Piffka's Birthday!

Gee whiz. I just saw this... have been offline a lot. Thanks, littlek. I'm going to keep reading and am still waiting for the dinosaur cake to show up.

(man, I don't feel that old. Do I look that old???)

You are all hilarious and awfully nice. I've been chuckling, listening to bagpipe music <swoon>, thinking how swell it is that Satt remembered the hour (that's a mathematician for you) and how... my rep. preceeds me.

Do I talk too much, Quinn? Maaaaaaaybe! But, nahhh, my birthday twin, Clary, comes to my rescue! LOL

Do I like poetry? Yes, especially, maybe even mostly if it's doggerel. Thanks, Setanta.

Diane, as a matter-of-fact, I was just out admiring the moon. (Hey, somebody has to do it!)

Sozobe -- Thanks!

Margo -- Awww! And I was just thinking of you yesterday while I was at the grocery looking at some obviously inferiour Mango Chutney and wishing I still had some of yours!

Husker -- Thanks my friend!

Beth, Misti, Letty -- what a trio of sweeties! Thanks.

ThinkZinc? I'm honored! Was it that bagpipe music that called you? I loved Scotland, yes. Maybe I should emigrate?

Merry A, Gustav, Bear, Dog, and Seal -- You are vastly more entertaining and erudite than you know. I truly enjoy reading your stuff. I think you're hilarious.

Timber -- you're the man. Did you make it yourself?

Eva, Fealola -- never late when you're worth the wait.

Edgar, Ruach -- Thanks for stopping in. Ruach... ooops, you caught me!

Thanks! Thanks, littlek for thinking of me. (And I just signed up for your presidential campaign without having even read this. See, I'll be a loyal supporter.... :wink: )

Thank you to all of you for being such interesting friends, full of cheer & humor. You made my birthday special even if I didn't read this until today. <Where's that emoticon for blushing???>

Ahhh, here it is. Sorry I was late, glad you started eating the cake without me. Guess you had to dig in after the midgets left. (Hmmm, y'know, I once had an interesting encounter with a ....)

Is any cake left for me ? Sorry, all those meetings made me late....

forget the cake, wherez the booze ???

Happy Happy b'day !!

You wont like to have the leftover in halffull glasses, don't you? :wink:

Happy belated birthday, Piffka...hope you had a lovely day!

Hi G. -- Yep, either fudge cake or some whisky would be OK. Together??? I dunno.

Walter? LOL -- Half-full is better than empty.

Thanks, Lorna, I did have a great day. My family & friends were good to me.

Where is Piffka?
Here we are all awash in Piffka Happy Birthday wishes---and she is no where to be seen. Is she just shy? Coy? In a snit because we said she was one year older?

BBB

Hey! I'm here. I've posted just above you! Hey!
Hey! Over here... see?

Sorry, BBB, I had a busy couple of days and wasn't checking any new posts, just trying to keep up with old ones when I was online. But no, not in a snit or anything like that. I'd much rather be another year older than the alternative.

Thanks for wondering though.

Hi, Piffka! I have come to this blowout very late, but I wish you a Happy Unbirthday. Shades of the Squeedleboinker.

Hi Shoe, thanks! It is always nice to hear from you, birthday or unbirthday. Happy Holidays!

Piffka
I was just thinking of you, too. Yesterday was mango chutney making day - and this year it's hot! I was wondering who you were going to despatch to collect a jar

Margo -- Really? Hot? Oh, that sounds delicious!!! Are you just doing one batch this year? I did mention how delicious it was, I think, mixed with some cranberry sauce and eaten with roasted turkey, right?

I wish it could be me coming to pick up a jar -- someday I'll travel to Oz, I hope. As it happens, my daughter has a friend who will be going to school in Adelaide for a semester... she's an ex-Girl Scout, a straight-A student and all, but still I question whether she could be trusted with the goods! <sigh>

about 40 mangoes have been sacrificed - in 2 batches - hot and "there goes the roof of my mouth"!

Belated Happy Piffka!

Margo -- Yum! There goes the roof of my mouth@@@!!!!!!!

I just finished making a batch of chili con carne that was so hot they begged me to add more broth to it.

Hi Deb! Thanks and a Happy Solstice to you! It's a lovely time of year on either side of the equator.

I made some mango chutney out of raw green mangoes over the weekend - too bad, we polished it off with spring rolls...

Take abt fusion food !!!

Sounds good, G.

Better late than never, Piffka- Happy Birthday!

Oh Gautam, aam chutney, yum

Thanks Phoenix!

Y'know, Clary and I share the same birthday.....

Happy Belated Birthday to Clary, too!
