No, it wasn't. It's modeled on the cacao pod (called
cocoa pod in the reference linked below).

It went into the same account with all the
GIrl Scout graft money. Best not to
ask questions about that.

I'd like to tell you the whole thing,
but the Campfire Girls have interests in this area,
if you know what I mean.

I don't. But I did get a laugh anyway ... I ran outside to see the
eclipse, got a great view of it but it is freezing cold outside. Just
what I need to help my coughing. Long story short, came inside
to warm up only to find I can see the eclipse just fine through the
skylights from inside the warm house.

So we turned out the light and are watching when I hear MEOW
and the cat is staring up at the ceiling, essentially saying WHAT ARE
YOU LOOKING AT?? Cracked me up.

The eclipse was cool. My hubby took some good video of it, including a plane
flying right in front of the moon when the eclipse was halfway done.

Mine was from Melinda Shore, I think. Google Groups may know:

Nope. It was Gwendolyn Dean, and now that I read it, it was just a
backhanded compliment, not exactly a flame.

So it was probably J*mb*t, then.

Heheh, I'd have been more concerned if you hadn't been flamed by that

Oh, good grief. I don't even like the sounds of her "signature" *goat
cheese torte. Ugh. Why don't all the people who are so boohoo over
these missing people take it to email and have a love-fest reminiscing
with each other? Personally, I'd rather deal with the here and now.

I had the same thought myself.

ObFood - DH is finally going to play with the NuWave cooker thingy we
got for Christmas. He asked me to pick up a chicken, some spuds, and
green peppers. This could be interesting...

This story is true alas the cat now has passed and only the command words
I made up at that time and now have forgotten are the only invented part.

Be and my ex were down at my mom's cottage at the beach...A guy we knew
from high school was on the beach and recognized us...We felt impelled to
invite him up to the cottage for coffee. So he's talking about his great
danes a whole bunch. So I starts a Bullshit story about our cat. How it's
very smart and been attack trained . I tells him upon saying a certain
word my cat would assume gaurd mode. I looking around says to him the
word is Magoo, No sooner than the words leaving my mouth the cat runs
into the room jumps up on the coffee table...staring at this guy. So the
cat is holding her end of the BS story together. I say the release word
is MISSISSIPPI an the cat gets up and leaves. I swear this is a true
story...and my cat can BS with the best of them.

Hey, just filter it out...like you suggest the rest of us do that
complain about all the OT posts..

Susan was a vital, active part of rfc when I first started here. She
contributed a lot of wonderful recipes of which her goat cheese torta
was only one. I found some wonderful olive oil based on the
recommendation of what she posted here in rfc, She was a font of
information about great food shopping, at least in Sacramento where
she lived.

Yes it was in the past, but it is part of the foundation of rfc and a
lot of us have great memories of her and others long gone. I
personally don't want to forget those memories.

Oh, it never fails to be cloudy here when there is something
like this. I was so excited when I peeked out the window and
saw stars.

Same here. It's almost always cloudy wherever we live when something like
this is scheduled to happen. It was pretty clear here last night, though,
and we had a great view of the moon. So cool to watch it gradually turn red
like that. We even let our 5 yo daughter (who's into astronomy) stay up a
bit later than her usual bedtime so she could see it also.

I'll have to get DH to download the video clips and put them on YouTube.

You find all kinds of stuff on You Tube.

Here in Shreveport, a woman was arrested for a DWI, and during the
course of her "interrogation", she ended up with 2 black eyes, a broken
nose, broken cheek bone, broken ribs and a couple of her teeth were
missing. It is amazing how a handcuffed woman can hurt herself like
that. ;-)

I'm afraid to look, is that the woman where the cop decided to
turn off the camera and when he turned it back on, she was in
a pool of blood? Yikes.

Yeah, I'm rather confused myself.

Seems like if it is anything else that is OT or whatever that some of
these folks say to just filter or KF the threads instead of
complaining about them. Which I certainly do myself: I kf those
threads.

But, as I mentioned before, Susan was an active poster that
contributed a lot to rfc when she was here. And some of us do
remember her contributions and her spirit and don't want to forget
that.

So folks, follow your own advice...

But I didn't want to skip the thread. I was interested -- I
thought Art might actually have something to say about Susan.
Instead we get:

"No comment necessary, least of all from me."

Sorry, but that's not remembering "her contributions and her
spirit", that's "look at me, I remember an old timer"...

I believe that Susan was a little before my time, but judging by the

Yes, that is the same woman. Her photo was in the local paper here in
Shreveport, she looked pretty bad. This encourages me to obey the speed

I saw that picture, too. She was in handcuffs, I guess that's how she
wound up hitting her face over and over.
