• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

What made you smile recently (2023)?

This week I had an email from the Finance Department of His Majesty's Passport Office and was asked to ring them in UK to discuss reimbursement of my costs involved in contacting them last August (£10.32).

I was driving home from my doctor's appointment, and on NPR they did a story on an event in France Called La Dictée Geante. It is a big Dictation contest.

The story was about three minutes long, and the word "Dictée" is spoken many times. Thing is, spoken fast, at least by this narrator, it sounded like dic* day. "It's dic* day in Paris." :laugh: When you hear it about 50 times in three minutes, it starts to get funny.

So I was a little drunk and craving munchies a bit ago. Congratulated myself on finishing off a bowl of lovely fresh cherries instead of junk food, but then looked at my Kitchen Aid sitting on the counter. She and her bowl hold my salty snacks. Mean mugging grinch. I just ate a bunch of cheese puffs because of her. She's got a one-eyed snarky smile, look at her!
