Party time ahead!

Well, yes, dear folks, it's this time of the year again. The big, one-week virtual party from today to the 9th of October starts here. Come on in, be welcome, make yourself comfortable, and post a comment. May we have many collapsed threads again!

Last year we had 559 comments on 4 pages, which is an impressive record to break. But I have an excellent apple pie in the oven, and offer a virtual slice to every party guest.

Let's party!

Addition: someone asked for the apple pie recipe. Here it is, behind the cut.


400 gr wheat flour
200 gr butter or margarine
200 gr sugar
1/10 litre sour cream
1 pinch of salt
ground peel of 1/lemon
2 gr baking soda

For the filling:
2 kg apples
sugar,cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla and ground lemon peel as you like

One eggyolk for painting the top.

How to make it?
1) Make a dough from abovementioned ingredients.
2) Cut it in two equal pieces. Roll out one piece, lay it into a baking tin (baking paper under it is helpful).
3) Spread some dried bread crubms all over it.
4) Peel and plane (slice???) the apples, press out the juice with your hands (it shouldn't be too dry, though) and mix them with the spices.
5) Spread the apples over the dough.
6) Roll out the other half of the dough. Cover the apples with it.
7) Paint the top with eggyolk and bake it in a pre-heated oven, on 200°C for twenty minutes.
8) Cut it when it's cooled down.

Sorry, but I had to use the metric system. My brain doesn't work in cups and pounds and that stuff. I hope you can still figure out how much you need from the ingredients.



Addition: I also wish to gift upon my dear party guests a birthday-present, Hobbit-style: Chapter 03 - Puer Natus Est Nobis of my Cadfael fic "Sparrows" has just been posted to [livejournal.com profile] hiddenrealms and to FF.Net. Enjoy!

And the end results are: 735 comments on 6 pages! It's more than I could have dreamed of, and I thank you - all of you - who contributed to this record. It will be a hard one to break next year indeed, but I hope you'll be back. :)

Thanks again, I had a fantastic time and met great new people - it was fun!

Yep, I loved the series until Vecchio got replaced. I fear I lost interest after that. But Diefenbaker is one of my favorites in the whole series, especially for the fact that he is supposed to be deaf - but seems to have excellent hearing (or other compensation skills) if there is anything in it for him.

I actually quite liked the Vecchio replacement, and I thought the way they did it was quite good and original. Have you seen the final episode? I really liked how they tied the series up...

Cadbury Roses? Green & Black's makes mini's now? I swoon...

Me, too, please?
[takes a generous piece and consumes]
Mmmmmmm.....

I haven't actually opened the bag of Roses yet, J brought that much chocolate. Needless to say he is very welcome any time! ;-) And yes, Green & Black's do a 12 mini bar collection. Very nice indeed!

I'm on my second glass of wine in RL, and it's time for a toast because...

IT'S JASTAELF'S BIRTHDAY!!!

So, happy birthday to a dear friend discovered only because Wiseheart -- also a dear friend -- invited me into Edhellond.

Happy birthday to Jastaelf!
And a very special "Köszönöm!!!" to the founder of our feast: Wiseheart! (After all, if Wiseheart hadn't invited me into Edhellond, I would not have met Jastaelf, and then who would have married The Beloved and me?)

I imagine he and Sheldon would get along quite well, both being dedicated scientists. And I think the green being on the inside is in keeping with the chocolate connection. After all, the chocolate isn't literally green. :-)

Feel free to steal my Federation icon. I've snatched it from somewhere myself - don't even know where from.

I agree with everything you wrote about "Enterprise". I think the only loveable character was Archer's dog, and I hate dogs with a passion, as a rule.

Actually, the canon rape already started with "Voyager", where Bermaga made the Borg to ridiculous wimps and allowed Janeway to say things like both Kirk and Sulu would be thrown out of Starfleet in their oh-so-advanced days. *grinds teeth*

Strangely enough, I hated the latest Star Trek film a lot less than I'd expected to do. Sure, I didn't actually like it, it was a lame plot with lots of canon rape, but at least some of the actors were great. Zachary Quinto for example.

On the same principle, though, I've adamantly refused to give the "reimagined" BSG a rat's chance. That was the worst slap into the face of old fans of a series, ever!

That, Captain, is a logical assumption - quite surprising, coming from a human. Congratulations. *g*

[identity profile] wiseheart.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
Why, certainly. Here, have some more!

Do you want me to add the recipe to the original entry?

Nothing can beat proper scientific study. ;)

Welcome to the party! *offers virtual slice of apple-pie*

A wolf with a selective hearing? Or not-hearing, as the case might be? What's there *not* ti love?

It's interesting how these animal characters in TV-series are always a lot smarter than their human masters, though. Is it because they're so intelligent or because the human characters are so dumb?

Are you familiar with the Austrian/German series "Kommissar Rex"? That's an excellent proof for the above theory.

You see? Even I can be useful from time to time. So, where's the (other) birthday girl anyway?

Yum!!! :-)

Funny thing is, I love apple pie, but cant stand the sound of apples being peeled - the sound makes my teeth ache and gives me goosebumps - so in spite of the many old apple trees in our garden, we never have apple pie.

*puts down boxes of cookies, scones and bars of chocolate* I also brought along some candles, mind if I light them? *smiles*

Well well well and it's that time of year again! Hurrah!

*offers champagne and whatever teetotallers would enjoy*

Ooh, apple pie! *dives in*

Woot! *party popper* First poster!

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
I brought some champagne along. Can nip home and rootle around in the cellar if you'd like some red.

Green and Black much better for a party than Drazi Green and Purple.

I'm scattering comments about this page to find out. Purely in the advancement of science, you understand.

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
I'm banking on this being the fiftieth comment...
