Asian sauce, I could toss noodles in that with green onions, and a forbidden nut, peanut! Add some veggies, and I would be so good to go. Thank you so much for sharing. I've already put it in my homemade cookbook! I love when people share their recipes!

I like recipes too.

Thank you all the pics are amazing, BTW my ds loved them also.

DD biggest dream is to go to Paris, I will be sure to tell her about your amazing photos. I'm sorry "our" trip came to an end, thank's for sharing. I loved every minute of it!

I know what you're saying. Mine is ending after almost 15 years, despite all our best efforts. Sometimes the differences can't be worked through and ending the relationship is the only solution.

I will keep you in my thought's DS went through that, it was for the best , but very difficult. I hope all things go well for you!

again moxo.. are we soul twins or something?

I hate melon, but love watermelon

Add me to the list, I love watermelon.

I like to put just a dab of liquid smoke in marinades and chilis.

Thanks for the info, I've used to much in the past and couldn't taste the meat!

I'm out, storms rolling in......

Add me to the list, I love watermelon.

I used to, but, to me now, it all tastes like plastic. I don't know if it's my taste buds deteriorating or if the chemicals and junk they use (plus that hot house factor) have taken the sweetness away. Whatever, the case may be, I do not consume very much of it anymore. And I'm right here in the middle of watermelon country.

Skinny Oreo. So now we have original, double stuffed and thin.

"Oreos are getting a skinny new look, and its maker says the new cookie is a "sophisticated" snack for grown-ups that isn't meant to be twisted or dunked." "Mondelez International Inc. says it will add "Oreo Thins," which have a similar cookie-to-filling ratio as regular Oreos, except that they're slimmer, to its permanent lineup in the…" AP.



Four of the cookies contain 140 calories, 160 calories for three original Oreos. Im thinking I'd rather have 2 originals.

This was the most ridiculous new item they introduced. I mean ONLY 20 calories less than the original??!! Why even bother??!!

Made me spit my coffee! Ha! Bet the little girl was not amused. Wonder how much the mom paid for that cake.

What she wanted vs what she got.....looks like Elsa at 85 years old.

Ha ha ha! This is too funny!! Yah, the face on the cake had that leather-looking, too many years in the Florida sun "look" about her!!

 

[MinnieM123]

Me too, I like the icing best!

Hey, Oreos with Double Stuff all the way!

 

[MinnieM123]

Yea! The detox is working! I fit into all my "skinny clothes"

That's fast. Are you saying that a few days of that (awful tasting) detox made you lose quite a few pounds? Either that, or maybe you only had just a few pounds to drop?

Before I go back and catch up some, my daughter wanted me to share some pictures she took at the garden center our friend owns.

Lovely pictures she shared! Please, next time, ask her if she'd enjoy taking a bunch of her pals here with her!

Another fun day in our little rainforest

View attachment 99991

Yeah, we had rain-wrapped tornados up here yesterday evening. Luckily no major damage and no one was hurt...

 

[MinnieM123]

Oh my goodness that exists? I need that in my life.

Don't forget a glass of milk to go with your cookies, too!

Hi guys. We got in at about 2 pm yesterday. I had been up for almost 24 hours as I did not sleep at all on either flight, so when I got home, I took care of some things and then went to bed, at which point I had been up for 24 hours. I've only been up for a few hours since (Between 6-8:30 pm and 11:30 pm-1 am). Rather exhausted. I'll post pic and/or a trip report soon!

Welcome home!

 

[catmom46]

great to see you had an upgrade!

Hows the hotel so far?

It's good. Nothing spectacular, at least IMO. We have a 2-bedroom, so it's a lot of space, including a dining room that seats 6 people very comfortably. Full kitchen, 2 bathrooms, balcony, and about a mile away from Typhoon Lagoon, which is probably where we'll go tomorrow as long as the thunderstorms stay away!

A few pics of the room:

Our lunch on the Rue Cler (a street that Rick Steve's recommends in his guides as having good food and a variety of shopping)
Started with some yummy bread

Hubby was excited to have Coke Zero everywhere we went in France, since that rarely happens here in the states.

Sympathy like. May there be sunshine, blue skies and happiness for you now and in the future. Sometimes change is the best thing for all involved.

That big black tower looks lonely out there

Ha! Only you would think of something funny like that to say about the Eiffel Tower!!
