@marantou You look beautiful in that picture, by the way.

Andrew Leach

@medica Really? Pudding is something completely different.

tchrist

@medica Custard is not American pudding!!!!

medica

@tchrist Esp if you are Reg.

@Arrowfar google.com/search?q=have+gotten yep, but see how "have gotten" is used

@Robusto. Robsto-san. I wrote to Grace Note of Stock Exchange ”As an 81 year-old Japanese who was educated to the bone in Confucian moral environment that attaches the most importance to courtesy, manner, and order, I think I know importance of keeping courtesy and choosing right words. But I was angry at that time - --. I don’t like to use them, I need not, and will not use them in future.”

tchrist

@cc I have something for you.

Yoichi Oishi

I’m very happy that Medica accepted my apology, and the case was resolved in the way of our saying, 雨降って地固まる (After being washed by heavy rains, the earth (relationship) is solidified stronger)

medica

9:01 PM

@tchrist That's what I'm trying to find out. Pudding and custard are different here, but I find it odd to have powdered custard...

c c

@tchrist really?

@AndrewLeach omgosh, that looks wonderful!

c c

@tchrist it's from ~~French~~ latin so?

Andrew Leach

9:02 PM

Not tried that recipe, but it was easily found.

medica

@AndrewLeach I think these words (pudding, custard) mean something completely different in our respective Englishes.

Andrew Leach

And in AmE...?

medica

@AndrewLeach thanks!

tchrist

@cc We used to use it for men.

Andrew Leach

@medica What do you make them mean?

medica

9:03 PM

@AndrewLeach Pudding is a milk and egg based, kind of bland desert.

tchrist

@AndrewLeach Testing testing testing: What do you put in trifle, custard or pudding?

c c

@tchrist ah ok, I see

Andrew Leach

@tchrist Custard is the middle layer.

c c

now it's "partner" I guess

tchrist

@AndrewLeach Right answer.

Wanted to make sure we weren’t being afflicted by Nouns in Collision.

medica

9:04 PM

@AndrewLeach custard if a filling, richer than pudding, harder to make (I think); I used to use it as a bottom layer in yarts.

Yarts?

@medica tapioca

!!define yarts

@cc It means I ain't got time to learn your $5 words

Mahnax

Tart, people. C'mon.

tchrist

9:05 PM

@Mitch That’s pudding, not custard.

Jarvis the Bot

@cc No definition found.

medica

@Mitch (rice!)

@cc lol tarts

c c

tart, oops sorry

tchrist

@Mahnax They prefer to be called acerbic people.

medica

my fault

Mitch

9:05 PM

@Mahnax takes offense

c c

I thought I was learning a word

medica

lol

Andrew Leach

Tarts are open-top pies here.

Mitch

rethinks. blushes

Andrew Leach

Among other things.

Mahnax

9:06 PM

@Mitch jeers

tchrist

@AndrewLeach Here, too. I can show you pictures from my local bakery.

Mitch

winks

tchrist

And they can be either sweet or savory.

Andrew Leach

What do you put in a savoury tart?

Mitch

The inside of donuts, cream filled donuts

@AndrewLeach whatever she wants!

medica

9:07 PM

@AndrewLeach um... I would make a shell, cook it, put custard on the shell, then layer of fruit (like thinly sliced pears), glaze, bake, and those were my fruit tarts.

tchrist

@AndrewLeach Stilton, leeks. That sort of thing.

Mitch

!!rimshot

Jarvis the Bot

@Mitch Hey, diggy diggy

tchrist

Walnuts.

Andrew Leach

@tchrist Oh right. Rather like quiche then.

c c

9:07 PM

quiche lorraine

Mitch

hm... I would never have connected the two, savoury tart and quiche.

medica

@Mitch nor I

Andrew Leach

Quiche lorraine is a particular type of quiche.

medica

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 I saw that last night. So awwww....

cornbread ninja 麵包忍者

9:09 PM

We made reddit today, kids.

Mitch

quiche has more egg in it. I think.

medica

it does

Mitch

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Is that good? um ... mom?

medica

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Is that yours?

cornbread ninja 麵包忍者

reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/2bebmp/…

@medica no

tchrist

9:10 PM

@AndrewLeach Well, no eggs except in the crust maybe. Think of an open-faced fruit tart, but use savory stuff instead.

Rosemary.

I don’t remember. They make them fresh daily. Dangerously delish.

medica

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 ah! Hmm. Not a stellar question/statement. But good nonetheless, I guess.

Andrew Leach

@tchrist I don't think I've ever had anything like that. We just don't do it.

tchrist

I had never heard of it either.

marantou

@JasperLoy: Goodnight! And goodnight/evening/afternoon/morning to all....time to sleep for me.

Jasper Loy

@marantou OK, see you in your dreams.

medica

9:12 PM

@marantou nite, and welcome

Andrew Leach

@tchrist We do quiche, with various types of fillings, including vegetable and meat in the gunk that holds it all together.

@marantou Night!

tchrist

The little tarts with seasonal fruits de bois are super-appealing this time of the year.

medica

It's fun to have husband and wife on site.

Jasper Loy

@AndrewLeach Wrong person, lol.

medica

@tchrist excellent.

Jasper Loy

9:12 PM

@medica They are?

@AndrewLeach Ok, I’m going down to the corner bakery right now on a “research mission”. BRB.

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Awwwww

@medica Ah, how did you figure that out? Because of the concubine?

Yes

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 the bot?

Jasper Loy

Yeah, the bot is shit.

marantou

@JasperLoy: Ok...this is creepy...don't say that ...skullpatrol was right :P simply say goodnight!

medica

ah.

Jasper Loy

@marantou OK. Goodnight to your husband too!

medica

9:17 PM

@marantou if you like, you can link to the comment.

Jasper Loy

@medica I remember it.

user116848

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 What do you write 'mustache kitfox' for? I never get it.

medica

:) ok

Jasper Loy

Jul 17 at 20:46, by skullpatrol

@JasperLoy It sounds really creepy.

Andrew Leach

@JasperLoy I suspect that mustachify have disabled whatever API they had exposed.

Too much traffic from here, probably.

medica

9:19 PM

@JasperLoy Yeah, that comment is different than that of Goodnight Irene. (A sone that Ry Cooder recorded that was a great rendition.)

Jasper Loy

@Arrowfar It tells the bot to return the avatar of the person.

user116848

@JasperLoy Return the avatar? So avatars are misplaced?

Jasper Loy

@Arrowfar I mean the bot is supposed to display the avatar of X in chat when you use that command.

marantou

@medica : which comment? which link? See?...I can't sleep now...

user116848

@JasperLoy Oh, that. I see

Jasper Loy

9:20 PM

@marantou See above link that I displayed big.

marantou

@JasperLoy:I'll pass on the wishes to the maharaja

medica

@marantou Jasper stated:
@marantou OK, see you in your dreams.

Jasper Loy

I am Freddy on Elm Street, lol.

hardly... but that is creepy.

@marantou sorry to confuse you.

@marantou You are clearly mot a technophobe! :)

Jasper Loy

9:25 PM

@medica Have you thought of changing your username back?

medica

@tchrist I live in the woods. The only things we don't have are fraise de bois.

@JasperLoy no, never.

@JasperLoy I would not do that.

Jasper Loy

@medica How are you and Robusto now? I am such a busybody.

medica

@JasperLoy who isn't? We ignore each other.

Jasper Loy

@medica Haha, this is so funny. It's like some drama.

medica

@JasperLoy beleive it or not, I don't do well with volatile people. Ha! I wonder why that can be! He is unpredictable, which I find... well, let's just say, it's better that way.

Jasper Loy

9:29 PM

@medica I have been hurt to various extents by the chat messages here. Over time, I become less and less sensitive to what is said here.

medica

Unpredictability and volatility, my brother was like that.

@JasperLoy I have never reached insensitivity. One of my problems.

@JasperLoy and God knows, by my age, I should be wiser. But I'm not, and why that is, is a mystery to me.

I might take that mystery unsolved to my grave.

People in the ER can be very volatile and unpredictable. And even violent. But I'm OK there. Probably because of the imbalance of power.

Mitch

and because it is expected.

tchrist

@Andrew Back. Too much French on the menu. They are calling them savory mini-galettes. They also have blue cheese gougères, which doesn’t look like a tart.

medica

One time I was examining a patient about to be incarcerated. He wanted (at Mitch, yes, maybe) a medical excuse to avoid going to jail

I didn't give him one, of course, so he stood up and smashed his face into one of those large OR lights that we have in the rooms.

Mitch

You can do that?

medica

9:34 PM

yes

Mitch

Can I have a medical excuse for not going to traffic court?

I'm feeling a little anxious.

Jasper Loy

@Mitch Did you jaywalk?

Andrew Leach

@tchrist So much French and no quiches? Oh well. I trust you bought something anyway.

medica

He smashed (lol, yes, if you live in PA) his face badly, not the light. That kept him out of jail for 72 hours.

Mitch

"Officer, I'm just trying to optimize my travel time."

medica

9:36 PM

@tchrist that's so strange. In Quebec, a gallette is a kind of soft cookie.

Andrew Leach

@JasperLoy You can't jaywalk in Britain.

Mitch

@JasperLoy I don't not jaywalk. crosswalks are for n00bs.

Cars and bikes are annoyances.

Jasper Loy

So hard to answer questions these days. The simple ones are always taken up so fast.

Mitch

When I'm biking, cars and walkers are annoying.

Andrew Leach

@JasperLoy Sorry about that. I have reached the rep cap today. First time in some months.

medica

9:38 PM

@tchrist Recettes : Biscuits, galettes et barres tendres

Mitch

WTH are barres tendres?

Jasper Loy

@AndrewLeach Ah, good. I think you can get a unicorn painting if you reach 200k.

medica

@Mitch umm... like granola bars, but softer

Mitch

@medica extra corn syrup?

Andrew Leach

@JasperLoy Just a couple of hundred years to go then.

medica

9:40 PM

maybe. or honey. I don't make them anymore.

Jasper Loy

It seems that the great Barrie has retired from the site.

Mitch

@JasperLoy Whatif you already have a unicorn painting? Do you get a real one? That would be awesome.

medica

I have noticed.

do you know if that's so?

Mitch

@JasperLoy he answered all the good questions. He's done.

has he just not visited lately?

tchrist

Mitch

9:41 PM

mmmm..whatever that is.

tchrist

That’s one of those savory galletes.

medica

that looks wonderful!

user116848

@medica Is Robusto your husband? I didn't know.

medica

wow, I like your bakery!

Jasper Loy

@Arrowfar NO

medica

9:42 PM

@Arrowfar lolol

Matt Эллен

@Mitch he was here 1 hour ago, according to his profile

Jasper Loy

LOL

user116848

Oh, Sorry my bad!

user116848

:)

user116848

I thought he was

Jasper Loy

9:43 PM

@Robusto, @Arrowfar thinks you are @medica's husband, lol

medica

@MattЭллен MariLou is also absent. Is she on vacation?

tchrist

I took a picture before I took a bite.

Andrew Leach

@Mitch But he hasn't answered since April 24.

medica

@JasperLoy I thought that was pretty funny as well.

user116848

@medica So what was all that talk about Robusto ignoring you, lol ?

Matt Эллен

9:44 PM

@medica she hasn't been around for a few days.

medica

@tchrist Is there meat in that? It looks like there is.

Jasper Loy

@Arrowfar You can ignore a person in chat by clicking somewhere.

user116848

:)

tchrist

@medica That’s roasted red bell pepper (sweet), zucchini, and eggplant, all set atop a little bit of parmesan.

medica

@JasperLoy oh, yes, I forgot he put me on sitewide ignore once for, umm, 12 hours?

Jasper Loy

9:45 PM

@MattЭллен It seems that the Maria in chat yesterday won't return to this chat, sad panda...

Matt Эллен

oh well

Jasper Loy

@medica Maybe he is still ignoring you.

Matt Эллен

I need to sleep. good night!

Jasper Loy

@MattЭллен She might be married already, lol.

tchrist

They don’t have the same set of flavors/ingredients in their savory ones each day. It changes.

medica

9:46 PM

@tchrist ah, then it's the eggplant. I would have been surprised if there was meat, but it does look delicious.

Jasper Loy

@MattЭллен See you in your dreams.

tchrist

@medica I don’t do meat.

medica

mmm, you are lucky to have such a lovely bakery.

tchrist

Some other flavors here, maybe rosemary. Not sure.

medica

@tchrist oh, I didn't know that. Neither do I.

medica

@tchrist Once I scrambled up some duck eggs, and went to my garden for some fresh rosemary. I served it as a snack to my youngest's friends. The child went home and told his mom, That Mrs. ___ is really strange. How so, the mom asked. "She made us scrambled duck eggs with pine needles" he told her. :D

user116848

@JohanLarsson Hello! Johan

tchrist

@JasperLoy No knickersnitting in this chat!

Johan Larsson

@Arrowfar hej

medica

9:49 PM

@JasperLoy Ah, well, it's nice of you. Nice thought, thank you.

user116848

@JohanLarsson hej :)

Jasper Loy

Too many hejs.

tchrist

@medica Heh. I get that all the time. I often bring roasted root vegetables to family Thanksgiving dinners, which are all the root veggies coated with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and salt, then baked in a single layer of a cookie-sheet till soft. Add brussel sprouts if you feel like it.

user116848

It is Swedish for 'hi'. I think it is different :)

medica

@tchrist My favorites... roasted root vegetables. Sooo good in the late fall.

tchrist

9:51 PM

The little ones go ick about the pine needles.

medica

@tchrist haha. so I found!

Jasper Loy

No idea what root veges are.
