LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

[BAZzy]

@baz

that "shed" is the size of thesome small countries here in Europe. a cold tinny after a bit of excersize sounds about right.

I spent 3 months in melbourne working on a project and have wanted to get back for a longer vacation (3-6 months) with the trouble and strife.
Its on my bucketlist for my 50th - one of my memorable things was having a pie floater at Harry's in Sydney!!! never lived unless you've had a pie floater drowning in ketchup...

Well, let's hope you get back to the Harbour City, and Um..Tomato Sauce please! hahhaha

And for those wondering what a "pie floater" is - all you need to know is here - and never to be missed!

Well, of course Sydneysider Hugh Jackman is going to be a fan! I think I ate a pie and peas every day for lunch while I was in grade school in Melbourne. But, it wasn't floating ... they'd peel the top off the pie, and layer in a spoonful of green peas (which had been cooked for at least a football season), then smash the top back. Same concept, I guess; good stuff.

Hmmm, Pie Floaters? Sounds, ah, interesting. That definitely joins my list of interesting food names. Right up there with-toad in the hole, spotted dick, bangers and mash, and mountain oysters
Space age food eh?-pass the Tang

or some klingon Gagh ?

but seriously pie floaters is up there with some of my favourites, (although i do prefer brown sauce and not tomato).... käsespätzl, raggmunk to name a few. As a yorkshireman i do love my yorkshire puddings, and "toad in t'hole" (never never say the in connection with anything out of yourkshire ) is an ol time favourite of the family- althoug hnow living in germany - we simply can't get the sausages (or bangers).

Ah fall....and time to rake the leaves...again and again! Nothing quite like literally clearing the deck and patio only to look outside a couple of hours later, and it's like you were n.e.v.e.r. there.

Here's your stay healthy tip of the day:

Welcome to the season of dry and cracked hands,fingers, and oh ouch...thumbs....this will impact your erging ..... and it seems the more we're exercising, the more likely we'll be battling this one as the humidity drops. Surprisingly, this isn't about how much water you drink, but more about the dryness in the air and dang it, genetics. Those genes bring all kinds of trouble. Dermatologists say that just applying hand cream once a day isn't enough...needs to be more like five or six times a day. Doesn't have to be that foo foo stuff for you manly types either. Minnie probably knows more about all this than I do, but I'm raising the awareness level. Like a lot of things, prevention better than having to fix it...

Season meters as of 173/365 = 59,480,470 m

I have no use for marshmallow fluff, but, I have made it! (Side project, after making marshmallows, which do serve a purpose if combined properly with chocolate and graham crackers.)

My buddy in the UK often closes an evening email with
"it's time for a hot chocolate and fluff"
Maybe I've had it by a different name. Maybe. I know I've had Marshmallow in my hot chocolate being a good Canadian to fight off the winter while ice skating a time or two. Frankly the best thing in a hot chocolate in my humble opinion is amaretto. I used to go through one bottle a winter. Make room for that along side the Tang. It'll warm you up on a cold winter morning. A fine start to any day.

never saw the movie...i must say, i love my fluff with peanut butter on pita bread :]

snoopy!!!!

actually didn't snoopy get his own "star" on the walk of fame this week?

fluff and peanut butter on pita bread...hmm with maple syrup ?

[Kona2]

Snoopy has such universal appeal - as does the Peanuts gang! The USPS has issued a holiday stamp series featuring the Peanuts characters as of October 1st - and they are very fun. They are also continuing the theme with some of their pre-printed packaging...and therein lies a mystery that perhaps a teammate or two can help solve. I am not sure who the twins in purple are on the packaging. Anyone know about them? And, in keeping with the twins theme...well, we have QUITE A FEW twin palindromes!



While doing some Wiki "research", I did come across what is apparently a phone case cover...but it does seem to be timely....especially for all those of us who have stargazed in the company of our dog(s)...Tardis notwithstanding...




Meanwhile, once again we are approaching 60 million team meters...and more teammate milestones!
