Oh yes please. I love guessing what type of character a charie is from their board.

@whalekeeper

I just had to go look up what a French silk pie is (and am now craving chocolate). I love those, but we typically make chocolate cream pies with merengue like coconut cream pies (which we also make, and pecan pie, pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, cheesecake…*moan of hunger*)

I don’t remember hearing of this hopscotch, but I’d be…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Oh very interesting! I really like it. It feels like the perspective of somebody who is forgetting their life but still loves the people around them through confusion.

@koshka

I do that to chocolate cream pies, but that goes without saying.

Do you make French silk pies? We do that, and coconut cream pies. There’s also something called hopscotch, which is a mixture of peanut butter, butterscotch, marshmallows, and uncooked chow mein noodles.

That would be… interesting.

It would be. I’d rather not risk it. XD

@whalekeeper

That’s a much more coherent poem than my typical rambling-until-they-turn-to-poetry thoughts end up.

@whalekeeper

(Edit: The meat isn’t raw, just the masa)

So I assumed. That would be… interesting.

@whalekeeper

XD that’s great. I do that to chocolate cream pies, but that goes without saying.

I have written my 400 words… prepare to defend yourselves…

@koshka

Yeeeeesss 😭 I’m tasked with making them each year, and I secretly eat the masa and meat raw like cookie dough… 😬

My shower thoughts sometimes turn into poems. 😛

No name.

Ten years I’ve lost my ever-changing mind.

My words have slowed, and must be redefined.

Your name slips on my tongue, a stranger’s taste;

The dullness and the gray leave me misplaced.

WhAt??????

It’s a great tradition. Also, homemade tamales are almost worth dying for.

@grcr

Well… I’ve read books with 100+ chapters, so it wouldn’t bother me at all. The book I’m reading right now is YA fantasy with roughly 70 chapters. If your chapters are a little short, it might make sense to combine some of them so it doesn’t feel too choppy. But otherwise it’s all up to you.

@koshka

Tamales especially are definitely a holiday food here. Although that doesn’t mean we don’t eat them year round, which we do, they’re just a Christmas tradition I guess.

No waaaay. O.O That’s our tradition! We have homemade tamales for Christmas dinner every year, plus a huge smorgasbord of cheese, meats, candies, etc.

@esther-c

Ah. That makes sense. We have turkey and ham for both, so we have dressing at both.

@koshka

I’m tryna remember, lol… Um… We normally do with Thanksgiving since we have turkey, but on Christmas we only serve ham, so I don’t think we eat stuffing too. I might be remember wrong though. There’s a couple side dishes that change every year.

@esther-c

So, does your family have dressing or stuffing (or neither)?

We usually have cornbread dressing, although we have family up north who have stuffing, and I like both. The debates over which is better are fun to listen to.

@koshka

Yeah, we normally have a more traditional dinner too (ham, green beans, mac ‘n’ cheese, potatoes, etc.). Dad likes to switch things up every now and then, but his side of the family (the one we normally celebrate Christmas with), likes to stick to the traditional meal. 😉

Ohhh, ok, that makes more sense now. I can totally see that bei…[Read more]

@theducktator

Praying!!

We also have a bonfire and fireworks on Christmas Eve. It’s great fun.

@esther-c

Really? My family usually has a more traditional Christmas dinner with cornbread dressing, potatoes, turkey, ect. But we did barbeque one year with extended family, and enchiladas another.

I’m born and raised Texan, and yeah. Tamales especially are definitely a holiday food here. Although that doesn’t mean we don’t eat them year round,…[Read more]
