[theprunetang]

is that your son?

It's me.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

It's me.

Congrats on the most awkward double thumbs up I've ever seen. Sincerely.

That was the point. Haha

 

[ABM]

is that your son?

He may as well be as I'm 62 and he's 37.

 

[Chris Craig]

It's me.

Your ABMs son?

 

[theprunetang]

Your ABMs son?

Probably cooler than my dad, so I suppose I should trade up.

 

[THE HCP]

I'm the hot chic in the back!

 

[theprunetang]

Anyways, thanks @ABM for having me over. The hot wings were great, your wife was very kind, and I obviously enjoyed playing with your dogs. Not the best outcome for the game, but there are 81 more of them!

I appreciate the hospitality.

Lots of fun, @theprunetang. Thanks for dropping by. You had the ladies fascinated and enthralled with your keen knowledge of wild birds and nature in general! Yeah the outcome wasn't what we wanted but, as you mentioned, there are 81+ more games. We'll do it again...hopefully, soon. Oh, and thanks for the insights into your S2 moniker.

We might have to circumvent the salary cap, though. I have friends who know friends of Chris Dudley!

Plus I tried to pull off my best @crandc and made some Lemon Cardamom cupcakes with lemon buttercream frosting.


And yes, I need to work on my decorating skills. Haha

Dude, the ladies are STILL commenting on your amazing cupcakes! They both related that women love a man who can cook/bake. Crap, and you play the piano and guitar, too?!!

You're kinda like a much younger version of this guy in their estimation....

Is that classic, neoclassic, or quick buttercream?

 

[theprunetang]

Is that classic, neoclassic, or quick buttercream?

I had to look that up. Baking is new to me, so I'm learning as I go. Based on my search results, I would say Classic. Although, I substituted half of the heavy whipping cream for fresh lemon juice from my lemon trees.

Hey, ABM, good to see you again!

 

[crandc]

Classic doesn't have cream. Sugar syrup, eggs (or just whites or yolks), butter, flavorings.

 

[theprunetang]

Classic doesn't have cream. Sugar syrup, eggs (or just whites or yolks), butter, flavorings.

Then I have no idea.
I used butter, confectioners sugar, salt, vanilla, heavy cream, and lemon juice.

 

[crandc]

Quick buttercream.

Classic is made by boiling sugar syrup to soft ball, pouring over beaten eggs, yolks, or white, beating until cool & voluminous, then beating in up to a pound of butter. Add flavorings (vanilla, chocolate, coffee, liqueur, whatever). Neoclassic adds a bit of corn syrup to sugar & water, keeps it from crystallizing (I always do neoclassic), same technique. Quick has no egg, beats butter with confectioners sugar, adds flavor. Sweeter.

 

[Shaboid]

And I just realized that I know absolutely nothing about baking.

Almost all of these pics are better than the 'opening video/introductions' the Blazers did this year. I look forward to each new season to see what they have come up with and most times they are very good. This year's seemed to take for ever, had almost zero hype to it and didn't seem to get the crowd into it like usual.

Maybe with this opening road trip, they can create something better. If that is the basis for the opening introductions for the whole season....snoozeville to me.
