So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation




Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

These sound like something Diefenbaker would love, so I will use my Diefenbaker icon. (Do you watch/have you watch Due South?)

What really prompted me to reply to this, was to ask if you make your own puff pastry. I tried it once -- a very long time ago -- and it took me ages and turned out rubbish. At the time, I don't think I could have bought puff pastry in our grocery shop (this was when I was a kid, living with my parents on a farm in very rural Sweden). Here in the UK, I find that most grocery largish grocery shops will sell you ready made, and rolled out, puff pastry, often of a few different varieties (frozend, chilled, 'light'). For awhile I made spinnach and chickpea rolls, using puff pastry, for my lunches which I really enjoyed. I should have a go at making them again, when things quieten down at work...

I tried it once - never again! As you said, it takes ages and turns out rubbish. My Granny used to make it, apparently, but I have no clear memories of it, so she couldn't have done so in the last, oh, fifty years. And I can't ask her any longer... So no, I simply bought the ready made. chilled puff pasty in the next best Auchan. Don't like the chilled one, it never gets rolled out properly.

I have vague memories having watched Due South, but basically just because of the red uniform. I read some random fanfic later, but nothing I would really liked (it was mostly blatant pr0n, and I didn't know the original enough to be interested).

Drooling... when is that next flight to Budapest?
