Thank you for the peanut butter recipe heartheartheart
Reading that made my mouth water whee .
Now I wonder if peanuts would also taste good the way I prepare almonds when it's around xmas season.
It starts similarly too: They get roasted in the oven for 10 minutes (170 °C ~ 340 °F) & after this wait until they have cooled down.
2) let 150 g of dark chocolate melt in a bowl over hot water.
3) add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the melted chocolate and mix it in. Then put the bowl to the side.
4) add the almonds + mix them well
5) put the almonds into a (glas)container filled with 180g powdered sugar + 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (and a pinch of other xmas spices to your liking).
6) put the lid on and shake the container until all the almonds are well coated with chocolate and sugar.
7) let them cool down on a piece of baking paper and you're done. xd I can eat way too many of those.
ohh I understand biggrin ! Thank you! And also thanks for telling me I can just mix the mint jelly with others. :3 I'll have to try that! But I think I'll wait until it's summer. Maybe the jelly has a bit of a cooling effect to it, just like cold mint tea does? I'll have to find out.
Me too. I really want to try cloud berries still xd
biggrin That's a very good point! xd please please please get that super power soon~
biggrin Does the ps vita have a lot of exclusive titles?
I don't think I've ever even held one.
The closest one I have to that is an old used psp <- which I got because I wanted to play ff7 crisis core.
(And probably ape escape? I can't really remember. I didn't use it a lot. I used the 3ds a lot more).
Oh wow! I am surprised it is possible to make peanut butter at home. I've never heard of anybody doing that before. whee How did you do it? Was it difficult?
If I had had a lot of peanuts I think the only ideas my brain would come up with would be 1) coated peanuts to snack on, 2) peanuts + cornflakes covered in chocolate and 3) peanut brittles whee . Peanuts are great! whee
Wait what? I have never heard of pepper jams before. Are those fruit jams with chili inside? Are they very spicy? eek
I have been to Denmark last year. There I bought a jar of mint jelly <- but I haven't dared to try it yet. I am not brave enough. xd I had no clue mint jelly even existed either. Have you ever had mint jelly?
OH NO XD that brings back a memory (now that you have mentioned the mulberries) . In Denmark I really wanted to buy [time to use google translate] cloud berries. And the seller tricked me into buying a pack of dried mulberries instead. I was sad and ended up gifting the mulberries away. xd . I still wonder how cloud berries taste like. Do you know how they taste like?
That's two great picks for a super power. heart
Although I wonder if with some people (like evil politicians maybe) the power of mind reading could result in being super disappointed in those people eek
(but then again I guess that would make it very easy to decide whom to vote for biggrin)
yum_teaemotion_kirakira I highly approve!
At home I too watch all kinds of movies, documentaries, etc. biggrin . But in the plane I want to keep it as lighthearted and happy go lucky as possible. I will watch anything that gives off a "everything is fine" vibe - like kids moves, cartoons, comedies, etc. xd:
NICEEEE! You have some great games for the 3ds. biggrin Many I haven't even heard of!
I think my favorite 3ds game is probably: Zelda a Link between Worlds (because I used to like the SNES game a lot and was happy to see it get a game based on it).
But I also enjoyed Pokemon Sun, Super Mario 3d land, Mario Kart 7, Mario Party, as well as that nintendo DS multi game disc I got online mrgreen .
biggrin Good luck!! I too hope you will have a great peanut harvest coming up next year.
Up until recently I have never thought about combining peanut butter and chocolate myself - but I do like peanut butter cups so this makes absolute sense!
Also I've been told that peanut butter + nutella is a good combo. But I can't tell if it's true (but then again - I like both, so I guess I would like the combination as well) whee
Oh how I wish they would sell beauty berry jam here in the supermarket biggrin . I'd very much like to try it myself. The way you described it makes it sound delicious.
biggrin that sounds like the two of you could make a great compromise. First you fly to Japan and then you travel around the island by boat. biggrin I think this way you'd get to see a lot of great locations and also a lot of the sea and everybody would be happy. heart
(I don't live close to the ocean at all blaugh so I guess I would pick the superpower that lets me fly.)
What superpower would you pick if you could pick from any of the superpower shown in super hero comics/movies? mrgreen
biggrin Those are all some good things to drink! Ohh nice even green tea is in the list. I started drinking that one recently. I was told it's good for the blood circulation in the body and decided "hey why not, I'll give it a try". The only difference is that I drink mine warm biggrin and you drink yours cold.
heart Thank you for the suggestions. biggrin I tend to stay glued to the screen when I am flying (I will watch a ton of movies for kids and play some games on the phone or on a hand held). I am completely unable to sleep during flights as well. It would be great if I could though because it's a 12 hour flight (and longer when it's not a direct flight). xd I'm too much of a scaredy cat when it comes too flying.
What's your favorite game on the 3ds? biggrin
Oh wow, I think growing peanuts is a great idea. They are delicious.
I don't think peanuts can grow where I live but in case they can where you live I'd say give it a try biggrin . (Unless you have a peanut allergy, then please don't!!!)
Now I wish beauty berries would grow here even more. heart
That sounds ultra useful! biggrin How does the beauty berry jam taste like? Kind of like blueberries? strawberries? grapes?
I wish I could take a car or a train; but unfortunately an airplane is the only option for me to cross the Atlantic ocean within a reasonable amount of time. (I think a boat might also be possible but take forever. xd ) biggrin would you ever want to take a plane and fly somewhere? To see a place that is really far away?
That sounds like you are staying well hydrated. That's great! whee I like fruit juice [sometimes I dilute them with water] and lemonade a lot. But I also enjoy tea and a ton of other things to drink. (It kind of depends on the weather too. When it's cold and snowy I love a cup of mint tea or hot chocolate. When it's warm on the other side I do really enjoy a glass of apple juice mixed with sparkly water).
What I can't drink a lot of is water though. xd I don't know why but I just don't drink enough when I try to only drink plain water.
wow that's great! Well done! @ computer. whee
Oh wow that's so many nice seeds you got. emotion_kirakira biggrin I have never heard of beauty berries before. Can they be eaten? Do they taste good? They look great.
Also I'm happy to see sage in your list. Sage is SO useful. whee
(I am scared of flying xd So i try my best not to think about the upcoming trip at all)
Please be sure to stay hydrated too yum_tea biggrin
Mimi!! I'm happy hearing from you. biggrin
Oh dear, I am so glad you are feeling better again. heart (Having covid is no fun at all).
It's a good thing you have that old laptop whee . It's a nightmare being cut off completely from the internet. (I doubt I would ever be able to fix even the smallest thing on my pc if I had no internet eek)
Good luck to you with the computer! You can do it emotion_kirakira
I've been well. We have a saying here that roughly translates to "Bad weeds doesn't go away" (might be similar to the saying "Bad weeds grow tall"?). I like saying that whenever people ask me how I've been emotion_yatta
I've been very tempted to start gardening too. I removed some weeds from the planters at the balcony yesterday. But I can't really do my gardening routine this year (I'd normally be starting to grow tomato plants from seeds in front of the window etc. now) because I will go on a trip and visit my in laws for a while soon and the plants would not survive that. gonk biggrin What seeds did you buy? Have you planted them already?
i'm getting there bit by bit lol
and my comfortable temp is anywhere between 70-80 degrees, i can't stand cold weather despite having a naturally higher body temp than most people so i definitely agree with you there lol
and for the record i'm highly allergic to polen, like i break out in hives with too much physical contact, i like spring for the weather, everything else hates me in regards to it lmfaoooo
but outside of that, i spend 40-60hrs each week working in restaurant and when i'm not doing that i'm either reading, gaming or watching something, so there's that lol
i definitely get that, i'm personally more of a spring guy myself, not too hot and not too cold then lol
but i live in florida so i'm used to high heat ratings and i moved here from ohio where summers hit the 100's each year and winters drop below 0, so while yes it's been pretty hot, it's still manageable for me lol
is there anything in particular that's been causing your mental anguish or just a passing mood?
Hello Mimi whee
Your easter themed avi is cute biggrin . It makes me think of easter and of pokemon (one of the eeveelutions).
I'm sorry, I only did the daily login (if even) lately. But now I'll finally read and reply to messages whee
xd That naughty bear cracks me up! I can just imagine how happy he must have been when that large supply of food was found. (Almost like Winnie Pooh, when he finds some honey). whee
Noooo, why did Periwinkle get cursed so often? Was there a curse on the books she opened? eek Poor Periwinkle. xd I feel like I would probably be scared if I randomly encountered a very tall blue clown with four arms on the street. xd Hopefully people in the game weren't as easily intimidated(? is that the right word) as I am. Or else I think it might be a little difficult for her to entertain people and not have them rush back home and hide there.
Awww you even play games you don't enjoy - if others ask you if you can play said game with them? That is really kind of you! (I've been asking my husband to play my favorite video game for many years madD. I think he probably played it for a total of 20 minutes? Maybe) xdxd Teenage me would not be pleased. Back then long ago I was deciding "My future partner should be somebody I get along with, who also likes my favorite video game and who is like 2 years older than me" <- I can say that the first part is a check - the other two.. not. blaugh biggrin I was wondering: What do you enjoy more? Visual novels or real novels? Or do you enjoy them both equally? Do you have a favorite book?
I couldn't agree more. There is even a button right here in the comment section that allows you to add Youtube links. scream I find this very misleading and not okay. crying Gaia~ give us Pesty and Nid back please we miss them.
xd oh no, but to be honest food that it too sweet or too bland still sounds nice to me when I compare it to my least favorite food "saures Lüngerl" - but I think almost all of the dishes based on innards are great for keeping me out of the house and as far away as possible.
I think I gotta learn how to use a lot of them spices still. Just yesterday I had a look at a (zelda themed) cookbook and it listed an herb (Verbena officinalis) as an ingredient. I've never ever used or even considered it for cooking before (I've only ever used it for tea, and damn that was some bitter tea). Also I just realized that lot of the stuff I make even starts the same: Pan + oil + onion + garlic blaughxp
Thank you very much 3nodding I hope you have a very comfortable weekend.
biggrin I really enjoy good puns too. They are great. xd What a naughty pet bear you had. He makes me think of Tummi the gummi bear.
Bearnadette really sounds like a person one should not mess with (especially because of all those axes xd). This must have been a very fun and interesting campaign. 3nodding
wow that is quite the mix biggrin. I hope you will enjoy playing all the games and visual novels a lot.
(Hello Kitty Island Adventure sure gives me a lot of Animal Crossing vibes too biggrin. I think it's a good idea to wait a little @ this game :3 because it's not on sale at the moment. Who knows – maybe it's on sale next time?) biggrin Do you also claim the weekly free gifts that are available at the Epic Games Store?
I don't know why but I usually feel like new games barely hold my attention anymore – but I still like the games I used to play in the past. :O
That's why I have a bunch of games I gotta play … and what do I do? Play the same old games instead xd.
XDDD good luck paying back those mean players! They deserve some of their own medicine!!
Ohh I think I own the Doki Doki Literature Club game (but I was told it is a really dark game so I have not played it :O) biggrin That Heart Cage visual novel sounds like it's an Otome game in disguise~
I couldn't agree more. It was quite the shock when Gaia took their accounts.
It is crazy that one can end up getting banned on Gaia even without doing something wrong. Apparently one can even get banned when one is on the receiving end of an item or gold that was unknowingly generated by botting or purchased outside of Gaia by a different person.
I think Gaia might be the only one who knows why Pesty Elf and Nid got banned. But I am 100% convinced they did not deserve it.
OMG yes, I remember the animal charity link incident. It was scary. I didn't know we aren't allowed to post outside links either. A lot of people do it. It felt like this warning came completely out of the blue. D:
Oh my biggrin I bet those cakes with dehydrated fruit powder are yummmmmyyyy! In fact I feel like everything you mention sounds really yummy. biggrin So I gotta ask: What's your least favorite dish out there?
Please do make a silly cat and dog deck!! xd That sounds like a deck that will make people smile when they see it.
Have you ever watched those Youtube videos in which they have players play with AI generated magic cards? I remember one card that had the effect that it renamed a players name – and I was laughing myself silly when I saw that happened. rofl
biggrinbiggrin That sounds great. Do relax lots and enjoy all the great games. (and give some payback to those evil players)
I don't really know much about DnD because the closest thing I have to it is that one video game named Baldurs Gate 3 - and I am still at the very beginning. xd .
BUT I enjoy hearing about DnD (WOW a 2 year campaign! biggrin I am impressed!). And I gotta tell you biggrin your BEARnadette character made me giggle. Great pun!
As a barbarian - was she wearing clothes with bear fur parts on it? whee I can't stop thinking that - if you ever turned her in a cute chibi version she would probably be wearing a bear onesie.
Did you ever draw your characters? (biggrin I gotta admit I am super curious how Bearnadette looks like now).
I was told that air brush is great for painting models, but I've never given it a try. I imagine it a bit like spray paint from a can. xd and I'm not doing a great job with that. (usually I only ever use it on empty cans, to upcycle them into flower pots I can use to hand out free plant cuttings/shoots; but I have recently found out that it looks better if I just stick old comic book pages on there, so I guess I will stop with the spray paint soon.)
Ohhh you found something at the steam summer sale? Which games did you buy? biggrin I haven't found anything yet (but I did get myself a used playstation mini on ebay. Maybe that counts too?)
I heard Elden Ring is a really difficult game to play. I'd probably give up within the first 15 minutes xd . It would not be the first game I gave up playing. Have you ever given up on a game?
A steam game I had quite some fun playing is "Don't Starve". Have you ever tried this one? It has a multiplayer mode, so you could play it with your hubby even. biggrin
What's your favorite visual novel?
Awww I know what you mean. I miss the Christmas Extravaganza with our favorite elves in there. I enjoyed talking with them. Always left a smile on my face. I too hope that they are all doing well. heartheart biggrin Way to go @ ultimate cookie recipe.
I believe the cookies I make most are the ones called Vanillekipferl. Have you ever tried them?
(Luckily the curry turned out yummy biggrin thank you). And I had never thought about putting dry banana chips into a spice grinder either eek but it sounds like a really good idea. Maybe the same goes for freeze dried strawberries and raspberries too?
With playing Magic - do you mean MTG? biggrin In case you do, do you sometimes check the secret lair cards? I think they currently have a cat & dog themed set in there.
I don't play MTG - but I can't wait for the release of the Final Fantasy themed MTG cards later this year. biggrin wow it is impressive that the whole avi happened because of 1 item. Great job!
Hope your week is a good one so far for you as well. whee Thank you!
