Do we have anyone's in harm's way of the hurricane?

I talked to my sister yesterday, who is 15min. from Baltimore.  She was fine as of then.  Haven't heard since.

I was gonna go to the store today BUT probably not now. People here are going crazy, I'm sure.

We have some errands to do after work but it'll probably depend on the weather. A lot of things are closed. I called Medicare this morning for one of my claimants and the message said they're closed :o

At any rate, work is done for the day so I'll probably study now.

Yeah, Renee was already getting water in her basement yesterday.
Have you slapped that one dude from Indiana with a pie in the face today?

Seth - are you getting rain down there? My mom said they had rain/sleet this morning. We had ice/sleet earlier but I think it might have stopped. Supposed to have more tomorrow and maybe Thursday. 56,000 without power here.

Renee posted elsewhere this morning that they came through "unscathed - didn't even lose power (a couple small flickers when the wind was its highest, but nothing that even reset the clocks)."

I have a fair number of friends in areas with very high winds, but so far no one has checked in with any serious damage or harm. Thankful.

Howdy y'all.

I did some "market research" by going around asking coworkers if they thought fried pies would sell at work.  I intend to make some for a church fundraiser.  The general response was "don't ask unless you have some... cause now I'm hungry!"  :roll:  So guess what I'm making today...

Yes, I got that impression last time. 

Or... I could just say that our stove is better than yours.  :P 

Everyone was hollering for chocolate, but I am not whipping up a batch of chocolate pudding just for a test run.  If I did, I'd eat the rest of it.  I know me too well.

One thing about it, I learned WHY you are supposed to "cut" the shortening in.  The little bitty lumps of shortening is what makes the crust flaky when they melt while frying/baking.

No no no, I would eat the rest of the chocolate pudding - without making it all into pies.

But cancel what I said about chocolate pies... I just found a bottle of chocolate topping in the things-I-found-at-the-salvage-grocery box.  Couldn't hurt to try it.  And if I can find any (acck, pfft!) milk chocolate around here, I'll try a s'mores pie as well.

Well the s'mores pie was a bust - literally.  Marshmallow + heat = mushroom cloud.  But falling back on previous high-heat experience (which is usually like falling back full length on a set of steak knives, but...) I could cook it at higher heat and cook the crust before the marshmallow puffs up.  If I can stand the smoke in my eyes from the hotter grease...

All the rest turned out good - strawberry/balsamic jam, pear preserves, chocolate/peanut butter topping, sweet potato casserole (from a can) all fried up nicely.

The wind here this morning was terrible. It was so strong while we were working trucks that it was blowing around boxes which were 30 lbs plus. felt like it was going to flip my van a few times to. No snow though. :-(

I am tired. gonna grab a nap.

I dreamed about snow last night.  Which was all well and good... until I woke up to cold reality.  :(

What?  You've never had a sweet potato fried pie?  It was the best of the lot!

I was using what I had on hand.  When I go into production mode Friday I'll have apple.  I gave Chel the last jar of apricot.  I have no love for artificial flavoring in canned lemon pie filling.  Chocolate I have covered.  Peach... refer to the comment about lemon.  Canned peaches are pallid, flavorless things.

Isaac, making lemon or lime curd (homemade filling) isn't difficult and it keeps.  I think you would rather like it.

Here is a recipe that makes lime curd for lime cheesecake bars.  I've made this and gotten great results.  I have all other times been a cheesecake failure but since this is a sheet cake of cheesecake, I had success!

ok.  You guys have me in a baking mood.   I'm going to go make 2 batches of choc. chip cookies. 

One being the regular recipe that's on the pkgs of chips.  The other is one that replaces the b.soda? for cornstarch.  I've made both already but I want to test them side by side and I have a lady at church that is my cookie tester.

Well. I made it through the longest day ever.  :smirk2: And I even braved Walmart's horde of idiotic folk and picked up a handful of things we needed. Think we are gonna have meatball subs for dinner. While Lou fixes them (hopefully) I shall be studying and begging God for a crumb to share Wednesday night, since Bro Papa has advised me I'm needed again.
And y'all need to stop with the baking. I'm already fatter than I have a right to be, and everytime you say "bake" my mind associates the word "eat" with it, and I'm off to munchies land. So, it's y'all's fault that I'm fat. And I recently read a study that proved that, on average, fat people are friends with OTHER fat people. So, to recap- I'm your friend. I am fat. I am not alone. You,too, are fat. Deal with it. Better yet, bake a goodie and come to my house, we'll all console one another.  :fork: :freaky2:

Fat is as fat does.

Or something.

Earlier I feared I was dying of botulism.  Now perhaps I'm not.  But it's hard to say with me.  I'm very delicate and fragile.
