_To me_ lemon cake mix made into a pineapple upside-down cake sounds really,
really awful. Others may think it sounds lip-smacking, but you asked for
an opinion and I gave you mine.

I'm inclined to agree with you and I thank you for your opinion.

I don't know where you're at but in the US, a box of cake mix in a 9X13 pan makes for a shallow cake. A shallow cake is a sad, thing. I'd use a smaller pan.

I make 9x13 cakes from cake mixes and the cakes are not shallow. Do you mean
shallow as in the cake is only 1/2 high??

That would be correct. Shallow cakes are a downer. I made this cake with a box mix in a 9 inch round pan. OTOH, you really have to rely on experience with the proper size pan for the amount of batter you're using. Typically, I'm dead on.

I don't think pineapple and lemon go together. Me, I'd just eat the
pineapple. :)

Well, it's a little difficult to see the depth of that piece of cake. But,
my cakes are never 1/2 inch high when I use a 9x13 pan. On the back of the
boxes it will state how long to cook according to the size of pan being used.
Mine are usually _at least_ 2 inches in depth.

Many of you may have seen this already. But it's fun.

My mother really liked taking me to those movies. My sister (a lot
older than me) was not a good companion. On the way home from the
movies she would cry every time they walked pass a alley and burrow
inside my mother's coat. I was made of sterner stuff ;)

Seeing the transformation of the "Wolfman" always terrified me no matter
which movie it was or who the actor was portraying him.

I thought it was Revenge of the Creature where he was in a white lab

Clint Eastwood was in "Revenge of the Creature" in a white lab coat but
it was an uncredited role.

The best portrayal I recall of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (IMHO) was
Spencer Tracy. Circa 1941. *That* was a great movie! Featuring a very
young Ingrid Bergman as the patient of the doctor who was so very suave
but uh oh... Mr. Hyde!
 
If you want to get comical, check out Michael Landon in 'I Was a Teenage
Werewolf'. LOL

Are all of your feral cats not neutered and spayed??
 
There is a feral tom cat that has been around my neighborhood for y-e-a-r-s.
I've almost gained his trust as he will let me pet him when I feed him. He
will sleep in a front porch chair waiting for me to feed and water him. But
he still jumps down and backs off until his bowls are full then he'll let me
pet him.

Thanks to a quirk in human biology, even a cranky old geezer with a questionable liver can become a proud papa. Just put that guy out to stud with fillies under the age of 40. My guess is that he'll never see the kid enter grade school.

So you won't mind if veterans for benefits would be restricted to those
who are actually in combat? If it is a matter of equality and we
expected everyone to have equal opportunity, then we should expect equal
involvement and equal responsibility. If women want to go into the
armed forces and expect promotion on a par with their male comrades,
they should be equally prepared for combat.

I have Corelle plates and cereal bowls that are for daily use. Most of
them are at least 40years old.
For "best", i.e., for dinner parties, I have a Thomas dinner service
that my Dad bought for me as a wedding present almost 50 years ago. I
kept it when dividing property during my divorce.

I like those Corelle plates because they can be used in a microwave oven without getting hot. I hate grabbing hot plates out of the microwave.

I just happened to stock up on most everything a week or so before the
shut down. I got big bags of both kinds of flour and no inspiration to
bake.

I stocked up as well but not because I foresaw a run on it but because
of the obvious restrictions that would come because of the virus.
I've put a temporary halt to making bread. I have some in the freezer
but I have put on 3 or 4 pounds that I attribute to snacking on the
damned stuff! I like it too much.

Gruce, don't your sorry ass have an ingredient list, or you waiting

Most any American will shit directly in your face.

Rooming house, "shared international student living house" is the same
thing as a boarding house which is what you run. They're renting rooms
from you and they have kitchen privileges. Call it what you like, but
it's a boarding house.
 
"A boarding house is a house (frequently a family home) in which
lodgers rent one or more rooms for one or more nights, and sometimes
for extended periods of weeks, months, and years. The common parts
of the house are maintained, and some services, such as laundry and
cleaning, may be supplied."

Yeah I have seen that before and that is what is called a mental
breakdown from eating too many ants. It is sort of like PTSD but
caused by the consumption of too many ants.

I like adding pesto to eggs it is truly a treat. No salt and pepper
needed as I have plenty of spice in my pesto. When I make pesto I
usually add some sriracha sauce except this last time I added
something called kimchi spice or some crap like that. Gluten free
sriracha is getting harder to find not to mention it is like 8 dollars
for a small bottle.
