Chocolate chip cookies!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Chocolate chip cookies!

A Vodka cran or Baileys and Kahlúa?

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Both, or eaten together with the peanut butter cups melted on top

 

[Karen-W]

A Vodka cran or Baileys and Kahlúa?

Now, now, now, let's not encourage early day drinking. The women take the ice at a mere 9am Pacific.

Have you seen group one? I better start now.

 

[Karen-W]

Have you seen group one? I better start now.

I mean, you're not entirely wrong. Have you seen next week's lineup? At least you have a built-in excuse of not having gone to bed yet since the CoC Women’s SP starts at 1:25am PT, lol.

 

[barbk]

A Vodka cran or Baileys and Kahlúa?

Neither. I am the weird person who cannot find any reason for the existence of vodka in the world - the addition that ruins everything to which it is added. A little Kahlua in my coffee can be nice, but mixing it with Bailey's is sugar overload.

I was saved from the worst Kahlua experience ever as a guest at an Orthodox Jewish wedding reception where the bartender whispered that instead of Kahlua and cream that it would be Kahlua and non-dairy coffee creamer.

It isn't summer any longer, but next summer I am going to try and find a decent bartender who can make a Tom Collins. The last two I asked had never heard of it.

Pacific Northwest Ballet got a liquor license for their costume staff to use vodka to spray on the costumes after dress rehearsals and performances, until they were deep cleaned at the end of runs. Vodka kills the bacteria and smells without destroying the fabric.

When I was still taking classes, I sprayed vodka into my Flamenco shoes after wearing them. I was really surprised that it didn’t dry out and degrade the leather insides.

 

[ilovesalchows]

It's still coffee time here. I just had to throw out the half and half though. What is the optimal temperature for a refrigerator? I think mine isn't cold enough.

 

[Aceon6]

What is the optimal temperature for a refrigerator? I think mine isn't cold enough.

No higher than 40°F. A few degrees colder during heatwaves to counter the fluctuations when you open the door.
I may make a hot chocolate to brighten my mood. Group 1 is quite the bunch of inconsistency.

Finally, Senior GP time

But why did they shuffle all the events

As a dance and cheer mom, I find this incredibly interesting and potentially useful!!

Yes, I’ll be watching from Germany and I just googled free VPN for next week as well because Peacock won’t work over there even though I pay for it.

Now I just have to figure out what time in Europe that’s going to be happening

They have the best chances for a medal in men and ice dance so that’s why they serve it towards the end, I’ve noticed Federation’s will tweak schedules to fit where they think they stand chances to medal.

For those of us in Canada, we will find out in a few minutes if we have access to the ISU YouTube stream without a VPN...

It should be working in Canada because when it doesn't we have never seen the links on the ISU YouTube channel to the best of my recollection.

I agree but don't like to assume
I'm ready to switch to the CBC player, if necessary.

And we are live on ISU with Chris Howarth

 

[Citlali]

It's live

 

[Miezekatze]

Today's Youtube stream is not geoblocked in Germany (at least it just started for me), so you might be lucky and not need a VPN.

IIRC last year the whole GP ISU stream was not geoblocked in Germany either (even though there was a Pay per view option on Discovery Plus).

The security / bag check line outside the rink is its usual clusterf*ck. At least 20 minutes long followed by another queue for ticket scanning inside. I wish they’d allow those of us with no bags to skip this line since we’re just waved through anyway when we get to the front.

I advise those attending without credentials to arrive early if they care about seeing the first skaters. I am not going to cry if I miss Clemence Mayindu although I don’t dislike her skating.

 

[Rukia]

yay i'm so excited (we'll see how long that lasts)

 

[victorskid]

It's going to be a "humdinger" says Chris

 

[tony]

Graphics have finally been updated after how many years? 21st century little by little.

 

[Wyliefan]

Crap, my feed's freezing already. Hope this doesn't keep up. (I think it's on my end.)

 

[skatfan]

I’m in Spain on my fun trip and can get the competition without a VPN!

 

[Lanie]

Ugh I have to go DO THINGS when I want to sit and watch and snark with everybodyyyyy
