    I think most of you have already touched on my thoughts about those pants. If it were me though, I wouldnā€™t wear them any time of year ā€“ not even April Fools or Halloween. Peoplee would die laughing if they saw me in them. Itā€™s not quite the emotion youā€™re going for on Halloween.

    Susan, in reply to your comment last night about Leaky, I think there is some obvious confusion. I was not implying that Leaky had anything to do with what happened here on BS. After reading one of Dryā€™s comments, I sort of got sidetracked into making a comment about trolls and how Leaky, in particular, responded to it.

    To further elaborate, trolls are like those instigators stirring up trouble in sports. Like on GC, they start the trouble, but rarely get penalized, even if they make a flagrant violation of the rules. The one who responds to the instigator is usually always caught and penalized. The same can be true here on GC, particularly if the responder uses some pretty strong colorful metaphors.

    I know Iā€™ve come close to making such replies in the past only to delete the post either before or after posting. Other long-time posters have disappeared after sparring with these trolls. We all need to step back and take a deep breath, Leaky included. I enjoy his comments as much as the rest of you here do. Too bad heā€™s now confining his posts only to DS. His talents are missed elsewhere.

    @ 2Old ā€“ NO! I also LOVE mince meat pie with cheddar cheese or French vanilla ice cream! (To drink with that, maybe a Brandy Alexander would go nicely).@X, I think Rolandā€™s pants are perfect for ANY time at the cat rescue center!

    Both Susanā€™s and Stelā€™s examples are GREAT but . . .Neither one explains HOW to do it (for a dummy like me)!Since I lost Webshots, I put all the photos Iā€™ve used on the comments to a single Flickr page (some sorted to sets because I wonā€™t pay anymore after losing all my albums on Webshots- so no albums).

    In order NOT to have some in my Flickr that I will only use once (special searches for a birthday) I try to link directly to the source if they donā€™t need a change (or if animated I donā€™t think Flickr can DO those).

    I imagine most of those who want to do this are in (more or less) the same situation with photos and searches. I have seldom paid attention when listing ā€œpropertiesā€ to size etc. (as that meant nothing to my use), but just used that feature to capture the web location.

    Oh! And I just have to talk about food (instead of my regular fresh garlic pasta for breakfast) I had a big serving of egg white in the carton that I wanted to use up, so hauled out my big griddle and made Fr. toast (4 whole slices of WW bread that I dredged with ground cinnamon (and left drying on the counter while I was down here earlier) and cooked up 1/2 box of blueberries with a splash of water and a little Truvia baking mix, sliced a ripe peach too and had a good 1/2Cup of plain Greek yogurt. I whisked a pinch of Kosher salt and a big splash of vanilla into my egg whites and when the griddle was hot (475) I cooked the 4 slices (applying a little butter to griddle when I turned them). Had the whole thing down here at the table (2 slices at a time) topping one slice at a time with yogurt, syrup and peach bits ā€“ YUMMY!

    @Ling, That bakery sounds great to me (and I need to make supper) bur Vetsā€™ Miracle Whip w bananas not at all. @Grog you would love the Thanksgiving rum cake I made (only for the grownups of the family) one year. It was a rumcake topped with a marzipan (almond paste) cornucopia that took lots of time to form all the pieces. I made little eclairs for the kids (and those who donā€™t like to taste booze in food). Strangely there are always some. I did a search and have no photo of the cake (hopefully Iā€™ll find a hard copy).

    I just got home from Home Depot and itā€™s time to eat!

    Dazz, Iā€™ve never had a rhum cake, and for the most part Iā€™m a believer that booze and sweets donā€™t go together, but some things, like my momā€™s mince pies/tarts were awesome. She admitted that she put more brandy into the mix after I turned 18. I have to admit it made something good even better.

    I havenā€™t had one of those in years and Iā€™m not much of a pastry chef. I do make a decent French Canadian meat pie thoughā€¦.another thing I grew up with.
