Whisked cooled all-purpose cream like crazy ; spooned condensed milk in, whisked ; tasted ; spooned more condensed milk, whisked ; repeated until it tasted ok to me Laid chocolate grahams in tupperware ; spooned black coffee over them so they're just wet, not soaked {used strong coffee: a little more than a teaspoon of instant in half a cup of hot water} Spooned a thick layer of the sweetened, puffy cream on wet grahams ; laid more grahams over that ; spooned coffee over that ; repeated until i used all the cream Sprinkled crushed + crumbled grahams on top ; put the lid on ; left it in the fridge to set and chill After dinner... 35 minutes later... voila! Mmm.... layers. I'm thinking two more dinners till we wipe this out. NEXT TIME ~ Make grahams layers thicker, one over another should work, the coffee should make them stick ; more crumbled grahams on top for crunch

stream-of-thought not patient but tolerance must be observed. how heavy something is depends on how long you hold it. curiosity can get tiring from a child, what more from an adult? it's not a contest, don't try so hard to win. sometimes a hint isn't enough. lying or ignorance works but then you feel like an ass for letting the meanness take over, it slips in and out. practice what you preach. you can't make someone want to change by yelling. reasonably explaining what was wrong is more effective than your barking. barking = in one ear, out the other = it's loud nonsense. you don't even feel better after, bully. decisions are stupid, not people; everyone has a breaking point. i forget who said that by judging a fish by how well it climbs a tree, the fish will forever think it's stupid. but you are acting stupid for judging. everyone can only take abuse for so long. labeling people is demeaning and ignorant. many tv shows on a downward spiral on ethics and

Mangoes are in season! Or are they in season all year-round? My left elbow hurts. Put my weight on it yesterday and it might have pinched a nerve. I'm in a fun, silly mood; started learning the words to BNL's "One Week". Watching prices on Amazon. Missed the chance to get a rollator at $70. It's now priced at $90. When that drops again, I'll grab it. Won't be sent here though, will be delivered to a US address {super saver shipping, woohoo!}.

a mobile PA did the rounds with a blow-horn this afternoon. the neighborhood will have no electricity from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow. if midday tomorrow will be anything like today, we'll prepare to sweat. it's starting to get humid at noon, but it's not so bad that i'll think summer has come too early. we're seeing ants in the usual places though - near the sink, the bed. i don't know how they get in my bed. they're red and they bite. took us two days to polish off a conti's cake. it was mango-something (bravo?). super nice people brought us sweet dessert, too bad it was a quick visit. can't wait till we see them again.
