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!

I don't know you but someone (http://glitterboy1.livejournal.com/) told me to come over and say happy birthday, so: Happy birthday! :-)

Over 700! Can we make it on to page 6?

Merlin (episode 5) was very good tonight. Especially the acting. Colin Morgan's facial expressions are brilliant!

I agree with you...I miss some of my fandom friends very much, even as I acknowledge that life goes on, things change, and I'm not writing fanfiction right now.

How is Elrond doing? He is sorely grieved at the workings of Sauron around the Hobbit movie.

Amazing! We're nearly onto another page!

Oh my! This is a loooooot of comments. :-)

I hope you've enjoyed your birthday (suspect you're out celebrating at your fav restaurant tonight).

What was the theory about first level threads or whatever you called them - 25? If so, we just might be lucky....

[Edit]YAY!!!!! *g*

Welcome back. Have some more pie. Or some Ischler biscuits. And thanks for the new guests you've brought. This is the best party, ever!

[identity profile] wiseheart.livejournal.com 2010-10-09 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, and welcome to the party! :)

[identity profile] wiseheart.livejournal.com 2010-10-09 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Awww, thanks! *blushes*

The funny thing is, I met him at the very first such party, courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] altariel. You can meet the most interesting people this way.

And it's fairly easy to make, too! Welcome to the party. :)

He's brought the most wonderful party guests today. Your icon is gorgeous. Where's it from?

[identity profile] wiseheart.livejournal.com 2010-10-09 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks for coming! And for the fireworks. :)

I met the same someone exactly the same way, oh, four or so years ago. This is a reat way to find new friends.

[identity profile] wiseheart.livejournal.com 2010-10-09 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, Maia. Long time not seen. How are you doing?

[identity profile] wiseheart.livejournal.com 2010-10-09 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, and welcome! :)

He's absolutely great. And gorgeous. And you just enjoy tormenting me, don't you.

Forgot to record the very first Lancelot ep. today. The converted kids are gonna lynch me next week - or they'll watch it in English. *g*

I don't actually *have* a fav restaurant, to tell the truth. We celebrated at home. Ate lots of yummy cakes, answered a few congratulatory phone calls, finally taped up some fanfic fragments, updated "Sparrows" - fun things, all in all.

[identity profile] wiseheart.livejournal.com 2010-10-09 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Incredible, isn't it? This is waaay beyond the wildest dreams. Will be hard to beat it next year...

[identity profile] wiseheart.livejournal.com 2010-10-09 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! We absolutely broke every record!

Happy Happy Happy Birthday!!!

It's a mosaic of St Cybi, fromthe Celtic Bridge in Caergybi (Holyhead). Here is St Seiriol

Awww, they're both gorgeous. I'm very fond of obscure saints... no offence intended. Being a former nun, I do know a lot of saints, but no Celtic ones. ;)

Thank you! Welcome to the party. :)

It's always the first downward step that's the hardest. Afterwards, the act develops a life of its own. ;)

Lots of Arthurian stuff still, eh?
