Wowzers. We got about 16" of snow with a 4' high drift across the sidewalk. Took about an hour with the tractor to get the driveway cleared, but got to work successfully...

Major sympathy like!

I would love to come to the east, just for the good food. NY sounds like it has amazing restaurants. Denver is the worst city for food. Kansas City has good BBQ. How is your day going @figmentfan 423?

It's ok. The roads are now clear and my dh finally made it to work. I don't think I'm going to get much done today except cooking

@betty rose have you been on your bike lately. You sounded like you were having fun on it.

I admit, I haven't been on lately. Cooking, shopping and wrapping got in the way. Or, maybe I should say I let those things get in the way. With the New Year, comes a new commitment to ride every other day, for 30 minutes.

1600 flights cancelled at Chicago airports. Some not being rebooked until New Years Eve.

One of my oldest and dearest friends had a guardian angel a few hours ago. He was T-Boned by a Snow Plow.
Car is Totalled. He walked away.

Amen

I suppose he can say proudly he survived being "plowed"

Angry one

Yeah, that's kind of how I feel, too, but I can't MAKE them go to Disney with us. My brother has a history of being TERRIBLE with money and they've just now kind of gotten back on their feet financially. I can't really blame my brother-in-law for being cautious. And we'll have fun with them in South Dakota, too....I just was picturing having a ball in Disney with my niece, who will be 3 then. But there's a lot of fun stuff to do in South Dakota with the kids and just getting to spend time with the family will be amazing.

solution.. buy prepaid debit cards, use 1 per day.. force him to leave the others at the hotel so he doesnt overspend.

Sending pixie dust for safe and easy traveling and the best vacation ever! xoxo

We've never driven to WDW either. It's an exact 2 hour non-stop flight for us. Growing up we drove to Texas multiple times.

Yep, when I was a kiddo, I very much enjoyed our road trips from No Cal to Texas and back every summer. But, those were 3-week-long vacations. So, when we're only taking a week-long vacation to the World, and it's a 22 hour drive from where we live...

I'm getting my bucket list together. So far I have pick a pearl, get a glass slipper, River of Light, night safari and eat at T-Rex, Sanna, Whispering canyon and Morrimoto's (not sure if we want to do an ADR or qs)

Of those on your list, we've been to WCC an T-Rex twice, and really enjoyed both places both times.
I recommend the Triassic Trio to any meat/seafood lovers in your family. Steak, shrimp skewers over rice, and creamy/cheesy bay scallops.
It wasn't on the menu last time we were there (nor now, I just checked), but, when I asked about it they made it for me anyway...!

 

[donaldtoo]

That's the one thing we're not doing. The cost for 4 adult tickets for one day We are going to Kennedy!

Have been to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, which is very cool , but, never been to Kennedy. Need to fix that, someday.

Maybe it's a good thing the scallop item isn't on the menu my is allergic.

You must fix that KSC is amazing. We go every trip. One time we went it was during Star Trek summer (came home with a few tribbles, I could have sworn I only bought one). and last time we got into the soft opening for Atlantis. We could easily spend a few days there. It's about an hour's drive from Disney and well worth it.

OK gang, gotta' skeeeeeeedaddle...
Have a Magical darn day...!
Laterrrrrrr...!!!

We have landed in la and are currently on the road to our hotel. Since we were two hours delayed we told the driver to scrap the plan of stopping at and in-out burger. That makes me sad but we will just feast at trader sams instead!

A drink and food always surpasses an in-out burger! Have a great meal!

What about ketchup based BBQ sauces...?

I suspect that it's fine. I believe my mom made a bbq sauce for pork ribs or something and I think that was ketchup based.

I got my recipe off the show called The Kitchen, Sunny Anderson presented it. It's good, but I add hot sauce or chili powder, cumin or poblano peppers in mine.
