You can't put whole pumpkin seeds on a cake. I figured that out early on. My guess is that this mob has passed its prime.

Remember kids, always take your nuts out of the shell before adding to your cakes.

I beg to differ. Those are "pepitas" (shelled pumpkin seeds).

Those pumpkin seeds aren't that great but they fit the theme of the bread - pumpkin. What's weird is the fuss about what pumpkin seed is. That's rfc for you.

You're right about that. You don't have to shell out cashews either.

It is indeed - except most of the denizens of rfc aren't that interested in food nor are they well-versed on food.
Speaking of food. I got a chicken in a pot of simmering water. As it goes, the possibilities at this point, are endless.

My daughter made more pumpkin bread. She put pumpkin seeds on the top, again. It's a nice looking loaf.

Real-life 'Jurassic World' may exist, just on another planet

Special telescopes could be used to detect conditions on other planets similar to dinosaur era

By Michael Lee - Fox News

"Planets far away from Earth could be harboring species that resemble Earth's dinosaurs and humans may currently have the ability to find them, according to a new study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society journal.

"Modern Earth's light fingerprint has been our template for identifying potentially habitable planets, but there was a time when this fingerprint was even more pronounced — better at showing signs of life," study author Lisa Kaltenegger said in a statement to The Sun.

According to the study, researchers on Earth could detect such life by searching for compounds that are not currently present on our planet but were during the age of the dinosaurs. That's because the Earth had higher levels of oxygen, about 30%, during the time of the dinosaurs, allowing the complex creatures to grow. Today, Earth's oxygen levels have leveled off to 21%.

Those high oxygen levels could be a clue to the kind of life that exists on a faraway planet, the researchers argue, noting that special telescopes can be used to detect similar conditions to what dinosaurs confronted millions of years ago.

One clue scientists can search for is whether a planet is in a Phanerozoic stage, which would allow a planet to host large and complex life forms.

"The Phanerozoic is just the most recent 12% or so of Earth's history, but it encompasses nearly all of the time in which life was more complex than microbes and sponges," Cornell University scientist Rebecca Payne told The Sun. "This gives us hope that it might be just a little bit easier to find signs of life — even large, complex life — elsewhere in the cosmos."

According to Kaltenegger, searching for planets with higher levels of oxygen could lead to the discovery of interesting life forms while also making the search easier.

"Hopefully we'll find some planets that happen to have more oxygen than Earth right now because that will make the search for life just a little bit easier," Kaltenegger said. "And, who knows, maybe there are other dinosaurs waiting to be found."

Are you trying to say that real men don't let other
men stick things up their butt (except in the case
of a legitimate prostate examination of course)?

No. GM is so deep into the heterosexual closet
that he refrains from physical lust, either
hetero or homo.

His homosexuality is not at all like that
of 'normal' queers. He is instead stuck
at the immature phase all boys go through when
girls are 'icky' but the boy cannot resist
festooning his secret love object with attention.

That explains GM, but you are still enigmatic.

My word, Mike - keep up such fabulations and you run the risk of ending up in Satan's "Lake of Fire" for all eternity...!!!

Revelation 20:10:

"But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
