How has everyone's week been?

[Heddi]

Mine's been pretty stress free. I just made a coconut cream pie from scratch. I can't wait for it to set. I'll eat it later with leftovers from last night.

1. Pretty good overall,

Went sightseeing in the wilderness which was boring but strangely satisfying.
(this is a joke, there are no wildernesses in England. But I'm sure you know what I mean)

Couple of Jehovah's Witnesses called round yesterday and while Ms Blur was getting rid of them (she's firm but more polite than me) one thrust a leaflet out and said, "But we've got a website!" and I said, "So have I but the difference is that people look at mine", which was satisfying.

(edited to add)
Actually I forgot my big news - my brother married his dog, my best friend married his bicycle and one of our boys has been getting very familiar with his X-Box controller. It's Atheist Paradise round here, which is what happens when you let them read The Guardian and watch Dawkins on TV.

7. There's a reason they have a vibration setting

2. I'm an atheist but ...

I object to the racism implicit in the word "How,"

"Has" is imprecise

If you say "Your" you're excluding yourself unless it is an autocorrect error for "Yaw" implying there has been an event involving such rotation of which I'm unaware

"everyone's" - well, of course, the quality of the week is variable amongst so many

"week" - are you being geocentric?

Of course "been" could mean any week that your audience has experienced.

3. Says you

[onager]

4. I voted for "my father was a minister"

Because it makes me laugh a little every time I see it.

And brings back many happy memories. I was about to list a few. But that would probably get me an alert from the Junior Stasi, who look in here for stuff to be outraged about.

[DavidDvorkin]

12. So did I, because he was.

[AlbertCat]

5. AWFUL!

I learned that the balcony on the beachfront side of my house has NO FLASHING and water has been running down behind the siding since 1996! That's a big mess and quite an expense to correct.

And now the garbage disposal in the kitchen sink is not working and I have a house full of (hungry) guests!

Even tho' I am not homeless and without any food (but live in a beachfront house), mortars and rockets are not raining down on me, and I don't have a fatal incurable disease (that I know of), supply-side Jesus has obviously abandoned me!

Alack! Alack the day!


********** update *******

Now I read in the Science group that tonight the full moon is at it's closest perigee!!!! That means higher tides.... I'm sure to lose even MORE dune!

Why, supply side Jesus...why hast thou forsaken me??????

6. Except for those dreaded hours put in at work,

I have also had a very stress free week. I did absolutely nothing this weekend, and will continue with that. I should have mowed the lawn, and I should have cleaned the house, but screw that.....life is good right now.

Hope you enjoy that pie. I can't imagine making a cream pie from scratch.

[Heddi]

8. It was incredibly easy. I haven't made a custard-based pie since i was a culinarian

http://hollyswhatsfordinner.blogspot.com/2012/03/coconut-cream-pie.html?m=1

it's from America's Test Kitchen, which I generally find success with.

[Curmudgeoness]

9. "A culinarian"

Well, that explains it.

[Heddi]

10. I went to a tech school for 2 years 15 years ago

It really is an easy recipe. I should know--my father was a custard pie. Try it!! It's delicious

[Rainforestgoddess]

18. I object to the culinistas taking over this subthread n/t

[mr blur]

20. I sincerely object to the term "culinista". It upsets me deeply,

and nobody has the right to do that, ever.

[Rainforestgoddess]

21. Can we agree on culinists?

[mr blur]

23. Q.E.D.

[Curmudgeoness]

11. I don't think so.

Well, to be fair, I am not a fan of coconut so this is not tempting. I am also not a fan of any recipe that has more than three ingredients that I don't have in my house, or more than 5-6 ingredients. But I love lemon meringue pie and do wish that I had it in me to bother making one.

I am not a culinarian. My father was a culinarian.*




*Actually, I am lying. There were no culinarians in my household.

[DavidDvorkin]

13. Godly

Bless you for asking.

[Goblinmonger]

14. Incredible

I had a noticeable decrease in the amount of assholes I had to deal with.

[LostOne4Ever]

15. Same old same old

Boring & not eventful. Which is a good thing!

BTW on your first option you misspelled "butt." It has two T's

[trotsky]

16. Pretty good!

It was nice not having to deal with sanctimonious turds, and getting that stink on me. But from the looks of it, there's more to shovel now.

[Jokerman]

17. Great - I got to spend time with a fellow atheist, my sister.

She was in town for a class reunion and stayed with us a couple of days.

We make up the (mostly) mentally stable and rational wing of our family which puts us clearly in the minority.

It's been 30 years since we lived in the same state but we've always kept a lifeline open to each other for a general sanity check when dealing with the rest of the family.

[Rainforestgoddess]

19. Great!

Rainforestgod actually had a week off and we got lots of stuff done. We're small business owners, so time off doesn't happen often.

22. Where's "All of the above"?
