@ KitKat +1.... or -1? I agree with that sentiment....
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-02T11:02:58-05:00
@Creeper: What did ya get?
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T11:02:59-05:00
Morning everyone. Did I miss anything?
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T11:04:15-05:00
@Creeper, I hope it was KittenCorps swag.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-02T11:11:14-05:00
*waves @CB* It was a quiet weekend here and for me. Lots of ice on Sunday and it's still slippery when I go outside.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T11:18:39-05:00
How's it going?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T11:22:56-05:00
Harumph! I come in and everyone hides again
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-02T11:26:43-05:00
@LZ: I'm not hiding. I'm still jealous of you, is all.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T11:28:06-05:00
Awe, don't be jelly. It's okay
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T11:28:47-05:00
I'm just checking in myself, @LZ. Had a good weekend.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T11:29:54-05:00
Good! My weekend was nothing to write home about
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-02T11:30:11-05:00
@LZ: Can I haz the avocado dressing recipe?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T11:30:41-05:00
I put it on the forum
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T11:33:29-05:00
Funny, my wife made guac this weekend.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T11:36:29-05:00
Weird, I didn't know you could even post in the Main Forum without choosing the General Discussion link. Does anyone know what happened to @Da Wolfette? She was going to set up ctegories and stuff.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-02T11:38:37-05:00
@CB: You had quac and didn't share? First Kitten Con we have, you are tasked with making enough guacamole for all of us.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-02T11:41:03-05:00
I didn't get anything. :( I had to deliver desserts to a client. Then the subways went express and now I'm waiting for another bus. Bleh.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T11:41:14-05:00
Careful, @Geist. If I make guac, thet means You'll have to Eat it! I cannot be held responsible for any gastric distress suc consumption might cause.
... Of course, you're welcome to some of the leftover from yesterday.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T11:41:35-05:00
Be advised, if you follow the recipe I posted: it is spicier than standard guacamole, butI like it that way.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T11:46:40-05:00
My recipe for "guacamole" follows:
1. Cut up some avocados.
2. Scoop the slimy green stuff out of the center and put it into a bowl.
3. Remove the pits. (Easy to find, they're enormous!)
4. Mash up the remaining slimy green stuff.
5. Serve with some kind of tortilla chips.
6. When people complain about the taste, tell them to add their own seasoning.
7. Exit through preplanned escape route. (You do have a preplanned escape route, don't you?)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-02T11:48:20-05:00
I forgot that LZ has intestine of steel. Spicy is no no for me.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-02T11:49:29-05:00
@CB: so it's mashed up avocados and nothing else. Which is nice since love the taste of plain avocado.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-02T11:49:32-05:00
Yes to all the spicy.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T11:51:29-05:00
@Geist, watch out for the little bits of skin in there ... and bits of pit I may have missed ... and blood from my finger from when I tried to cut the things in half ...
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T11:52:50-05:00
Geist, if you don't want the spice, hust don't use the jalapeños. Still keep the chili powder, though. Chili-P isn't spicey, just flavorful
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T11:52:55-05:00
... also, don't forget: I double dip!
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T11:53:56-05:00
Chili powder CAN be spicy if you get habanero chili powder!
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T11:54:57-05:00
Ground Cayenne pepper is also considered "chili powder."
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T11:56:57-05:00
Ewww, @LZ's guac has cilantro in it! I HATE cilantro! Eww ... eww ... ewwwwww!!!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-02T11:56:59-05:00
*grabs squirt gun* I can take the skin, the pit, even the blood. But I draw the line at DOUBLE DIPPING!!!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T11:56:59-05:00
Yeah, but I'm talking about the stuff labeled "chili powder." Ground cayenne, although technically a chili powder, is labeled "cayenne pepper" so you don't get them confused and nake a grievous error
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T12:00:08-05:00

The discussions we've had on guacamole in this comments section far exceed the discussions of the game.

Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-02T12:02:19-05:00
@Creeper: So let's discuss the game. When I play against all of you, I expect to win every game. :-P
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-02T12:02:37-05:00
Mm... salt.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-02T12:03:15-05:00
I'm super competitive. I like to think i'm really good too, but i usually end up losing.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T12:03:17-05:00
Hey, how about that "Cheetah Butt" card? Isn't it great?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T12:04:01-05:00
Cheetah butt is great, but my favorite so far is the pope of nope
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T12:04:27-05:00
We had a discussion on salt and I missed it? Someone please post a synopsis on the forum.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T12:05:30-05:00
Nopestradamus is pretty good too. In fact all of the Nope cards are. I'd love to have a hand full of Nope cards!
lol the salt conversation..... there were two technically. We decided that salt is salt (kosher or regular), and tastes the same unless it comes from a different place or has additives in it (such as iodine). Kosher salt only tastes different IF left in it's larger crystal form and not be allowed to dissolve.
@CB: Gasp, your right! OMG, that changes everything!
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-02T12:09:45-05:00
smoked salt, fleur de sel, black salt... mmm.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T12:10:56-05:00
Okay, Creeper, I've only heard of... none of those
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-02T12:12:44-05:00
i have 6 varieties of salt in my kitchen at the moment. wait... maybe more. table salt, sea salt, kosher, fluer de sel, black salt, smoked salt, peruvian sea salt...
Salt only varies in flavor by texture (kosher crystrals) or variances in chemical impurities (Sea salt, additives, physical location variables (also applies to sea salts as well as rock salts), ect.)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-02T12:15:35-05:00
@LZ: I'm surprised you haven't heard of all, if not more, of the different salts that Creeper has listed. I've heard of all of them but mostly used kosher salt.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T12:16:10-05:00
Oh, I also have the butter-flavored popcorn salt
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T12:17:42-05:00
My general attitude is that salt is salt. Also, my local grocery store doesn't have any of that fancy stuff
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-02T12:18:14-05:00
mmm.... salt.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-02T12:18:50-05:00
yeah, you have to go to uppity marketplaces to get the uppity stuff.
Yeah, and it's usually so subtle in most cases that it doesn't really matter too much.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-02T12:20:48-05:00
says you.

Cooked in a dish, yes. Too many other components. But used as an accent on something? Sprinkled on top of a chocolate or in a frosting - totally changes depending on type of salt.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T12:22:37-05:00
We were at the mall on Saturday and they had samples of some of the flavored salts. I went right for the black truffle salt and was amazed by the flavor! I liked it so much, I told my wife she HAD to try it!
... she hated it.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T12:23:19-05:00
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T12:39:39-05:00
That's a nebulous statement, Creeper. Is that a teaspoon, tablespoon, serving spoon, some fraction of one of the first two...?
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T12:39:42-05:00
I want to go back and get that black truffle salt, but they want $27 a jar.
You bet I could! I'm not such a bad cook myself. Come on, we don't need to stay here and listen to this!"
"We can pay you $10 now and $25 when we reach Alderaan."
"$35. OK You have yourselves a salt!"
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-02T12:39:48-05:00
One of the cards should be a caricature of Clint Eastwood with the words below saying "A Fist full of Nope"
Or is it an ice cream scoop that she's CALLING a spoonful?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-02T12:41:19-05:00
Potatten, that's a good point
Mike Kabala 2015-03-02T12:41:48-05:00

A sea salt, salt from a different place, and smoked salt (I consider it an 'additive')
i didn't count the flavored ones like fleur de sel avec lavender, etc.
I only have sea salt, seasoned salt, and garlic salt

Is black salt really black?
That's what I meant by most cases Creeper....
Black lava salt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_lava_salt
Yup. i have black hawaiian salt. i don't have any chips. We're talking about salt and there are no chips in my kitchen to nosh on.
That's so cool! I'm gonna have to get some of that
Well there's you synopsis CB lol
Morr of a reenactment
We went right back to talking about food again and now I want some chips, guac and a margarita with black lava salt.
I have half of those!
@LZ: lol this is true.
@Geist: Nothing less should be expected at this point. Though [Big ol' bag of Nope] should be a card.
And Nest of Nope
Heaping spoonful of Nope
A big slice of nope to go with that spoonful.
That's a nebulous statement, Creeper. Is that a teaspoon, tablespoon, serving spoon, some fraction of one of the first two...?
