The "Nice Happy" Thread

Gluten free cornbread has been baked and is now part of leftovers. My regular recipe usually comes out of the oven with a rating of 8 of 10. Iowa has different humidity and weather than Oklahoma and southern Missouri, so it isn't a consistent 9. There are times when every note is hit just right, and I pull a pan of 9.5 from the oven. It works at dinner, for prebed snack (with milk), and when warmed up over the next days. Other times it's a 6 and much of it gets thrown away.

 

Last night's gluten free rates a 7. Not as good as my regular recipe often is but better than sometimes. It also doesn't hold it's taste as well after reheating and cooling.

So yesterday was my big birthday gift. My brother and I saw one of my favorite bands in concert last night. Here's my (mildly edited) recap for my friends plus as much of the playlist as I can remember.

 

The show was great, the venue was POOP and not enough people were there but it was awesome

(Pete and I made their Face Book page! We're to the right of the guitar player Pete has the beard and I have the blue hat on backwards right behind him!)
 
They played 15-20 songs I was trying to remember the play list but I did a crappy job. The Order kind of dies after the um...first song. :D
 
Pete and I put our brains together this morning and came up with this semblance of a set list: (using live versions where I can so you can live it!)

My mother got interested in the Phryne Fisher mysteries after seeing the adaptation on the drama channel. So I got her the first set of books and then she went through them like a hot knife through butter.

In the books Miss Fisher drinks gin, cointreau and orange juice. Well my mother is a gin drinker and also likes cointreau and so wanted to try it out. Success ! It is quite nice. I am not a gin drinker per se but I do like this cocktail. And that came from the books not the series.

The majority of my comic collection is now on newly constructed shelves. That means Uncanny X-Men from the time of the new team, X-Men, Firestorm, Punisher (pre his death and resurrection), JLA (Geffin era) (Batman punched first !), JL Europe/International, Tom Strong, Wild CATS, Savage Dragon Spawn, Authority, Silver Surfer, Wetworks, Stormwatch and Knights of the Dinner Table are all in order and various others compiled into place.

 

There is now an official Rammstein channel on Youtube so I can now get to the videos of Links 2 3 4 and Sonne without fear of them being removed again.

Wallabies unfazed by controversial calls

https://au.sports.yahoo.com/rugby/a/29963199/wallabies-unfazed-by-controversial-calls/

 

In a crucial five-minute stretch just before halftime, officials missed a blatant forward pass, a knock-on and an unintentional obstruction with the match on a knife edge leading into the break.

 

The trio of errors led to the All Blacks piling on 10 points to turn a slender three-point buffer into a commanding 16-3 halftime lead, putting a massive dent in Australia's chances of forcing an upset at Twickenham.

And so unexpected for a Englishman to post in this thread when his country's team--the hosts--couldn't even get out of the group stage. :snicker:

the All Blacks become the first nation to win the Rugby World Cup three times and the first to retain. That is worth celebrating.

After all the All Blacks are the premier rugby team in the world.

The fact that they beat Australia to do it just makes it all the sweeter.

Transferring to the Oakridge store to get my "full time" status back. The quotation marks signify that I'll be working a great dea less --36 hour week (extra day off every two weeks, so much nicer than it sounds), stat days and more vacation time. Also, knocking an hour off my commute.

 

The downside is that I commute by bike, so much less exercise. I'll get fat(ter)!

 

Maybe I should post this in the Cranky Thread, with the guys who are afraid of going bankrupt and losing family members, instead?
