    I've not heard of Marie Sharp's. I'll have to look into that. I am fond of sriracha! I'll check the grocery store for that next time I'm out. I quite enjoy frying up a package of udon with a splash of soy sauce, sprinkle of brown sugar, and a decent bit of sriracha. Also good with the addition of a tsp of peanut butter.

    I received my Darkness Into Light t shirt today. It's for my 5k charity walk in May. I hope to upload a photo in Tavern's at some point. :)
    If anyone would like to sponsor me, I'd be very grateful. I'm trying to raise money for Pieta House, which is a suicide prevention charity.

    Bike gearing.
    Just did some calculations for similar gearing for hills.
    Current front gear for hills is 22; biggest rear cog is 36.
    F22 R36 = 0.61 ratio.
    Currently can do hills with 3rd biggest rear cog
    F22 R28 = 0.79
    Ratios for largest rear cog on 40 and 42T cassettes running 30 front are
    F30 R40 = 0.75
    F30 R42 = 0.71
    Thus 42T is the best option.

    Also looking at buying better quality chain as I've noticed the base model is worn out only after 500Ks.

    Gifts: A summer dress, set of hairbands, a stretchy headband, 2 furry scrunchies for Sienna, and a scarf, which is for my mum. :)
    For myself: A fitted sheet and a McDonald's. I was good, as I got chicken nuggets, a side salad (bleurgh, never again :blech:) and a berry smoothie. :p

    I could! But I'd need a crying eagle first.

    Seeing real live eagles is kind of disappointing. It's like meeting a celebrity you've admired from afar. They are shorter and fatter than you imagined, their breath stinks, and they leer at your wife. Not at all how they are portrayed.

    First eagle I had a real look at was in a high treetop. Cap'm whistled. Sounded just like an eagle. Eagle called back, then Cap'm threw a red fish(?) carcass about ten feet off the port side. That eagle made the long swoop down to the water, and my little brother snapped a photo of the massive spread of it's wings, talons out, just before it grabbed the fish. I'll never forget that!

    We've got a pair that have a nest somewhere around here. Every time I see one perched on a telephone pole or something, it's hard but not be a little awed at the size of them.

    Take away the butter and cornstarch, and you've got ingredients for pancakes. Lemon juice and sugar on top to serve. :superidea:

    You don't put butter on your pancakes?!?! Monster! Also, it you were going to put sugar and lemon on top, you could always put a pot of sugar water, butter, and lemon juice on simmer, then temper some corn starch into it to make a lemony version of Mrs. Butterworth's.

    Peanut butter on pancakes is divine! Regular butter simply is not needed! Just add the "mapleiest" maple syrup you can find. I know, it sounds awful to those who never tried it, but changed my world view and my view of humanity. Not unlike discovering cold beer on a hot day!

    Baby, is it your milky lemons with butter-sugar cornstarch balls in a flour setting? I'm rushing to you my love, your face of flour, your buttery fingers and on...

    My people do know the value of Maple Syrup. I just love butter.

    This is something I'm going to have to work out a recipe for now.

    I love butter also. Sometimes I have to go to the shop and buy more butter. I have butter with peanut butter.

    Peanut butter (crunchy) without butter (salted) is a disservice to the bread on which it is served and the mouth into which it will be crammed.

    This is probably not age-appropriate, but age-appropriate can go suck it. I WANT TO SPARKLE LIKE THE UNICORN I AM.
