  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

The post here when you're having a good day thread.

Obviously being on holiday implies one is having a great time.

My friends are allowing me to sit here in the kitchen playing with the iPad they bought me whilst I ignore them completely.

Are your trousers up or down :p

So far my day is going rather well.
 
I took German for GCSE back in 1984-86, but never used the language in any practical way since, but still have my old dictionary and other study aids. I put my rusty German to use this yesterday. I had bought something from a seller in Germany, but when it arrived it was the wrong thing, so I composed a short message in German to him asking if I could return it in exchange for the item I wanted. He wrote back apologising, saying that he has gone ahead and posted the thing I wanted and that I could keep the wrong item.
 
I have been cutting out soda and other junk for the last week or so. Replaced it with fruit and generally been feeling a whole lot better and even though today is our truck day at work I am feeling pretty good.

Although last night I was getting cravings for something bad to snack on and soda, it was making me a bit figgity.
 
Ha! I got my trivia tournament questions answered in a record 24 seconds...and in literature...I got a 10/10 ...been playing for YEARS and the closest I came before was 29 seconds...also literature I believe...

It is a good day now :)
 
So today is going okay. Getting a shitload accomplished.

*knocks on wood*
 
My flat is beginning to look liveable. I spent a pleasurable afternoon wandering around my neighbourhood; there are so many restaurants that I am spoiled for choice. There are also a multitude of shops selling everything under the sun.
 
I replayed Manhunt today to celebrate its 12th anniversary. I'm a semi-retired gamer, but this was a special occassion. I love that game, the amount of violence is just gorgeous!
 
An Environmental Review Tribunal just ruled in our favour and against an international corporation for a project I've been involved with .
Against all odds.

They will most likely get it overturned in Court, but it is only the second time this has happened on over 30 appeals.

So this is a good day. For me and the wildlife and birds.
 
The local shopkeepers are beginning to recognise me. Important as I shall not be talking much French now that I am living alone and not with my work colleagues all the time.

So that was a small added pleasure to the day.

You like pets? I think we should get you a dog. :luv: Maybe a Bernese Mountain Dog? Or a Cane Corso?
 
Having off and one of the albums I am looking forward to this year is being streamed before it is released.

So today, I hear from our lawyers that the arrogant and unpleasant blue chip lawyer for our opposition did not see this coming and is losing his shit...his client really has no way of remedying the technical problems and has run out of time on the clock.

So yes. It is another good day today.
 
I was worried about our truck delivery today considering Black Friday is this week, but it actually wasn't a huge truck and we managed to do the majority of it. So I feel pretty good about that, now only have to get beyond BF and all will be good.
 
My local Kroger affiliate sent me a postcard with coupons for different stuff. One was a $25 coupon for any prescriptions transferred to their pharmacy. I temporarily have two prescriptions and have no particular loyalty to Walgreen's, so I moved them.

When I went in to get the refills, I got the coupon credit, and it turned out to be $25 EACH!!! Woo hooo!

I did a little shopping and just happened to hit the $50 mark, and didn't even plan it. Only had to pay 75 cents at checkout.

Also, they had pork shoulder on sale for $1.29 @ pound, but I wasn't interested since I had cooked some down with green chilies a couple of months ago and had it in the freezer in several containers. OK, so I THOUGHT I wasn't interested. I happened to pass the counter and saw a couple marked down to less than $5 apiece because they expire on Thanksgiving. TWO went into the freezer when I got home.

And, I got three pans of chicken and dressing made before 6:00 a.m., and am waiting for two pies to come out of the oven.

Home Sweet Home.
 
I didn't kill anyone today even though I was tempted.
 
Baked an almond tart today, and the pastry was lightly tanned and crisp, no soggy bottom. Tasted delicious.

I've been asked for a recipe, here are what I weighed (using an electronic scale, tare it to weigh the ingredients into the bowl.)

Note: Pastry case is not baked blind prior to adding the filling.

150g Plain flour
50g margarine (at least 70% fat)
22g Trex (vegetable shortening)
2g salt

Pastry made by rub-in method or cut fat into flour before rubbing in to find crumb stage, then add enough cold water teaspoon by teaspoon mixing until it clumps into larger lumps but not sticky, gather into a dough ball, you can chill this before rollinh and lining an 8 inch pie tin.

WET
100g sugar
130g margarine : Cream these two together and break
1 large egg (approx 75g in shell) into the mix and beat well. Add
2 teaspoons Almond Essence and mix thoroughly in.

DRY
Stir
30g Self Raising Flour well into
150g ground almonds, so that the flour is well distributed.

Put half the dry mix into the wet mix and combine evenly. Repeat with the rest of the wet mix.

In a small bowl put in two heaped tablespoons of smooth strawberry (or any which has no fruit lumps in) jam (not preserve) and heat in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Then spread over the pastry lined pie tin. Put the ground almond mixture over the jam evenly and top with sliced blanched almonds.

Bake in 200'C oven for 15 minutes to help set the pastry, turn down the oven to 160, bake for another 40-45 minutes. If you put a plate over the tart and invert it, you can check on how well cooked the pastry base is. If it's underdone, return the tart into the tin, bake for a little longer.
