[21:03] <margo_> I'll keep my 8 that they are calling for {maybe}

[21:03] <ShirleyMS> yea...you should have been at the grocery store..it was a mad house!!! LOL

[21:03] <hassrah> Making sure that your hands are dusted with cornstarch, press gently, pinch the tip, and then press firmly each of the 5 petals

[21:04] <claudia1> hassrah, is the filler flower the same size ball as the bud?

[21:04] <TrishaCA> LOL.. I know of rich California folks that pay big buck to have a snow machine make snow for their front yards....I bet you guys would give it away for free and us paying to get some...lol

[21:04] <hassrah> Replace the dowel in2 the centre of the flower and shape upwards

[21:04] <ShirleyMS> you are sooooooooooooooooooo right traciep !!!LOL

[21:04] <SugarGirlie> doesn't it just melt trisha??

[21:04] <ShirleyMS> oops I mean TrishaCA

[21:05] <hassrah> Insert hooked wire thru center of flower. make sure wire is not visible

[21:05] <TrishaCA> Sure it melts but you have snow for a couple hours ,,,,of course we have a good cold front headed this way so you might be able to keep it longer

[21:06] <ShirleyMS> traciep are you in here?? I have a question for ya?

[21:06] <margo_> traciep , do you know how many mini houses the double recipe will make??

[21:09] <ShirleyMS> yea traciep ..the ones you buy in a store

[21:09] <margo_> I meant how many cookies are you baking tonight, I know you'll get back to me on the gingerbread.

[21:10] <hassrah> When all are dried, dust bottom in green and flower in appropriate calour

[21:10] <traciep> if the houses are small, it should be ok. they just won't last.

[21:10] <hassrah> Make some leaves. I love grape leaves. works 4 everything

[21:11] <traciep> tonight i'm making 75 sports ball cookies (5") round and another 6 dozen mixed cookies.

[21:11] <ShirleyMS> ok..thanks traciep ..they probably wont last until they get home to eat them..lol

[21:11] <hassrah> Arrange all flowers to suit your taste

[21:11] <traciep> it will definitely taste better than the royal.

[21:16] <KampyCake> Good (brrrrrrr) evening All!

[21:16] <sgr1> A tree, heavens I already have 2 up now. LOL

[21:16] <margo_> traciep , have you tried the potpourri yet??

[21:16] <MindyMo> I feel for you KampyCake

[21:17] <TrishaCA> cyber tree...the easiest tree to decorate ever

[21:17] <claudiaOK> Anyone watching tv while we;re chatting? The Supreme Court has remanded the case back to the Florida Supreme court.

[21:17] SugarGirlie gives Hassrah a standing ovation :)

[21:17] <traciep> not yet margo, haven't had time yet. john really liked it though.

[21:17] <TrishaCA> OH NO<<<<<

[21:17] <KampyCake> What have I missed or shall I just wait and read it later?

[21:17] <hassrah> U all need 2 come to Trinidad. Hot, sunny weather. Great for beach lime

[21:17] <MindyMo> I saw that. I guess Bush is president

[21:17] <sgr1> didn't check my email yet Trish, I'll check in a bit....that will be the easiest one. LOL

[21:17] <margo_> I don't think we will ever get this straighten up !!!

[21:18] <claudiaOK> With the snow falling, I could certainly be convinced to come to Trinidad

[21:18] <KampyCake> No, Bush isn't president - they just told Florida to solve the problems I think

[21:18] <SugarGirlie> for the next 4 years he's gonna be called President? Bush

[21:18] <TrishaCA> YUP.....Florida needs to settle this mess

[21:18] <claudiaOK> Right.

[21:18] <MindyMo> the lawyers are saying it's over and no more counting

[21:18] <margo_> The problem IS Florida'

[21:18] <TrishaCA> recount...not by hand they say

[21:18] <sgr1> Why can't they just forget the recounts and have the election over again

[21:18] <KampyCake> I would like to come to Trinidad - I will call you Hassrah when I do

[21:19] <hassrah> what will happen if this is not resolved by next month?

[21:19] <claudiaOK> The congress decides

[21:19] <SugarGirlie> Jean: all the people who voted for others would vote for one of the two instead, altering the original outcome.....that's why

[21:19] <KampyCake> Clinton gets to be president again! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[21:19] <margo_> We need to vote on going to Trinidad for the winter. I'll go lol

[21:19] <claudiaOK> LOL

[21:19] <KampyCake> nah, Nader should have won

[21:19] <sgr1> Perhaps they should have some housewives running things. LOL

[21:19] <MindyMo> hehheheehe. he said he'd be president for another term awhile back

[21:20] <hassrah> u all ever heard of our Carnival?

[21:20] <TrishaCA> what a mess

[21:20] <ShirleyMS> oh sorry Hi marie!

[21:20] <KampyCake> Watch out ladies, no zipper is safe with him loose!

[21:20] <sgr1> Think things would be better here if housewives ran the country. LOL

[21:20] <KampyCake> Hi Shirley, nice to see you

[21:20] <SugarGirlie> i have hassrah....we have it here too because toronto has the 2nd highest carribean population in the world.....every august it is

[21:20] <ShirleyMS> Jean I agree with ya on that one!!LOL

[21:20] <claudiaOK> Tell us about it, hassrah

[21:21] <hassrah> About 2 months of partying

[21:21] wendy is on IRC

[21:21] <KampyCake> When is it?

[21:21] <hassrah> ending in 2 days of partying in the streets in costumes

[21:21] <ShirleyMS> Marie nice to see you too..Are you getting enough cold weather?

[21:22] <hassrah> @ days, Mon & Tue b4 Ash Wednesday

[21:22] <KampyCake> yes, it's so cold, it hurts when I have to go outside and take care of the animals

[21:22] <ShirleyMS> sounds like a Mardi Gras..lol

[21:22] <KampyCake> The geese sit down on the snow to eat to keep their feet warm

[21:23] <hassrah> Shirley. I think I got all of the chat saved

[21:23] <sgr1> It's freezing here to Marie

[21:23] <KampyCake> Wow, that sounds like it would be tiring - all that partying

[21:23] <KampyCake> sgr1 remind me of where you are

[21:23] <ShirleyMS> oh poor geese... I feel sorry for animals that have to stay outside in this kind of weather

[21:23] <MindyMo> the only problem is, someone is going to count those ballots and if Gore actually did win, the @#$% is going to hit the fan

[21:23] <hassrah> How to send it to Dolores

[21:23] <sgr1> New Brunswick, Canada....bbrrrrrr

[21:24] <sgr1> you are getting quite a storm aren't you SugarGirlie

[21:24] <TrishaCA> I wonder when Al will toss in the towel....they had a skit on SNL where he handcuffed himself to Clinton's desk in the oval office, very funny

[21:24] <claudiaOK> Shirlely probably knows the answer to that one

[21:24] <KampyCake> they don't have to stay outside - they have a perfectly good house to get into - can come and go as they please - it has straw to keep them warm, but they want to stay outside

[21:24] <SugarGirlie> it just finished actually....wasn't too bad...only 25"

[21:24] wendy has left IRC

[21:25] <sgr1> Oh heavens some are saying it's on it's way here, I sure hope not

[21:27] <hassrah> I have never seen snow

[21:27] <KampyCake> ...and my glasses fog over and freeze

[21:27] <sgr1> the bride for the wedding on the 30th is carrying her cell phone with her if it storms she is sending her brother in his blazer for me. LOL

[21:28] <ShirleyMS> hassrah want me to send you some snow by email??LOL

[21:28] <hassrah> lol

[21:28] <sgr1> LOL Shirley

[21:28] <KampyCake> I am doing a decorated angel food tomorrow. Does anyone have a suggestion for a really good icing to use?

[21:28] <hassrah> keep it

[21:28] <hassrah> will stick my head in freezer

[21:28] <claudiaOK> ShirleyMS, what does buffer mean? when I right click, that is one of the options with further options being, save or clear. Thanks

[21:28] <MindyMo> hehehe

[21:28] <sgr1> LOL, smart Lady

[21:28] <KampyCake> there ya go Hassrah! LOL

[21:28] <ShirleyMS> awwwwww man..thought I might get rid of some of it..lol

[21:29] <hassrah> nahhhh, keep it

[21:29] <hassrah> brb

[21:29] <KampyCake> I hope the cold is kiling some little bugs and fungus

[21:29] <SugarGirlie> yes you've seen snow hassrah....it's the stuff that piles up on the inside of your freezer! :)

[21:29] <ShirleyMS> claudiaOK hold on Im not sure..let me check

[21:29] <ShirleyMS> brb

[21:29] <claudiaOK> KampyCake, are you wanting something besides a simple glaze?

[21:29] <sgr1> that's one thing it's good for Marie

[21:30] <KampyCake> do you think Marida's icing would go good on an angel food?

[21:30] <SugarGirlie> oop sorry....read that late :(

[21:30] <claudiaOK> Might be too heavy for an angelfood

[21:30] <hassrah> have u been 2 Arielle's Recipe Archive? Lots of icing recipes

[21:30] <KampyCake> no, I don't think I've seen that archive.

[21:30] <sgr1> They usually just want the buttercream around here

[21:30] <KampyCake> what about 7-minute type?

[21:31] <claudiaOK> I think that would be better, or a whipped cream frosting

[21:31] <hassrah> hold on. let me get site address

[21:31] <margo_> How about a Fondant glaze??

[21:32] <KampyCake> I need to cover the cake and put yellow roses on top. I thought something fluffy would be good - afraid my regular buttercream would be too heavy

[21:32] kitty is on IRC

[21:32] <KampyCake> They don't want Bettercreme and I don't have any whipping cream

[21:32] <SugarGirlie> i'll be back in a bit....have to go mix up a cheesecake :)

[21:32] <CarolAnnTX> A cool-whip type of icing would be good for angel food cake (light and airy)

[21:32] <claudiaOK> You can smooth a 7 min. tuype frosting. Would be pretty with roses.

[21:32] ocean is on IRC

[21:33] <KampyCake> I'm wondering if there is a quick and easy 7-minute type icing

[21:33] <sgr1> brb, need another log for the fire. LOL

[21:33] <claudiaOK> Not that i know of

[21:33] wendy is on IRC

[21:33] <KampyCake> It's for a really elderly lady and I thought maybe she would like swirls. Thought about making the cooked icing like you put on red velvet - it's so good and light

[21:34] <claudiaOK> That would be good too

[21:34] <TrishaCA> Soory been watching the news....almost afraid to believe that this mess might be over.

[21:57] <claudiaOK> Do you order from CK, Mindy?

[21:57] <KampyCake> United sells them wholesale

[21:58] <KampyCake> I just places a phone order today Minday.

[21:58] <TrishaCA> oh really...ears perked :)

[21:58] <ShirleyMS> Marie I also volunteer at a boys and girls club...its really amazing to be around the kids

[21:58] <MindyMo> no, United has most of ck's stuff I think. I got a bunch of catalogs from them anyway

[21:59] <MindyMo> does anyone have the book by roland, buttercream flowers and arrangements? is it worth the money?

[21:59] <claudiaOK> I bought from United when I was in KC a couple of years ago, but don't remember what their minimum order is. Can you tell me?

[21:59] <KampyCake> The best way to help yourself is to help others. I was a volunteer at adult basic education literacy program - teaching adults to read and it was great.

[21:59] <TrishaCA> I think I have that one

[21:59] <claudiaOK> I think it is. I've used it a lot.

[21:59] <MindyMo> they don't have one that I know of claudia

[21:59] <KampyCake> I think it's $10.

[21:59] <claudiaOK> That's great. Cuz CK ticks me off sometimes.

[22:00] <KampyCake> Well, you can order any amount, but there's a surcharge for under $10.

[22:00] <MindyMo> I've ordered from United several times and haven't had any problems with them. knock on wood.

[22:00] <KampyCake> Yes, That book is GOOD Mindy. Do you want to borrow mine to see if you like it?

[22:00] <claudiaOK> There's a $10. surcharge from CK for anything under $100.

[22:00] <TrishaCA> Yup, I have that book and it is great

[22:01] <TrishaCA> I even had roland sign my copy :)

[22:01] <MindyMo> no, but thanks Marie. I'll take you guys word for it. ;-)

[22:01] <ShirleyMS> Marie some of these little kids are sooooo smart! They come in and give me a big hug..it really makes me feel good! they are in grades from 1 to 4

[22:01] <KampyCake> Pohlman's Create A Cake does mail order on the internet now

[22:01] <MindyMo> I need help with arranging flowers on cakes. that's what this book does isn't it

[22:02] <KampyCake> Shirley what do you teach the kids?

[22:02] <ShirleyMS> the only one I have is color creations by snyder

[22:02] <claudiaOK> It tells how to make many flowers in buttercream, plus various ways of arranging them

[22:02] <ShirleyMS> oops in buttercream

[22:02] <MindyMo> that's great. that's exactly what I need

[22:02] <claudiaOK> does Pohlman's sell wholesale?

[22:02] <KampyCake> His class certainly helped me in arranging flowers on the cake. He shows how to tie everything in on the top of a sheet cake

[22:03] <TrishaCA> how do you all order from these wholesale places?

[22:03] <claudiaOK> I have a shop

[22:03] <ShirleyMS> Marie arts and crafts
