Now that the boys are done (sans a couple of worksheets for other ds) they're having me watch Christmas shows and James has suggested making jello fudge for Christmas

I know my parents are planning to make Oreo pie for Christmas Dessert.

@ajrwdwgirl , I thought of you yesterday while I was watching Rick Steves' European Christmas special on PBS. Have you had a chance to see it yet this holiday season? Every Christmas this is a "must see" for me. Even though he made this special presentation back in 2015, it never gets old.

There is no such thing as breadsticks in Italian cuisine. There is bread. There are sticks. One has nothing to do with the other. Fetch!

Breadsticks from Olive Garden are about as Italian as Dominos “pizza.”

I never said bread sticks were authentic Italian.

Olive Garden is authentic to Italian as Subway is to 'eating fresh and healthy'.

I watched part of it, actually caught on a section about France. It is a good special.

I moved here almost 13 years ago and I don't remember a day when I woke up at 6am and it was raining fairly hard and went back to bed at 11:30pm and it was still raining. Never a point where it was torrential, but never got more then slightly heavy at times. On the plus side, we went from drought conditions to within about a half inch of normal rainfall. It has been my experience here that it is either all sunny, all cloudy or all cloudburst. Steady, not so much. The weather here is very bipolar. Or as Forrest might say, "it's like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get".

I would think that anywhere that has been raining for 18 hours straight that area would be flooded and or slightly under water in some parts.

Olive Garden is authentic to Italian as Subway is to 'eating fresh and healthy'.

And yet many flock to Olive Garden and Subway. Its good marketing. The times I go to Subway I have double of everything behind the plexiglass in my footlong. It is so huge and delish I use knife and fork to eat my big plate of food. Its just a few doors down from the gym so Subway is in a good location.

@MinnieM123 Are you enjoying this weather? We are almost to hurricane level here. I swear Nor'easters are worse than the 'tropical storms' during the summer.

Had tons of rain today and (for the most part) moderate winds in my area. A number of areas lost power. It's just a drag when a storm like this lasts all day long.
