Thanks! I have to make some road breakfast yet; think I'm going to make some muffins and we can take a large thermal cup of something to drink with them.

[sweetnell3]

Hello Ladies! Hope your day went well. Cat have a safe trip tomorrow and I pray all goes well with your doctors visit.DeBora hope everytime goes great at school tomorrow for you. Audrey had a great time at the dance even though she said it was cold as they had it outside.Someone had spilled hot coca on her jacket so one of the young men from our church let her use his hoodie,he told her that he was hot but she could tell he was cold but he refuse to take his hoodie back. Hope you both have a good night!

[cat lover]

So glad Audrey had a good time. That was sure a sweet gesture by that young man! Well get back with all of you tomorrow I hope! Have a good evening!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I am so glad that Audrey had a good time. Was the guy good-looking? If so, it was well worth it. ;) I am glad guys today still have some respect for women.

I so dread tomorrow. It is the beginning of another LONG week! I have an interview on Friday with a Forensic evaluation place. I hope it is all I expect it to be. I need the 3 credits next semester so I am hoping that it is. I will have to drive the 10 or 15 miles to the Texas border. lol However, excluding Thanksgiving break, we only have 3 weeks of school left. I am terribly anxious as I am not ready to take my GRE exam for graduate school. I have been doing a bit of research so that I will know what information to give my professors for letters of recommendation. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I will be so glad when this whole applying to grad schools process is over. lol

[sweetnell3]

The young man is very nice looking,he is in Audrey's math class at school.They like to tease each other alot.His famliy moved here in May as his dad is a doctor.He has a older brother that is around 17 that is cute and sweet also.This young man is in band,he for some reason has been extra nice to Audrey the last few days. Hope your week is better than you think it will be.Ladies do either one of you make bread pudding? My son discover that he likes it so may make some for christmas dinner. Have a good night!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

A doctor's son? Cool! I have made bread pudding many times. However, I never use a recipe since I am usually dealing with day old bread. But, with the liquids use a ratio of 2 eggs per 1 cup of milk. Sugar could be a tad bit over a 1/4 cup. I chop the bread into large cubes. Then, I place them in a greased casserole dish. You can add raisins and nuts at this point. In a bowl, I blend together the milk, sugar, and eggs. I pour that mixture over my bread. I then bake on 375 degree oven until it comes out clean like a cake. But, that is just the way I make it. I may even use several different types of leftover breads. Good luck!

[sweetnell3]

deBora actually all the young people at our church is very close and look out for each other at school and at all church actives. There are about ten of our youth that goes to the same school.Alot of the others goes to differ schools. I think our school has the largest group. Hope all is going well today for both of you ladies!

[cat lover]

Here is a bread pudding I have made; it's been awhile.

24 slices stale French bread( you can use any bread really)
1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup raisins
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
2 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
4 cups milk, scalded

1/2 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup water
3 tbsp bourbon(you can use rum flavoring if you want no alcohol)
1/2 cup butter, softened

Spread one side of bread slices with softened butter. On a large baking sheet place the bread slices in a single layer with butered side up. Toast in oven for about 8 minutes or till brown. Remove from oven and put bread slices in a shallow 2 qt. baking dish. Scatter the raisins over the top and set aside. In a large bowl beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt together well with a whisk. Gradually add the scalded milk, whisking till combined very well. Pour over the toasted bread. Press the bread slices down into the egg- milk mixture and let stand 2 hours. Press the bread back down into the mixture several times during that time. Place this casserole into a larger pan and place on one of your oven shelves.Pour boiling water into the larger pan halfway up the sides of the casserole. Bake at 350 degrees about 1 hour or till golden. Remove from the water bath onto a wire rack. Prepare the sauce by combining the brown sugar, water and bourbon into a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a slow boil. WIth a whixk beat in 1/2 cup of butter till it is melted. Pour some sauce over the puidding. Serve the rest for others to pour "extra" on their serving. Serve warm. Serves 8

Sometimes I would make a hot caramel sauce,other times a chocolate sauce;
my grandmother even made a lemon sauce sometimes for bread pudding. It really just depends on what you like!

Hope this is what you wanted. I also have a recipe for a Chococlate Bread Pudding, a Brandied Raisin Custard Bread Pudding, an New Orleans Style Bread Pudding. If you would like any of those just let me know!

Hope everyone had a good day today!

[sweetnell3]

Thanks Cat ! That recipe helps alot. Can this be made with like splenda as I thought about making it for Thanksgiving mil and a neice can't have regular suger.But thet love to eat sweets. Hope all is well with you and that you are having a good night!

[cat lover]

Good morning. I'm supposed to go to Jasper today, but we are having so much rain I'm not real sure about going today. Concerned about getting flooded out of the driveway when I come back home so..... So will have to decide soon!

Such a cute Thanksgiving tag! Have a good day!

[sweetnell3]

Hello Ladies! Hope your day is going well.Its windy and cold here so staying in as much as I can,got to take Audrey to town later for actives at church.Will go to Wal-Mart to look around while she's at the church.Have a great evening ladies!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I am just popping in on my way for Forensic Law. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for side dishes that would go good with Pierogi Lasagna? I already have green bean casserole, yams, and salad planned for other meals and would like not to be redunante. Thanks! Better rush off!

[sweetnell3]

DeBora sorry I can't help you out. Cat hope all is going well with you.Have a good night ladies!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I forgot, pierogi lasagna IS a side dish! lol I just needed a main course to go with it. lol I hope everyone survived hump day. I am counting down the days until Thanksgiving break! Nell, I bet your children are doing the very same thing.

[cat lover]

DeBora,does your recipe contain sour cream, mashed potatoes, and sauerkraut? If that is sort of how you make yours a pork roast would go good with it! And heck,even a regular ole roasted turkey; or are you wanting to do something different than turkey? I'm sure I can give you some other ideas; just let me know!

Hope you day went well yesterday Sweetnell and yours too DeBora! We stayed home most of the day yesterday; went to English early and got back home because of all the rain. The doctor called with test results on DH and they still aren't good so they are trying something different before more surgery. Still unknown on the cancer. So we will have to sit and wait" longer. I told the doctor just the "C" word is nerve racking, but he explained all the procedures and why we are going the route we are which makes very good sense once you have all the factors. Still the "C" word bothers me!

Am going to try and go to Jasper maybe today, but even though it is still dark out I can hear the creek bed we cross to get out flowing big time, so I'll have to drive down to he end of the drive at daylight and see if we will be going or not! LOL More rain to come today also, so our plans may be ditched today!

So if we stay hom ....again; maybe I can catch up on posts! LOL Have a good day!

[cat lover]

Thanks Cat ! That recipe helps alot. Can this be made with like splenda as I thought about making it for Thanksgiving mil and a neice can't have regular suger.But thet love to eat sweets. Hope all is well with you and that you are having a good night!

Sweetnell, on the substituting splenda for your MIL, I would first talk to her and see if there is one that works well for her to be sure it is one she can have. If you do use Splenda in this recipe you need to use the Splenda Sugar Blends for baking; the substitution would be: for the regular 1 1/2 cup sugar use 3/4 cup splenda sugar blend for baking; for the 1/2 cup brown sugar use 1/4 cup splends brown sugar blend for baking. These amounts would be different if you just used plain splenda.Good Luck!

Ladies do either one of you make bread pudding? My son discover that he likes it so may make some for christmas dinner. Have a good night!
Sorry for the back to backs; I'm trying to play catch up and keep going from here to there instead of "organizing myself this morning." Sweetnell, I forgot about this one; here is the link to another Bread Pudding Recipe- it is also very good!

Cat, did you know that you can scroll down to see what others have posted while in reply mode?

My pierogi lasagna recipe does not have sauerkraut or sour cream. It is pretty basic. It has potatoes, lots of onions and butter (or oil), cheddar cheese, salt and pepper, and lasagna noodles. I won't be serving the pork roast until Thursday. I don't plan on making turkey on this trip. I am making the pierogi lasagna casserol on Monday and plan on making it ahead since I have to take my DD to the doctor on Monday in Roswell and it will be an easy, pop in the oven when I get home, type of thing. I hope I have made since for you.

Cat, I am sorry about the bad results on your DH. I hope everything works out better for him.

Nell, I hope you day went well. Audrey is one busy girl. Tell her hello for me. What is your DS doing these days?

Well, I need to hurry and catch up on posts as I have to tutor a student within an hour.

[cat lover]

Cat, did you know that you can scroll down to see what others have posted while in reply mode?

Yes I know I can do that, but I usually just go to my email notifications and read my emails that way, so I end up doing one post at a time. And sometimes I end up back where I've already been to answer something. I've been so busy lately I keep falling behind in all my emails. Seems I get them down close to 150 and next time I look I have over 300! LOL


Got to Jasper today and you should see the lake;Patoka Lake; it is way over the banks! But we got to Jasper and back home with out getting too wet! LOL


Sweetenell hope your day has gone well!

[sweetnell3]

DeBora would you share your pierogi lasagna recipe it sounds like somethoing that I would like. Cat hope you were able to get all you neede to get done so you can stay home. Audrey is happy as she got to bring her dress home, she looks so grown-up in it can't wait to get pictures of her in it. Ds stays busy working and when he is not he is either playing games or sleeping. Lately he been going to friends home and hanging out. Dh has to work this Saturday so Audrey and I will be on our own, there's a craft show this saturday so will maybe go check it out. This Sunday is mom's birthday not sure what to get her yet. Hope you both have a good night! Cat keeping you and your dh in my prayers.Audrey has three days of school next week then they get out for Thanksgiving.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I am glad everything is going well. I am to rush off to stuff a few court cases for tomorrow's role play in criminal procedural law; I will be Clarence Thomas. lol

Here's the recipe. I thought I had it posted somewhere, but I don't. I got it from FC and it is delicious!

Pierogi Lasagna

12 lasagna noodles
1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil
5 onions, finely chopped (approx. 3 cups)
1/2 tsp. pepper
1-1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
6 cups mashed potatoes, seasoned

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cook the noodles and set aside. In a skillet, heat the oil. Sauté the onions until golden and place 1/2 cup of the onions aside. Make the mashed potatoes and add the onions (except the onions that have been placed aside), pepper and cheese; mixing well. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray. Place 3 noodles on the bottom then spread 1/3 of the potato mixture over them. Continue this process making three layers of potatoes and 4 layers of noodles. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup onions on the noodles. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes or until heated through.

NOTE: You can add some sliced mushrooms or even 1 cup of drained sauerkraut.

[sweetnell3]

Good Morning Ladies! Hope all is well with you,I'm getting ready to go to town to paid bills and buy the food for the next two weeks. Thanks Debora for the recipe I love pierogi's so I thought I would like this also. Have a good day ladies. Oh, I wanted to tell you that bil went back to work if you don't read the prayer thread at FC.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Nell, that is good news about your bil. I like this lasagna. It takes very much like pierogis.

I am on my way to an interview to forensics evaluations firm for a field experience class. I will be tutoring for 2 hours as soon as I get finished there. Then, we have role play for the US Supreme Court in criminal procedure class. Unless another student can get a babysitter between 2 and 6, I will tutor her at about 9pm. It is against my rules, but she needs it. Depending on how late I am finished, I will be going home either tonight or in the morning to Carlsbad. I need a break in the worst way!

I hope everyone else is doing well.

[sweetnell3]

Hello ladies! Hope you have a safe trip home DeBora and enjoy your break from school.Cat hope all is well with you and your dh. A dear friend of mine died yesterday after a long illness.He was only 49 year old,I was sadden to hear about his death. On the uup side I got my hair cut short today as I was looking shaggy lol. Found a nice top and pants I would like to get for the banquet if I go. Well hope you both have a good evening!

[cat lover]

DH is just being grumpy right now, but I guess he has the right to be grumpy right now! We are going to Louisville tomorrow; I'm helping DIL make some curtains. Maybe it will give DH and DS#2 some time together. I already have my sewing table and sewing machine put in the truck so I think I have everything we need! LOL


Have some potato salad and small pot of chili fixed for supper tonight. Better go and get that ate and cleaned up, 6 am will come around early! Hope all are doing well and enjoy your weekend!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Nell, I am sorry about your friend. Enjoy your banquet, if you go. Sounds like you got a little make-over. I bet you feel better too.

I went to the interview and I will be taking this class once I spend one morning observing. It is a counseling and day rehab for the moderate to severe mentally ill adults. Once I spend time observing, after Thanksgiving break and I feel that I can handle this, I will sign up for the class, which is field experience. I have decided to leave in the morning to Carlsbad since it will be 9pm when class gets out and I will probably be tutoring a student after that.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

[sweetnell3]

Good morning Ladies hope you both have safe trips! Cat hope you have a nice time with dil and that you dh & ds get to send a good time togather.DeBora hope you will enjoy your time off from school and will get to relax. Are your kids joining you for Thanksgiving? We are going to dh's parents as his sisters and their families are coming in from Lubbock. Have a good day ladies!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

My DD and Gks are coming late tonight. My DS's plane will come in early Tuesday morning, so we will take DD back to Texas and keep the GKs until Thursday morning to give my DD a break. So, yes and no about my kids coming. My DD and her family take turns with her DHs family and us as far as the holidays. Last year we got them for Thanksgiving, but not for Christmas. Christmas works out better for me since I am not in school and studying. This year we get them for Christmas.

I hope everyone has a terrific holiday week!

[sweetnell3]

Hello Ladies! Hope your is gonig well, Found out today that a guy dh and I knew died Friday he was only 54. This one was a suprise as I just saw this man about a month ago as far I know he wasn't sick.Now for good news dd is passing all her classes now she just got to keep it up.English and math 73 is her lowest grades. The football team is to play their second playoff game this friday, at this piont dd will get to go and maybe perform. We went to see mom as it is her birthday, got her a Elivs Presley ornament that play Stuck On You ,she love it.Doubt it will might it to the tree as she kept playing it over and over . She is 75 now.Have a good evening ladies!

[cat lover]

Spent the whole day with DS2 and DIL. DH got to "help" DS with a couple of small projects while DIL and I went shopping for the backing material for the curtains. Gopt them all done and hung by 8 last night. Since it was so late DH and I ate at a resdtaurant called Rafferty's. A nice sit down place that he could get a meal almost within his guidelines. While we were at DS2"s house DS1 came by and visited a bit so we got to see them both.

I was planning on picking up my fresh vegetables for Thankdsgiving Day, but it was so late when we got done I didn't feel like doing that. So tomorrow we will go to Jasper and pick up what we need. I hope to miss the grocery store rushes! LOL

Hope everyone has a good evening! Like the turkey tag sweetnell! Have a safe trip DeBora!

[sweetnell3]

Hope both of you had a great day! Mine was fair but nothing to shout about.Got a lot of washing to do,also Audrey's last day of school til Monday.Have a good night ladies!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Nell, poor Audrey, I got out the entire week this week!

I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful holiday week!

I got another email from one of the pre-psych majors that volunteer in the lab. I had already told him that I would be out of town this week. My professor cancelled 2 meetings last week he had with me and another girl as well as the entire lab. However, he mentioned that he wanted me to get things prepared for data analysis and agreed with me that I should move them to another computer so that it wouldn't interfere with my subjects coming in to run studies. However, I got yet another email from this kid asking me if I could meet with him today! I decided that since I told him, and forward the same email to the professor and the lab manager, that I would be out of town for Thanksgiving, I would not answer it. Then, a few minutes ago, I got an email from the professor to this kid telling him to forward that email to me and ask me for what hours I am available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The kid forwarded the email and asked if today at 3 would be fine. I have decided to not answer it until after Thanksgiving. When I do answer it, I will copy and paste the orginal email stating that I would be out of town. I will also email the professor about what is going on, since this is all news to me as to what is going on. I have 12 subjects already lined up for Monday and Tuesday.

Sorry, I am just upset that we are all supposed to be on Thanksgiving break and I get all these emails, even though I stated that I would be out of town. Grrr

My DH and DS are on their way back from Midland, TX. his plane got in a little over an hour ago. The GKs are awake and are eating eggs in the basket. I hope everyone has a great holiday.

[sweetnell3]

DeBora don't you know not only men have selected hearing but also selected reading.They read only what they want to read! So don't let it spoil your holiday,enjoy your time with your family. Audrey has a partice this afternoon then karate.Tomorrow her favorite cousins are coming in so hopefully she'll get to spend time with them.Cat hope your day is going well. Hope both of you will have a good afternoon!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Nell, I knew about the selected hearing. But, I figured that these highly intellegent males could at least read black and white text! Grrr! I have just decided to wait until after Thanksgiving to think about it and worry about it more. I just poured out my feelings and then I feel better. Thanks for listening.

I hope Audrey has fun at practice. Enjoy the cousins and Thanksgiving.

Cat, I hope your day is going well as well.

I got my pain specialist's secretary who sets the procedures to put me on a quick call list so if there are any cancellations, she will call me asap. That will be nice. DS came and it is difficult to get DGD to settle down to take a nap since he is also full of energy! DGS is so whiney. He was up screaming most of the night and then he awakened very early. He was in a good mood this morning and even played well. DH went down for a nap about 30 minutes ago since he is working the graveyard shift. He took the DGS to bed with him and he was so tired that he didn't fight it. lol I think with him taking an earlier nap and not sleeping until noon, he should sleep well tonight.

Last night I made chicken enchiladas and peirogi lasagna. We were going to have chicken and dressing casserole tonight, but since we have so many leftovers, we are going to have that instead.

I hope everyone else is having a terrific holiday weekend.

[cat lover]

Hope you have a good and relaxing holiday with your famiy DeBora. Yeah, you are on vacation, if they didn't read it right when you sent it; it's not your fault you are already gone! LOL Don't let it worry you while you spend time with your family.

Sweetnell, sounds like you all will be busy with family also, so have fun!

I started getting things together today to cook tomorrow; going to go ahead and have a regular Thanksgiving meal at home. I had DH in the kitchen with me tonight assembling the supper casserole while I got some of the turkey cut up and packaged for Thursday. He doesn't cook, but it was still sort of some help! LOL

Everyone have a good evening and hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Cat, I am glad you have your Thanksgiving planned.

Nell, I hope Audrey had a great time at practice and karate.

I take the GKs back tomorrow afternoon. We plan on having pork roast, greenbean casserole, tossed green salad, rolls, and dump cake for Thanksgiving dinner. DS will be here until Sunday night. School starts back up on Monday, so I will be heading back on Sunday afternoon as well.

[sweetnell3]

Happy Thanksgining to everyone! Hope you all have a safe and wonderful day! Enjoy your meal.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I hope everyone is enjoying their time with loved ones. I am roasting some garlic to put with my pork roast.

[cat lover]

Hello! We had a lady down the road up to eat with us. We had turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes with cranberries,turnips, brussel sprouts, squash casserole,coleslaw,cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie and pecan pie. DH has already "retired" to the La-Z-Boy, and me here to the computer!

Have to go fed and water all the animals soon before it is dark. Called the DS's and they ate together at younger DS's house so they had a good day. Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I always bring a plate of food to the neighbor. We are planning to go to the drive-in next semeser.

[sweetnell3]

Hello Ladies! Cat glad to hear that you have had a good day and plenty to eat.DeBora hope your day was wonderful and a good time with your famliy!We had a great time with plenty of food,we also had a small bit of early christmas as this sil and famliy won't be here for christmas.Audrey got some new clothes a American Eagle hoodie & pants from her cousins.Dh & I got a 50 dollar gift certifate from sil& bil.The girls got me some body spray,lotion & shower gel from Bath & Body Works it smells soo good. Dh got film for his camera & a25 dollar movie pass for the theater here.Any way as you can tell we had a great time.Have a great night!

[cat lover]

DeBora, I'm confused! LOL The only drive-in that comes to my mind is the drive-in movies; that isn't what you are talking about is it?

Sweetnell, so glad you and your family had such a good time! I love the "shopping" turkey on your post! Need to get some sleep soon. Going to CVS in the morning, they have a portable DVD for 19.99; may or may not get there in time, but that is the only place I plan on going, then back home after I mail two of the last three gifts. Good night!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

DeBora, I'm confused! LOL The only drive-in that comes to my mind is the drive-in movies; that isn't what you are talking about is it?

The drive-in movies have never left Carlsbad. Plus, they are making a big come back. So, yes, we are talking about the movies. If you ever come to Carlsbad, go to Fiesta Drive-In (http://www.fiestadrivein.com/). Most tourists know about the Caverns, but not about our drive-in movies that have been written about in magazines. We usually grill hamburgers and wrap them in foil and take an icechest of soft drinks and have a blast. This will be especially difficult for me as Jet-Bo loved to go to the movies as does Poncho. So, this will be my first without Bo. Tonight, I think we will see Escape Clause.

Nell, if ever emotion could be transferred to text, it sounds like you had fun!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving. I spent most of it preparing to apply to graduate schools. Tomorrow is a better day for us as DH will be off and DS wants to take pictures. He could do that today as most places were closed.

I am awake at this terrible hour because Bonte needed to go potty. lol

[sweetnell3]

Hello Ladies! Cat hopeyou got what you went for.Debora sounds like a like of fun,we have a drive-in-theater screen but it went out of business years ago.Dh and I had a lot of dates there but by 1987 it was closed. Not sure what we're going to do yet but do need to go get a few things.Have a great day ladies!

[cat lover]

Oh I love drive-in movies! Since we live in a rural area there are three although a bit of a drive to go, but at least they are still around. They do close for the winter though not like it used tobe when they were all open even in the winter. DH and I just don't go anymore just glad we used to.

Got the DVD palyers for 19.99 this morning and then mailed the packages and came home. Digging a 35 foot long trench 18" deep to take some electric to the barn. Have to do that part today and the next couple days before rain comes so talk to you all later! Have a good evening!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Well, I heard drive-ins are coming back. They just built one in Midland, Texas. This one has been around forever. It is also very nice. DS just realized that the Mavericks are playing tonight. So, we may put off the movies until tomorrow.

Cat, you are brave to go shopping on Black Friday! I needed a few things at the grocery store, but I sent my DH and DS as I HATE shopping with a passion. I am glad you got your shopping done. I haven't even started.

Well, I need to catch up on emails and posts and then back to preparting applications to graduate school.

[cat lover]

The one store I went to was in our little town 10 miles away; the one with one grocery, one pharmacy, one hardware, and a dollar general. so not crowded! LOL I use to do the black friday thing when they boys were small and then I worked in retail for 10 years so I've had enough of all that! LOL

[cat lover]

Just dropping by to say hi! Hope everyone is having a good weekend! The weather here has been beautiful; high in the 60's so we've taken advantage of it and done some outside projects! Talk to you all later! I haven't been getting post notifications all weekend; has anyone else had the problem?

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Cat, I haven't had any problems getting notifications.

Has anyone seen Nell? Oh wait, I just noticed that she is online. lol

I hope everyone had a terrific weekend. I just got back to Cruces from Carlsbad. I am relaxing and watching Titantic, which is on TNT. I have been wanting to watch that for awhile. I also have to finish writing down information for my professors for letters of recommendation for graduation school. I am really bumming about my break being over.

Take care all!

[sweetnell3]

Good evening ladies! DeBora glad you made it back saftly! This has been a fair weekend ,I found out Friday that my cousin has been sent back to Iraqi the first of this month. Her mom has her ds as she is a single mom. Audrey and I went window shopping but didn't really buy any presents. Not sure what I'm going to get mom yet. Cat glad to hear that you got alot done. have a good night!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Nell, I am sorry about your cousin. I hope you and Audrey had a blast today. Tomorrow school starts for me. I hope everyone else has a great day!

[sweetnell3]

I hope all goes well at school this week for you DeBora.Audrey has school tomorrow also,the nextnfew weeks are going to be busy for us. Our church has started it yearly food drive. On Dec2 is the town christmas parade plus alot of other actives. On the 8 is our christmas party at church. On Dec. 9 I think is the band banquet, on the 12 is a party for the women of the church and a ornament exchange.The 13 we have a special progam for the young women, that is also dh's birthday. Not sure about other thing but this is enough to keep us busy for awhile and lots of fun!

[sweetnell3]

Good evening ladies! DeBora hope your day was great. Cat here's hoping all is well with you and your dh! Things are okay here Audrey has christmas parade saturday,its suppose to be cold that day. Have a good night ladies!

[cat lover]

Been working on some security lights most of the day. Had a wiring problem it turns out, one fixed ,and will look at the other tomorrow in between vet visits!

It is supposed to be cold here by Friday morning; they are even calling for that white stuff! Hope they are wrong!

Good luck to you DeBora and Audrey, you too on returning to school. So,etimes I thinkI would have more time if I was in school, because I run out of time right now! LOL

Have a good evening everyone!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Cat, you can keep all that cold and all that white stuff. lol

Nell, you sure sound like you are going to be busy these next few weeks.

Today it rained here, which is a rarity. lol We even got some miled hail. The hailed looked like those dippin dot icecream. lol I have been worried about Bonte since he is over 12 weeks old and still has not testes. Well, tonight, I notice that one has just about dropped and another is on its way! I was so afraid that he would have to have major surgery to be neutered.

I have a major headache today. I do have an appointment to have my nerve block on the 2nd of January. That will be nice, but it seems so far away. I got ahold of my old boss from Carlsbad, who retired not too long ago, and found out he is moving. I am not sure if he is going to write my letter of recommendation or not since he is quite old and forgot he promised he would write it. He even said he would be happy to write it. I have emailed my old advisor to see if he will write some on my behalf. He won't look as good on paper as the boss since he is not a professor and nor is he a doctor. However, he does know me as a student and if the boss forgots or misses the deadline, I won't be out of luck.

Well, better catch up on emails. I am ready to go to bed.

Nell, tell Audrey I will be thinking of her as we count down to the end of the semester or Christmas break!

I hope everyone is doing well.

Since this thread is getting quite long, I have started a new thread for us to chat on called Coffee Chit Chat (http://www.momsmenu.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10966#post10966). I hope to see you there!

We usually make a huge batch to have one day with gravy and then the next day fried with a butter (not real crisy). They are a real stomach filler! :p

[dval]

[cat lover]

Oh I do believe we are enjoying them!

[dval]

This isn't exactly a food tag but I thought it was cool looking. This is a cauliflower my hubby picked up for me to eat. It tasted pretty good.

[dval]

Here you go! I knew I had another one. Doesn't this look delish?

[cat lover]

Wow, it does look good! Did you grow it yourself? It looks like it is sittig in ice!

[cat lover]

Here you go! I knew I had another one. Doesn't this look delish?


I have some vegetable stew cooking in the crockpot right now; this would be a wonderful dessert to go with it! LOL

[Coll]

I wonder what kind of cauliflower that is? I've only ever seen white.

[dval]

Wow, it does look good! Did you grow it yourself? It looks like it is sittig in ice!No, hubby bought it in the supermarket. I looked it up on the internet when he bought it. I think it's got King in the name. I'll have to check with hubby when he returns and see if he remembers.

[dval]

I found out what it is: Romanesco

Here is a link (http://www.answers.com/topic/romanesco) to a story about it.

[dval]

I found some food morphs that look cute.
The tomatoe seems a bit creepy though....

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Donna, I agree that the tomato is a little creepy. But, it does make me hungry for fried green tomatoes!

[cat lover]

Just watched the movie Fried Green Tomatoes the other night on TV. LOL

Maybe a good Halloween food tag!

[sweetnell3]

DeBora I'm like you that green tomato make me hungrey for some fried ones.But it is creepy LoL.

[cat lover]

Miss seeing some of your food tags Sweetnell!

[cat lover]

Anyone find any newer or different food tags lately?

[sweetnell3]

Cat right now I don't have my own computer so I have to use my dh's & he's picky about what goes on it.I hope to get my own computer later but will have to wait til everythings done with the trailer or I get a job.But I do miss looking for the tags as I had alot of fun finding the different ones.

[cat lover]

I always enjoyed your food tag finds sweetnell! Understand DH's being "picky", they get that way sometimes! lol

[dval]

Sweetnell, you could always get a USB memory stick to store your files on. Or an external hard drive that plugs into a USB port. That way you wouldn't "clutter" his hard drive.

[sweetnell3]

Found some new food tags so trying to see if I can post them.

[cat lover]

Hmmm, is that pie with marshmallow creme? Looks good what ever it is, can you tell I'm hungry? LOL

[sweetnell3]

Actually its some kind of pizza I'm just not sure what kind.

[cat lover]

Oh, guess that is cheese and some type of sausage; still looks good! Thanks!

[cat lover]

Anyone still finding some really cute tags?

[dval]
