So I use corn syrup in my butter tarts, similar to pecan pie, and the cookies I made this weekend called for corn syrup too. I always feel guilty using it but really we all probably grew up with it in everything and we turned out ok1

Morning all!! Agreed that corn syrup is the devil, but I'm still alive sooooo *shrugs*. Something's going to kill me, might as well be that.
@AliNouveau that filter looks super cute, love the pic!!!
@forestfreek I can only eat Kale in a casserole and broccoli with cheeese, so not sure I'm getting the true benefits of either one

Fun fact I actually had red hair for high school graduation haha. Decided this was something I wanted to do....haven't since
Ugh kale. It's so popular these days I just can't get into it. Broccoli I love, Brussel sprouts too but kale.... nope1 -
Good morning, guys.5

Pecan Pie is an art. You mess anything up and it turns into a watery mess, soggy crust. I've tried and tried and tried.1

Yellow sugar. I guess it really is yellow though
Btw that looks like an awesome book I love old ones like that. My mom has a Mennonite one from her mom, it has instructions for food for a barn raising. I love flipping through it2 -
BTW, pecan pie is more of an American thing but I've definitely had it. Sooo so good. I found a Reddit group this morning called old_recipes. Sometimes the oldies are the best.2

Good morning middle-agers.. well past hump day for me and on the slide in to the weekend.
Anyone doing anything fun?

Hi, I'm Jason. I turn 54 2 weeks from now. Yay, Team Scorpio. I'm more in maintenance mode though I could stand to lose about 5-10 more pounds and gain a bit more muscle. Please feel free to add me.3

Sometimes brown sugar here is called golden brown so I guess it's light brown sugar.
That's neat about your ancestors. Always fun to find something like that out1 -
Turned 40 in August!1

Now there's a familiar face.. hi Jason0 -
Just turned 40 last weekend had a blast with family back home. I hope everyone has a great week2

Love the old cookbook! I did think pecan pie was invented to sell Karo syrup but interesting to find they just made it popular in the 1930s. And yes, I did fall into a Google hole about pecan pie.
Is yellow sugar unbleached, unrefined sugar?
Roll on Thanksgiving...
Feeling my age today (and then some) as I slipped and fell this morning and think I may have bruised everything. I twisted my ankle a bit yesterday and think it just made it a bit easier for a full fall on my *kitten* today.
Anyway hope everyone has a lovely Thursday.

I did not fall on my kitten for the record.
One, she is hardly a kitten anymore, no matter what she tells people and two, it probably would have been the end of her if I had!2 -

Hahaha your poor kitty!
Hope you're ok though, sounds painful!
Absolutely rotten day here today, rain lashing on the window, heater's on. Doubt very much I'll get my walk in today. But I got myself a good old aerobic step this week so I can always put my leotard on and do a YouTube step class later on.
But first I'm trying to make myself start on this bugger of a tender, that's been sitting in my inbox for way too long already - uuuurgh!
I'm laughing at the mess I caused with my comment on the corn syrup! I don't know it at all, except from the horror movies like "the truth about sugar".0 -
@FutureFit2020 hope you're ok. Last time I slipped in my kitchen I majorly sprained my ankle. Hope you faired better
@LunaTheFatCat I love the leotard image, I hope you add legwarmers. I'm a huge fan of legwarmers
We just have a grey day ahead. Apparently snow could be on its way in the very near future1 -
Anyone else ever feel like they are ready to go on strike??? I swear that my kids and husband can manage to not see or hear ANYTHING. Garbages overflowing, wrappers laying around, dishwasher that needs emptying etc. I got up this morning, walked upstairs and just seriously wanted to walk right out of the house and check myself into a hotel for a few days.
This Covid thing is just so hard sometimes. Working from home, kids schooling at home, I get jealous of my husband for getting to leave to go to work. I love my kids/puppies so much, but OH MY GOD. Just a few hours break would be nice.
Sorry to vent/whine. It was just a rough morning. But I'm drinking my snarky tea "Calm the F*** down" and zen will take over...soon I hope!!!5
