@Gabe1 For some reason I can't quote your Rice Krispie post (the codes for the pics are long encrypted) but we are making the ornaments. We pipe swirl icing and dot with m&ms. On top instead of a rolo we put a mini candy cane through a hole of a gummy lifesaver and stick in the top of the ornament as a "hook".

Great ideas. I love everyone's creativity on here!

technically, a lens this long wont do much in Disney.
Its geared towards distance.. which means Nature, birds..etc..
It would do amazing on trips to Alaska or other wild life zones.

But I think a 50mm or a small zoom would do fine for the trip..

Hubby is the photographer in the family, he was very impressed with all of your photo's!. Me too!

I agree, no anchovies! Fish are friends not food.... I will skip the mushrooms and olives too.

I prefer to skip those too but if they already on it, I'll eat it.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

not even shrimp or other seafood? or just no fish?

Fish on pizza? Nope.

Much as I like steamed crab, it does not belong in my pizza.

It's easiest to use vanilla icing to attach the candy corn.

You know, it's such a simple concept; I'm surprised it took me a while to figure it out. A vanilla based, light-colored icing makes sense, too, because you could also tint the color of the icing, if the lighted color stood out too much.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

not even shrimp or other seafood? or just no fish?

Not on my pizza. I don't eat that much seafood and I don't do fish unless it's fish sticks or canned tuna. When I was younger I was at a big lake that had a huge fish kill. Seeing massive amounts of fish carcass floating on the water and rotting on the beach turned me off of fish since and I was five when that happened.

I agree 100%! I love rice crispy treats, but my husband calls them styrofoam cookies. He thinks they are awful.

Well that's o.k. because there will be more Rice Krispie treats for you then! I've loved R. C. treats ever since I was a kid.

 

[MinnieM123]

Well...it finally happened. Snow! Here is a pic of my apple tree.

I think that's gorgeous!

never been a fan of the series or the strip, but wonder if I should just to go see it. I usually watch all animated movies.

It had a cute Ice Age short play before it.

Well, here we go again...
Today is our traditional office Thanksgiving potluck feast.
And, as tradition would have it, the partners are providing...yep, y'all guessed it...Rudy's BBQ...!!!!!!!!!!!

Warning: (Rhyming) Poem ahead --

WOO HOO!
It's Rudy's BBQ!!!

Poem over. (It's not about the length, it's the content.)

The best rice krispy treats are made with peanut butter. The marshmallow based ones I could take or leave.

Peanut butter? Really? I never heard of them being made with peanut butter before, only marshmallow. Wow . .. this is something worth exploring futher . . .

 

[MinnieM123]

Yep, or I suppose you could consider the cake mix as a reverse crust. You can make your own homemade cake mix, I looked up a recipe for it on Saturday because I didn't have cake mix, but it called for dried milk. I didn't have that either, so I just ran to the gas station and bought a cake mix.

Since when can you buy cake mix at a gas station?! Things must be different out your way.

 

[MinnieM123]

It actually got down to 27 here overnight.

Very nice, and I'm happy for you. Isn't it refreshing when the temps drop to a normal, cool level?

 

[MinnieM123]

I take blueberry preserves or cherry preserves, and put on a Ritz, top with cool whip non dairy...mini low calorie pie!

What a GREAT idea!!!!!!!!!!! Bets, you are the BEST!!! (Hey, I just realized that if you invert the last two letters of Bets, you get Best!!)

 

[MinnieM123]

Colder than us. We had 30.

Don't be too jealous--his temp was only a few degrees colder than yours. Thirty is still a lovely temperature.

Last summer I had a big old goose fly over and drop poop right on my head. This was the second time this has happened.

Guess I should "sympathy like" that one!
