@Catija Is there any particular store (chain) to check prices? That should actually be my next purchase.

Oooh! And congrats! :) I knew it!

@Jolenealaska They sell them at Bed Bath and Beyond, I know that.

We've got that!

And thanks :D It's very exciting.

I even have a welcome to the neighborhood coupon from them.

Oooh, yay!

BBB is well known for being very liberal with their coupon issuance...

So, anyone want to help me figure out what sort of "cake" to make for a 1-year-old's birthday that doesn't have sugar? It doesn't have to be real cake, the mom wants to do that birthday cake smash thing... so I was thinking about something made with mashed potato frosting maybe.

@Stephie haha, how come, which item made you interested in visiting?

@Huy it's probably genetic... But new cereal bowls, wooden spoons and a step-ladder for high cupboards, there is that carafe that looks interesting and I'm short on wrapping paper and of course I need to check out the latest tea towel patterns. Shall I continue?

@Vogel612 Yeah, he's been inactive for a while now, and it's policy to remove inactive moderators.

Awww. :( Did we ever find out what's up with him?

I didn't know and nothing was on meta, soo...

I posted it here to solicit a question by a community veteran

interesting where you meet people again though... Hi @Stephie

Did you mean an answer, or do you mean you'd like a meta question to explain it?

@Jefromi I'm not actually interested

I just saw it on twitter and thought the community here might be interested

and I wanted to check whether they knew.

@Vogel612 hi Vögelchen!

@Jefromi as I understand Moderator stepdowns (voluntary or not) usually are explained on meta in a "broad overview"

@Vogel612 I believe they deliberately didn't post because he hasn't been on the site in a year so they didn't think there was a need to say much, but I'll go ahead and post.

I don't mind either way. I don't even have a cooking account :D

@Vogel612 feel free to add one ;-)

@Stephie I just dabble. I do like cooking, but I'm not involved enough (yet) to get into a cooking.se

@Vogel612 Considering the fact that a lot of our questions are clearly from people who don't cook... I think you're probably safe.

aside from that my SE participation basically boils down to janitorial ten to twenty second interactions

it's rare I answer and even rarer I ask

Everyone's always afraid to ask them, but basic questions are still good questions.

that's not really the issue in my case

@Jefromi Like that math question yesterday?

@Catija Sure!

@Stephie genetic, what?

@Huy some say a second x-chromosome is linked to IKEA shopping ^_^

haha I see

I love IKEA shopping too though

Pethaps Tuesday. If I can get a babysitter.

:D

anyone got the Lämplig IKEA cutting board? I kind of want to get it but some people are saying it bends & cracks easily but then again maybe they aren't treating it like they should

I wonder if they're putting it in the dishwasher.

that must be a huge dishwasher though :P

Some dishwashers have shallow bottom trays that are the entire frame of the dishwasher.

What number d'ja dial?

2

Have I won?

@Cerberus How are things in your hemisphere?

Haha wtf.

Is that your voice?

Things are dark here.

And yours?

@Cerberus It's the fabulous Jane Barbe — perhaps the world's greatest telephone voice ever!

@Cerberus We're just starting out on a long holiday weekend: Memorial Day — and the weather is very nice!

The world's, really?

She sounds like fun.

Very American.

It's very nice here as well!

We had 17 degrees and sunny.

Just the right temperature for a sunny day.

Jane was an amazing talent — she could deliver bad news, in the most delightful way!
