daveb Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Well, (to spoil the joke, which doesn't quite cross the "pond" - had to look it up) it's not that I am afraid of dentists. It's more that I don't like the discomfort involved. And the cost. At least getting a crown put on is pretty tame and doesn't require any sort of pain-blocking or drilling. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tunhope Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Senses of humour have national boundaries too! (Should that be sense of humours? Is it like spoonsful and spoonfuls? I don't know. probably doesn't matter.) 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cdrdash Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Very much enjoyed a visit from one of my old college chums the day before yesterday. I showed her and her son the Google campus and took them out to dinner in downtown Mountain View. And now, I am very much enjoying not having house guests and having a cleaner house 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cdrdash Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 It's "Bring your kid to work day" today at Maxar Technlogies and I think at other bay area companies! It is rather fun to hear giggles all over the office. It is a good thing I don't have anything to do today that requires lots of concentration as the kids are a bit louder this year than in previous years! Hearing them makes me smile for the most part. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For those who don't want to waste time, Coronation Chicken was created to celebrate the coronation of the current Queen, back in the early 1950s. Coronation chicken sandwiches and sandwich filling is very commonly available in the UK. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AllThisTime Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Not to be confused with "the" Queen Elizabeth cake. Honestly @will123 I must be a bad Canadian because I didn't know that's what this yummy cake I like so much (cake!) is called. Spoiler 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daveb Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Coconut, yuck. Coconut is to cake as pineapple is to pizza - turns something really good into something really awful. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Coconut is to cake as pineapple is to pizza - turns something really good into something really awful. I agree on the coconut...blech. And coconut EVERYTHING seems to be the trend these days. But I think your statement (on both coconut and pizza) will open the proverbial can of worms! Have we had the pizza discussion before? It seems familiar.... 😏 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sleepy Otter Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I have food issues, so I have to use coconut milk, oil, and flour in some recipes (not all together). Coconut oil is not bad on vegetables or to cook with and I have gotten used to whipped coconut milk - that is the most coconutty of the three. The flour is fairly neutral. Coconut is not my favorite but I have made peace with the fact that if I am going to eat anything considered "normal" it is going to have coconut in it...although if I were able to eat everything, I probably wouldn't pick a cake with coconut flakes in the icing. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gentle Giant Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I like coconut in and on things. But I don’t like drinking coconut milk. Too thick and sweet. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tja Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I like coconut in candy. Preferably, covered in chocolate. That's about it. Coconut flour is good for pancakes. I cook everything in EVOO. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
