Forums Welcome Committee Just arrived!
@mrs aizawa: Hello! What's your favorite coffee? I've been drinking this brand today called New England Coffee, the breakfast blend.
@totalanimefan: Apple butter is soooooooo good! I put it on practically everything! I even have apple butter and peanut butter sandwiches usually! Also, if you are making vegan cookies, you can use apple butter instead of eggs and it works amazingly.
@mrs aizawa: I feel like I might be too picky with coffee. Which is bad since coffee is expensive and I'm always skipping sales because I don't like the brand as much. =/

@totalanimefan: I had pumpkin butter once, but I think it might have been bad or something. It tasted...dusty? Does that make sense? Like, it kind of tasted the way it smells when you turn your heat on for the first time in the year and you can smell that burning dust from the radiators. The other flavors were good, but the "dustiness" of it was off-putting and I didn't finish the jar.
@totalanimefan: It was certainly not pleasant! I think I should try it again sometime though and maybe I'll have better luck.
@totalanimefan: I got this one at an orchard where I normally buy apple butter and other delights, so I don't know what went wrong! It's all made on site.
@totalanimefan: I make apple butter every couple of months! =D Fall is the best because I can pick the best apples for it. I actually had some of my McIntosh/Gala/Reine des Reinettes/Golden Russet apple butter batch on some freshly baked bread as my supper. (I was going to make grilled cheese, but I got lazy once I made the bread.)
@totalanimefan: YES! I love making dinner for people, so you'd be very welcome! ^_^
Ah, I used to have real dinner parties with friends, but I've run short on IRL friends these days.

@totalanimefan: Kind of a combination of things. I moved away from a lot of my core friends some years ago, a lot of the work friends I made after that kind of fizzled out after a few years, and then I spent too much time cultivating a few very close online friendships that often fizzled out as well. Then there was the pandemic, and I was undergoing a lot of heavy treatments for the past couple of years. Next thing I knew, I was a lot older than I remember!
@totalanimefan: That's good to hear that you like where you are now! I like living where I do as well. I like the culture out here, the "vibe" if you will. I could probably go out and meet more people if I wanted to, but it's hard sometimes. Even when you meet people, everyone has different jobs, is available at different times, some have spouses and children and other responsibilities that make them less available even if you manage to forge friendships. Maybe at my age I shouldn't really be looking for people to "hang out with" on a regular basis anyway, so maybe that's on me for not growing up enough and keeping pace. I think if I had a boyfriend I'd be a lot less lonely.
@totalanimefan: I'm pretty hopeful that I'll make some new friends soon, or reconnect with some of my older ones. I was thinking of doing something old school like joining a bowling league (I'm not great at bowling though, just for fun), or a sportsman club to practice my archery, start a band or ensemble with some people, stuff like that. I know a lot of people from work and the community and stuff because I used to be quite involved in things before I got sick and before the pandemic mess. I know I can do that again if I just get myself up and take a few chances with people.
It's just your friendly apple maiden!
