Text of the page (random words):
interesting ideas of what people consider ideal for this purpose several recipes included cups and cups of pure shortening and promised to taste just like the frosting on a cake from the store and the reviews for those recipes happily concurred my family loved it they said it tasted like it came from kroger ummm no that s not quite what i m going for fortunately i came across smittenkitchen com and the site s series of entries entitled project wedding cake when it came to frosting she had already found the answer for me swedish buttercream i d never heard of it but her description and the many comments on the original post clearly indicated that it was worth a try and bless her forever ms smitten kitchen provided the quantities necessary to make a tiny test batch i did so last night it s unlike anything i ve ever made heat egg whites and sugar until the sugar dissolves beat until double in size add vanilla add soft butter and whip until well until it s ready again thank goodness for detailed directions and encouragement the stuff in the bowl is initially runny soft and nothing like frosting but i kept the mixer going because ms smitten kitchen promised me that i must believe and that it would come together and suddenly miraculously the runny mixture gained structure and substance and became perfect i tasted it and all i could say was wow when my son tried it his eyes grew wide it s infinitely smooth satiny buttery and delicately sweet and i can tell that it will be a dream to spread and pipe tonight i m planning to make some of the cakes i ll make the rest tomorrow along with the frosting and fillings after all the components have had some refrigeration time to make them easier to work with i ll fill the layers and apply the outer layers of frosting sunday morning i ll transport the pieces to church where doug will help me construct the tower and i ll do the decorating it promises to be a happy adventure harry investigating my new pans leave a comment posted in baking family love marriage marriage equality tagged baking cake marriage wedding wedding cake i ve seen 100 of these 257 movies posted on december 12 2008 1 comment an interesting list that i d guess was put together by a 20 something person who has a particular liking for comedies and horror flicks i watch a lot of movies but you wouldn t know it from my score on this list many of my favorites aren t on here the list is very short on action adventure movies and films made before about 2000 where are the batman movies where is james bond and please two movies about ewoks and one made by mel brooks of course if i was making the list i wouldn t probably have included any horror movies at all because i don t watch them and i d have very few recent comedies because i don t like

dinner my kids were talking about school and some of their teachers my son said mr jock not his real name keeps doing something really annoying and what might that be when two guys are wrestling around in the hall or something mr jock will ask them if they re going out or he ll call them girls like girls are you coming to class mr jock apparently makes such comments fairly often homophobic words litter his everyday speech his and a lot of other people s teenagers have taken to using the word gay as slang for something stupid or ridiculous don t like a movie it was really gay think a kid at school is doing something goofy he s so gay i can fix that behavior within the confines of my house my daughter s ex boyfriend learned to eliminate the negative gay figure of speech pretty quickly now we re working on the new boyfriend but i can t fix the behavior of my son s teachers and the other students and all the people he ll encounter for the rest of his life who will speak and behave in ways that are bigoted and hurtful many of them will do so unconsciously reflecting the way they were raised and taught others will do so very much on purpose and we live in relatively enlightened times i m frightened enough for my son as he faces the rest of his teen years and then adulthood what must it have been like for parents of gblt youth 20 years ago or 50 it gives me some slight inkling of what it must be like to parent a child who s a member of racial minority even today how did mothers and fathers bear to let their children leave the house in the days before civil rights brought at least partial sanity to our society for our gay youth there is still very little sanity in the united states hate speech of the kind that is no longer tolerated when it refers to skin color is commonplace when it refers to sexuality gblt people can t talk openly about their relationships or hold hands with their partners on public streets without risking verbal or physical violence prop 8 and similar laws around the country remind them that regardless of the strength of their love many people consider their relationships wrong and unworthy of cementing with a marital bond unless like some dear friends of ours plan to do over christmas they travel to one of the few enlightened places that allow gays and lesbians to wed i love my son more than i can possibly express i want to be able to ensure that his every moment is filled with happiness love and sunshine but i can t i m helpless even to ensure him a hate free environment at school we decided that it s better not to try to address mr jock s behavior lest fallout come back on my son and my daughter has warned her brother that although the high school he ll attend next year is a relatively gblt friendly environment he ll face plenty of unthinking insensitivity there too all parents want their children to experience the very best that life has to offer in the united states all parents want to tell their children that they live in the land of equality and freedom but some of us have to tell our children that as much as we love them and as great as our country is life for them will not be equal and free instead they ll encounter venom and hatred and disgust not because of who they are but because of who they love no mother should have to say that to her son it isn t fair to either of us and it makes me very very
