  1. this is correct... with 'wet' being the butter, sugar, egg mixture. alternate adding the flour mixture ('dry', with the leavening and spices) and the pumpkin. that's really just to keep it from getting too thick/hard to mix - the pumpkin provides the added moisture. NO milk or cream. looks fantastic! 😁 i love that bundt, how the icing flows down...neat!👍 is that a sprinkle of pumpkin spice or cinnamon on top?? happy thanksgiving!
  2. this tells me that there have been men like Trump for ages. or Doestoevsky was a wizard.
  3. depends...are you dancing to this while drizzling the icing?
  4. 1 1/2 to 2 ozs softened cream cheese, whipped with mixer add 1 1/2 c powdered sugar, 1/2 t vanilla whip together... then add milk about a tablespoon at a time until you get it to whatever consistency you are going for. make sure it's smooth. i used a large soup spoon to scoop, kept it angled and just drizzled from inside out, back and forth, turning cake. filled in gaps with a drizzle. sprinkled crushed pecans. ta da. 😁
  5. changing seasons...😄
  6. what a beautiful bundt design! i added a sprinkle of chopped pecans this year... that will probably be my last embellishment 😊 enough to honor momma but put my own spin on it 😁
  7. everything is making sense 😐
  8. so what's the status on @Sharon's daughter?? as someone who had a young family member involuntarily (and absolutely incorrectly) 'held' for mental health reasons a few years ago...it's infuriating! luckily in our instance, the pre-admission medical check doctor (at an unaffiliated hospital) realized it was some bullshit and pulled rank (or whatever) and ordered her release...but still, it was terrifying it got to that point...i can't imagine if she was actually locked up and we couldn't get to her!
  9. Looch better watch out...lil Graham is obviously gunning for his job.
  10. im baking mine today! 😊
  11. well this all sounds like it's going to go swimmingly!
  12. CO voted bluer 😠
  13. plus he's the biggest fucking asshole on this site by a LOT. even posters that generally support his same 'team' think he's a hateful hypocritical dickhead. he's the Ted Cruz of surly.
  14. it's def gotten colder... luckily Duke has winter weather gear so we can still ride some 😎 going to see his girl Moxie today! 😄
  15. ^that's a good gage. in the absence of some sudden illness/injury (been thru that a couple of times, that's by far the worst)... for our aging doggos, assuming there's no real pain, we basically went with two factors - incontinence and ceasing to enjoy food. dogs are pretty simple, those two things i feel like make up a good portion of them just 'living life'. and i think of humans, myself included... if i get to the point that i can't stop peeing on myself and can't enjoy a good burger, fuck it, im done. our Catahoula had the biggest, loudest personality of any of our dogs. her issue was sudden (something in her spinal cord, or maybe a stroke) and we were not even remotely prepared, she was only 8! 💔 that is definitely worse. loved that girl.
  16. i mean with the plans for UT is there a legitimate need for a 'differently voiced' alternative? UT is becoming that voice. i guess having no cost (for now) is a winner. also this seems very similar to the Sanderfer/Acton university mba program. i think they actually lost their accreditation and ended up outside the US. they should hook up with these guys now lol 🙄
  17. one of the unanticipated but much appreciated benefits of moving to Denver is that while we run into Longhorns almost weekly around the city and get frequent friendly callouts and 🤘 gestures (stores, bike riding, restaurants, etc.) i have seen maybe a total of 5 aggy in our 2 1/2 years here.
