I'm still gettin' lost in the TR forum.....

Here! Take these bread crumbs to drop along your way so you can find your way back.

Most definitely. These aren't just "urban legends".

I most definitely used the wrong phrase. My apologies.

I've watched Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus a dozen times the past two weeks.

Don't you just love the Halloween movies! We are watching The Shining tonight and Rocky Horror tomorrow.

The Mickey Check meals are pretty new, though, right?

I think they've been around for a few years, no? But they tend to be the same type of food from restaurant to restaurant. A lot of plain chicken.

I brought a party pizza into work today (it's a RI thing) and people who are not from here was like where is the cheese and the toppings.

I don't understand. What is it?

We have party pizzas here but they are just big rectangular pizzas with all the normal toppings.

You are so so lucky! What I really want to know is what did you eat in Naples?

Thanks for all your photo's, finally I get to see some of what Europe has to offer. I'm vacationing through your pictures! These pictures are so nice. I enjoy traveling , with everyone, on this forum.

Armchair traveling is a favourite passtime of mine too. This is such a great place to do it!

I love seeing dogs drive a car!!! I laugh my head off!!

This reminded me of The Muppets. Has anyone been watching? The last episode I saw had them driving real cars to work and, for some reason, it just struck me as hilarious. And then two of them got in a fender bender.

That is beautiful. If that cat used online dating sites, this would be his profile picture. "Love mice, jingly balls, and long sits on the beach."

So I started watching The Office, (U.S. version, sorry Brits) and I have to say, it's one of the funniest shows I've seen in a while. Probably mostly because it's really offensive, and I find offensive stuff funny. Conventional humor seems bland to me, so I guess the shocking, disturbing or offensive stuff is what really grabs my attention. But, maybe I'm just crazy. That's always a possibility.

BBC! BBC! BBC! Seriously...check out the original. One of the best things you can ever do for yourself.

My younger ds is into it, I'm not sure how I feel about it for a 13 year old.

So, we're warchin' "Beat Bobby Flay", and Flay says, just before they pick which chef's gonna' go up against him, "It's gonna' come down to who's food tastes better."
Who'd a' thunk...?!!!

Hahaha...yes...it's like:

Close, they both had to cook pancetta ...!

Oh, Batali would be so pleased. I swear he uses pancetta in every dish!

And the same goes for dogs. Same procedures as you outlined. There are breeds that fling far more allergens than others. Mix breeds are always a risk. The best dog I've come across for people with allergies to dogs is the Chesapeake Retriever. Their coat is a bit wavy and has more natural oils and they tend not to throw dander or their undercoat. It is that undercoat with both cat and dogs and dander that often is the trigger.

Ok...I think I just fell in love. Awwwww!

I've never seen it.

Happy All Hallow's Eve Eve, y'all!

I've never seen it.

Today I bought 50 bags of cheetos, 50 bags of m & m mini cookies, 180 Twizzlers long sticks and 50 minion fruit roll ups. It is a long trick or treat span, double the time normally because it is a Saturday however it is to rain. I bought stuff I could donate or my DD would eat if trick or treat is a wash out.

I keep wondering about this...if trick or treating will start earlier because it's Saturday. Can't seem to find any info for my city. I'm guessing they are just letting us sort it out ourselves. But I don't know whether to take the kiddos out early or wait until the usual time.

Baby kale? Is there also a momma kale and poppa kale, too?

For sure...and every Thursday they go over to the Spinaches' house to play cards.

Great news pumpkin is a veggie and canned is a great way to get it. Except canning will kill off a few vitamins as will any form of cooking. If you make the pie sans crust and maple syrup instead of sugar it will be healthier More to the original question one slice of pumpkin pie should yield about a serving of veggie.

I like to eat my fruits and veggies baked in a crust. This is good news!
