Party kickoff 2016

[wiseheart]

Welcome to my annual (virtual) birthday party! I'll be turning 60 on October 9, which is a round number, meaning, that a whole new decade of my life will start. Imagine that! Where has all the time gone when I was not watching?

In any case, let's have fun! The goal is, as always, to create as many collapsing threads on as many pages as possible. I'll kick up the first few topics, just to start the ball rolling, but basically it's up to you what we'll be talking about. So far, we always had fascinating topics. Photos of cakes and cookies and flowers and kittens and whatever you want to post are also welcome.

Since LJ chose to crash our party 3 years ago, I'll save the whole thing to Dreamwidth on a daily basis. Last time it happened it took us an ungodly amount of effort to recreate the lost comments, and even so, we didn't manage to get everything back.

Again, welcome and let's have fun! God knows we all deserve it. The party closes at midninght on October 9, sharp, as always. Let's use the time we have well! Last year we had almost 900 comments, most of them in various threads of lovely discussions - let's hope we'll going to have at least as much fun and enjoyment again!

And a Hobbit-style birthday gift for Merlin fans: I've finally updated "Magic Mirror"!
Chapter 6 - Leontes in Wonderland has been posted to FF.Net. Enjoy!

They look delicious! Sad that you had to spend your weekend baking them for school - that isn't fair of them!


I haven't been doing any baking at the moment - partly because I'm supposed to be losing weight, and partly because I haven't had the energy.

I hate gingerbread like the plague. I can't even stand the smell of it. So there's no danger that I'd eat of them - but as gifts (especially when you make them voluntarily) they are great.

Of course, when you don't have the energy, it's better to have a recipe when you just throw all ingredients into the kitchen machine, let it do all the work, pour the finished dough into a form and let the oven do the rest. *g*

I really like gingerbread - although I've never made the biscuit type (as opposed to the cake). The decorating sounds very hard - I must admit I fall more into the category of baking where so long as it tastes nice it doesn't matter how messy it is.

That's one very efficient way to deal with it. ;)
