If you’re like me, you are probably thinking “Who put that there?” and “is it going to explode?”

The answer to the second question is, “Of course it will”. Which is why it doesn’t matter what the first answer is, that’s a matter for the police.

But if you’re not like me – and I urge you not to be – then you are probably excited that the FINALE of LJ IDOL EXHIBIT B is taking place right now! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/698394.html

You may have even read the goodbye to the 3rd place finisher: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/698199.html

Or maybe like [livejournal.com profile] agirlnamedluna, [livejournal.com profile] cheshire23 and
[livejournal.com profile] oxymoron67

you are busy trying to put together your list of what you would like from the Community Chest. I know I would be! There’s some good stuff in there!

Heck, maybe you are out shopping for my Birthday! In which case, don’t let me keep you…

:D Hey you! Good to see your username in these parts again. Enjoy your shadow time!

Wow, the GR has been up for nearly and hour and I'm still SECOND?

*crickets*

I guess Gary is going to be getting a HUGE GIFT BONANZA for his birthday - everyone must be out shopping!

I made a double batch of yummy Russian Tea Cookies last night, courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] michikatinski's recipe. My BFF is having a tea party sleepover for her birthday tomorrow night, so I baked enough cookies to bring about 3 dozen to her party, and another 2 dozen in to share with my co-workers. Everyone has been raving about them! *\o/*

RUSSIAN TEA COOKIES??? Those sound magical...

From: [identity profile] roina-arwen.livejournal.com
They are yummy, crumbly, buttery cookies with walnuts in them. You'll have to ask [livejournal.com profile] michikatinski for the recipe if you want it - I'm sworn to secrecy! ;)

Thank you, sir! :)

That sounds yummy. I'm allergic to walnuts though. :(

I'll bet you could make them with pecans!

You can.

Those are my favorite cookies. :)

How about almonds? I'm not allergic to almonds.

Date: 2013-09-27 03:43 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] roina-arwen.livejournal.com
Probably. I've never tried making them with any other nuts (not even my husband)!

Date: 2013-09-27 03:19 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] michikatinski.livejournal.com
Hmmmm.

Chopped almonds? I don't know if I've ever seen chopped almonds, actually.

I suppose you could do almond slivers. It would make the cookies taste a little more like halvah, I suppose. Which I love. :-D

Date: 2013-09-30 02:35 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] favoritebean.livejournal.com
Halvah is always yummy. :)

Say, mind if I friend you? I meant to ask several weeks ago.

I don't mind at all. :) <3

Pecans make them quite a bit like Pecan Sandies, which I also love. :-D

From: [identity profile] michikatinski.livejournal.com
Thank you for abiding by the secrecy, my friend. :-D As I was telling another LJer before, there are many good recipes for Russian Tea Cookies on allrecipes.com for those who want to try their hand at them. If anyone wants my cookies, my public LJ shows a way to get some. Just sayin. ;)

From: [identity profile] roina-arwen.livejournal.com
You're welcome! Everyone at work loved them, just so you know. :) I'm taking the rest of the batch to [livejournal.com profile] minikin's tonight, for her birthday / tea party / slumber party, as well as a batch of jam-filled thumbprint cookies that I made last night. Yumm!

birthday/tea/slumber party? You do the coolest things. :-D

From: [identity profile] roina-arwen.livejournal.com
Well, it was her birthday on Wednesday (the 25th), and we went out for dinner that night and exchanged gifts, but she wanted to do a tea party with a larger amount of attendees tonight (Friday), complete with finger sandwiches, cookies, a variety of teas, scones and clotted cream, etc. There will also be games, movies, and a sleepover involved, as she has a large house with many bedrooms.

I have cool friends and I'm lucky I get to do cool things with them!

I actually went and looked at your gift list - is your shipping address correct in Amazon? I know you moved recently...

You've got stuff on your list that has been there since 2004!

Date: 2013-09-27 04:14 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] roina-arwen.livejournal.com
My email from Amazon says it should arrive by 9-30-13 (not 10-1 as previously stated, although one never knows). Gotta love Amazon Prime's free 2-day shipping option!!

Date: 2013-09-27 03:16 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] michikatinski.livejournal.com
LOL. I have stuff going back to 2003--stuff I still want! :-D Of course, my giftlist is hidden from public view, and I'm too cheap to buy anything from it, so... Heh.

Also, why does the GR time stamp say 3:00 PM? We are in the same time zone, Gary, and it is currently only noon here!

From: [identity profile] favoritebean.livejournal.com
For some reason, LJ always posts time stamps as UTC for me. That is regardless of what account I use, or the fact I prefer PDT. So maybe it was 3 over across the pond?

Date: 2013-09-26 11:57 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kathrynrose.livejournal.com
I'm pretty sure I've seen that as a preference somewhere. (Don't ask me where. Whenever I'm trying to change something like that I'm always blindly clicking wherever until I find it.)

From: [identity profile] lrig-rorrim.livejournal.com
Nope, I'm thinking "arglewargleblargle" basically. Because of reasons.

Also, preemptive happy birthday wishes!

Wow, I've been in no-internet land (otherwise known as my grandmother's house) since the end of July, and here I was thinking surely the season had already ended in my absence. Sadly, I will still miss the final two entries, because I'm still in moving limbo and will not have time for another wifi field trip this week.

Good luck to [livejournal.com profile] lrig_rorrim and [livejournal.com profile] the_lettersea just the same, and congrats to everyone who came close.

I've missed you. Even Gary ;) (Happy Birthday! :D). ♥

There is awesome stuff in the Community Chest, but I do not need any of those things, and you do not need the headache of trying to ship them to me. I'll pass my good luck on to the next person. :)

Happy birthday, Gary!

Our house has some sort of cold that won't go away. Or maybe worse, since the doc gave me antibiotics.
