We really enjoyed breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen, I wanted to do dinner but hubby likes breakfast foods a lot. Something about unlimited bacon. Have fun!

I'm with your hubby breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. And with unlimited bacon, you can't go wrong!

Sympathy like. I hope that storm falls apart before getting to your area xoxo and stay safe

I wish I lived somewhere warm. But, I would miss the kids and GK's. It's a trade off.

Drive careful!

Hubby is a good driver, and we will drive according to the conditions. Thanks!

bring jammies just in case!

We have a tradition of bringing jammies, after the big lunch, we get into those and play games and do puzzles. While SIL sleeps through the first football game.

Just booked a dinner reservation for tomorrow night at Goofy's Kitchen for me and DD! I know the food won't be all that, but hopefully the character interaction is good.

This sounds like so much fun. Enjoy!

Yep, pecan pie is really big down here. The pecan tree is the State Tree of Texas. My folks have several large producing trees on their property.
Good stuff...!

I'm moving in with you. Pecan pie is my all time favorite kind of pie. I love pecans. I buy several bags each year. They are great to snack on too!

With all the cooking that goes on in your house, your kiddos probably feel like they have their very own restaurant!

I would be so glad to buy a place at your restaurant!

I love stuffing too! Goes well with my beloved cranberry sauce.

Speaking of...tried something called cranberry crunch pie today. Yummy!

I like the sides better than the turkey. Mashed potatoes, noodles, stuffing, sweet potatoes, I'm in! (I think I'm hungry!)

I love cranberry's too. Plain or with orange slices. It's all good!

 

[betty rose]

Oh no! Be safe and be sure not to go if it's really bad.

We do have some hills between our house and the kids. Our car may not make it. We can always turn around if it gets too tough. Thanks.

I'm so sorry...I hope it gets better soon. Did they give you any indication how long it SHOULD take to get better?

Not really... anywhere between one day and infinity keeps them from having to be overly accurate.

 

[betty rose]

Gotta cook! Ketchup later

You are the hardest worker on here, I hope you can find some time to rest. Maybe the family should make your meals on Friday.

People shouldn't yell at people. I'm with you on that...

Your professors give you study guides and review material before tests? Can't adult students do this for themselves? I wouldn't do that for my students.

He normally wouldn't for a regular test but considering that he's barely followed the syllabus, I don't know how else we would know what's actually on the test. What he gave us today should have been part of the syllabus. I don't think he's even written the test yet. What I really want is extra practice problems with answers to know if I'm doing them correctly (our textbook does not have answers for practice problems. I know in middle and high school, my math textbook usually had problems with selected answers, and for accounting, we had an online program that we could use and it would tell us if we were correct or not). Not an unreasonable request, but even if he said no, I don't see a reason to yell at a student, regardless of whether or not they are an adult.

As far as study guides in college go, some professors give them and some don't. It really depends on the professor. Unless you're a math or science major, at the very least, professors do a review day. And I go to two schools, my main one is a small private school and the other is a large state school (I go there because my school does not offer upper level Spanish). At the other school, my first semester, the professor didn't give study guide, but this semester, this professor gives a study guide. He gives you a list of vocabulary and expects you to find what's on the list yourself. Either way, professors at least verbally tell you what will be on the test. And it depends on the professor, not the school.

Seeing you don't have any classes tomorrow how about coming up to my house to help cook?

When I cook, there's meat involved, so maybe you don't want that?

Sympathy like. He just sounds like a bully to me. Give him the respect he deserves.......none.

Okay, by me. I eat a little meat at least once a day! Hubby is bringing home a turkey sandwich for tonight with a spring green salad, and balsamic dressing. I'm still hungry and obsessing over food!

That sounds so cozy!

I'm with you. It's all about the sides for me. Never had noodles on the side before. How are they served?

No, you are right. A professor shouldn't be yelling at a student.

I guess times have changed since I went through university. I'm gettin' old.
