@ChiffonOrange: Oh! Well my mistake, lol. It was a rainy one here last night. Or at least a rainy evening. So far this morning the sun is out. :)

And I'm all right, other than not having slept, I guess. I tried, I just couldn't fall asleep for the life of me. :vanora_tired:

@cooperationiskey: Nah, that's okay. xD It seems the rain has stopped here for me, for now haha. And I guess the sun wants to come out and chill?

Ohh I see. Hope you'll catch some Zs and get plenty of rest soon.

Lol, the sun wants to come out and make everything a wet humid mess is more like it. Florida is a very humid state (semitropical climate) and last night's rain sure isn't helping that. Still, I love the rain. I missed it after living in Los Angeles for almost a decade.

And thanks, I'm hoping to at least get a nap today. Though I might be tagging along with my roommate to go to the grocery store. We're both wanting peach pie thanks to my mom posting hers (made from scratch with fresh-picked peaches from her own yard!) on facebook, lol.

Ah, that makes real sense haha. The rain can be quite annoying but it makes you feel comfy/cozy whenever you're inside of your house, I don't know why. :o And I see. *nods*

No problem, I see. Hope you and your roommate have a safe journey to the grocery store for the peach pie which I have never heard of. :o And speaking of getting inspired by recipes, there is one time I tried to bake chocolate chip cookies with marshmellows but it ended up as a disaster mainly because I forgot to add something or added too much sugar or whatever to make it more "fluffy" or volume after baking them. ( ._. ; )

@ChiffonOrange: Yeah, I love the feeling of being inside, not having to go out in the rain/storm, and just enjoying the sounds of it. :)

Thanks! I really hope we find one already made (it's summer here so it's very possible as it's popular this time of year) because I've never made one and I'd have to google the ingredients I'd need lmao.

Omg I wanna make Dump Cake too, I haven't had that in years. It's a kind of weird cobbler that's just like, your fresh fruit or pie filling of choice, cake mix (preferably the 'yellow' kind), and butter, lmao. Not healthy at aaaaaaaall but my god is it good!!

And oh no! Were they at least edible? XD I once made sugar cookies with twice as much butter as I was meant to (I moved states and the butter came in differently portioned sticks and threw me off), and they came out suuuuper flat, lol. They tasted okay, though!

That does remind me that I wanted to make almond butter chips specifically to make almond butter chip cookies. o3o (I'm allergic to peanut butter, which at least here would be the usual choice.)

Well now I'm just thinking about sweets!

@cooperationiskey: Yep! Hearing the sounds of the rain or storm, or just watching the raindrops does seems to soothe one's mind. ^^

You're welcome :3 Better get prepared I suppose lol

*googles what Dump Cake is* I never heard of this kind of recipe nor do I had one before. Judging by those pictures, I assume it tastes really sweet and haha yeah, most cakes or desserts are unhealthy in general and you can't help it at the same time xD Ehhh..... Maybe, but I must've made them too sweet lmao. Oh dear, well as long as they taste decent or maybe good enough that is. Ah, I see. that might sound tasty even though almond isn't my cup of tea and I see, that's understandable. :o

Ah. So soon lol?

@ChiffonOrange: I mean it definitely depends on what you use as "filling" and how sweet that is. If you use fresh fruit, for instance, instead of (sweetened) pie filling, it wouldn't be as sweet. It mostly tastes like your usual fruit pie, to be honest. It's amazing hot with vanilla ice cream on top. I don't think I've had it since... god, my early twenties at the most recent. So a good 15 years or more.

Yeah I've found recipes for making homemade 'peanut butter baking chips' and I figure I can adapt that with almond butter for my own purposes. I miss peanut butter terribly but alternatives help.

And yeah, it's not even 10am and I'm already going "oooh, sugar!" lol.

@cooperationiskey: Oh :o And true, using fresh fruit doesn't sound really appetizing after all, and yum! That must've sound tasted really delicious! :D

I see. Homemade recipes are good though it really depends on your success, and alternatives are great options too! Since you can replace certain ingredients with alternatives for some recipes.

Ohh, wow lol. *inserts the Sugar, Sugar song on my mind*

@ChiffonOrange: I mean, I kinda wanna try making it with like, frozen strawberries or something like that. o3o

Yeah, I've done a bit of research into making like, my own "almond butter cups" since I can't have Reese's Peanut Butter Cups anymore and those were my favorite candy before my allergy turned up. I also discovered "matcha butter cups" which look AMAZING! (and I have a big bag of matcha just waiting to get turned into all kinds of treats!)

Oh my god, The Archies lmao! I somehow never made the connection that "The Archies" behind that song were THOSE Archies, omg. That's hilarious. Kind of the Gorillaz of their time, I guess!

@cooperationiskey: Ohh, frozen strawberries! That sounds like an easy but rewarding recipe :o

And oh dear, that must've been unfortunate. *clicks on the link* Mmmm... They look really delicious! :D And hope you'll succeed on those matcha butter cups ^^

Tbh I didn't know who The Archies were lol, well maybe except Archie Comics that also made those Sonic comics as well. (Although I don't really read Sonic comics, aside from video games lol) But that song has been stuck in my head for some reason haha. Ah, I see. The 1960s version of Gorillaz I assume? xD (I don't mind the Gorillaz (even though they were really, really popular in the 2000s), some of their songs are catchy as hell)

@ChiffonOrange: Right? I think it'd work really well. :3

It sucked, yeah. But like I said, alternatives! :D

It's a super famous song, so even not knowing who the Archies are I understand knowing the song. I couldn't have told you who did the song before now! And yeah, inasmuch as they're a cartoon band, at least. The Archies were pretty big back in the day!

@cooperationiskey: Yep. As long as it works well. *nods*

Hooray for alternatives! ^^

I see! Didn't know they were this popular in the 1960s which is impressive in my opinion.

@ChiffonOrange: Oh yeah, they had chart toppers, especially Sugar, Sugar, which I think is their biggest hit.

Man, I should really be sleeping, especially after not sleeping at all last night, but after a fitful evening nap I just don't feel that sleepy. :I

@ChiffonOrange: I did finally sleep around 2 or 3am, lol. And then I slept till at least noon, and had another nap after that. XD

I'm feeling much better!
