I just mashed ripe bananas in my hair...
 

now off to blow dry it - The View said it was a great conditioner - this better work!

Did you rinse it out first?

I did - I brushed it out and am trying to get the meatloaf in before I dry it....it wasn't too easy to rinse out I'll tell you!

Get the meatloaf in where? Your hair?

LOL!! I am a big multi-tasker...got it in the oven and the baked potatoes, Man I HATE to cook, but thats another thread.

now get on over to my sex thread and plug a number in while I blow dry my hair!

yoiks!

Don't get your tasks mixed up - could get messy, what with the banana, the meatloaf, the blowing and the sex....

bananas and sex...hmmm...

Anyway, it is ok - the bananas in the hair that is...I think the hot oil treatment works better....

Let me guess...western CT.....near NY? :3_eyes:

Burt's Bees makes this avacado butter hair conditioner stuff that works awesome! I've never tried bananas before, but I did try mayo. Yuuuuuuuck....

No, xo - why, do I seem New Yorker ish?

seak - I really like Burts Bees products - I will give it a try...is your hair thick or thin? I heard about mayo - it didn't work?

My hair is thin yet fuzzy. Every girl's dream.
The mayo didn't really do anything, and I couldn't get that sandwichy smell out of my hair until the next time I washed it.

Eeeew.

Hey - I forgot to mention I'm making meatloaf for dinner too! (however it's only 3:40 or so here, so I won't actually be cooking it for a while)

my hair is thick, so I am always looking to thin it out...

I am sure your meatloaf will taste MUCH better - I only strive for edible...what do you put in yours? First, I use turkey burger, an egg, some bread crumbs, milk and a tablespoon or so of tomatoe soup, mush it all together then the rest of the soup goes on top....

Well, tonight I am making stuffed meatloaf.

What I do is take the lean ground beef, and mix it up with a couple of eggs, some Panko breading, assorted bits of bell pepper, some Johnny's seasoning, woooshdeshire sauce (that's how my dad says it), a little soy sauce & some minced garlic, then let it set/ soak for a couple hours in the fridge.

Then.... I cut up some mushrooms and some red onion and saute 'em in butter & add a bit more Johnny's.

After the meat has soaked, you squish or roll it into a thin rectangle, and spread the mushroom stuff on top, and then roll it up like a jelly roll.

You put it in your pan seam side down, and squish down the two open edges to seal it, then you cover it with strips of bacon, and then cover it in ketchup to seal the whole mess in.

Bake at 350 until it's done! Yum!

Normally I make my meatloaf with the mushroom & onions incorporated into the meat mixture, but I thought I would do something different tonight.

julie.....you're single and you're making meatloaf. ~red flag~

unless....my assumption of your recent reference to your 'ex' misses the existence of your current beau. anyway.......wouldn't yours be called Turkey loaf?

Mmmm...meat. Are there any Veg's here? Oy. America eats itself to death and all it thinks about is mmmm...meat.

ItsJulie, you should really know better than to believe anything you see on The View.

But where is the garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, and onion salt? You gotta have lots of seasoning... and adding a little sausage to the ground meat is yummy...

lumber - it is the first time I have cooked in a long time - I do have kids and I guess they have to eat! Turkey loaf is easy!

Seak - I admit, I half read your post through all the ingredients, then when I got to the saute'd part - I stopped. Too much for me!

My partner used to use mayo and I hate the stuff. I made her promise never to use it again as long as I keep her supplied with this:
http://usa.lush.com/cgi-bin/lushdb/9...nd=00007:upd=y

I may have to try their Beer shampoo.

Just based on the name.

I was actually afraid to click to see the ingredients, as the "haircare" page only lists the name ...

I love Lush products... I totally stock up on their soap whenever I am in England and now they are in the US!!! Woohoo! The solid shampoo bars are really good and you can't go wrong with any of their soaps. I totally love all of their products. Get me up to CHI-TOWN NOW!!!

I love the figs and leaves soap, and the caca rouge mama is the best henna I've ever used. Their bath bombs suck though, imo, especially the ones with a bunch of dried flowers and crap in them.

Do they leave nasty spots on the lawn too? 'Arr 'arr 'arr 'arrrr!



How the hell to you type piraty laughing anyhow?

Yo ho ho!

It rocks. I think the second ingredient is Irish Stout.

My partner is totally addicted to Lush products. And I must say, she almost always smells delish, so it's not all bad. :love:

:smack:


I shou' turn in me parrot an' be keelhauled!

I always think that their products make me smell good... I've been told that I smell like a cookie (thanks to Honey, I washed the Kids Soap) to "whatever it is your wearing, you smell tasty!"

I swear by the Olive Oil Soap, love the Demon in the Dark, wish you could make a hot drink out of red rooster... there was one that they used to have in the UK that was for guys and dang, it smelled sooooo good. They don't have it anymore.

I'm too excited that I can buy this stuff in the US.... aaahhhh... must... work... stop... thinking... about.... soap.

Most of the CT'ers in the eastern part of the state don't put food on their heads.
Well....at least they don't admit it. :lol:

Maybe you don't know the eastern part of CT too well! You should see what we do with Cool Whip! :eek:

We discussed an assortment of natural products in another thread.

Which is where I turned a lot of people on to some Really cool hippie shampoo.

Thanks to the website I have also tried several of their other products.

The shampoo beats the heck out of mashed bananas.

Showing my age again, but this thread reminds me of this song.

And I'm still lovin' my hippie shampoo too!

Julie, have you tried the Elvis conditioning regimen? Bananas *and* peanut butter on the hair.

I dont think I could do that one - I gag at the smell of peanut butter. :yelsick:

Sigh...I've been away too long....sigh :grouphug:

Just whatever you do, don't try and remove it with a bone.

my meatloaf is:

2 lbs lean ground beef (93/7 if I can find it)
2 pkgs garlic n herb soup mix (knorr is best)
2 cups iltalian breadcrumbs
2 eggs
chopped garlic, dehydrated onion, garlic powder, tony charie's cajun seasoning, fresh ground garlic pepper, teeny bit of A1 (or other fruit sauce)

2 bread pans
2 matching size risers (like what you cool cookies on, only they fit in the bread pan)

mash all together, half, put each half in a pan on top of the risers (which keep the grease away from the meat), cook at 350 for 30 minutes or so, then add garlic toast to the oven, cook those 10 minutes and pull it all out. Top toast with shredded cheese and top loaves with a mixture of worchestershire sauce and A1. Serve with garlic 4 cheese mashed tatoes and veggie of choice.

mmmmm good eatin.

BANALITY -- degree of resemblance to a banana

Applying DQ ice cream to your hair leaves it wonderfully soft...At age eleven, I got in a little disagreement with another girl, and she mooshed her DQ ice cream cone in my hair (vanilla, no chocolate coating).

I was really upset at first, but after I washed and blow-dried my hair--Lovely!

That might actually make sense, since DQ is an edibile oil product.

I get positive comments about the way I smell wearing anything in the Ginger range by Lush. And the talcum powder comes with sparkles for an innocent but alluring cleavage! "Am I all sparkly? My goodness, yes! Its just my talc, I wouldn't normally wear body glitter to the pub......"

Oh, sure. I've heard that one a million times! Come on, girl. Admit it--you wear sparkly stuff every chance you get (I know I certainly do) ;)

Sundae Girl, welcome to the cellar. I'm not nearly as suspicious as Brianna is, especially after reading your other post in the Celebrity Death Downer thread. I must say I know nothing about the people you talked about or the political climate surrounding them, but you sound sharp, articulate and interesting. But even matching one out of three puts you in good company here. Welcome.

Um--since when does liking to wear sparkly stuff make a person suspicious? bigV, you can be such a downer sometimes.

Actually I think Brianna is closer to the truth than I'd usually admit :)

But hey - having lurked here for a while it seems like the kind of place where a woman is allowed a low cut top & high brow conversation!

Thanks for the welcome!

The sparkles are insidious.
Do you know how much ribbing I get at work when I show up wearing sparkles and all I did was hug the little women (who luvs sparkles) before leaving?

I'm not a downer. I'm just simple. If I see sparkly cleavage, I say, Oooo, look at the sparkles! I don't think "she thinks that's all innocent and stuff, but I know better, she's ... she's..." see? I just don't think that way. Hanging out here builds my cynic muscles and I could use the work, obviously.

They allow you more than one in Canada now? I hadn't heard that. I knew they were up on gay marriage, but I hadn't realized plural marriage had been enacted. Santorum was right, it is a slippery slope.

Christ, don't you people have anything better to do then correct other people's spelling and grammar?

Fine, busted. :biggrin:

Christ didn't do it, wolf did.


(slink back under my rock)

Do you mean:

I'll slink back under my rock.

or

Silent, slink back under my rock.

or

mrnoodle slinks back under my rock.

or what?

--->> :wink: <<--- Just kidding smiley!

it was "slinks back under my rock"

then i noticed the lack of agreement, and took off the 's'. now it doesn't make sense, but at least it's correcter.

Hey if you want to perform the experiment, you could post a picture of yourself in a low cut top and then start a high brow conversation. ;)

I enjoy cooking, which doubtless is one reason I'm a knife salesman, mostly about kitchen knives.

Tonight was bubble-and-squeak, though of the three household members I was the only one eating it.

Pre-cooked cut-up potatoes, smashed into lumps, blanched cabbage, julienned carrots and zucchini, copious black pepper, salt to taste, diced Spam, and chopped-up bacon, fried for its fat, all stirred up well together. Pour off some of the bacon fat in whatever dish you store it in for tomorrow's fried eggs, and shove some of the mixture down into the frying pan until it's a flat cake in the bottom; this can be any thickness up to completely filling the frying pan. Sometimes it actually does both squeak and bubble. It's hearty peasanty food. Cook it on medium or medium-low heat until heated through and the bottom of the 'squeak is crisping, browning and holding together. Loosen it from the bottom of the frying pan with a wide spatula (it's a bit inclined to stick from the mashing down), invert a dinner plate on the pan and turn the whole thing upside down to lay the bubble-and-squeak on the plate. Top with cheese if desired; cheddar is good, as is muenster -- I had both.

Mmmmmm hearty and peasanty is my style for sure!!!! Anything with potatoes & meat - and cabbage is a bonus!!

That bubble & squeak sounds fannnnntastic! (minus the spam..... I can't do spam)

If I might suggest reposting bubble and squeak to one of the recipe threads in food?? That way we can find it again!

What with the gas shortage and all. :fart:

Smartazz.... okay. It's really just The Frugal Gourmet's recipe. Saw it, tried it, liked it, and really, every quantity in there is pretty much "to taste." You could make this stuff in the dark. I'll go find which book it's in...

...first heard of the stuff in The Wind In The Willows -- Mr. Toad gets a plateful from the gaolkeeper's daughter during his prison term.

"...hug the [L]ittle [W]omen..."

Maybe he's a bibliophile. ;)
