Oh no. If I make these I will get extra fat because I won’t stop making them.
HaveYourselfAMerryLi'lCharles Author Icon - Nope, because of the mushrooms and cheese, respective the hi-fat + protein in them they'll sate you in no time. Like nuts, you can't overeat. Cheese locks the stomach as a German saying goes. So no bad conscience. THAT makes fat, not so much the food itself.
Hallo, everyone! I have finished another Yum in "STILL NEW YORK-HUNGRY" Open in new Window..*Delight*


I was most surprised about how yummy the veg ragù bolognese tasted. It doesn't always need to be meat.*Think*


Anyway, before you flog me for allegedly flogging meat*Shock2* , here's "39. Lynne's Mushroom Delights (2 in 1 not-so-much-carbs)" Open in new Window..


Have a nice afternoon / evening, everybody.*BigSmile*

Looks delicious. Especially that mushroom bolognese. *Hungry*
Hi, guys. Hope everyone's having a great day*Cool*... and if not?*Cry*


Well, here some mood booster / "cure" from "STILL NEW YORK-HUNGRY" Open in new Window.: "38. Snickerdoodle Loaf (pre-Christmas carbs)" Open in new Window..


Sure not yet the season; but hey, who's nit-picking? (Hint: not even this German, and we invented it!*Wink*)


Have a great day, everyone.*Sun*
Hi, guys!


Here another update of "STILL NEW YORK-HUNGRY" Open in new Window.: "37. Nonno Aurelio's Castagnaccio (Hearty Fall carbs)" Open in new Window.


I must admit that this turned out way different than I thought when reading the recipe; to a great part also my own fault as I messed with the ingredients, even more on purpose (thought I could make it better). *Shock2*


But only because it was not my cup of tea must not mean it might not be yours. *Idea*


Tastes differ... you can't love everything.*Idea* I'll try it once more, and will update this then.


Anyway, have a nice evening, guys, and a great rest-weekend.*Heart*
Only when it's dark enough, you can see the stars.


Amen.*Pray*

🎄pwheeler joy to the world Author Icon - That's what Kamala said at her after-election statement. I hope America remembers that in the next four years.
"Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.” ― Martin Luther King, Jr. is the original source, I believe, and Goodreads and Google agree.
🎄pwheeler joy to the world Author Icon - MLK was a very smart man, me thinks.*Heart* Thanks for letting me know the source.*Hug1**Smile**Hug2*
Holy Flying PEEP!

Just watching the Evening News. The bloody German government just blew up!*Shock2*

Chancellor Scholz fired liberal finance minister Christian Lindner because he repeatedly blocked "Ampel (traffic light) coalition – greens, liberals (yellow) and social democrats (reds) – important decisions concerning mainly economy.

That's... new.

And Germans are allergic to that kind of "change". *Sick*

Finally, political news about a country other than the US... Thanks *HeartT*
Amethyst Snow Angel Author Icon - I'll consider it a compliment.*Confused* Warm-up for what "someone else" will unleash on us. *Sick*

I'm proud to say I've made pizza! Thin crust. Fresh.
Elfycia Lee ☮ Author Icon - YES! *fistbump*

Just shoved a "38. Pumpkin Pizza (UPDATED + healthy-carbed!)" Open in new Window. in to the oven. Rosemary added the first time. Let's see if it tastes. Roughly chopped it so the etheric oil comes out.
Not sure if I'm misunderstanding your previous note, Grincherella sees candle light Author Icon. Are you currently facing a hurricane? *Shock2* In Germany? *Shock2* Kirk came over for a visit?

Anyway, I came here to tell you that you are on the timer for "October Novel Prep Challenge" Open in new Window..

But you know what? If you are facing the hurricane, real life comes first. Forget the timer.

(I still should put it up)

Time left Till Elimination
[Refresh to load countdown.]
Yes, you understood right, Ms. Elfycia Lee ☮ Author IconMail Icon. *Shock*

There have been quite some former hurricanes hitting Europe through the last decades, but they were weaker because the water in the North Atlantic is colder, and so sucking the energy out of the hurricane. *Idea*

Kirk was stronger than them because this year the Northern Atlantic was exceptionally warm and it didn't weaken like "usual".

It was pissing cats and dogs, there were gale-force winds which made it hard to keep my car on lane*Shock*, and at my friends' place which I driving home from, even several trees were knocked over by the gales.*Shock2*

No one got hurt though!*Pray*
Lilith 🎄 Christmas Cheer Author IconMail Icon, HaveYourselfAMerryLi'lCharles Author IconMail Icon, and all Floridians.

Milton‘s so nasty it even made it to German news.😱 We‘ll get a taste of hurricane here too as Kirk will hit us during the day.*Shock*

So let‘s run, duck away and *Pray*.

Thinking of you. Stay safe, guys.*Hug1**Smile**Hug2*

You stay safe too. I imagine you are not accustomed to such heavy rains there. *Pray* *Heartp* *Coffeep* Keep that coffee brewing!
Stay safe, prayers coming for safety of all Floridians in the area!
Lilith 🎄 Christmas Cheer Author Icon - It’s already pissing down cats and dogs now, and the worst is yet to come this night and tomorrow. You‘re right, It’s pretty… unique. *Shock* Coffee‘s ready, and I know what to do if the fuses blow up again because the Outdoor sockets get wet. *ThumbsUpGreen*
Peeps!*Shock2*


You won't guess it, but...
