POG PUB 2025-2026: About damn time. For a lot of things. But not everything.
Happy New Year, everyone.
I'll let you all mentally fill in the categories in the title.
In a previous life when I baked, I liked to substitute cooked butternut squash for the banana in any banana bread recipe. Always a huge hit.
Next time you "give up on life" try this recipe. It's the best. I have some old bananas in the freezer too. I think I'll give up on life today!
It sounds very good, but I'm really trying to get off of dairy as much as possible, so I haven't been buying sour cream lately. Plus I'd definitely need to hike to get to my stand mixer--there's no room for it in my current kitchen. I beat my stuff by hand, at the moment--which is very sad since I adore my KitchenAid.
Officially given up on life!
Talking about baking... I am currently here.
Damn, I'm hungry and Mark posts that bread!!! I'm drooling.
that bread looks great!
They have both white and off-white.
Public Library sounds like a socialist enclave, I hope Mark is all right.
The dude was there to sell books. Very much capitalism in action!
And there was a token black couple right up front. And that also doesn't include all the hispanic nannies. :p
Who was that? He looks familiar. Did you get to eat whatever he was making?
You might recognize him from his shirt.
It's Duff Goldman from Food Network.
The guy on the shirt is children's poet Shel Silverstein
That is crazy!
I like puzzles
Me too!
However a couple years ago, I got a 1000 piece puzzle old Nasa astronaut on the moon. It's all various shades of black, grey and white. Hardest jigsaw puzzle I ever tackled. It's currently 1/3 complete and on a giant piece of cardboard in my attic. That thing is impossible.
Also to work on it, you need a really bright light (Sun works great) to tell the various gradients of dark grey.
last weekend about a dozen of us drove out into the woods to stay at a work friend's place in the woods
place was originally intended as weekend home but colleagues in law lived their solo now - he wasn't there that weekend
one of the people there saw a puzzle that was 2/3 of the way complete and decided to complete it - nobody said anything and i wasn't sure if they were ok with it or because it was a work colleague and they are west coast people who avoid confrontation at all costs
i thought that was a horrific thing to do someone, especially a retired old man
that person is a monster
Never saw the point in a jigsaw puzzle.
Yes, if someone cut a picture into a thousand pieces and threw them in a dumpster, you could, with persistence and patience, piece the picture back together.
That's not much of a puzzle. To me a puzzle is like, you got a wolf, a duck, and a cat and you gotta get them across a river in a canoe.
No offense, but I never found someone pretending not to be a werewolf to be a very good puzzle either.
Amp kiosk account is the same person!
the rare puzzle discussion on the puzzles forum!
I don't really like puzzles of any kind. they hurt my brain, or they're just uninteresting to me. BUT I feel for the man who worked on this puzzle, and let guests into his home, and then comes back and finds his puzzle finished.
The kind of puzzles I mostly deal with are like why, after the DBAs upgraded the Koha database, does the dot Net application throw an error about casting a type to NULL?
They pay you for those.
A filthy capitalist at heart!
