Off-Topic / Make dinner rolls with 2 ingredients

« on: August 18, 2012, 04:52:23 am »Message ID: 589744

I tried this years ago and they were delicious.  All you do is mix equal parts of self-rising flour and vanilla ice cream.  It will be very, very hard to stir because the ice cream is frozen but, of course, needs to be mixed thoroughly.  I don't remember the baking temperature but you could use your own judgment; probably the same for similar items.  So easy and super good!

Off-Topic / New Year's Day food traditions

« on: January 01, 2012, 12:34:18 pm »Message ID: 468453

In the south we eat black-eyed peas, pork, collard greens (for money luck) and cornbread. Do other areas of the country have similar traditions?

Off-Topic / Hiccough cures

« on: September 07, 2011, 05:56:37 pm »Message ID: 413896

I've used this cure for about 40 years, and it always works.  I eat a spoonful of granulated sugar and don't inhale through my mouth for a few minutes. If for some reason the first spoonful doesn't work, I get a second one, but that rarely happens. Works like a charm. There is an agent in the sugar that affects the hiccough reflex.

Off-Topic / Coffee drinkers - How do you like your coffee?

Black, black or black for me.  I can't stand anything put into it.  I probably got that from my mother!

I have to work on Labor Day. I live in Florida so we will have rain and rough surf from the tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico. What is everyone else doing?

Off-Topic / Getting rid of acrylic nails

« on: July 08, 2011, 07:47:31 am »Message ID: 381693

After more than 20 years of these things ruining my nails, I am done with them for good.  The only reason I started wearing them was because of a split in one fingernail.  I have gone for periods of time without them before but never really treated them.  I read reviews of nail treatments and the best seemed to be Barielle cream, which was originally created for horse hooves.  I ordered it off eBay, and after a couple of weeks of using it every night, my nails are actually beginning to look normal again, although I have a way to go. That's my good news for the day!

Off-Topic / Holiday mishaps

« on: October 24, 2010, 11:52:17 am »Message ID: 258746

I bought a new bicycle for my 10-year-old son and hid it in a paid storage building. Christmas eve night, I remembered that they had locked the gates at sundown and we couldn't get it. I just can't go into detail about how we handled that. It's too embarrassing here.

Off-Topic / What would you do if you won the lottery?

« on: October 24, 2010, 11:46:51 am »Message ID: 258740

I would have surgery that I've been putting off and couldn't afford, then I would travel around the world. I would also do my best to shut down every puppy mill and create a well-staffed place where any domestic animal could have a happy home.  And pay off bills and help my family, of course!

It's 80 and a little cloudy in northwest Florida.  We are supposed to have rain quite a bit next week.  Hope it doesn't turn cold after that.  I'm a wuss.
