[Summering]

Friday is the day...........I have a bit more to do tomorrow. Really that area has the seasons....
I see leaves on the ground in Jan. Once in awhile there is a snow storm.........perhaps one a winter, lol.
I do love wintertime snow. The snow we have had up until now will keep my heart full. We've done the sleigh riding and snowboarding........warm fires. PLOWing.......this steep driveway.
I love having just that touch of winter. Christmas with snow............But, yes.........I am ready to vacate the area...
Its 65 or so there today. Meanwhile we have snow and below zero with high winds. I'll go for the 60's.
I find I can get out more all winter long. Walk at Broadway at the beach, walk at the Barefoot Landing.
Here, I usually am too cooped up........
This works quite well. Some winter and then lots of springish and summer weather..........anyhow.........see that name of mine? Summering loves Summer, Oh yep!

Have a great trip, Summering! We leave in a couple of weeks for a month in the sun. We should be back here for the March, winter blasts. Yes, it reallllly cold, snowy, and windy right now. I can feel the wind seeping in around the window. That's unusual.

Here's another funny while we await JG's return... And who out there will admit to doing this very thing - at least once? I know I have!

My friend's husband is always telling her that housekeeping would be a snap if only she would organize her time better. Recently he had a chance to put his theory into practice while his wife was away. When I popped in one evening to see how he was managing, and he crowed, "I made a cake, frosted it, washed the kitchen windows, cleaned all the cupboards, scrubbed the kitchen floor, walls and ceiling and even had a bath."


I was about to concede that perhaps he was a better manager than his wife, when he added sheepishly, "When I was making the chocolate frosting, I forgot to turn off the mixer before taking the beaters out of the bowl, so I had to do all the rest."

oh, now that was a good laugh..thanks lialleycat!!

And another for today...

[SIZE=3]Why Engineers Don't Write Recipe Books

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
1. 532.35 cm3 gluten
2. 4.9 cm3 NaHCO3
3. 4.9 cm3 refined halite
4. 236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride
5. 177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22O11
6. 177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22O11
7. 4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
8. Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated protein
9. 473.2 cm3 theobroma cacao
10. 236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats (sieve size #10)

To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an overall heat transfer coefficient of about 100 BTU/F-ft2-hr, add ingredients one, two and three with constant agitation. In a second 2-L reactor vessel with a radial flow impeller operating at 100 rpm, add ingredients four, five, six, and seven until the mixture is homogenous. To reactor #2, add ingredient eight, followed by three equal volumes of the homogenous mixture in reactor #1. Additionally, add ingredient nine and ten slowly, with constant agitation. Care must be taken at this point in the reaction to control any temperature rise that may be the result of an exothermic reaction.

Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the mixture piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm). Heat in a 460K oven for a period of time that is in agreement with Frank & Johnston's first order rate expression (see JACOS, 21, 55), or until golden brown. Once the reaction is complete, place the sheet on a 25C heat-transfer table, allowing the product to come to equilibrium.

Been wondering the same thing.... How'd the trip go, JG?

[lialleycat]

Yeah, where are you JG? I'm running low on jokes.... But I found this one today... Hurry JG!

A man and a woman were having dinner in a fine restaurant. Their waitress, taking another order at a table a few paces away noticed that the man was slowly sliding down his chair and under the table, with the woman acting unconcerned.


The waitress watched as the man slid all the way down his chair and out of sight under the table. Still, the woman dining across from him appeared calm and unruffled, apparently unaware that her dining companion had disappeared.


After the waitress finished taking the order, she came over to the table and said to the woman, "Pardon me, ma'am, but I think your husband just slid under the table."


The woman calmly looked up at her and replied firmly, "No he didn't. He just walked in the door."
