies, etc go well with fresh apple cider!

Shika ever heard of Whoopie Pies? They orignated with the PA Dutch.

Never heard of them. I just read about filling though, from Reading, PA.

What’s a Whoppie Pie? Any relation to the whoopee cushion? :-D

Aren’t you Italian?

Dry I’m getting ready for bed, but I’ll be back to say good night. I get sleepy early, remember?

Shika yes I am indeed! At least 50 percent of me, and since I was raised that way, I’ll say 75 percent. My dad was a mix of German, Scotch and maybe some Irish. But I know about Whoopie Pies. They’re a cake, round in shape about 3-5 inch diameter, used to be just chocolate. Now they make pumpkin, vanilla, peanut butter, and they are filled with icing, again, many different flavors. You would like them, of that, I am sure. And another goodie from the PA Dutch is SHOO FLY PIE! That is the bestest, bestest pie! If you like molasses.

I’ve heard of Shoo Fly Pie, although I thought that was from the south. It is very sweet, isn’t it? Hence, the flies, I guess.

And the pies sound delicious.

I love molasses BTW.

I’m a mixture of English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh. But I say I’m Canadian, because that’s what I am!

I miss visiting Canada every year. I love Ontario!

You would like Shoo Fly Pie. And if memory serves correctly, the name came from the Amish women making the pies and setting them on the windowsills to cool, always saying “Shoo flies” as they were cooling.

I think you are thinking of Montgomery Pie. Similar in ingredients, and that did originate in the south of the US.

Perhaps Dry. Although I have never heard of Montgomery Pie. Perhaps someone from up here got the names mixed up.

Anyways, I’m off to bed now. Have a good night, and

Isle sea ewe when eye c u!

Shika! LOL! How long did it take u to come up with that? That’s funny!

As far as getting the pie names mixed up, since we’re south of you, to your friend, the origin of Shoo Fly Pie, is SOUTH!!! :-)

June. Not long. I’m an English student. words/puns are my staple diet.

How about pecan pie? That’s southern, isn’t it?

And yes, PA is south…so is Lake Ontario….lol

Next time you come up, let me know.

Aisle C u wen I sea ewe.

Or, I’ll sea ewe wen I.C.U.?

Oh, and again:

GOOD NIGHT!!

SHIKA PULLED A SHIKA!

Yes Pecan Pie is Southern, Deep South southern. And don’t you worry, next time I get up there, you’ll be the FIRST to know!

P.S. SHOWOFF!!!! ;-D

Have a good sleep! Think I’m headed there too.
