Yep, since hubby doesn't like hot weather that's the only way I can get my Florida sunshine.

Geesh.... stayhere is a real stick in the mud! What did we do to deserve that crap? I agree that we can post where ever we want to post!

Too bad some of you who post on the other forum don't stay here, especially one who was recently kicked off the other forum. I've figured out *all* the posters here, even with your new little names.

So what if you figured out our names! It wasn't any big secret. I guess you must live by the saying "life's too short to be happy."

BEEATCH?
How Rude!
I wasn't being ugly when I posted "Chit Chat Here" because people are free to say what they want without being censored.
People are having more fun, but the same people get ugly here to someone they don't THINK they know.
I thought it was fun figuring out your names.
What is wrong with you people?

That whole "i've figured out who you posters are..." sounds like the old lady on Wizard of Oz saying, "I'll get you & your little dog too". Who cares who everyone is?? I have different screen names for other forums, just like this one. It's all good, okay??

[coosa]

If anyone was rude, it was you who was rude first. We post where we want toa and for the most part, we are just trying to have fun.
Let's just start over, stayhere. I am welcoming you and I hope we can all just have fun. You know who we are, so tell us, who are you??

OK you Florida people I need me one of those short plastic things that you push into a orange and squeeze it and you can get the juice out, like a straw.

If you can't find 'em locally, try this website:

Got me one on the way from a Florida from a friend.
I will call it my "cordless juicer"

Stayhere we were nice to you, then you started in on Coosa and that's who your posted was directed at. IF you play nice then we play nice, but don't come to our sandbox kicking dirt on our friends. You know your post wasn't nice, I don't have to see your face or hear your tone to figure it out. As for her being kicked off, well they seem to be wanting her back.

So pretty is as pretty does.

Welcome and join in.

[queenbee]

True, but to come back and try to defend a post like that and make it look innocent.

Stayhere must think we are as dumb as they look.

hahahahahah

[coosa]

I like that, pretty is as pretty does. Stayhere, let's just all be friends, ok??

Caramel Apple Cake

Make up a giant version of a classic sweet treat. Shaped like a country-fair caramel apple, this fun dessert recipe is sure to inspire oohing and ahhing at any fall gathering. RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsps cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp allspice
2 tsps baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tsps vanilla extract
60 caramel candies
3/4 cup walnuts, toasted and finely chopped
wax paper
1 large craft stick
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Grease and flour two 1 1/2-quart oven-safe bowls.

3. Combine 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, 2 teaspoons baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt.

4. In a separate bowl, beat together 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, 2 cups unsweetened applesauce, 1 cup vegetable oil and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and beat until well mixed.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared bowls and bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Allow the cakes to cool in the bowls for 10 minutes, then remove them from the bowls and set them inverted on wire racks to cool completely. Once the cakes have cooled, turn them over and use a long knife to even out their flat tops.

7. Topping: Place 60 caramel candies and 2 tablespoons of water in a medium bowl and microwave on high power for 1 minute. Stir, then heat 30 to 45 seconds more until the mixture is smooth and forms a slow, thick ribbon when dropped from a spoon.

8. Layer the cakes (flat sides together) using a few spoonfuls of the caramel to help hold them in place.

9. Pour the remaining sauce over the cake. The caramel will run down the sides of the cake to cover it completely, or you can spread it with a knife while it's still warm.

10. Let the caramel set for about 20 minutes before pressing the walnuts onto the bottom half of the cake.

11. Cover one half of the craft stick with waxed paper and insert the covered end into the top of the cake.

Maybe it's just this computer I'm on. Something very strange is going on!! I think I need to "refresh".
Queen, that cake looks delish. Are you making that for the Christmas party?!
