The Cupcake Muskateers Tavern welcomes You

[Bekki]

You all can have the hot cocoa (it unfortunately has a lot of caffeine). However, tea is good. Chammomile and decaf green tea, yum. Unfortunately they put black pepper (which I'm allergic to) in chai tea.



Much appreciated. Especially when one has so many food allergies.

I found the comparison with decaf interesting. Maybe there is another compound in cocoa that gets to you?

I have the same reaction to caffeinated coffee as I did cocoa. However you did just remind me of an article that Missing had sent me a bit back about how there is a chemical in chocolate that can cause people to react. I don't remember what it was called though. Fairly certain that I do have a sensitivity to said chemical.

Theobromine?

ETA:
I have gone deep down the rabbit hole on chocolate. Here is an article from the other side...

Well, we will do our virtual part here to help in any way we can.

I can sympathize with on the food allergy part...

After many years of enjoying it, I found out I developed an allergy to
Of all things... Shrimp (And subsequently shellfish.) that was rather heartbreaking.
So I will gladly help however I can.

That probably is it. Probably because Theobromine is so close to Caffeine is why I get the same reaction or at least similar enough it feels the same.

Welcome to the world of being allergic to extremely common things. You start digging in to learn what not to eat. hehe.

Oh and the odd thing is that I can have the Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips. Only those (there is one other but it's more complicated to detail). They are wheat, nut, and soy free. Possibly dairy too. I forget... Any other chocolate is a no as far as I have found, part of that being the corn syrup used or/and the quality...

I'm sorry to hear that.

I have an aunt that loves that stuff and is allergic to it also.

Fitting.

Happy Bealted Birthday.

Ramble time.

I think I'm weirding out a bit about Falabelle (my hobbit hunter on Landy) getting closer and closer to cap. So trying to figure out what to do once she does (besides go grind deeds). Not sure if I want to slog through the huge game world again or not.

I like Landroval but most of the events are at times I can't make, so makes me a bit sad since the RP type stuff I do enjoy watching.

On another note they need to add in an option to by class changes from the store. Then maybe I could make use of my level 50 something elves.

I don't have any at cap, yet. My two highest are in the 70's, three are in the 60's, two farmers in the 50's, ~12 crafters in the 30's, and 10 others below 20.

That's a lot of characters. o_0

Falabelle hit 90 yesterday or the day before...sometime recently. She is definitely the most awesomeness lotro character I have. Thus I have a hard time thinking about playing anyone else (I have had this issue in GW2 also since I have one very awesome character there too).

I was reading the Ladnroval forums while I ate lunch. Apparently most rpers are moving over to Laurelin or are in very small groups. The Pony on Landroval is rife with eRP. =\ No wonder I don't see companies of rpers marching through the landscape anymore.

I've known about the Boneyard, of course. Didn't realize it was open to the public.

Afternoon.

Barb invited me to go to the state park tomorrow to go riding with her. So, looks like it's time to get back on a horse. Still miss my boy a ton but it will be good to do something with a horse. Life feels rather dull with out him so hopefully this will help.

Also made a beorning over on Laurelin. Not sure how much I'll be over there but well, i could at least attend events. Tried making a hobbit but it didn't work well. If I rp, I will nto rp an elf. ^^;

Hi all. TGIF.

Still slowly chugging along on Laurelin. I'm level 15. or 16. I think.

Welcome Committee Guy sent me a mail saying I could join his special chat channel, but only if I agree to Keep It Secret, Keep It Safe. Like, I have to swear to not tell anyone about it. I laughed, but sure okay, let's check your channel out. I'm waiting for the top secret login credentials now.

I made another new friend. She is nice but a bit pushy I think. I log in and she pounces me right away, wants to quest with me, and even tracked me down in Bree and offered me black dyes. I'm just like, stand ye back woman and let me farm onions a bit.


Hopefully going to stop in a farmer's market tomorrow morning and since it should be raining all weekend, probably knock out a bunch of cooking. Made a batch of lemon poppy muffins today, but I'm thinking a big pot of soup and maybe a few casseroles would be a good thing to have stored in the fridge/freezer for the coming week.

Lemon poppy muffins? They sound NSFW.

Now I think I am going to go eat some casserole.
