Thank you very much! ^^

Happy Fourth DA Anniversary!

Oh, the "Same old, same old."


I noticed that you aren't popping in here as frequently as you used to and was just wondering if you're okay~!

Hi, I'm fine you? ^^

Hi! How are you doing?

Happy New Year! And I only disappeared over the holidays...I had quite a bit going on. ^^

OMG! You came back here! Happy New Year~!

LOL! I've never heard of that joke before!


It doesn't snow very often where I live but I do get snow. It usually turns into a dirty mess out on the streets fairly quickly due to the traffic outside but enough remains to just barely cover the rest of the area in a Winter wonderland.


Yes, real butter shortbread cookies can be addictive just as can a good chocolate chip cookie like the Famous Amos ones that are also loaded with Macadamia nut pieces. His cookies are known World-wide (They have them where you are right?) and Wally Amos even shares a few of his recipes from time to time for anyone to try to make, so that his delicious cookies can be made available to anyone even if they cannot afford to buy a retail package but can afford to buy the ingredients (And have the time) to make a batch. The recipe for his chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies is at -> http://www.midweek.com/wally-amos-ch...a-nut-cookies/. Wally Amos can be considered a cookie artist who cares more about sharing the art (Taste?) of his cookies to the World than about making money. I guess you can say that he makes "Cookies for the sake of cookies"? LOL!

Oh no I forgive it don't worry! We mostly joke that often when we get home our houses are actually colder than the outside. xD

We do have heating, it just...takes a while to warm up after the cold shock. I think it's because during this time of year we get quite a bit of ice and frost even if we don't get snow. TwT

I love shortbreads and to be fair they can be a bit addictive. Thankfully I don't eat them nearly enough to cause any issues...it's a nice snack though when I have some around. x3

Huh? Are you saying that all British houses are difficult to heat like the large, dank stone castles that existed in Medieval times? LOL! Forgive the stupid American joke. How do the people there stay warm during the Winter, if not for the available home heating options? Is a heavier diet and more physical activity keys to keeping warm? I have a cousin who occasionally visits Scotland on business for his company. He once brought back a fine tin of heavy Scottish Shortbread made by Morrisons Supermarkets PLC, Gain Lane, Bradford, 803 7DL (Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that Morrisons is one of the more "Higher end"/expensive supermarket chains, much like Wegmans here in the U.S. - As I understand it, both chains sell fine wine. When I visited the Wegmans near my sister's house in New Jersey, I was surprised to see that the supermarket had a complimentary small child care facility for its customers' small children! - There are no Wegmans where I live though, as no one in my neighborhood could afford to shop there). The Morrisons Shortbreads were heavy on the real butter and a delicious guilty pleasure at 70g of fat per portion (One biscuit/cookie - No vegetable shortening was used, unlike in the cheaper Scottish brands or most of the mass marketed "Butter flavored" cookies sold here in the U.S. which would probably be considered as "Rubbish" by folks over where you are. For example, if you look at the ingredients list in a Voortman's "Shortbread" cookie made here in the U.S., you'll see that there is actually no butter! -> https://voortman.com/product/shortbread-cookie/. Although, there is only 4.5g of fat in one of those cookies compared to the 70g of fat in one Morrison's [real butter] Shortbread!). I found myself eating three of the Morrison's Shortbreads at a time with 1% milk or coffee. The shortbread is now long gone but I still have the tin box to use for storing whatever needs to be stored. If I regularly ate snacks like that everyday, I'd probably need to jog around an extra mile to work off the excess pounds I'd gain or have my high blood pressure medication dosage increased!
