From: Elora Lunasea First, lovely breakfast and I want that egg holder. I've been searching high and low for ones which suit me - I don't want just a plain looking cup and that one is just lovely. Wish I knew what kind of china it was. Anyhoo, it went off well, although the sun set a bit late so anticipation was high. He got rave reviews for his creation and everyone thinks he's selling it for way too low a price considering what it does and the work he put into it. But, he believes that this is SL, not RL and things should be reasonable, not outlandishly priced. The most amusing thing was after most people left, 3 griefers showed up  Lexxi was still there with a friend of her (cute tiny kitty in an alligator costume, AnnLee I think? No, something similar). He/she had just arrived and these griefer showed up a few moments later. Screaming and shrieking, mumbling some obsenities and the female one stood there clapping. The usual adolescent stuff. However, Ghosty was trying to ban and eject them and his pie menu was greyed out for some reason. I, crashed just as this was happening so I was of no use helping get rid of them. When I got back, they had gone. I checked MY pie menu and I also had these items greyed out. WTF? A few moments later, they appeared. Is there some issue with this we are not aware of? It really sucked that he couldn't get rid of them quickly although he did enjoy toying with them verbally for a while  And of course, thanks to all who showed up! Glad it went well, and lol/grrrr on the griefers. I've noticed, in the past few days, there have been some delays on some permissions and scripts and such. I wonder it that was what Ghosty was experiencing. And re: the egg cup/plate: lol...of course I had to start doing a search...many showed up on ebay! |

From: Joshooah Lovenkraft Since you guys always talk about breakfast in this thread, I made blueberry pancakes this morning and they were yummy so I'll share! Here's the basic recipe I always use. Just say NO to boxed mixes!
Joshooah's Blueberry Pancakes
Ingredients
* 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tbsp baking powder
* 1 pinch of salt
* 1 tbsp sugar
* 2 large eggs, beaten
* 2 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
* 1 ⅓ cups milk
* butter for frying
* blueberries
Mix all your dry ingredients well. Mix up all your wet ingredients. Pour your wet into your dry and mix until incorporated but don't worry too much about small lumps as I like let my batter sit for a few minutes since over mixing can make for tough pancakes. Log into Second Life and catch up with IMs while the batter is sitting. After 15 minutes, set avatar on busy and give the batter a few stirs before you start frying them on a medium pan with melted butter. I like to add my blueberries after the batter has gone into the pan rather than adding it to the actual batter. You can dot them nicely and make happy faces and stuff. Give them a flip as the edges harden and you can see small bubbles in the middle. I prefer to make little pancakes rather than huge ones and it will make enough to probably feed four. The nice thing is these will freeze well and you can just pop them into your toaster oven on a busy weekday morning. Serve with butter and warmed up maple syrup (hates cold syrup on pancakes) and extra blueberries or fruit. Enjoy while reading the forums and tping around SL. Warning: do not get syrup on your keyboard or mouse. oooh....thank you for this one, Joshooah! Blueberries AND pancakes...mmmmm.  |

From: Brenda Connolly He he..maybe I should have started a blog. The shows producer was saying that they tried really hard to get some of the new movie's cast to appear, but none were available although definitely interested. Also, they were really trying to get both Patrick Stewart and Whoopi, but again, both weren't available. Whoopi doesn't fly, so getting her to appear would be a major coup since it is local for her, and Stewart is doing Shakespeare right now in England. He was definitely keen on the idea to appear with Whoopi. I've already planned on going to next year's convention in Vegas, 4 days, 70 guests. I also talked t some of the volunteers, and might volunteer to help out on next year's show here. *smiles* Nifty! Two more events/expeditions for you to look forward to in the coming year. |

From: Amaranthim Talon oh! Nice Joshooa - thanks! Today I made egg-salad sandwiches for breakfast- It's Sunday- anything goes! Four hard- but not solid hard- eggs; a table spoon of mayo, sweet basil, and a sprinkling of truffle oil. Spread on lightly toasted bread and munch! We keep on hand tubes of various herbs- better than dry and fresh always ends u going bad so ths is very nice alternative. These are the ones we use and I really swear by them - http://www.gourmetgarden.com/us/I love those tubes of herbs!! I first used them in Florence...wow...years ago...long before I ever saw them in the U.S. |

From: Maureen Boccaccio I love those tubes of herbs!! I first used them in Florence...wow...years ago...long before I ever saw them in the U.S. I do not remember ever seeing these tubes before, but I printed a picture from the website and attached it to my grocery list. I also bookmarked the site for recipes -- so thanks for the link, Amara.

The Witchdoctor. I picked up the hair/hat at Gritty Kitty while on the CSR, and the whole look formed around that.  Bigger:  ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/skelldagger/3782133034/sizes/l/)

Oh, Skell, that's awesome! The hat/hair really work well with the tatts, and that jacket. Interestingly, the first thing that popped into my head was Geoffrey Holder as Baron Samedi in "Live and Let Die".. |

oooh...I just flipped over to "August" in the "Women of the Forum Calendar" - and it's Oryx. That is such an incredibly alluring and intriguing pic. (For those of you who have not yet seen said calendar, there's a copy up on the wall at Forum Cartel Hangout...and it's still for sale, with the monies going to Heifer International.) |

And re: the egg cup/plate: lol...of course I had to start doing a search...many showed up on ebay! Egg cups/eBay - tons of them. More for the collector. I look periodically. Some too cutesy (chickens, etc.), some the wrong material ) (wood, yech for eggs, how difficult to clean), some tres expensive! I haven't quite seen any yet that have made me say "I must have this one". The one in the photo was kind of neat because it wasn't an actual "cup". I did have some suggestions from a few people on Chowhound, that I've bookmarked elsewhere but haven't quite made the final decision about. And a "Pocillovist" is one who collects egg cups. What a great word but not something I'm longing to be at the moment I have enough collections of stuff I have that won't fit into my apartment

Herbs in tubes - I think Ive seen them, but Ive never used them. I might try it, I hate havign to used dried all the time, but the fresh stuff just goes off far too quickly. From: Joshooah Lovenkraft Joshooah's Blueberry Pancakes.... /me makes notes in BIG writing to try this out very soon (and convert cups into something I can use ) From: Kaimi Kyomoon Me too. I'm so glad you came back to us, Claire. I mean you always said you would and I never doubted it. But it's great to have you here everyday again. *hugs* You are so sweet Kaimi! Elora - I'm glad all went well last night - apart from the greifers :/ - It was a bit late for me, sorry I couldn't be there. I'm heading to bed early tonight - not even going in-world. I'm going sightseeing tomorrow and dont want to be hungover from too little sleep lol. Night y'all! *blows kisses*

What a great word but not something I'm longing to be at the moment I have enough collections of stuff I have that won't fit into my apartment there was a time when I could have remembered "pocillovist" however long it took until I could work it into a conversation with someone who would appreciate it. Now I'm not so sure of my memory - or that I have enough years left for the opportunity to ever present itself. But I do love to learn new words.

From: Maureen Boccaccio Snickers, you look....beyond hot. That outfit's fabulous on you. Oh blush. Thanks all. I just thought it was an awesome outfit. It really was the first one I've seen that made me actually want to wear the matching purse. Inga Wind makes some very interesting things. Most of her complete outfits come with very well done shoes which is so nice. My only complaint is that her stuff is mod/xfer no copy. I'd rather it be mod/copy no xfer but oh well.
