Damn

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I can hardly stand it!

I made some brownies tonight with Ghirardelli's brownie mix, and they smell so amazing!

Can't eat them yet...

They have to cool!

Good thing I'm safely upstairs and far away from them!

:9

What yummy thing did you get to eat today?

:hi:

[helderheid]

1. My Dear CAPeggy,

I CAN'T EAT BROWNIES!!!! But I did have champagne! :P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear helderheid...

You can't? Ooooh, I'm sorry, sweetie...

Champagne, on the other hand, is a gift of the gods!

:toast:

[Redstone]

2. Uh, I can't answer that question, because of the Sex Thread ban, OK?

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear Redstone!

I hear ya!

Lucky, lucky MrsR!

:evilgrin:

[Redstone]

Teacher, teacher, Peggy said "damn!"

And knew what I was talking about!

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Ah....I fell off that particular turnip truck...

A verrrrrrrrrry long time ago, TYVM!

:rofl:

[Redstone]

14. Now, THERE's the Cal Peg we all know and love.

One thing about DUers, there's always depth, isn't there?

But this one DUer right here is about to go upstairs and explore the depth of the down-filled comforter under which his wife is keeping warm for him.

Politics be damned; there are more important things.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Sweetest of dreams, my dear Redstone...

Yes, there's always depth...

Snuggle your wife...

She's a peach!

:hug:

[flvegan]

10. BAHAHAHA!

You just paid me back for the laugh I gave you (with matcom) the other day.

Nice.

:thumbsup:

[Redstone]

16. Ya welcome.

Redstone

[SeattleGirl]

3. Just finished a piece of strawberry cheesecake!

Quite delicious!

Your brownies sound very yummy too! :9

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear SeattleGirl!

Ah....strawberry cheesecake!

Wonderful stuff, huh?

I'm sure my brownies will be wonderful....once they cool off!

:9

[grannylib]

7. I did chicken stir fry with veggies and a spicy sauce over white rice

I've really been in the mood for Asian food lately; went out to a Chinese place for lunch with a friend the other day, and was really disappointed. Overpriced buffet of overbreaded, pretty tasteless, barely warm food. So I made my own :-)
Chocolate sounds great, though, and other than ice cream, no sweets in the house...so I'm having hot chocolate. It's slowly getting more springlike here, but it's still pretty chilly, and I want to be WARM!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear grannylib!

Now your dinner sounds wonderful!

Much better than what you were exposed to...

Hot chocolate rocks!

It certainly will warm you all the way through!

:hi:

[Brigid]

11. Ghirardelli makes brownie mix?

I didn't know that, but oh, boy am I in trouble! There is a 24-hour grocery store only a few blocks from here that probably carries it. Late-night snack time, maybe? Temptation doth rear its ugly head! :9

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear Brigid!

They did, anyway...

I bought this particular package some years ago...

It contained quite a lot of mix in it, in tightly sealed bags...

I bought it at Costco!

So, since I haven't looked for it in a long time, I'm not sure if they still make it...

I hope they do, because it's the best damn brownie mix I've ever encountered!

Simple to make too!

:9

[KitchenWitch]

13. Lots and lots of Thai food

:9

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear KitchenWitch!

Ah, that sounds wonderful too!

I know you had fun!

:hug:

[huskerlaw]

15. Ooooh, yummy!!

I ate lunch at The Cheesecake Factory this afternoon.

No cheesecake, but my herb-crusted salmon, mashed potatoes and asparagus were super-yummy!

I could go for a brownie right about now though... :P

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear huskerlaw!

Your lunch sounds wonderful too!

Yeah, the brownies will be calling me all night!

It's going to be tough sledding, cutting them up and putting them away later...

Without eating any!

I most likely will succumb....:P

:hug:

[harmonicon]

20. you can always have just a little one right away

.... when they're all runny and gooey and delicious :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear harmonicon!

Oh, I'm sure I could have...

But then what could I have had a thread about?

These guys are going to be warm for some time!

*sigh*

Besides, they are fattening...

:9

[harmonicon]

30. not 'fattening'...

... 'curve enhancing' :P

ok, for me they're fattening, but I'm a man.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. I'm not curvy...

I'm lumpy!

And they don't need enhancing!

Ah, at least my husband loves me just as I am...:P

[Pierre.Suave]

21. Stairs would not stop me...

If all else fails you can fall down them. At least you get a sweet brownie to eat while waiting for the Ambulance to arrive.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. My dear jasonc!

Bwahahaha!

I'm 64 years old, remember?

Even my lovely, carpeted stairs would hurt!

I have no desire to fall down them, evah!

I'll have one tonight, never fear...

:9

[Pierre.Suave]

24. And I would never suggest you try it either...

I am sure the brownies are awesome, but still, not worth it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Oh, sweetie...I know you were kidding...

The last time I took a tumble down some stairs, I sprained my ankle, and was off work for a week...

I'm a lot more careful now!

:hug:

[CreekDog]

25. chinese food mmmmm

but the Ghirardelli brownies sound gooooooood. :hi: :P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear CreekDog!

I love chinese food!

But yes, the brownies will be wonderful!

Once they cool off, anyhow!

:9

:hi:

[CreekDog]

28. do you like them extra chewy and moist?

those are the best.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. It's been awhile since I've had any...

A little moist is very cool...

I don't recall that these usually turn out very chewy, though...

[Skittles]

32. I WILL KICK YOUR ASS AND EAT YOUR BROWNIES

YES INDEED

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear Skittles!

ROFL!

You can have some, OK?

I would be honored to share these with the legendary SKITTLES, YES INDEED!

:rofl: :rofl:

[Akoto]

34. Today? I had chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast.

There's a little restaurant just down the street that makes them. Two big ol' pancakes with chocolate chips sprinkled liberally in the batter. I look forward to it all week. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. My dear Akoto!

Chocolate chip pancakes?

Omigod!

Now that's sinful!

Sounds wonderful...I'll bet you look forward to them all week, sweetie!

Good for you...:hug:

[Akoto]

42. Oh yes, quite sinful.

Being diagnosed with this chronic pain thing has changed my view on a lot of things, though. Not long ago, I'd have seen such a dish as off-limits and unhealthy. I now realize that we're all better off with a little sinfulness, even if it's in pancake form. :evilgrin:

[Maddy McCall]

35. I didn't eat ANYTHING delicious today.

:cry:

I had a ham sandwich for dinner...

I'm trying to watch what I'm eating while I'm recuperating from surgery...it would be so easy to put on about 20 lbs laying on the couch, eating scrumptious food.

:cry:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. My dear Maddy!

I'm so sorry, sweetie...

I had no idea you were recuperating from surgery...

I hope it went well, and that you will soon be in a position to eat yummy things again!

I hear ya about lying around on the couch...

BTDT...

:hug:

Get well quickly, OK?

[Maddy McCall]

43. Thanks, Peg.

I'm doing fine...just sad because I can't get out and do the things I enjoy.

Can't wait to be able to go fishing! :hug:

[The Straight Story]

37. I made some last night, with the cream cheese topping

MMMMM they were good warm :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. My dear Straight Story!

Cream cheese topping???

Wow....

I'll bet they were good warm or any other way too!

:9

[The Straight Story]

40. yeah the recipe was on the big box we got from Costco

Has 6 packs of brownies...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. Oh! Wow...

That's the same box I bought at Costco...

But mine was bought some years ago!

I don't make brownies too often...

Aren't they the best?

:9

[WayneF]

44. fried fish, caught by me

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. My dear WayneF!

Oh, those sound so damn yummy!

What kind were they?


And...Welcome to DU!

I see you just joined!

Have fun in our crazy, addictive little village!

:hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

46. Oh man, I wish I had brownies.

I am eating Sweet Chili Heat Doritos, which are pretty tasty.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. My dear primate1!

I wish you had some too!

Your Doritos do sound tasty...hot though!

I'm going to trot downstairs now, and see if these damn brownies are cool enough to cut!

BRB...

:hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

48. Very hot, just the way I like 'em.

If it wasn't 3am and freezing outside I'd go out and buy some brownie mix for myself, ahah.

[UrbScotty]

49. My dear CaliforniaPeggy!

I had...

wait for it...

wait for it............

McDonald's!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

51. My dear ih8thegop!

Well.....um.....



Good for you, sweetie!

I hope you enjoyed yourself, and your food too!

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

50. For dinner I ate a really yummy

Margarita thin crust pizza.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

52. My dear BarenakedLady!

Forgive my ignorance...

What is a Margarita thin crust pizza?

I guess I don't get the Margarita part...

Glad you enjoyed it, whatever it was!

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

54. The one i ate

along with my 10 year old was a tomato, mozarella cheese and fresh basil. It was very yum yum yummy. I wish we had leftovers.

[fujiyama]

53. MMMmmmm! That sounds good...

Save some for me! Now I'm almost, kinda, sorta in driving distance.

BTW, I should let ya know that I'm loving it out West so far! Portland is great! It just feels nicer out here. Even the food tastes better. As for yummy food, today I had Thai food (Lemon Grass Chicken) and Chicago Style Pizza for dinner.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

55. My dear fujiyama!

Ah, yes, you're in Portland!

I'm afraid, though, that by the time you got here, they would all have been eaten, alas!

I just had some, and they lived up to their advance billing...:9

I'm so glad you're loving Portland...it's beautiful there...

:hi:

[Lorien]

56. I'm eating blueberries. I really miss sugar though!

I'm so hypoglycemic that sweets and simple carbs are off limits, but man, those brownies sound amazing! I guess that I'll just have to enjoy them vicariously through you. ;-)

:hi:
