Wow! I love the wonderful combination of ingredients! Using duck fat in the puff pastry was such a genius idea. I can imagine how much more flavorful the puff pastry tasted. This is such a well put together dish in both taste and presentation. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Deana,
This is a perfect dish for me ;)
I didn't see Babettes Feast and now I'm so curious about it.
Wonderful work!

This would be such a wonderful Thanksgiving meal..Love the idea..I wonder if the butcher can remove all the backbone etc..
Your puff pastry w/ duck fat must be decadent.
Great job! - September 17, 2010 at 5:20 AM

Wow Deana...you are truly amazing!
Babette's Feast is one of my favorite films...
Your dish is stunning...
The puff pastry? Perfection!

Oh Deana, I'm so glad you're puff pastry worked this time-it looks perfect! And I used to love quail. I can see why such a wonderful dish is your favorite!
Oh, and I've never seen 'Babette's Feast'. I've noticed there are no good movies lately-me thinks at least. I'll see if I can get it... - September 17, 2010 at 5:51 AM
- Barbara said...
Well Deana! I am soooo impressed you made your own puff pastry, something I'm not certain I will ever make. And with duck fat yet.
I'm a big fan of D'Artagnan...and how lovely you went to a video shoot there and came away with some goodies. I am envious! What a magnificent job you did with this extraordinary recipe. I adore quail (used to go with my dad on quail hunts in central Florida) and have eaten it since I was a child.
This was SUCH a fun post! - September 17, 2010 at 6:54 AM

Hi Deana - what lovely homage to a jewel of a movie! I love the use of duck fat for the pastry, which looks perfect. I can only imagine how it must have added to the flavour!! The dish is beautiful and so very tempting....

Babette's Feast is one of my ALL TIME favorite movies! Being Danish didn't hinder the attraction to the movie but the characters are so well played. I remember this dish well, also the turtle soup and the lovely wines she chose for each course.
Bravo, Deana! What an amazing duplication of the recipe. - September 17, 2010 at 6:17 PM

Lovely post. Another interesting read. Over the top pleasure from this wonderful course. Some of my favorite ingredients, elevated to new heights.

One of my all-time favorite food movies. I've watched it over and over. And it always leaves me hungry. ;)

Babette's Feast is one of my favourite foodie movies. I must watch it again. I have a lot of duck fat on hand so I should make this puff pastry. I could never understand using pastry flour for puff pastry. You want flaky and you don't get that with the tender, pastry flour. Bread flour is the way to go.

What a beautiful post and a yummy recipe. The pictures are enough to drool on, actually.
Babette's Feast is one of those movies for foodies that you never forget, whether you are a foodie or not. - November 17, 2012 at 7:45 PM
- Karina A. Fogliani-Ahmed said...
I just rented this movie following your suggestion and... I'm speechless. This is good cinema at its best. How the cooking techniques are shown is simply masterful. I've never seen anything like it before.
I love how she transforms a bare kitchen with copper utensils, fresh ingredients laid here and there, and how she is afraid of... nothing. She kills the quails, the giant tortoise (much to your chagrin, I know).
In any case, I will try the "cailles en sarcophage" soon. And I keep watching the film, which I believe will buy in Blu-Ray version as I can't stop watching it.
Thanks so much for recommending this film - and providing the recipe! - December 27, 2012 at 6:10 PM
- Monsoonclerk said...
Wonderful post!! We made this recipe this weekend (with store-bought puff pastry, didn't have time to make it from scratch), and it was a crowd pleaser. Everyone was reverently silent when eating it, it was so good. The only change I would make if we were ever to do it again would be to cook the quail and the puff pastry together in the oven at the same time. I found the puff pastry to be at its best right out of the oven, and it got heavier as it cooled. I figure that if we added the quails to the puff pastry shells while they were in the oven (like Babette did in the movie), the shells could curve more around the birds, and everything would be piping hot when serving. Yum!
- March 18, 2013 at 7:24 AM
- lostpastremembered said...
Monsoonclerk- so glad you liked it. You can pop the pastry back in the oven for a moment if you would like- If you cooked them together you would loose the flavor of the quail in the sauce and I doubt the pastry would raise properly. One trick for the pastry to keep it light is to let the moisture out... a small slit in the side should do it. It really shouldn't get heavy as it cools though. Makes me think it wasn't cooked enough and that the layers were soggy.

When Upson County voters went to the polls Tuesday, they knew they would be electing a new Sheriff. But after the votes were counted, they not only had a new Sheriff, but a new County Commission Chairman as well. Former District 3 Commissioner Rusty Blackston defeated incumbent Commission Chairman Maurice Raines by 407 votes to claim the post.
Chief Deputy Dan Kilgore defeated Thomaston Police Officer Jeffery Little by 3,813 votes to become the next Upson County Sheriff.
In the only other locally contested race on the ballot, incumbent Superior Court Clerk Teresa Harper defeated challenger Russ Bridges by 2,989 votes to retain her post.
Following his win, Blackston gave thanks.
"I feel blessed tonight. I just want to, first of all, give God the praise and glory for everything that has been done here tonight and everything that has been done to this point in my life," said Blackston. "I look forward to serving the people. I'm not a politician; I want to be a servant to the citizens of this community. I want us to start a healing process and try to get everybody together and lets start rebuilding Upson County. I think that is something we need to do now. The top priority is still jobs. We've got to get industry here."
Upson County voters turned out en masse for the election, which also featured the Presidential race. Of the 16,807 registered voters in the county, 11,319, or 67.35 percent, cast ballots.
Rusty Blackston, a Republican, collected 5,669 votes, winning in five of the nine precincts, and taking the election by 51.84 percent. Maurice Raines, a Democrat, garnered 5,262 votes.
Dan Kilgore, also a Republican, had an easier time in the Sheriff's race, totaling 7,465 votes and winning seven of nine precincts to take the election by 67.09 percent. Jeffery Little, a Democrat, gathered 3,652 votes.
Republican incumbent Superior Court Clerk Teresa Harper collected 63.79 percent of the votes, or 6,911, while Russ Bridges, a Democrat, had 3,922 votes.
Upson County also went Republican in the Presidential race. Mitt Romney collected 64.13 percent, or 7,229 votes, to President Barack Obama's 3,955 votes. Romney won statewide in Georgia, but as of 11:35 p.m. Tuesday night, national networks were predicting that Obama won the election nationwide.
The incumbents won reelection in two contested Public Service Commission races in Georgia. Republican incumbent Chuck Eaton defeated Democrat Stephen Oppenheimer and Libertarians Brad Ploeger in the PSC District 3 election, while Republican incumbent Stan Wise defeated Libertarian David Staples in the PSC District 5 election.
Much to the chagrin of educational leaders in Upson County and around the state, Constitutional Amendment 1 dealing with charter schools was approved. In Upson County the vote was 5,680 for and 4,977 against. Statewide, Amendment 1 was approved by 58.10 percent.
Constitutional Amendment 2, which allows state offices to enter multi-year rental agreements, was also approved by voters, with 63.43 percent voting in favor of the amendment.

Comments On Jun 01, 2013:good oil price is lil less then others, still a good oil i ran it for 3 years no problems
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jan 29, 2013:I used it in my 99 ktm 300 exc because the previous owner reccomended it, had the bike for 4 years and just as he said the pistons looked great during maintenance checks with no extra burnt on soot on the top (which can result from wrong jetting) but is typical of trying to use the castor-type oil which is suited more towards the older bikes. I tried others when this wasn't available such as formula K maxima and wasn't happy. Order on here and save a few bucks vs. the local store (plus tax).

"A simple moniker for a complicated monster." That's how a rattled Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) describes "M.," his nemesis from across the pond, whose bloody M.O. is on display in a New York crime scene that threatens to send the genius sleuth off the deep end into rogue vigilantism in a first-rate and pivotal episode of CBS' enjoyable Elementary (10/9c). Even an amateur Sherlock-ian knows what that "M." stands for and signifies: "The greatest puzzle you'll ever come across," taunts an adversary.
1600 Penn is about the First Family, but it's definitely not about politics.
"It takes a little bit of time, but we do quickly [get] to a show that concentrates more on the family dynamics where the White house is just a back drop," executive producer Mike Royce told reporters at the Television Critics Association winter previews. "That's a product of how we have to launch the stories that occur, but as we go along we're able to turn things more inward which I think is a more interesting place to be."
Sunday's second-season finale of Showtime's Homeland was titled "The Choice." Which could just as easily have applied to the seventh-season finale of Dexter that immediately preceded it. The ones making the ultimate choice, though, are the viewers, who must decide if they're willing to go where these dark bundles of insanity take them.
I echo Homeland's Brody when I say: "I'm in." I realize it might be hipper to join the Twitter snark parade, especially when it comes to Homeland's giant leaps of credibility-defying faith, but imagine how dull and dreary this fall would have been without this one-two punch of Sunday night high-octane entertainment.
A couple of Mormons are on their way to the White House, and I'm not talking about Mitt and Ann Romney (or am I?). NBC's midseason White House-set sitcom, 1600 Penn, starring Broadway's original Book of Mormon star Josh Gad, is welcoming another original Mormon co-star. read more

BYU encourages students to enroll in AP (Advanced Placement) or IB (International Baccalaureate) classes where available. Following are a few of the major benefits of taking these college prep courses:
The decision to take AP or IB courses should be considered carefully by the student, parents, and a school counselor. Students and parents may wish to talk to an AP/IB teacher or coordinator to learn more about the difficulties of a particular course. They will want to be sure to consider the workload and the preparation required for the course. We recommend not taking an AP/IB course unless students can maintain at least a B+ average.
AP grade reports are sent to the college designated on the AP exam answer sheet. Each report is cumulative and includes grades for all AP exams taken, unless there is a request that one or more grades be withheld from a college or cancelled. AP/IB transcripts do not need to be evaluated by an evaluation company, but can be sent dierectly to BYU.
If the college of your choice was not the one you designated, you must do one of the following:
We do not receive AP exam scores from College Board until the end of June or the beginning of July. All documents should be mailed to:
BYU Admissions
Provo, UT 84602
Because the IB program is integrated into the high school curriculum, IB high school transcripts may be sent directly to BYU and will not need to be sent through an evaluation agency. IB scores from a student's score report or directly from the IB office will also be accepted. If you would like to request your IB transcript, please visit the following URL:

Hi everyone,
We released version 8.0.3 today, all machines running 8.0.x should update automatically at some point (might take a few hours to reach your machine). In addition to the normal detection improvements we fixed the AutoUpdate crash that plagued G3 users, improved the behavior for "stuck scans" some people have seen in the GUI, and also includes general stability improvements.
We are still on track to release 8.0.4 with fixes for the reports of kernel panics at the end of May.
We released version 8.0.3 today, all machines running 8.0.x should update automatically at some point (might take a few hours to reach your machine).
Bob, I am running 8.0.2c and the update to 8.0.3 is not coming through update. Am I just being too impatient!
Anyone else got it yet?
Hi, my version 8.0.2C runs well and updates on the hour but as yet has not gone to the new version. I updated manually his morning, 10th May, and still no new version. Is there a problem or like the last comment am I too impatient. Should I manually download and update the application?
Velcro49 wrote:Should I manually download and update the application?
I tried that.......the manual download of version 8 still gives 8.0.2c....not 8.0.3
I have been using version 7 on an old intel imac with Snow Leopard. I noticed yesterday that updating 7.x now gives me 7.3.11c. Given the large number of posts commenting on 8.x problems (such as extremely slow scanning) I wonder if there is a download for 7.3.11c if want to intall Sophos on another snow leapard based mac computer.
05-10-2012 07:44 AM - edited 05-10-2012 07:49 AM
...and still the On-Access Scanning does not work!
I had reverted back to version 7 as that was working correctly, until about 20minutes ago when it suddenly ceased to run the OnAccess Scans.
I guess it auto updated to a version that does not work correctly. So i tried the latest 8 version and that too is not allowing OnAccess Scan.
Is this something that is being looked into, or am i going to have to look elsewhere for my virus scanning?
if its any help, my mac is running OS 10.7.3 on intel i7 2.8ghz processor
edit - I just checked again and it seems the new 8.0.3 has not been included in the download version - i dowloaded the installer and i still have 8.0.2 - update button also finds nothing new.
"About Sophos" says I am now running 8.03, but updater just keeps running...about six hours now.
(Mac OS 10.7.4)
The data repos for both SAV 8 and SAV 7 cache local copies of the files in your physical area, meaning you'll need to wait for the local repo to be updated before you will get the most recent version.
When doing a point upgrade, this is pulled from the local data repo, and the old software is disabled as part of the install process. This means you should see your menu bar item disappear for a few seconds, and on-access scanning will halt for a few seconds.
If this lasts longer than a couple of minutes, try restarting your computer to fully halt and re-initialize all processes -- it is possible that something has presented the new version from loading (this should not normally occur, as the update process is pretty agressive in ensuring the new version loads).
If there are still problems at this point, please report them to this thread.
My Sophos 8.0.2c is stubbornly refusing to update to 8.0.3 on both my Macs.
To start with a clean sheet, I uninstalled 8.0.2c with the Sophos uninstaller. Then I deleted the fifteen preference and other files which the uninstaller does not remove.
Then I downloaded a fresh copy of version 8 and installed it. This was 8.0.2c. After initial install it went through the normal updating process automatically.
At the end of this it was still 8.0.2c.
mikebore wrote:I downloaded a fresh copy of version 8 and installed it. This was 8.0.2c.
I contacted Bob about this directly and he got it taken care of.
As of today, Sophos is now distributing 8.0.3C via the download site at http://sophos.com/freemacav

LOWER GWYNEED With his fleece zipped chin-high and a boiling fever, Wissahickon Trojans junior guard Chase Wilson watched helplessly as Springfield raced out to an 8-0 run to begin the second half of Tuesdays home tilt.
His father, head coach Kyle Wilson, called a timeout with 6:04 to go in the third quarter, and an evaporating 36-28 lead on the scoreboard. Off came the fleece, and for a moment the father and son duo made eye contact in the huddle. The mutual consensus would be that if the margin was trimmed to five points, Chases services would be used.
It wouldnt be necessary. Despite a few defensive lapses, the Trojans outmatched the Spartans and improved to 11-5 with a 64-53 victory. The decision to rest a red-hot Chasewho has averaged 24 points in his last five gameswas validated. Fortunately for the Trojans, his offensive touch was more contagious than the flu.
(Coach) said to me, lets give them another minute, then well see how we are doing, Chase said. I believe in him all the time, and I knew going to be fine.
Even during these moments of anxiety, the bond not only between father and son, but point guard and point guard inherently takes over.
Kyle graduated as a senior captain from Wissahickon in 1985, playing college basketball at Susquehanna University. Hes passed all his wisdom onto his son, but is running out of nuggets.
Hes better than what I was at that stage, Kyle said. Im hoping hes taking everything I can give him, and even picked up more than me.
Chase has the talent, and certainly the drive to play at the next level. His relentless gym rat mentality, and early morning weight room sessions have muted early criticisms of his game.
Last year was probably my toughest year because I was starting point guard as a sophomore and had to live up to expectations, Chase said. After some of the big games I think I sort of made some of the people who say hes only starting because of his dad shut up.
During that campaign, in which the Trojans lost in the PIAA District 1 semi-finals to Chester, Chase took a backseat during crunch time. Now, his methodical decision-making and shot selection are crucial attributes when the game is on the line.
Its been a unique process, Kyle said. (This year, its been) a lot of distribution the first half, and in the second half, if we need big plays, hes doing it and thats what a point guard does. When youre a strong scorer too, you need to find that balance, he added.
What makes the Trojans a difficult team to match up with is a versatile backcourt. Combine Wilson with senior guard Gordon Bentleywho was a point away from a triple-double against Springfield (9-13-12) and other sharpshooters, and Wissahickon is a formidable foe. However, inconsistency can plague the Trojans, like in a 48-32 loss to Perkiomen Valley on Wednesday night.
Kyle has set the bar high for 2013, and is an equal opportunity employer when it comes to floor time. Hes not afraid to spew venom at his team leaderseven if that means Chase.
There are times when he is harder on me than others but times when he is also not, Chase admitted.
Chase, who was eased back into action in a non-league loss against Perkiomen Valley the next night before erupting for 27 in a loss to rival Plymouth Whitemarsh last Friday, still has lessons to learn on and off the court from his father, but is wide-eyed and eager to accept any forthcoming challenges. Hes already developed a thick skin, and dedicated work ethic, two traits passed through several generations of athletic Wilsons. He also knows that even in failure, there is a shot at redemption.
(Dad) would always say Just let it go, dont worry about it, Chase said. If you win you win, if you lose, you have the next day to get back at it.

I have been appalled in recent months as Donald Trump has belittled and insulted countless Americans with his attempts to discredit the leadership of President Barack Obama with old fashioned race baiting tactics. I am more disappointed that popular companies such as yours are supporting and monetarily benefiting from Donald Trump's program "The Celebrity Apprentice" notwithstanding Trumps obvious support of fringe elements of the American electorate that advocate racism, xenophobia, and divisiveness in this country. I want to alert you to the fact that Donald Trump--whose show you sponsor on NBC--is using the notoriety and status "Celebrity Apprentice" affords him to make outlandish accusations about the President and to advance baseless theories that prey on race-based fears. I need not describe these theories in detail as they has dominated the news. What is clear is that the claims are ludicrous, and the rhetoric is racially divisive and pollutes our public discourse. While I support differences of opinion about policy, I will never support race baiting. I presume that your company also does not want to enable such rhetoric, nor have your products or services associated with the kind of views and tactics espoused by Trump. I urge you to immediately cease all advertising on "Celebrity Apprentice" and on NBC and its affiliated networks. Thank you for considering my request. Sincerely,
News Flash: It's called a "power" button. Switch it off.
There is a simple, and easy solution to this problem. If you do notlike what Donald Trump has to say, don't watch him. You don't likeC.A, don't watch it. And just to add to the charity thing forSnapple. All the money that is on celebrity apprentice goes tochairity.
I do not agree with anything the Don says, but did you know thatproceeds from those specialty blended Snapples go to charity? Pleaseread the label next time you are in the store and have a sec. HollyRobinson Peete was on a talk show a few months ago speaking about howmuch money her tea flavor has raised.
Great letter - no "threats" about boycotting the products...justasking them to consider not advertising on the show. I think the Donald has totally lost his mind
Great letter and I agree with the writer 100%. Trump may be decent at business (although I don't think its hard to dowell at business when you inherit millions of dollars as Trump did tohelp you get started), but he is an utter MORON when it comes tocommon sense matters and to politics. Obama releases his birth certificate and did that satisfy Trump? Oh no, now he's rambling on about wanting to see Obama's academicrecords. If Trump wants to conduct an investigation of academic records,perhaps he can investigate how George W. Bush got into Yale andHarvard Business School when his high school grades were AWFUL. Perhaps he can explain why people cast their votes for W. when he wasa failed businessman who ran the Texas Rangers baseball team andseveral oil services businesses he was put in charge of into theground. Why would anyone think W. would be a good C.I.C. when hecouldn't run a business (i.e. managing the affairs of our country canbe viewed as running a large, multinational corporation) and tunr aprofit? If Obama released his academic records, Trump would just findsomething else to whine about. Next, it'll be Obama's Defensive Driving record...or his Cub Scoutrecords.....or Trump will be whining about how Obama couldn't colorwithin the lines with his crayons when he was a little kid inkindergarden. The long and the short of it is Trump is behaving like a spoiled brator an immature child and he should just put on his big-boy pants andGROW UP.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — NFL referees are ready to become unnoticed again, just as they prefer.
The refs approved a new eight-year contract with the league on a 112-5 vote Saturday, officially ending a lockout that led to three weeks of increasingly chaotic games run by replacement officials who drew the attention of everyone from the average fan to President Barack Obama.
After a few hours of final preparations with league officials, the next stop for the refs who gathered in Irving, Texas, was the airport. They'll be heading straight to their Sunday game sites.
"It was pretty much 'Come on it and vote,'" said Scott Green, president of the referees' association. "We're going to talk football now. We're going to stop talking about CBAs and lockouts and now we're going to talk about rules and video and getting ourselves ready to work football games."
They may get ovations similar to the one bestowed on the crew that worked Thursday's Cleveland-Baltimore game with the tentative deal in place. Before long, they expect to go back to being mostly anonymous and sometimes hated. They're OK with both.
"The last Super Bowl that I worked, when we got in the locker room, I said, 'You know, the best thing about this game, nobody will remember who refereed this game,'" Green said. "That's how we like to work."
Refs met for about an hour and a half Friday night to go over the contract, then gathered for another 30 minutes Saturday morning before the vote.
The deal came quickly after an increasing chorus of complaints became impossible to ignore when a disputed touchdown call on the final play gave the Seattle Seahawks a victory over the Green Bay Packers on national television Monday night. Many thought the ruling of a Seattle touchdown instead of a Green Bay interception was botched, and the labor dispute drew public comments from Obama and his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney.
By late Wednesday, the sides had a contract calling for refs' salaries to increase from an average of $149,000 a year in 2011 to $173,000 in 2013, rising to $205,000 by 2019. The current defined benefit pension plan will remain in place for current officials through the 2016 season or until the official earns 20 years' service.
The defined benefit plan will then be frozen. Retirement benefits will be provided for new hires, and for all officials beginning in 2017, through a defined contribution. Continued...
Beginning with the 2013 season, the NFL will have the option to hire a number of officials to work year-round. The NFL also can retain additional officials for training and development and assign those officials to work games. The number of additional officials will be determined by the league.
The officials that worked Thursday's Ravens-Browns game were cheered from the moment they walked onto the field. The difference between the regular crew and replacements was clear. The officials kept the game in control, curtailing the chippy play and choppy pace that had marred the first three weeks of the regular season.
"I think the thing we're most proud of is the lesson that we all learned is if you're going to be in a professional league, you've got top-notch coaches, you need professional officials as well," Green said.

The Wasioto Winds hotel project, which was approved in a 5-2 vote by the Bell County Tourism Commission about six months ago, is currently on hold due to a switch in lending institutions.
The developer of the project is in the process of switching lending institutions because of issues with the previous lender. Pineville Mayor Sherwin Rader stated the success of the project is totally in the hands of the developer.
The new lending institution is now requiring a new feasibility study before agreeing to lend the money. Rader stated she has given the developer until the end of January to get her a feasibility study.
According to Rader, if the lending institution agrees after the feasibility study is revealed, then there is good chance the hotel project will begin.
"Whatever happens, I'm not gonna quit (trying to get a hotel)," said Rader. "I want to see that hotel."
Bell County Judge-Executive Albey Brock stated that due to the previous controversy over the project, the previous lender decided not to lend money for the project.
The controversy Brock referenced involved the legality of funding a hotel project using the restaurant tax money.
Several members of the Bell County Tourism Commission made claims that it was illegal to fund the hotel project using restaurant tax revenue.
In a letter from Attorney General Jack Conway, it states the restaurant tax revenue could be used for a hotel project because state statutes only state the money from the tax has to be turned over to the tourism commission.
The statute also states the money from the restaurant tax must be used for the purpose of promoting and developing convention and tourist activities and facilities in the public interest.
"If the legislature had intended to forbid the use of restaurant tax revenue to subsidize a hotel, motel or restaurant, it would have so specified," said Conway in the response letter.
Conway did state in his letter that revenue from the transient room tax could not be used as a subsidy to a hotel, motel or restaurant.

My GF loves it from behind. But being a large guy, sometimesI have a hard time with the doggy style....
We both love this one...it's a keeper
The Bassett Hound variation of Doggy Style is so-called because of the closeness of both partners to the floor. The position is straightforward; the receiver on all fours with their partner holding on to the receiver's bottom or sides. Because of the low position the receiver's rear is pushed right back, while the giver's knees are placed to either side of the buttocks. The low position requires a degree of flexibility in both partners hips and may not be comfortable for many... but for those who can, the effort is more than worth it!
Before you could take the html-code and put it in a wordpress message on your blogg and the picture would come up with the movmenint but now you cant. Why? Or am i missing something?
Looks fun and I bet it feels so good. Especially an orgasm with that position. I might have to try it tonight with my current gf.
my bf nd i have tryed soooo many different positions nd this is one that we really like , he has a HUGE nd THICK cock nd when he fucks me like this he spanks me nd i can feel his balls slapping against me (;
this is the first one my hubby and i couldn't wait to try! it was great, felt so deep.
must try this with the hubby!! this will probably be the position for first time anal also!!!!!updates coming soon
Yeah. Thats all I can say.
wow :_ need to try this!
my bf had jsut got home from a deployment and hes always so horny cuz he hadnt had sex for months. i was scrubbing the floor and he just pushes me down and gave me anal.and that was my first time having anal too! at first i was like what the fuck and then he went and shoved his dick into my pussy. it hurt at first cuz i wasnt wet but then he bent over and started talkin dirty to me and that did the job. it made me moan and the more i moaned the harder he went. it was the kinkiest thing hes ever done and i was so turned on by it we ended up having sex right there. he needs to come home soon!
anal hurts sooooooo bad omg i almost died.
Sure? It culd be fun if handled properly
i agree with you.
If it hurt, you were doing something wrong.
Even with lots of lube and my hubby going s-l-o-w, I TOTALLY do NOT like Anal. Plus, he HAS to cum in my ass and it's so MESSY! I'm not a prude - I love almost all of the positions suggested. But It's just not my "thing". So, I decided that, since it felt so good to Hubby and I didn't want to, I bought him an anal masturbator. It's really tight - I hold it while he fu**s it and then he can slide into my vagina and go back in forth. Win-win! He loves the feel; shop around and get a quality one. it's so worth it and you'll both be happy :D
cor this is good!!! i came out drippin after this 1
When my boyfriend and I do this I almost always scream in pleasure. I like feeling submissive to him, as if I gotta surrender everything. I don't know maybe it's just me but I love it!!!
one of my fav
I like to use this position when my gf doing the housework, I silently come out from her back side and fucking her from the back..she so flabby when I fuck her. When women doing the home work is the best time, and show that they're very sexy...she so wet when I am keeping fucking her and she so enjoys the deeping that I have done for her...I can't stopping when she reply me her moaning,..I like to hearing the moaning she made,..she so co-operate to keep moaning, every time she wanted the deeping I fucking she will recall the moaning me, and I will give her the best fucking...till we all tired...
so, honeyhoneyclub do she ever finish cleaning? lol
This is one of my wife's favorite positions as it is very submissive and allows her to fantisize freely. She has strings of orgasms in it sometimes leaving her sweaty and exausted. She says that she can feel the head of my dick up near her navel while I am buried deep and the leg position makes everything tight inside so that she can feel all of my hard shaft when still or the ridge on the crown sliding the length of her 'tube' when I am thusting.
She feels very submissive and helpless when I pull her arms out to her sides, palm up, and hold her wrists while grinding my hips in circles, a movement she calls 'stirring the pot'. The movement slides me across her sensitive cervix and hits all her deepest hot spots.
She likes it when I finish while hooking my elbows over her hips for leverage to drive myself as deep as possible. She says that she never feels sexier than she does after we both finish in this position.
My wife also likes it when I hold her feet under my thighs in this position making her feel trapped and helpless. Sometimes I will put my knees on the inside of her knees and push them farther apart also making her feel more open, vulnerable and violated. If I take my time getting into her this way, I can tease her until she is dripping in anticipation.
My ex liked this pose alot. and she broked up with me because i knew too many positions and she though ive tried it on other ppl =/ o well her lost.
i loved to do this with my gf she loved it and i could get right in even though im a foot taller than her
omg, i love this position! it feels amazing when my boyfriend is pounding my pussy with his cock & i feel his balls slapping my clitoris. he goes in so deep. :)
God, i remember when i did this!
it was my first time & he suggested this position.
he pushed me so hard.. and when his dick went in , i swear i never felt so good
I've tried doing this position anally but it didn't work out because she was taller, until I got her to bend down further and it still didn't workout because I'm not fit enough ¥_¥ My legs get tired so fast and I have to end up changing positions within a minute. She likes it, but it isn't comfy for me, yet I keep wanting to try it. I'm just so frustrated that the only comfortable position for me is laying side-ways, laying ontop, or on the bottom -and don't get me wrong, I'm a skinny dude, but I'm just too caught up in other objectives to exercise µ_u
Tried it with my bf and we loved it, he pounded my ass so hard it drove me crazy. Love anal sex :D
just broke up with my fiance cuz she cheated, looking to get back at her. anyone that wants to fuck that lives in wisconsin should reply to this. im 19 an just looking for some fun no-strings-attached sex.
wish i could help ;)but u live a little to far.. :(fun relationship's or just little flings that are strictly sexual are the best.
Love this Position omg we didthis last night it's one of my favorites
hell yea ik this is fuckin awsome! my girl loves it
and i pull on her hair too!!!
just cant wait to do it with my girl... she is passionate about it but she never asks me... any recommendations??
All girls I was with likes to be fucked using this style, specially when you have 10 inch thick cock going in and out inside there tight holes , its fantastic to hear them moaning while shaking ass.
all girls love 10 inch thick cocks pounding their tight holes.
Me and my lad don't do this one every time we have sex, but when we do its great, I suggested it to him the first time cause I was lying on my front and refused to move so he grabed me softly round the waist and pulled me into this position... we have never tried the anal version but vanginal works great especially if your not quite wet enough, it feels so strong without needing to thrust heavily.
anybodi want to dirty talk
dirty talk can be fun sweettwat.
i loved this one my bf got so f**kn deep it was amazing when he leanded over me and kissed my neck
I can't wait to try this one out.
I am so horny just looking at it.
this is amazing!!
this is sooo... wow!! i love how his hands will grip my hips as he just pounds into me...
its just... WOW!!!
it was weird for my boyfriend cuz his first experience wasnt the best, but he loved it! :)
me n my husband did this while our kid was downstairs and oh my god it was so good. i love it hard and deep and he went sooo deep...i meen my pussy was like soaking after this. he likes to play with my boobs and slap my ass while we do it...just thinking bout it again makes me wet :D
WOW that sounds soooooooooo good!
Feels so good. This and other similar ones/regualar doggy is nice, leapfrog -> my favorite.
It can be as ruff as he wants or as gental if he leans forward and kisses your back or blows between your shoulderblades. Also it is the most amazing experience if he leans forward and puts an arm around you and holds you close for a minute. so sweet makes me want to cry. LOVE IT
i love doing this with my girlfriend i end up going really deep inside her and being able to kiss her back is a bonus to her pleasure
Can I Say great feeling..Esp. when he leans over to kiss you...
I tried with my ex one time the problem was we were not that flexible and had horrible floors to do it on where our knees would start to kill us after a couple of minutes. But I hope to do it again under better circumstances
Damn this looks amazing i want to be fuck up the ass. grr this animation is making me so wet that he woould just slip right in. i would love for him to play with my tits when fuckin me up the ass (:
can you do this position but not with anal ??? x
This is a great position for vaginal fucking. It feels so great on my cock and she enjoys how deep I can get. It is nice to reach around and grab her tits while I continue to pump away.
DEFINITELY!!!!! My bf and I did this position on Valentine's Day and it's so great!!!!! :D

(2) Hello pretty new shoes...
As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going.
Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous
(4) We found another Hide & Seek book at Borders the other day and my girl already LOVES it. If you have a toddler around Brooke's age, this is something to look into!
(5) My cousins are now 5 & 8 and are thankfully outgrowing all of their old toys and DVDs, which means that Brooke is the lucky hand-me-down recipient of their stuff! This is the latest DVD they handed over to us and we've watched it A MILLION TIMES already... it was made in the early 90s, so the wardrobe is amazeballs and super old school. They reeeeally need to update this puppy, but Brooke loves it!

For organizer Shannon Sutphin, Saturday's community Thanksgiving dinner at Flat Rock Baptist Church was less about turkey and dressing and more about serving the community.
Sutphin was joined by dozens of volunteers in preparing a traditional Thanksgiving meal that he hoped would be enjoyed by the community.
He said that while Saturday's dinner was the first Thanksgiving meal prepared by the church, the concepts of feeding the hungry and reaching out to the community are nothing new.
"This is really a church outreach project," he said as he looked over table after table of people enjoying the fruits of his labor. "We've been having outreach meals for as long as I can remember, but this is the first time we've tried a Thanksgiving dinner."
The seeds of Saturday's event were planted months ago, Sutphin said.
"We started talking about it a few months back after we thought about a group here at the church that got together and went out into the community helping people," he said. "This is something we decided to do both for Thanksgiving and the community."
Sutphin cooked eight 20- to 23-pound birds, but decided to offer a little variety.
"They're fixed about four different ways," he said. "We've smoked some, fried some and cooked some in the oven in the traditional way. It's kind of a mixture."
And volunteers at the church carried more than three dozen meals to Twelve Oaks Nursing Home and to shut-in members of the church.
Saturday's dinner was open to anyone who wanted to attend, and the meal was offered free of charge.
"We advertised it in both the media and on our sign out front," Sutphin said. "And thankfully people are starting to get used to seeing the meals we try to do every month or so."
And more is to come, he added.
"People can just keep watching our sign," he said. "We're already talking about doing a breakfast after the first of the year.
"We're here to try to help feed people while spreading the Word at the same time."

By Herbert Lash
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The dollar soared on Friday against major currencies on growing speculation that the Federal Reserve could soon begin to rein in its asset-buying program and after data showed U.S. consumer sentiment hit an almost six-year high in early May.
Global equity indexes pushed to new highs, with the benchmark S&P 500 rebounding from its worst drop in nearly three weeks. Major European equity indexes climbed to highs last seen five years ago or longer, helped by a rally in automakers' shares, which rose on signs of a revival in domestic sales.
Stocks on both sides of the Atlantic were boosted after a survey of U.S. consumer sentiment in early May rose more than economists had expected, with more Americans giving favourable views about their financial and economic prospects, particularly among upper-income households.
In a separate report by an industry group, a gauge of future economic activity also suggested the expected U.S. slowdown will be temporary, with the index rising in April to a near five-year high.
The two reports were encouraging after a raft of data on Thursday had suggested broader U.S. growth is cooling.
The dollar's strength was largely attributed to the euro, which fell to a six-week low on talk the European Central Bank could introduce negative deposit rates, a move that effectively would make banks pay to park their cash overnight with the ECB.
The ECB had no immediate comment.
The dollar index, which measures its value against a basket of six major currencies, rose to 84.371, its highest in nearly three years. Around midday in New York, the dollar index was up 0.81 percent at 84.263.
The euro fell 0.42 percent to $1.2827, while the dollar hit a 4-1/2-year high versus the Japanese yen, up 0.95 percent at 103.21 yen.
"The consumer sentiment report fed into the story of the U.S. outperforming other countries," said Sebastien Galy, FX strategist at Societe Generale in New York.
"Markets want to be long the dollar and there is a snowball effect going on," he said. "Markets are also desperate for trends, and once they identify one they forge ahead."
A measure of global equity activity, MSCI's all-country world stock index, rose 0.15 percent in a rocky session as it was pulled downward by emerging markets.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 101.45 points, or 0.67 percent, at 15,334.67. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 14.42 points, or 0.87 percent, at 1,664.89. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 27.62 points, or 0.80 percent, at 3,492.86.
Among other indexes, the Russell 2000 index of small- and mid-cap stocks, was up 9.95 points, or 1.01 percent, at 995.29.
The FTSEurofirst-300 index of European shares bounced off session lows to rise 0.22 percent to close at 1,248.18, a five-year closing high. The index was up 1.3 percent for the week, marking a fourth straight week of gains.
In London, the FTSE-100 index gained 0.53 percent to 6,723.06, a level last seen in October 2007.
Gold fell for a seventh straight session, its longest losing streak in four years, driven by speculation that the Fed may soon ease its asset-purchase program.
Spot gold prices lost $23.29 to $1,362.40 an ounce.
U.S. stocks and gold prices fell on Thursday, while the dollar rose following comments from John Williams, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, that the Fed could begin easing up on stimulus this summer.
Prices for U.S. Treasuries added to losses after the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's preliminary reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment rose to 83.7 in early May from 76.4 last month, topping economists' expectations for 78.
The May reading was the highest level since July 2007.
The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell 22/32 in price to yield 1.9541 percent.
In Europe, German Bunds hit one-week highs, with traders citing talk that the ECB was checking with banks on whether they were ready for a potential cut in its deposit rate to below zero.
German Bund futures rose as much as 43 ticks on the day to 145.74, before paring gains to trade 17 ticks lower.
Oil climbed for a third straight session, supported by a raft of strong economic data, though the strong dollar limited gains.
Brent crude rose 86 cents to settle at $104.64 a barrel. U.S. crude futures settled 86 cents higher at $96.02.
