Wonderful photo's. We had a display in Kansas City museum of art, and it included the Mona Lisa. I, too was so surprised at the small size.

I have mentioned this here before, but, the size of the Mona Lisa I kinda' knew from early art classes. Although, I thought it might be a little larger.
The one that caught me by surprise was The Last Supper. For some reason, I always thought it was about 2'x4' on canvas, instead of the about 15'x30' wall mural that it really is.

What got my attention was the road had no center stripe...

I guess it's a one way road out and you can't come back.

Any other theatre nerd watching The Wiz tonight?View attachment 121967

I don't like Wizard of Oz, so that would be "no" for me.

Ibuprofen and Biofreeze rub.

I haven't tried the Biofreeze. Is it real menthol-ie smelling?

You have to upload the animated images ( in .gif or webm format) to a separate website, I use imgur.com.

This forum only allows static jpg and png images.

I've been able to insert GIFs directly into my posts.

Good to see you. Was just thinking we hadn't seen you in a while. Hope all went well with band. Prepare those kids, and then send some of them over our way for college.

Nothing has changed over here. Besides perhaps more cat pictures.

Woohoo! Go cats!

Florida can get cold, I still remember when It hit 1Celsius in February when I went.. x_x
coldest ever!

Yeah, but that is the rare thing, kinda like big snow storms in the south. Seems it likes to be cold for the January marathon weekend at WDW. Happened a few years in a row. It doesn't last thankfully.

You don't like the story of of someone transported from a mundane town to a magical world where anything can happen?

Just kidding.

The flying monkeys scare the bejeezus out of me.

Some people at my friend's office thought feeding the geese daily would be fun. Now they chase people to their cars expecting food.

Yep, when we first moved into our home, there was a small 35 acre ranch the we abutted in our dead end (now a developed neighborhood).
They had horses, cattle, and goats.
When our kiddos were little, we used to let them feed the goats. Wilted vegetables, etc.. At first, the goats were timid and wouldn't even approach the fence. You can probably guess the progression beyond that over time, to the point of getting aggressive with each other and head-butting the fence. We quit feeding the goats.
The kiddos did learn a valuable life lesson though.

Wizard of Oz isn't one of my favorites either. Scared the heck out of me when I was little too.

They are not allowed to be called flying monkeys in "The Wiz". They are called "Flying Warriors" True story. And errr, that's about all I'm gonna say about that, except that tonight's broadcast was pretty wonderful.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Normally I love Queen Latifah in pretty much everything, but have to put my foot down on this one.

Same story with a squirrel when I was little. I fed him peanuts. Started out nice and all and ended badly when one time he followed me when I was done feeding him onto the back porch and into the house without me noticing. That was the end of me feeding the squirrel.

Give it a try on demand. It's a lot of fun. And I hated the last two attempts - (Peter Pan, Sound of Music) - they finally figured it out. Give it ten minutes and if you hate it, just press stop. A glass of wine helps. ;

What is called Mexican Hot Chocolate up here is actually a good drink

• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 1/2 cup whole milk
• 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 vanilla bean, split
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1/4 teaspoon chile powder

I've seen the chile sub'd for cayenne pepper too.

Me, I am a bigger fan for Ghirardelli's Hot Drinking Chocolate. (also available online)

I have NEVER heard of spicy hot chocolate in my whole life.. go figure..

interestingly. almost all the recipes I found on google, are from spain websites.
Makes me wonder if this concoction was just mixing spanish chocolate with salsa picante (theres some that use tabasco sauce, and that thing isnt exactly Mexican)
