From: Elora Lunasea In celebration of my 1500th Post, everyone is welcome to my house for homemade ice cream!!!
/me passes out bowls and spoons and puts out the chocolate and rainbow sprinkles, cherries, fresh whipped cream (none of that aersol stuff or even worse, frozen crap in my house), nuts and hot fudge for all on the table.
Ok what flavors? Chocolate? Vanilla? Strawberry? Peach? Buttermilk Lemon (a house speciality which sounds odd but is oh so yummy!)?
Make a nice line, no pushing! /me takes a bowl of the lemon one, piles it with a bit of everything and makes herself comfy.....I'm a slow ice cream eater...and messy lol.

From: Elora Lunasea Absolutely do Mac. It's really lovely and very realistic looking. Things I'd buy in RL. I will make a point to go over to the Mall next time I'm inworld  Thanks! There are a few items there and the rest are up on SLEX. She always liked making the jewlery and then she took in a class that lasted a few weeks that helped her sharpen her skills. Sometimes I just focus on her making stuff and am amazed. I couldn't torture a prim to save my life.

Maureen! So funny! I sent YOU to Chowhound and now you're sending me back there Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, Brooklyn is even further for me, although I'm from there originally. I've heard of a couple of those places, better known for their gelatos, not ices. But, next time I'm out in Brooklyn visiting MY side of the family (my husband's family are the ones in Staten Island) I think I'll write down those places in my Pearl and keep them handy just in case they are near where I am. You never know when you just MUST have an ice cream cone

From: Elora Lunasea Mac, I'm with you completely. I looked at that picture and was horrified. For one thing, the obviousness of the waste. Plus, the excess of it in all other ways. Plus, I don't even care for sweets all that much either. Truthfully, if a guy wanted to buy me the desert of MY dreams? It would be a platter of artisan cheese, with bits of honey comb, some crusty bread with fruit in it and a good glass of red zinfindel port This sounds like a perfect meal, not just a dessert! You said the magic word. A friend and I (am I too old to say "girlfriend"? It feels so high school) are both trying to learn the art of cheesemaking. So far, we have done more "research" than cheesemaking, but what we have made has turned out pretty good! Except for a few notable disasters, that is. It's a great hobby. If I ever make enough dough to quit my day job, I wouldn't mind a little sheep farm and cheesemaking operation somewhere. As for the 25,000 dessert - if I had plenty of money to burn, I would probably take my date to an ice cream shop, buy dessert, and then donate the remaining $24,993.00 to a worthwhile cause. Unfortunately, $25k is a LOT more money than I can afford to drop on anything right now.

From: ConductorX Nieuport Morning Threadies... Feeling a bit down today so I had to write it out...
It was a wonderful day. We sailed about the bay going to and fro just following where the wind would take us. Several times we were scared, coming close to capsize but always able to right ourselves in time. We laughed afterwards at our foolishness.
A private cove provided safety for lunch and swimming on the beach. On our blanket I looked deeply into your eyes and we whispered our words of love. Our passions grew and grew as our bodies tried to become one. We reveled in each other and gave each other pleasure repeatedly.
We returned to once again to real life only to find we cannot be together any more. So we part our ways to pursue other dreams and other passions. So I return to sail alone to rekindle the memories of good times in the past. The boat does not respond to my touch anymore not because it is unbalanced but because I am.
Should I give up sailing? Should I no longer seek the gentle breeze or hidden cove? No, I can’t not anymore than I can give up breathing. So on I go seeking the return my balance and find my center.
Have a good day everyone, I'll try to do better.
"CX" Gives CX *A GREAT BIG HUG* Sorry you are feeling sad.

Preface
06-05-2008 15:00
From: Gabriele Graves OK I have been working on a little poem about Trout and the ratings. So for your viewing pleasure (hopefully) here it is... Trout Out of the night with a loud throaty noise, Comes a man of taste who loves his toys, His steed is a bi-plane of pedigree true, That drops from the sky, out of the blue, "Who is this man?", I heard you inquire, "Why it's Trout, he's in his evening attire!", With a cheery wave and a flashing of smiles, All the girls know why he's travelled the miles, Their hearts leap and bound, hoping it's true, That it's to rate them, that he's come through, Each preens and poses, as much as they dare, And wait anxiously in line, under his stare, One licks her lips, He calls "A six, I think", Another lifts her skirts and gives him a wink, "She is definitely a seven" he turns to declare, Two more girls, "A five here and a four there!", He reaches the end and the last of the girls, Standing prettily, a full head of curls, Beautifully dressed, but nothing laid bare, Her twinkling eyes tell the answer right there, The room goes quiet, eyes expectantly on Trout, Knowing her rating will be low without doubt, He considers the twinkle and after a time, Then calls out,"Don't be fooled, she is surely a nine!" (Hope you like it Trout) VV Cute poem Gabriele! This Trout Certification thing is really a phenomenon. The consenus has been that it is really good fun, harmless fun! I never understood it myself. My thoughts on the matter have been in gestation for about nine months now, but I guess I should have aborted thinking about it at an earlier stage. But this Rating thing isn't quite all that it seems, not quite harmless. It has the power to damage relationships, break SL partnerships and destroy marriages. Not all by itself, but it is enough to tarnish, and make cracks appear that open into the widest gulf. When you find that your partner suddenly has a massive collection of expensive lingerie, has prioritised time into looking for it, selecting it, buying it and having photos taken to help her get rated as a SLut, it creates a seed. When the photos are taken in a studio that is on a sim owned by a RL friend of 15 years, and that is how you find out about it, the seed is planted. When you have to look to the Forum to find out what your partner is saying about "a friend", the seed is nourished and watered. A story is told there, and SL can allow for only one side to be heard. The story has grains of truth, but also spin and misinterpretation and critical ommissions, and then a few white lies can creep in. Even the teller begins to believe them. But there are two sides to every story, and one has never been told. Are we sitting comfortably? Good. Then we shall begin.... It all started one day when I found myself in a watering hole just off Drifter's Passage... a semi-naked girl was laying prone on a barrel... Now if that sounds oddly familiar... I guess it is because things go in cycles... and when you reach that point, whatever happened will happen again, and again, and again... |

It looks like it's going to be a Hot One in New York this wekend, 90's and sunny. I'll be spending Saturday at home waiting for some new furniture to be delivered with the AC cranked and a bucketful of Corona's. Sunday , I'm taking my niece and nephew to Coney Island, so my Brother and Sister in law can go to a wedding.

Unfortunately, $25k is a LOT more money than I can afford to drop on anything right now. OMG Trout. This is a dream of mine. No joke. I'm dying to learn how to make cheese. I've been wanting to find some vacation where I can do this. When we went to California last year, I looked into it but we didn't have enough time for it. I wanted to go up to Cowgirl Creamery just to even look around, but never made it there. I'm a complete cheese freak. I go to cheese stores and get lost in thought staring at everything, looking for things I haven't tried yet. And for me - it's goats more than sheep, although I like them too. Just my preference I remember watching a program a while ago about this cheesemonger in France, that has this special kind. You know what makes it so special? There are a small kind of BUG (LICE???) in it that crawl around and create small holes in the cheese! The bugs live in the cheese and you eat the cheese with the bugs in it. Well, this was just amazing and disgusting to me. I'm compelled to find this one day (they do NOT export it). I have tentative plans to go to Italy next year. I am trying to figure out if getting to Parma is at al possible. Somehow, I don't think it is due to the type of trip we're tying to take (Southern concentration, not Northern). Oh Cheese!

From: ConductorX Nieuport Just for you Brann.. just call me the Evinrude in the Cesspool of Life:
NICKNAMES
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.
EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller
and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
MONEY
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.
BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel. The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.
ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument.Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
SUCCESS
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.
DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the bins, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.
NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes.There's no use in two people remembering the same thing. This made me laugh too - though I cannot possibly comment on it's validity << >>

I have not been there since I'm like, ummm, maybe 13 or so. I wonder if it's still as much fun as I remember. I know they were planning a lot of new condos there - my company was considering bidding on building them, but decided against it. Strange to think of condos towering over that place....

From: Maureen Boccaccio um...is there any mint chocolate chip? Easily done! But may take a bit longer... /me picks the mint from my herb garden, simmers it with the cream and sugar, chops up the chocolate and adds it to the mixture. Cools this down quickly in the freezer (we're pressed for time here) - adds this to the ice cream maker and while it mixes chops up big chunks of your favorite type of chocolate bar and throws that into the mixture Voila! Mint Chocolate Chip just for you!

Oh it's great. I go once or twice a year. They've really cleaned it up. There is talk of it maybe going away, Astroland has been sold, but no word on whether the new owners want to redevelop.
