Oh god the pages and pages. You people are crazy. Then again, it says a bit about me because "I have to read them all" :angelface:

--- Quote from: Thrudd on 02 Oct 2014, 12:21 ---Here is an even simpler solution: Marten called to invite Claire out for breakfast pancakes with the idea of talking to Claire about things over breakfast.
Claire's mother insisted he come over and he, not wanting to make a fuss, goes with the flow.
That is very Marten.

Called a ground line? Nah, he'd have Claire's cell

Alternate scenario: Claire left her cell phone out, Clairemom saw an incoming call and, knowing she works with Marten, figured it might've been important, and picked up. Conversation was had, and pancakes ensued.

And it looks like we were correct. Also of note, we never specified a landline. I think that few of us even assume a landline any more and I am of the RUSH generation :roll:
On the topic of french toast.
I prefer to make my own using thick sliced butterzopf soaked in well beaten egg with just a drop of vanilla.
Then on medium heat in a covered pan so it steams a puffs up a bit as it cooks with a flip and brown to finish the other side.
Then comes the Real Maple syrup or Marmalade or powdered sugar and cinnamon [yek-sis likes it].
On the cooking discussion.
I only cook when I have time and when I do I make largish batches and freeze meal size portions and store them in the freezer chest in the basement.
A freezer chest is a defacto needed accessory if you are time constrained for most meals and budget constrained for outside dining.
Oh god, I'm still reading comment pages ..... help

Or asking him about his homemaking skills if she knows Claire is domestically challenged OR insists on equitable sharing of household duties. aka a Good Man can cook and work a washing machine.
Oh god ... I give up ... still 5 pages to read .... I might catch up by Wednesday .... :psyduck:

Regarding French toast: the trick, I've found, is to very lightly toast it first. Not enough that the bread starts to brown, necessarily, but enough that it dries out. Soaks up more of the egg mixture, and gives the end result a fluffier texture.
Chest freezers... on one hand, wish I had the room. On the other, having helped my dad clean one out after a power outage (a cleanup that was compounded by the fact that he was away for a few days while the power was out), I'm not 100% sure I'd miss it. I've never smelled a dead body, but I think that freezer would've given it a run for its money.
Zebediah:
I have smelled a dead body (not a dead human body, but a dead pig might actually smell worse). And yeah, a dead freezer can come close to that after a few days if there was a lot of meat in it. Even worse if there was fish in it.
Pilchard123:
You know why a chest freezer is so called? Well, when you have to get something out of the bottom when you're not really awake in the morning, and you lean over it with no shirt on...
