4 Flap Jacks.
PANCAKES?

1 Magazine on health.
I CAN TELL YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT HEALTH
I USED TO BUY THOSE FLEX AND MUSCLE AND FITNESS MAGS, BUT THEY GOT REDUNDANT- SAME ROUTINES OVER AND OVER AGAIN...JUST DIFFERENT BODYBUILDERS...WITH THE NUMBER OF BODYBUILDERS AND THE DIFFERENT EXERCISE PROGRAMS, THE NUMBER OF PERMUTATIONS WAS SUFFICIENT TO KEEP THE MAGAZINE GOING, I SUPPOSE

A giant tub of Echinacea to stop the pseky kids giving me all their germs.
I TRIED ST JOHNS WORT BEFORE. MIGHT HAVE HELPED A TAD.

Some envelopes

A pencil case for school.
1 Eraser
1 Ruler

WHAT KIND OF DEGREE ARE YOU GONNA EARN?

Tou adnama
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THIS WAS AT FIRST. I ACTUALLY TYPED "TOU ADNAMA" IN GOOGLE

Tou Yetep

Tou adnama.

Sorry, that's made me laugh.

Flap Jacks are like Oats and stuff.

AHH...ISOTONIC SPORTS DRINK. the UK's LEADING SPORTS DRINK. DID YOU GET THE ENERGY OR THE SPORT VARIETY? I got the energy one, just cause I felt like it really. Oh, and I felt a little hypoglyceamic as well. (Can't spell it) I want to be a teacher and I can't spell )

St Johns wort is good for depression apparently, tried it once.
Echinacea builds up your immune system stops you getting coughs and colds. The kids harbour them and throw them at me when they see me within 100 yards.

My Degree is a Batchelor of Education/Science.
Focusing on Information and Computer Technology.
3 years gets the Education Degree. 4 gets a Science degree.

i had to look up that sports drink thing. it must be the UK analogue of our own Gatorade.

so SJW helped you go from to pretty good?

i have a B.S. in Biology.

i was about 3 credits short of getting a minor in chemistry

for the life of me, i can't figure out where "Tara" comes from
lemme see, "tara" backwards if "arat" and that doesn't mean anything...



hey, are you, in fact, a talking rat ?

i'm a talking

PeteY out!

ps: what kind of flap jacks did you get?
over here, flap jacks are pancakes. flour base. + eggs and milk.
you put them on a griddle and pour the batter to make a flat "cake" and then pour butter and maple syrup over them.
yummy!

Tara is a way to say goodbye.

tara a bit. ? get it?

Flap Jacks are like Oats and stuff. these had fruit and nuts in and one of them had chocolate on the top.

Ingredients = Oats, Margarine, Syrup, fruit, sugar. Nuts as well.

Its more like a, I was gonna say cake, but I think we have different definitions for them as well.
I will find a web site for you.

amanda,

now i have a terrible headache and i feel like i'm gonna throw up!


third, thanks for the flap jack recipe. that was adorable

in return, i will give you a recipe for the greatest dessert known to humankind. the CHEESECAKE BROWNIE! yummy!

4 Tablespoons of butter

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon table salt

6 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped

5 large whole eggs

2 large egg yolks

1 1/3 cup of sugar

1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 pound cream cheese, softened

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Mix flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In the top of a double boiler or in microwave, melt chocolate and butter. Remove from heat.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together 3 eggs and 1 cup sugar on high speed until thick and fluffy, about 5 minutes. On low speed, add reserved chocolate mixture and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined. Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan. Set aside.

Fit mixer with the paddle attachment, and in the bowl, beat together cream cheese, remaining eggs and yolks, remaining sugar and remaining vanilla on medium speed, until light and fluffy. Pour over chocolate mixture. Swirl with a knife gently. Bake until cheese mixture is golden and set, 30 to 35 minutes

YOU WILL NOTICE THAT EATING THIS IS *NOT* CONDUCIVE TO MAINTAINING A FIRM BEHIND!
but, it IS great for a dopamine high!

Petey out!

oh, "tara" is totally weird for a good-bye!

I like your new name. It's kind of cool.

Thanks for the recipe.

I worked out hard yesterday, had a headache all night. The things we do to ourselves.

See ya,
Tara,
toodle loo
Are only a few of the ways to say good bye,

Aufwierdersehn Amanda

"toodle loo" i've heard of.

about the recipe. if you ever make it, keep in mind that it's just about the densest substance known to man... it's like a black hole...
i bet each cubic inch has at least 1,000 calories

that's what sucks about dieting
it takes a few seconds to eat what it takes an hour to burn off!


toodle loo,

peteY!

I know what you mean about the calories thing.
I just ran 3K and burnt about as many calories as there was in half a flap jack!

I like your reference to Black holes, how cool would it be to actually fly into one with a ship? A worm hole might be better, might not die then.

I need a drink.

Amanda out

A soft drink I meant.

amanda,

you--I like your reference to Black holes, how cool would it be to actually fly into one with a ship?
me--um...not THAT cool. i don't like the idea of being stretched into oblivion
i think the idea of Black holes is awesome, though
remember i told you about 2 supermassive ones that are gonna collide and send gravitational waves out thruout the universe?

speaking of soft drinks, have you tried vanilla coke yet?
kinda weird-tasting.

PeteY %-|
gorked

Vanilla Coke?
Eeek. Luckily I dont think it has reached us yet. Sounds nasty.

I am off for some beauty sleep now.

LAter

it IS a big weird. but haven't you ever had a root beer float?
sweet dreams , my dear.

Root beer float??????????????????/

ROOT BEER FLOAT

3/4 c. root beer or other- cola, divided
2 scoops (about 3/4 cup)- vanilla ice cream
Pour 1/2 cup root beer into 16 ounce soda glass and spoon ice cream into glass. top with remaining root beer. Yields about 2 cups.

SEE, AMANDA?! cola + VANILLA ice cream!

England doesn't have Root beer Floats?
no way!

PeteY!

As far as I know England doesn't have Root Beer floats no.

We are a little behind you see. Takes a few millenia for things to reaach us over this side of the pond.
I blame the government.

(for everything)

Manda out

REALLY?

England is THAT far behind us?


no root beer floats
no vanilla coke
do you have cap'n crunch and cinnamon toast crunch?


you have internet access, at least.
do you have plasma TV's over there?

btw, i saw the most adorable and funny stunt on Trigger Happy TV the other day.
it was at a busy street intersection...
so, this guy dressed like a turtle with a big shell on his back starts crawling r-e-a-l-l-y slowly across the street...
then when he was about 1/2 way across...
this other dude in a big fluffy bunny costume runs right past him...

you had to see it for full comic effect

it was SO Freakin' hysterical, though!

PeteY out!

%-| ?

do you have cap'n crunch and cinnamon toast crunch?

Erm..? What?

Trigger happy TV is cool, I aint seen many of them though.

Manda

cap'n crunch and cinnamon toast crunch are cereals! you know, you put it in a bowl and pour milk over it.
cinnamon toast crunch is my favorite!

other cereals are:
cheerios
corn flakes
rice krispies
golden grahams
raisin brain
