You really should find a way to come visit me for a few days, Heather.

[mesipie]

morning
I'm tired still

[MsJennJenn]

.....and I miss Jenn.......

Is she fasting?

Are vanilla wafers the norm for banana pudding in the south?  Does anyone make it from scratch with a real crust?

Fasting was last week. I'm here. Just fighting a nasty cold.
I have an interview today at 3p. Need my sinus' to clear up for least an hour.

And banana pudding isn't banana pudding without niller wafers here in Texas!

[MsJennJenn]

Oh and my schedule has changed several times trying to find the right balance.

Currently this week I'm in office
Mon\Wed\Fri: 9-1p
Tue\Thur: 1-5p

I can only get on GP when I'm in office or at home.

[Melody]

*hugs Jenn*

What do you all do when you get sick on your fast day? 

Andrew is fasting today but he started puking at school so I had to go pick him up.  No fever but he feels terrible.  He's not hungry of course but a day for God focus is ruined when he can barely think.  I have the answer I give myself but have never heard it addressed or asked before today I don't think.  What do u do or tell your kids?

[Melody]

Oh, I went and said all that about our website having more sermons.  Here's the site if anyone's interested:

The way my mother has always taught me was that God honors the sacrifice you committed to do. He understands if something arises that causes you to break your fast. He honors that your intentions started out and even finished right. Not that you followed thru with the fast? If that makes sense?

[Lynx]

You're fasting to get the flesh under control, get it out of the way so you can get closer to God.  I don't think being sick will interfere with the objective.  It's a matter of your heart's intent, not how circumstances turn out. 


And we always use Nilla (tm) wafers.  What kind of crust would you make for pudding?  It's a pudding, it doesn't have a crust.  Or at least I've never heard of such - wouldn't that make it a banana cream pie?

[Melody]

I don't think I've ever had a banana cream pie with wafers, only a real pie crust.  That's cool.

And I was reading what I missed yesterday and I have never heard someone say "sha" whatsoever.  I'm intrigued.  I think someone should youtube it.  It is very difficult for me to figure out what you all are saying with the hillbilly speak/type.  But it's fun to imagine how it sounds!   

Ruby, have you heard it in OR? 

I love hearing new things.  I was totally tickled when Mel called me and said "Okay" in the way she does.  I had never heard it said that way or since.

For some reason, I am reminded of a story.

A couple of years ago, I bought a few pairs of new work jeans.  And I ripped one of the legs on one of the pairs right above the ankle.  For about 2 years, they sat in the top of my closet, only to be gotten down when I was out of other jeans, and instantly shown to my wife.  She is my seamstress, and I would point out to her again and again that I needed these jeans fixed.

This went on every few months or so until one day, I started in again when my wife looked at me,  pulled a and finally said "Those jeans are fixed."

I looked.  By george, they were.

But the problem is I dont know HOW LONG they were fixed.  And I am afraid she put up with me telling her that I needed them fixed for 2 years and I was wrong for 2 years.

And I am afraid that is going to haunt me.

Let this be a lesson to you married men.

[MelodyB]

Why didn't you ask her how long they had been fixed? DUH!


And Melodya, its O K! Not okay. Lol spell it right if you are mimicking the way that _I_ say it. Lol



I also have never EVER heard of a banana pudding with a crust! That's just WRONG! I don't like it with a cooked meringue or cooked pudding either. Has to be instant pudding and cool whip. That's just Bible Gospel right there. (sorry Isaac! I know you will dispute that!)


I just ate the most amazing salad. Spring mix, tomatoes, green onions, sweet bell peppers, cheese, croutons, bacon bits, and ranch dressing. Wow. It was yummy! All it needed were some beets. I had some and didn't think of it till I was down to my last few bites. Oh well, I have more of that stuff, maybe my next salad will contain beets.

[Melody]

@ Mini & Mel.

Mmmm, salad sounds fabulouso, Mel.

[Lynx]

Instant pudding is going to be the downfall of our civilization.  What's really sad is, some people are so used to it that they think it's normal, and they actually PREFER it over real homemade pudding.  Sad.  Just plain sad. 

for beets in the salad though. Sometimes I take a can of beets to work for supper.  If I don't wipe my mouth and scrub my teeth after supper break, I look like I've been trying out the vampire lifestyle.

Sha isn't hillbilly at all, it is cajun.  You don't usually hear it anywhere but in La. and mostly south La... unless there is a cajun population around.

[Melody]

I think it's pop, Isaac. 

I haven't made every flavor of pudding from scratch, so I don't know if it always beats instant.  But for banana, lemon, reg. chocolate, vanilla, strawberry are better homemade ~imo.

Iss gnawt heelbeely, iss CAYCHUN!!!!!! 





And here, banana puddin' can be with either graham crackers (what we most of the time had it as) or vanilla wafers.

[MelodyB]

I prefer instant pudding. Any flavor.

[Lynx]

I do not comprehend "pop."  But yes, every homemade pudding I've tried always pwnd every instant imitation.  Especially chocolate.  I have some chocolate pudding in the fridge right now that I must go eat because we're having this discussion. 

Hey, it's as good an excuse as any to eat some good homemade chocolate pudding, right?  Right! 

[Melody]

Iss gnawt heelbeely, iss CAYCHUN!!!!!! 

explain to me how cajuns aren't hillbillies.

[MsJennJenn]

I prefer instant pudding. Any flavor.

Me too. It's much more creamier to me. The stove top kind is weird. Gross.

[mesipie]
