Interfecus Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Janey, it seems that heaven just got an internet connection . Ask Ira, he got an email from god just yesterday. (Please note that I don't actually know anything about this email, it wasn't a joke (as far as I know) like Ira's email) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janey Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 I wondered what you were talking about for a minute there, but have finally clicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interfecus Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 I doubt the voting is still open, but I'd vote for tiramisu, my favourite dessert. It doesn't look like there's much support for it though. I wonder why? Tiramisu contains the two most delicious substances on earth (coffee and chocolate, of course) plus all sorts of other tasty stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 oops, sorry, Janey, that was me. Interfecus and I were playing around with our email's return addresses, I forgot to change mine back. Hmmm, I don't think I've ever had tiramisu. Sounds good though. People around here seem to have some kinda strange fear of chocolate or something. Go to pak&save or new world and there'll be 5 different brands of hokey pokey and only a single container of chocolate icecream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joze Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 maybe I should do both, better do it tonight though as I intend to be rolled through the door tomorrow night. Although I suppose I can make the tiramisu in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joze Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 this is the tiramisu recipe I follow very loosely http://www.heavenlytiramisu.com/rcp-101.htm operative word is loosely, I translate brandy into kahlua and 2-3 cups not 2/3 choc velvet is handy too and I use a supermarket choc trifle sponge.

Interfecus Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I made quite a lot of russian fudge this evening so I'll bring it along as an extra for the BBQ . Also, if anybody wants some free guppies I can spare 4 or 5 of each sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janey Posted February 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 oooh inter you are my best friend! I LOVE russian fudge I'm not sure if anyone is after guppies at the moment, I have never had much luck with them myself. I have managed to get 10 bristlenoses of my mums partner Richard for you and Ira to share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joze Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 just to check.....are we still on in light of the traffic and weather warnings? At this rate the only way through maybe by train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joze Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I am debating coming today as I have a 4wd with extra high center of gravity, the normal high winds in wellington are tricky with it, but with the gale warning in place and the predicted 140kph I am wondering if its better to not risk it.

Joze Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 has anyone spoken to Warren since he left? I just got word they shut the track road this afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 On the way home I got a call from the wifey. Power was out AGAIN. At least this time it was only out for 6 hours. I think doing fish stuff kills the power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 I've got a skimmer that would probably work if I had it set up the way it was intended...But it's intended to be run in a sump, I don't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajbroome Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Folks, So, how did it go? Did anyone take photos (Caryl, you *must* have some surely?)? Did Warren make it? Curious minds want to know! Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janey Posted February 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 It went very well thanks Andrew Thanks to all who came, we had a great turn out (34 was the final count I think), and everyone who said they were going to come turned up! We had members from Kapi-Mana (obviously), Marlborough, Hawkes Bay, Upper Hutt and Wellington clubs. It was lovely to meet Joze (& family), Dark (& Demi & Sean) and Interfecus, hopefully we will see you all again at future events. It was also good to see you again Ira. Warren did make it down, and I am hoping that he made it home again safely :-? Someone is bound to have some photos, and Caryl took one of the people who post in the Fishroom which she will no doubt post when she gets back to Blenheim tonight.

Pies Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 I would just like to add that the highlight of the day was the russian fuge. Interfecus you are welcome to come to any event we have, infact you are welcome to come over to my house and visit me any time you want, or even a few times a week if you have time (time to make the fudge that is). If I am not home just leave it in the letter box or PM me and i'll give you my postal address. PieMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
