No wait - hold the Ginko - I might remember something I'd rather forget! Eh?

Just ran round after reading the wonderful news in General - candle still lit - hope beaming out.

Lynne

My sordid past always seems to catch up, then pass me...

I think we'll slip Slick a 7/7;)

MOFF,

Lynne,

It's my recipe that I donated for today's parteee. Here it is.

In a big bowl, whiz up all the following ingredients until it gets nice and foamy. Then taste, then bottle. Does not have to age. Can be consumed right away.

1 mickey Rye
1 large (1 litre) whipping cream
1 small (1 pint) 1/2 & 1/2 or creamo
2 eggs
4 tblsp. chocolate syrup
1 1/2 tsp. coconut extract
2 tblsp. instant coffee
1 can Borden's sweetened condensed milk

This recipe may be doubled or tripled depending on the size of the bowl and the amount of consumption.......And of course, the amount of Rye may vary depending on taste......I always put a little extra in........

Makes three 26-oz bottles. Because it's made with dairy products, it only lasts about 3 weeks in the fridge. Unfortunately, it will have to be used up in that time........

I love Baileys! If you need to get rid of some of that big batch there, Slick, pass some my way! :D

Oh Slick, I LOVE sweetened condensed milk! When I was at home and cooking something with it as an ingredient, I'd buy two cans so mum and I could dip the spoon into one and eat most of it! :)

Hmmm, sugar ... :) I think I'll just start with a champagne today, it's a little early for sickly dairy products!!!

I'm so glad Kayla is back :)

I make at least 10 batches every Christmas to give away for gifts. Total cost amounts to about $6.00/CDN per bottle. Funny though, I hate the stuff. Way to sweet for my taste.

Debbie: I'll gladly bring some down if I'm ever in the neighbourhood.

So glad to hear Kayla was found. Kids what do we do with them. I'll have a white wine, as I am celebrating. My 22 year old is getting married so we are planning a July 3 wedding. By June I'll be wanting something harder.

MM,

Champange!

Ah Slick,

Kinda like my plan for world domination!!!

Corrina,

White wine.....

Done!

You make this sound like its a bad thing.

Just wanted to share - I was updating a document here at work. Apparently I had made a comment in it a few weeks back where I used the words "ARRGGHH MATIE" - gee, I wonder what week that was;) :cool:

Mmmmm...reminds me of the toast I had for supper. Pumpernickel bread, toasted with butter, peanut butter and raspberry jam on it. Yummy! :D

I just love toasted pumpernickle, especially the real chewy, homemade style! yum. Look at all this candle wax on the window sill :eek: Oh well, the candles seemed to help us all over a rough week so who's complaining.. not I. Especially since I just found some leftover Baileys * hehehe * See, sometimes being the early bird does have it's benefits :D
I've done wheelies in a cart before, does that count?

Cool! :cool: Sounds like fun!

I once had a boyfriend that did an unexpected wheelie on his motorcycle....with me on the back! :eek: :eek: That could have almost counted since I almost had to be carted off in an ambulance! :eek: :rolleyes:

:D

Aren't men wonderful????

Until they try to kill the girlfriends doing wheelies......

I'm having a bloody mary this morning...

why the heck not! Its been a stressful week. My company is beginning its first ever "downsizing" mode. So far I'm not on the chopping block but I know that the morale around here is going to get ugly in the next couple of weeks.

I suppose I shouldn't be drinking on the job but hey, it's Friday, and you can never smell a cyber drink on ones breath.:)

Done!!!

Don't you love the wordage, downsizing???

We use "reduction in force"?

I guess being 'smaller' is better that being fired.:confused: :rolleyes:

It's a lovely fall day here. Can I have an apple cider with a cinnamon stick? Richard, did you see where I posted how many Thursdays until July for you? Now that you know, does it really matter?:D

Hey you guys...I just finished cleaning up all the peanut shells and wiping down the bar. Try to keep it clean please???

And yes, I'll join you......if you can't beat 'em, join 'em :D :D

Catland: we call it "restructuring". Why can't they just come out and say "you're fired".

Call a spade a spade, why don't you.
10-17-2003, 12:21 PM

the only good news is that we're a smaller company and the owner thinks I'm just wonderful.

I know our business has dropped off. When he told me that I might have to take on some additional responsiblities I gave that good old "team-player" response of "ok-what ever it takes, I'm there for you". (Besides, the dirty little secret is that I was able to automate a lot of my job from the person who had it before so I do have time available)

Yesterday someone didn't have that team player mentality when she was told that she was going to have to spend some of her time in another department. Guess which one of us is still here.:eek:

When I was a consultant for the feds I got "riffed" more ways than one [R reduction I in F orce] But I felt I was getting riffed every day I went to work. Now I'm at a non-profit Association and although the money part ain't so great at least I don't feel like a .. er, um lets just say person that gets riffed for money. ahem :o That being said, the bosses aren't here today so set 'em up and let's belly up to the bar
True story, when my m-in-law first met her husband she was with another guy that was just a buddy. She took one look at Ellis and did a cartwheel across the room. I guess she wanted him to notice her or something. Well he did. They were married for over 50 years before he - then she - passed away.

Last March my good friend and co-worker got the pink slip. It wasn't a case of downsizing but they told her "we don't see a future for you here". All because the boss didn't like her. Jerk!!

Laurie: I work for non-profit as well and I know what you mean about the money.

Ok, here we go with my cartwheel.....

OUCH, where'd that barstool come from??

I was downsized from my job at the insurance company after 20 years. Turned out to be one of the happiest days of my life.:D

Kids, don't try this at home unless you have adult SuPeRvIsIoN...

I always knew I was 51 going on 35 but 51 going on 10??? I think not. Won't try that again. Got a big welt on my head....:eek: :eek:

Any chance of getting some pain relief over here in the form of a beverage??

I've never been riffed, but I've been called riff-raff :D :D
10-17-2003, 06:04 PM
Miss Meow

I haven't heard RIF before. My prior employer used to say 'we're going great, you'll get your bonuses this month' then on the Monday would have the 'outplacement (what a nice word) consultant' waiting in the office to start the chopping :rolleyes:

I also like 're-aligning our values', 'making ourselves more competitive' oh, there are so many!

It's Saturday morning Richard, may I have a Red Bull and vodka to start the day? Tomato juice is too much for me! :)

Slick,

you got it!!!

how's about a beer??? and some ice???

MM,

When you suspect that the outplacement clerk shows up, bring your own axe and challenge their authority.....;)

The thing I hate is our companies 'mission statement', I'm on a mission???????

RB and Vodka????

Oh just what we need, wired and tipsy:eek:

Promise me this, no cartwheels.

Done!

Thanks Richard, much better. That reminds me, years ago I dated a guy who always put ice in his beer. Thank God that didn't last long.

I've been following the "War in Iraq" thread. Maybe you need one too??;) Please, let me pour. I've ordered a pizza and should arrive shortly.

BTW I'm on holidays next week, but have to come in for a meeting next Thursday from 10 to 1. Do you think you could drum up some of those extra large beefy bean burritos??:eek:
10-17-2003, 06:21 PM
catland

PIZZA?

I was getting ready to run off my weekly reports and then get the heck out of here but I'll stick around if there's some pizza.:)

btw - Slick - do you have nice weather up there today? We've got a nice one here and I know that you and I sometimes share weather fronts from off of the ocean.
10-17-2003, 06:27 PM
RICHARD

I have an hour to kill.....

pizza and beer.....

oh, i know i sound boorish about the war in Iraq.

It is nothing personal and I enjoy the interaction.....as a matter of fact I don't get mad...it makes me tell more jokes....

It is a serious subject, sometimes you have to keep a sense of humor and common sense about things....:confused:

It's been p**** rain for 3 days, I'm talking pelting down. Windy too. The forecast is for more rain for a few more days. God knows we can use it after this dreadful summer, but it makes my 1/2 hr drive to and from work into an hour. Reminds me, better go easy on the beer. Don't want to have to "go" in the middle of driving home. I had a friend once who used to say that he only "rented" beer.!!:D

Lots of pizza to share around. Call me stupid, but I think beer and pizza go together just like mustard and Eddie:D :D
