'Selfless'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Favorite Things isn't a Christmas song though.
Doesn't stop people from considering it one, though. Last time I saw it mentioned as one was on the gawker network's worst Christmas song elimination. But it's totally not the first time, and I doubt it will be the last.
Yeah, you know I think you have a point:
They are conflating Winter movies with Christmas movies. That said, "Sound of Music" also does not have a lot of winter on display. Most of the action takes place in the spring or summer based on the clothing and blue skies.
Baking people: if a recipe calls for fresh or frozen cranberries, do you think substituting dried is okay?
Amy, if you use dried fruit in place of fresh/frozen, you might have to increase the liquid (water, milk, etc.) in the recipe to compensate for the amount of liquid the fruit would have contributed.
They are pretty different, so you'd probably have to adjust something else, but I'm not 100% sure what. It's not as extreme as grapes vs. raisins (because cranberries aren't as wet as grapes), but it's got to be similar. What's the recipe?
It's a cookie recipe, and there's almost no liquid in it aside from vanilla and one egg. Hmm.
When Franny was a toddler I tried to watch "The Sound of Music" with her, but the moment it started with the music swelling and Julie Andrews spinning on the mountain top and belting out "The hi-ills are a-liiiive..." Franny burst into tears! Too much emotion! Her little body couldn't handle feeling all that emotion at once.
Glee just used "Favorite Things" in their xmas episode.
Hey, guess which long-lost Buffista I had breakfast with yesterday? Angus!
He's on a cross country holiday trip, and we went to Zazie and yet another out-of-towner has had the gingerbread pancakes.
It was good to see him and we walked around the City for three hours and I introduced him to Adventure Time, and he explained Melbourne to me.
Man, I was such an emotionally deficient child, it seems. Unless it featured alligators or slavery, I was pretty much immune.
Amy, maybe you can re-hydrate them before you put them into the cookies? Take out the guesswork?
