So, la la la.
The guy who pointed out "a watched pot never boils" should have tried to hurry up a yeasted dough on a cold day. THAT is slow.

Try cranking up the heat and placing the dough above a vent. Or if you've just run the dishwasher and it's still all warm and clean inside, you can stick it in there till it rises...
Kittens are warm. Mine is being obligingly cuddley right now.

Mine scratched open my chin this morning when I was still sleepy and he was hungry and apparently my hair looked tasty. Unfortunately he's too cute to stay mad at for a long time (this is going to be hard on my parents) and he made it up by watching TV with me and sleeping curled up against my belly.

No heat (it's not even Thanksgiving, yet!) and don't own a dishwasher. Here, when it's cold you sit near a south facing window. The dough will rise eventually. It's just not entertaining to watch.

Ouch. Yeah, my hands are constantly a bit scratched up because my kitten insists on nibbling them. She grabs with her front paws, bites, but not hard enough to break the skin, and then licks and goes to sleep. She's a strange kitty...
Today she saw I had my laptop open and she likes to burrow under those to sleep. Sometimes if she can burrow she forgets to bite. Quote:

But cold, right now. Yesterday was warm enough for the bees to be out, and the high later this week is supposed to be in the 30's. I'm tired of everyone being sick, too, but I've chosen to blame mold.

She blames that too. Mom blames quite a lot of things for sickness. It's sort of an on-going crusade against cold, damp and mold/germs. Cold just happens to be the easiest to get rid of.

I miss baking. I suppose I'll get my fill of it in about a week and half though... gotta figure out how many pies I'll need to make for Thanksgiving. 2 dozen people, so I'm thinking 6-8...

I love cooking, but unfortunatly, I don't have much time for it nowadays, because I have so much college work to do at the minute, plus I have exams coming up soon.
(In case any American's are confused, I think my use of college is what you would call 'high school'. Am I right? |

I like the big noisy ones best. When I was little we had everyone over and then people started breaking into smaller groups so that the last few years we've had fairly small gatherings. But this year we'll have all four generations for the first time, so it'll be nice to finally not be among the youngest anymore.

Well, your post indicated that you weren't sure what the hell I was talking about, so you posted information that you believed to be relevent, and it turned out that it was.
That's how it was inadvertant. Quote:

I'm just playin'.
I apologise if I was mean. That WOULD be inadvertent. Actually, I was thinking of a couple of lines from Shakespeare. Don Pedro I think this is your daughter. Leonato Her mother hath many times told me so. Benedick Were you in doubt, sir, that you asked her? Leonato Signior Benedick, no; for then you were a child. So you said, 'you have to live that long" and I responded, "since I'm not responsible for you, I'll be fine."
