MuseSusan, I would be pleased to join the Super Secret Official Welcomers Club, as long as you don't tell anyone. Thank you! What a wonderful way to start off the workday.

As my mom says, "Smile, it'll make them wonder what you are up to."

<smiling away...>

Welcome.

<offers spam and cheese pies - marked with a 's' to distinguish them from other pies>

I thought that confusion and wilful misdirection were the name of the game around here!

I hope you used Stilton or Swaledale cheese

Of course you could even eat one of the s-shaped pies. They've been propping up the shelves for far too long now.

Welcome!

I'm the one who offers cocoa to go with the pies & can assure you that there's never been any spam in it-
however, cayenne is a tasty addition, for those who are so inclined...

I am quite the fan of cayenne, but I am firmly of the opinion that warning labels should be placed on items containing more than trace amounts of it. Therefore I suggest that pies containing said seasoning be marked with a prominent C to indicate. Of course, there is the danger that someone might see one upside-down, so to facilitate comprehension of the message from all angles, I propose that the pies be marked with both a right-side-up C and an upside-down C, one above the other, looking something like this: S

hello everyone. Blessings and Peace from Melbourne Australia.

Hello and welcome. Please help yourself to a pasty and any of the edible origami cranes!

Welcome chemonro! Most of us hang out in the Treehouse, where the only rule is you can't speak. It is a place of quiet reflection, and pirates, and pies. And utter mayhem. Oh, and don't let the dancing pachyderms scare you off, they are just practicing their show.

G'day chemonro. Nice to see the antipodean contingent getting a boost. Bibwit and I are in Melb as well, BonzaiKitten is in Ballarat.

....and not because I'm slow I am in Adelaide, closer to the Barossa Valley than the CBD such as it is.

I am in the process baking spam, sausage and stilton pies marinaded in scotch.

they will be marked with a S to specify.

Welcome Chemonro! Always good to meet new Ffordians!
