Befuddled I Am

Not because I like Green Eggs and Ham.

But because Barbie is a blockbuster movie.

I'm thinking that status is fake news, just to lure in movie goers.

[dropdeadfred]

it's wild how many didn't finish the race. such havoc

[fung_derf]

That's crazy! I was rooting for Grey Sombrero.
I think that jockey for Crisp just lost focus, the horse was wandering as the jockey kept looking around.
I think Belmont needs hedges.

Red Rum was an Irish champion Thoroughbred steeplechaser. He achieved an unmatched historic treble when he won the Grand National in 1973, 1974 and 1977, and also came second in the two intervening years, 1975 and 1976

You ever go back and watch Red Rum races?

[fung_derf]

He was OK I guess.

[fung_derf]

LOL....well to be fair, some of your posts are way over my head.
I'm a bit disappointed you didn't suggest I moderate your discussions though.

FWIW, I've tried over the last couple years to get people to try rational discussion. I was attacked then banned for it.

[gotmilk]

What would you have done ?

I sent Phil(Hot Rod Chevy) the following message.

"Be open to a world where you strongly do not understand,
or agree with gotmilk, but have a drink with him anyways."

I even suggested that Churak could moderate our discussions,
but Churak replied that he can not understand gotmilk enough
to agree or disagree with gotmilk.

Anyway, Phil replied to my suggestion...

[fung_derf]

Not sure you'd commit to this....

Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways.

[gotmilk]

Check in on yourself.

Anthony Bourdain said:
"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways.
Eat slowly. Tip your server.
Check in on your friends.
Check in on yourself.
Enjoy the ride."

Your woman's buttons, right or left type?

Position of buttons on a woman’s shirt, whether they are on the right or left, is symbolic of social status.

Back in the day, buttons on the right would indicate that you are a farmer or ‘commoner’ because you were dressing yourself. Buttons placed on the left, however, told the world that you were upper-class and dressed by servants.

Every strong person at times needs a weaker person for support.

I actually find that information quite funny.
I guess every liberal arts school based on gender must do the same now.
I wonder when the Catholic Church will start allowing transgendered men to become nuns?

[fung_derf]

I didn't feel good about that video. That poor bird was tortured and subjected to having to hold up that lazy dog.
That chick is the true hero here!

[gotmilk]

Students at Wellesley College, the elite Massachusetts women's school that counts Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright among its alumnae, voted to make transgender men and nonbinary students eligible for admission.

Wellesley’s “gender policy” states that it “invites applications from all those who live as women and consistently identify as women.

Close, but yes it's a living bug.

[fung_derf]

That DOES look quirky. Are they flying in a dragonfly?

[gotmilk]

it's simple...

My taste in life roams the quirky.

For example,
The following long-ago show I enjoyed, one may correctly say about me or anyone
that enjoyed watching it "There is something wrong with that person."

[dropdeadfred]

I'll look into it

[fung_derf]

I liked it a lot. Interesting concept. Add it to your VCR list.

If there's a theme to your picks, I can't figure out what it is.

Yes, that is a bris type hot dog desert. ddf is experimenting to find the ideal desert, but that one is too kinky for me. Perhaps ddf is looking for a kinky girlfriend, and for sure a Susie924 type need not apply.

But then, what we do in the shadows stay in the shadows.

[fung_derf]

Man, you went a long way back in time to find a post to link your question to. Thems were the days.

[fung_derf]

Is that a hot dog or attended a bris?

Cheesecake with Shortbread Crust

Shortbread Crust Ingredients
flour
sugar
egg
butter

Shortbread should always have a tender, melting texture, but be slightly crisp when you bite into it. It should not generally be damp or wet underneath. A classic shortbread recipe will also only have flour, butter and sugar as the ingredients and not egg, which could lead to excess moisture.

I went this way tonight.. I'll let you know tomorrow evening

New York Cheesecake with Classic Shortbread Crust


Ingredients
For the Shortbread Crust:

1 ½ cups (180g) flour
1/3 cup (66g) sugar
1 large egg
½ cup (4oz/ 113g) butter, at room temperature *I use salted, but use unsalted if you're sensitive to salt

For the Cheesecake Batter:

Four 8-ounce packages (32oz/ 908g total) cream cheese, full-fat, at room temperature
1 ½ cups (297g) granulated sugar
¼ c (30g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
¼ cup (60ml/ 56g) heavy whipping cream
3 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Make the Shortbread Crust:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan as follows: Spray the inside of the pan lightly with non-stick baking spray. Cut out a parchment round to fit the bottom of the pan and press it into the pan. Spray the parchment lightly with non-stick baking spray.
Add all the shortbread crust ingredients to a bowl and stir until all the flour is moistened with butter and a dough forms. Dump the dough into the prepared pan and press it into an even layer with your fingers so that it covers the bottom of the pan and comes about ½-inch up the sides.
Prick the dough all over with a fork approximately 20 times. Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool while you make the batter.
Make the Cheesecake:
Heat oven to 475 degrees F (246 degrees C).
Beat the cream cheese, sugar, flour, and salt with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until creamy and completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add the eggs and egg yolks and beat on medium-high speed until well combined, about 2 minutes more.
Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract and mix on low just until combined.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the crust. The batter will come up nearly to the top of the pan.
Set the pan on a baking sheet and place it in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Leaving the oven door closed, reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C) and bake for 50-60 minutes longer. To know when the cheesecake is done: Very gently shake the pan. You should see a small amount of movement, a slight wobble, in the center of the cheesecake, but it will be clearly set. If the center appears liquidy when you gently shake the pan, it needs longer to bake. Be patient. Cheesecake cannot be rushed.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door closed for 30 minutes.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate uncovered for about 2 hours, until chilled. Then, cover the cheesecake and continue refrigerating for a total time of at least 8 hours, or overnight.
