jazzyrags Oct 20, 2005

Chocolate coffee sounds good

Just Us Bears Oct 20, 2005

Here we go...I have the cake....and it's chocolate just for Sue Ann.
Wouldn't it be so lovely if we really could get together for coffee.
Maybe we need to have a Teddy Talk convention. If we make it for two years time, we all have time to save save save!!!
What place is dead centre in the USA??? (And don't say it's a desert!)

Koala Oct 20, 2005

Maybe we could just all exchange our favourite chocolate recipe.

Maybe it should be on the East coast for those in the European countries.... Or we can have it in Texas at Sue Anns!!

Does it have to be in the USA ? You are welcome to visit my place. I'll even make the coffee and cake. Maybe a few anzac biscuits and lamingtons would go down well.!!!
I look forward to you attending ! :)

Fran..do you home deliver, that coffee looks great, I'm looking at my pathetic cup on the desk and it doesn't look nearly as inviting..

Hayley.....Is that cake  low fat?????
gotta think about the dimpled thighs you know!!...but I'll believe anything you say

A teddy convention what a great idea...I'd love to go to the US..

hugs,
Denise....

I Love Teddies Oct 20, 2005

Can we have tea since I don't drink coffee?  I definitely want in on the chocolate cake though!   

Just Us Bears Oct 20, 2005

I did think of inviting everyone to Australia Susan, but decided that was a bit unfair seeing as though the majority of TT 'ers are from the USA. Still, if everyone votes on Australia..I'm happy! Come on down!
On second thoughts...maybe we could make it on a tropical island in say Fiji or Tahiti, so we can sunbake and sip Margeuritas while we stitch and chat. Ahhhh!!!

Denise...this particular cake can no calories y'see...because it's on the screen and ya can't eat it! Ner! :dance:

I love teddies...what is your name???? 73 posts and I still don't know! Okay..I'm gonna have to go look at your site and do some sleuthing!

Okay.. found it....Chrissie!!!!

Densteds Oct 20, 2005

Hayley...how cruel!!!  :twisted: :twisted:...I'm off to the cupboard..there's got to be a monte carlo or something, now I'm hungry
hugs,
Denise

Shari Oct 20, 2005

Let's all meet in Hawaii. Shana,where are you?? It's been so long since I've seen you post. Get ready,we're all coming to visit     

I Love Teddies Oct 20, 2005

Hayley,
I keep forgetting to put my name at the bottom of my posts.  Maybe I should add it to my signature so I won't have to remember!

Chrissie

Ok, I added my name to my signature.  Just for you, Hayley!   

SueAnn Help Advisor, Banner SponsorOct 20, 2005

Oh yes . . . everybody is welcome to come to my house!!!  Will provide coffee in several different flavors, wonderful Good Earth tea for those who don't drink coffee, and definitely some Dr. Pepper!!    
Also can supply many different CHOCOLATE desserts as well.  Anybody for chocolate cheesecake??  If Texas is not the chosen spot, then I'll go anywhere - except Florida!  They are expecting another vicious hurricane this weekend.  You Teddy Talkers in Florida please batten down the hatches and be safe!  :pray:  :pray:

Daphne Oct 20, 2005

I vote USA.... that IS where TT is based out of any way and as someone said, the majority of us are from here, I think?!

Maybe we should do a traveling convention. Those who can afford it can travel to each country represented here on TT and we'll have a convention in each country. If you can't afford to travel perhaps you can at least get to the convention in your country.  :lol:

Now girls, I'd invited y'all here to New England for the autumn folliage and yet my guest room remains empty!    Yeah right, I took it over as my studio and it's heavily populated with bears!!   :doh: But I would be happy to arrange a get together here in the mountains... or Boston... or at the Maine Coast. I'd even arrange a bear show so you could write off your travel expenses and perhaps make enough to cover them! (Hmmm.... now aren't we complaining that shows aren't doing to well?? But think of the attendance if it were advertised as an International Bear Convention. We could have a few of us do workshops...... alright, I'm getting carried away!)

kraftyladies Oct 20, 2005

Ohhh, but Australia is my dream vacation........  :D

But Autumn in NH...wow..... that would be lovely!!  :thumbsup:

I would say here in Sunny Florida, but the bugs would carry you away!  :mad:

Susan

Daphne Oct 20, 2005

Sorry, Susan, I don't do bugs! Though I have a full body bug net suit I do all my gardening in and walk the dogs in during misquito and black fly season! Yes, I look like an alien but I'd faint from all the buzzing and bugs landing on me otherwise. There, now you all know I'm a big whimp!    :doh:  :redface:

PS.. It's after midnight, shouldn't we be in bed, Susan?

jazzyrags Oct 20, 2005

Steady on girls!!!!! i only said coffee now we are traveling all over the word it didn't take much to get you all going

melissa Oct 20, 2005

Now girls, I'd invited y'all here to New England for the autumn folliage and yet my guest room remains empty!

now I hadn't joined when you made that invitation....or I'd be there right now!!   

Actually Fall 2007 is gonna be my time to hit the East Coast of the States - provided i sell some bears between now and then   :D

I did a fall/autumn bear swap a couple of years ago and got some yummy maple sugar candy from Vermont...my teeth didn't like it buy my tastebuds did!

jazzyrags Oct 20, 2005

O yes that cake sure was good

Delartful Bears Oct 20, 2005

I would love to come! LOL   Perhaps I could win lotto and shout everyone for a holiday - Hawaii sounds great, means everyone (well apart from Shana!) would get to travel internationally, and it's kinda in the middle for us LOL

How about it.. One of us could win lotto!

Danni
P.S Although, the idea of an international bear convention sounds fantastic!!!!!!!!

Deb Oct 20, 2005

I don't care where we go as long as Matilda brings that caramel chocolate fudge cake she was talking about a while ago.  And who made that banana lemon thing?

My coffee is brewing right now! 

Let me know what the plans are!

millie Oct 20, 2005

Count me in.  Tomorrow I am trying a new recipe out on some friends.  It's a double chocolate praline fudge cake.  We'll see if it is a hit.  I'll think of y'all while I'm eating it.  After I've eaten it, I'll think of how much weight I'm gaining from it.  Friends are just killers to a diet.

WildThyme Oct 20, 2005

Now one of you Aussies MUST tell me what anzac biscuits and lamingtons are!!!!!!! 

Beray truly yours,

Lamingtons are basically a sponge cake cut into squares, dipped in chocolate and then dipped in shredded coconut.  Sometimes they are slit in half and cream and jam are squished in between...MMMmmmmm yum  :angel:

Anzac Biscuits (we call cookies biscuits or bickies)
this is one recepie I just googled, I would't use wholemeal flour (too healthy) though.  You just mix it up and slap spoonfulls on a try and viola...anzac biscuits :)

3/4 cup (75g) rolled oats
1/2 cup (125g) sugar
3/4 cup (70g) coconut
3/4 cup (115g) wholemeal flour
2 tablespoons (40g) golden syrup
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 tablespoons (40mls) boiling water
1/2 cup (125g) butter, melted

Hehe..this is fun  :dance:

Hugs Sarah
