Discussions

Noticed many birthday threads since I've been here over a year ago.So what do you think of having one birthday thread once a month, when BC members can share and wish the birthday person/s all the best? Of course someone has to volunteer to start the thread each month. It's sad when someone has to say "happy birthday to me.' October has still some weeks left? Any volunteers.

    If we are trying to have an enjoyable BC community, is this not one way, at least to know and wish a member birthday wishes?

      mine's over and done but I don't mind wishing a happy birthday to my fellow BCers
    1. Floormodel

      It's not hard to figure out

    Mine is over but It's June 21st.
    1. agapelife
      @Shiley - Hope we find someone/s to start the thread in June for the birthdays of the month, preferably someone who's birthday is not in June. Would you like to choose a month Shiley?
      @Onchong - Which month is that?

    Happy Birthday to the folks with the special coming up (TJ, the Devil and alivasim).

    I think have a birthday thread is a great idea. We need to have a birthday Calendar so we know when everyone's day is.

    I hope everyone gets to enjoy their upcoming birthdays!
    1. TJlubrano
      Why thank you
    2. agapelife
      @ Richer44 -Great idea!. A birthday calendar. How do you propose that we do it. Should a few people take one month of the year, so when the month comes up, these people will start the birthday discussion wishing all those having birthdays during that month? Do you want to take October as mine is this month? I am willing to start the November thread for birthdays. So any November birthdays, give me a shout, the date and will do the thread.

      @agapelife - Ideally, I would love to see BC with an option to add your birthday on your profile (actually, it might already be there... I am not sure). Then they could have your birthday's automatically coming up on the front page or anywhere on the site. I have seen this done with other forums so I know it is possible.

      As far as taking one month at a time. I have no issues with taking October but I have no clue when everyone's birthday is. I guess I can just use this thread to creat it. I hope everyone has posted their October Birthday's!

      Any other suggestions would be great and welcomed!

      I wish you a Happy Birthday in advance ^_^!! Have a lovely day!

    @Richer44 - BC does not have that option.If you're willing start a discussion like "Born in the month of October, make yourself visible for happy wishes..etc." or something in that vein! Thanks Nathan!
    1. Richer44
      Sounds good! I will start that now

      Madeleine's

      Was this fast enough?

      Petit Fours Cookies

      Madeleines



      This cookie has its very own cookie pan. The characteristics are a shell on the front and a hump on the back. You can make the batter and take it out to use , as needed everyday for up to a week. Take out warm up and pipe.

      Grease and flour the pans.

      8 oz butter softened
      8 oz sugar
      1 t vanilla
      1 t lemon zest
      4 large eggs
      1 egg yolk
      12 oz AP flour
      pinch of salt
      2 1/4 t baking powder
      ---------------
      Finish with 10 X sprinkled on top

      1) Cream butter, sugar, zest and salt.
      2) Sift baking powder and flour together.
      3) Alternate the dry and eggs, ending with the dry.
      4) Stir until well combined.
      5) Pipe batter into mold with #5 tube about 3.4 full. Start at the base, go up and come back.

      Bake 375ยบ for 8 to 10 minutes. The will puff up a bit and be brown on the backside. Remove from pans immediately by tapping the mold/mat; they will fall out.

      Serve plain, with 10 X sugar, a lemon glaze or with tempered chocolate. be sure to let the edges show. Serve fresh out of the oven in a warm container.

      Freezes nicely.
