Well, I'm trying to figure out which one I want to do this evening. Here are the options.
1) Bake a loaf of my favorite bread. It's made with pumpkin, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chocolate chips, and it's absolutely incredible stuff (I wish I could take credit for making it so good, but all I do is follow a recipe and use a bread machine).
2) Have a hookah -- and if I have a hookah, then I need to decide on a flavor: either peach (which I've had before and is incredible) or rose (which I've never tried and only have as a free sample from George at his online hookah store. I've been meaning to try it out, along with the olive wood coals, so I can do a review on my Yahoo! hookah lovers' group.
Before anyone asks why I don't do both, since obviously not much effort would be involved... one of the big reasons I enjoy both of these things is the way they make the house smell. I'd like to have one smell or the other, not both.
Posted by Zathras at April 13, 2003 04:36 PMEasy solution...choose a hookah flavor that is complimentary to the one of your bread.
If you'd posted this earlier, I'd have said do one in the afternoon, the other in the evening. Otherwise, you could just do one tonight and the other tomorrow night. I'd say go for the bread first in that specific case, because you can eat it tonight/tomorrow before/during/after you use the hookah.
Posted by: Moggy at April 13, 2003 06:17 PMIs there a copy of the recipe somewhere online? I inherited a bread machine when my father passed away recently, and am looking for some bread recipies to use it with. That recipe sounds very good.
Posted by: Matt at April 13, 2003 06:18 PMHi, Matt:
I typed up that bread recipe for a few other folks a couple of months ago, and I'm sure I kept a copy of it in my email archives (I save everything). Once I've done a search and located it, I'll send it to you. Yes, it is very good -- I've gotten a *lot* of compliments on it. Like I said, I wish I could take credit, but I don't really have all that much to do with it.
Denise, your idea on the hookah and the bread is good, but I decided to just go with the pipe. It's awfully hot here today, so I decided I wasn't really up to doing anything in the kitchen, even something requiring so little effort as firing up the bread machine.

Hopefully I'll try to get Mr. Zanthras to add some more to a certain blog rant for publication. No, not the hookah 'un.

Posted by: shawshawshaw at April 14, 2003 04:06 AMWhen you find that bread recipe, do you think you could send me a copy, too? It sounds divine!
Posted by: sparrow at April 14, 2003 04:47 AMSure, Sparrow, I found it last night... I'll send it to you later today. :-)
Posted by: Zathras at April 14, 2003 10:13 AMHell with recipies - send me some BREAD
Posted by: shawshawshaw at April 15, 2003 12:50 AMNOW
Posted by: shawshawshaw at April 15, 2003 12:50 AMI MEAN IT
Posted by: shawshawshaw at April 15, 2003 12:50 AMGIMMIE SOME MILK TOO
Posted by: shawshawshaw at April 15, 2003 12:50 AMYikes! How did I do that?!?!?
Posted by: shawshawshaw at April 15, 2003 12:51 AMCrap. Parrish is gonna *BONK* me for this. Quick - where's the broom and dustpan?
Posted by: shawshawshaw at April 15, 2003 12:54 AM*laughing hysterically*
I see you've found the periodic glitch in Movable Type, Shaw...lol!
Now, what do I get if I kindly remove the umpteen comments before Parrish gets up in the morning? *g*
Posted by: Moggy at April 15, 2003 01:05 AMUm, you get your own column in American Feed Magazine!
Posted by: shawshawshaw at April 15, 2003 01:12 AMAw shit! Not again!
Posted by: shawshawshaw at April 15, 2003 01:13 AMGotta keep my AOL IM off - yea - that way he can't possibly *bonk* me
Posted by: shawshawshaw at April 15, 2003 01:14 AMGot them...man, I didn't know even MT could repeat comments THAT many times (well over 80 when I counted), that was really insane!
Posted by: Moggy at April 15, 2003 01:25 AMYea - but now the whole pun behind this blog comments entry is gone. Now no one's gonna get why I said all those things
Posted by: shawshawshaw at April 15, 2003 01:31 AMThat and Parrish is still gonna try to sneak up on me and *bonk* me anyway. Gotta get someone to protect me
Posted by: shawshawshaw at April 15, 2003 01:32 AMProtecting? From Parrish? Hahahahahaha!
Just start hitting his account with warnings as soon as he signs on and don't stop until he can't IM anyone at all. *snicker*
Posted by: Moggy at April 15, 2003 01:42 AM!!! I have Trillian! I can actually do that unlimited amount of times! Heh heh heh - hope he's got da teflon vest on 2morrow...
Posted by: shawshawshaw at April 15, 2003 01:52 AMLOL... Cool, I use Trillian too, but I didn't realize we could nuke people's accounts with it! If you drive Parrish up the wall with it, make sure to send me a copy of the chatlog.
Of course, with Parrish's weak IM client, just about anything makes it go berzerk. We should get into a chatroom with him sometime (assuming his client can handle it!) and see what kind of havoc we can wreak. *snicker*
Posted by: Moggy at April 15, 2003 01:53 PMYou guys are so naughty.
Poor Parrish.
And the funny thing is, they're both wondering why I'm upset.
Posted by: Zathras at April 16, 2003 08:54 AMI would be upset, but then I've also been told all my life that I'm oversensitive so I never really know when it's right to be upset and when I should pretend I'm not upset.
I figured you liked being teased or else they wouldn't do it to you so much. I don't think they're being mean, just joking, but I can definitely understand why you'd be upset.
