― lxy, Thursday, 22 December 2011 04:24 (twelve years ago) link

lol my mum would never usually spend this much money on lollies + shipping ($55!!!)for me (and never gets me xmas/b'day gifts) but i think she's feeling the pressure to keep up after i told her my mother-in-law gave me an heirloom diamond ring and took me on a shopping spree
― smoove operator, Thursday, 22 December 2011 04:31 (twelve years ago) link

― tehresa, Friday, 23 December 2011 01:05 (twelve years ago) link

It's raining and I just returned from walking to the pet food store in it because Drac and Morrie were being pitiful. Poor starving rotters.

it is raining and we are in forks where there is twilight shit every fucking where.
― lxy, Tuesday, 27 December 2011 02:40 (twelve years ago) link
if forks could read your thought bubbles it would shrivel.
― estela, Tuesday, 27 December 2011 03:32 (twelve years ago) link
i am rly jealous you are in forks. i would live on that coast forever if i could.
― tehresa, Tuesday, 27 December 2011 03:44 (twelve years ago) link
it is so amazing! we saw the world's oldest spruce and the world's biggest cedar today. and a billion life-size cutouts of bella and edward.

sometimes i lost my breath a little remembering how it felt to stand on the beaches near la push.
i think the thing that was lol-est to me in forks was 'twilight dry cleaning'
― tehresa, Tuesday, 27 December 2011 04:00 (twelve years ago) link
forks is a surprisingly depressio-looking town! but yeah everything around is fucking beautiful

Lol I actually remembered howmuch you like white choc from that poll but cadbury white is pretty gross
― smoove operator, Tuesday, 27 December 2011 14:58 (twelve years ago) link
it's mystifyingly terrible, how do they muck it up so badly.
― estela, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 03:39 (twelve years ago) link
ruby, i solemnly promise i will never send you any cadbury white chocolate.
― estela, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 03:42 (twelve years ago) link
bag of pineapple lumps
gimme?
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 03:43 (twelve years ago) link
actually probably not, i'm not even that into candy, but 'pineapple lumps' seem enticing
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 03:46 (twelve years ago) link
xps yeah only whittaker's and nestle do good white choc. kind of feel bad for my mum since she spent so much sending it.
mookie, facebook yr address or ilxmail and i'll send you the pineapple lump bar!!! it will be a delight to your senses
― smoove operator, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 04:16 (twelve years ago) link
the pineapple lumps are great! mookie, if you don't like them i will be sad.
― tehresa, Thursday, 29 December 2011 23:16 (twelve years ago) link
happy 12, my darling sadboxers.
mookieproof, cheers. you've no idea how lucky you are to be the recipient of nz lollies from a nzsb. candy has nearly torn this board apart in the past. we're a bunch of candy gobblers and hoarders so ruby's speed-mailing is quite remarkable.
speaking of hoarding, i still have a box of jaffas and two bags of bullets hidden in my dresser drawer. please don't tell jergins, though.
<3 you all.

i just made a batch of anzac biscuits, but with pecans and chocolate chips! and not really biscuits but instead one HUUUUUUUGE biscuit! i made it especially for my dearest bc he gets home from a horrible work trip tomorrow, but probably i will eat like 75% of it tonight.
― smoove operator, Thursday, 19 January 2012 05:26 (twelve years ago) link
aw ruby, aw ytth, aw anzac non-biscuits! <3 you all!!!
― lxy, Thursday, 19 January 2012 06:06 (twelve years ago) link
<3 ruby, the last time i made oatmeal raisin cookies f. ate 1 and i ate 35.
― estela, Thursday, 19 January 2012 12:06 (twelve years ago) link
anzacs with pecans and chocolate chips sound great! i always think they should have raisins in them, but they are a wartime shortages recipe so they are short on fripperies. also they had to keep for months because they were sent to the soldiers overseas by people who were good at baking things and then not eating them themselves but taking them to the post office and mailing them, fine upstanding anzac women of yesteryear whom i do not take after.
― estela, Thursday, 19 January 2012 12:13 (twelve years ago) link
i don't like the anzac biscuits that you get in australia, they're not as good for some reason. they don't have the edmonds cookbook je ne sais quoi about them.
― estela, Thursday, 19 January 2012 12:15 (twelve years ago) link
maybe the golden syrup here is a bit wrong.
― estela, Thursday, 19 January 2012 12:16 (twelve years ago) link
we loved the anzacs ruby brought us. then we bought a package at grocery outlet and they were bad as cookies go but good as crackers go. i ate them with cheese.
― lxy, Thursday, 19 January 2012 15:30 (twelve years ago) link
store-bought anzacs are so inferior! they have them in nz too.
chocolate and pecans are SO FREAKING GOOD in them! also, i've stopped making them as cookies and now i just press the dough out into a baking pan - so much easier.
i only ate ONE last night, and ONE today, i am such a good thing!!!!!!
― smoove operator, Thursday, 19 January 2012 21:37 (twelve years ago) link
p.s. raisins have no place in anzacs, estela!!!!!!!!!!!!
― smoove operator, Thursday, 19 January 2012 21:38 (twelve years ago) link
lol, i had a feeling you would disapprove.
― estela, Friday, 20 January 2012 06:25 (twelve years ago) link
it's just that i love oatmeal raisin cookies more than any other cookies.
― estela, Friday, 20 January 2012 06:26 (twelve years ago) link
OMG
