The desserts everyone is posting are killing me! They look SO good. I think I may try to make those little trees @donaldtoo shared... hmmm.

Oh my, I meant no harm. I sowwy...
They sure are cute, aren't they? And, just in case, here's a little "behind the scenes" on how that magic was created...

 

[donaldtoo]

I'm melting,so in love with these little guys right now.

Hahaaa...!
Basically the same thing with some modifications, but, these guys are cool too...!

After 6+ years, they have switched up the menu, big time.
No more Steak a la Russell. No more menu options that included salad, coffee and dessert. And horror of horrors, no more stuffed mushrooms.

The new menu:


We started with the sausage bread.

And close up:

Regular bread service:

Hubby ordered the Caesar salad.

Entrees. I ordered the pork chop. I've had it before. It was just as good as I remembered, but yowza, it was a huge hunk of meat. I left more than half of it.

Mike had the 24 oz. prime rib.

Except for that piece of fat on the end, he ate it all!
And then, he ate half of this:


Neither of us had room for dessert.
We are now back in the room, drinking coffee, and lamenting that we didn't get the chocolate strawberries "to go".
I have at least a dozen more decoration pics to post, but I have to check in on my Tribez.

Salivating over a "real" brekkie . . .

Yep. The only thing I'd change is that catsup/ketchup into some picante/salsa...!

Saw St. Vincent this afternoon.
The tears absolutely coursed down my cheeks. Plus, I laughed like crazy.
Add in 2 tubs of popcorn , and a 90% Coke Zero/10% Cherry Coke mixed soda, my Honey, and you have the formula for a perfect afternoon.

Bill Murray is a pretty amazing actor, and MM stepped out of her Bridesmaids/Tammy schtick and was absolutely lovely. The kid playing Oliver was heart-breakingly sweet.

Highly recommended!

Yep, Bill Murray really impressed me as something beyond just a "funny guy" when I saw him in "The Razor's Edge" back in '84. Pretty much like Robin Williams in "The World According to Garp".
Sounds like we need to see this one. Thanks for the recommendation...!

If you see it, let me know what you think. I always like to hear other people's take on something I've seen.
Mike and I have very different taste in movies/t.v., and it's always nice when we both thoroughly enjoy the same film. Hasn't happened since RED and the first Chris Pine/Star Trek reboot.
We both were meh on IJ and the Crystal Skull though.

I was curious about Bill Murray, so I just Googled him.
Two surprising things:
- he's 6' 2"
- he's NOT Canadian

So I query Hubby.
Me: How tall is Bill Murray?
H: 6' 2"
Me: Where was he born?
H: I don't know. He's Canadian though.

We both erroneously that he was Canadian. Must be all that hanging around with Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramis, I guess.

BTW - I loved Bill Murray in Tootsie.

I've mentioned this interesting juxtaposition of stores before.

And for fun, we have Party City on the right.

@Cesar R M - note the decided lack of snow.

seems like a lot of fun for every human appendage .

O.k. Stop with the delicious desserts! I gain weight just by looking at these scrumptious cupcakes!

Woe is me. All I wanted to do was give all of you a little happiness by posting these dessert pics, but, instead, all I have caused is PAIN...!!!!!

I think my 20 month old is already "high" on all things Disney. She can now point out who is Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Donald, Daisy, Goofy...and for some reason Anna and Elsa (and when she sees these two, she yells out, "let it go! let it go!")

And it was not something that I even pushed her to learn. She just picked it up somehow. I have created a Disney monster!!

 

[Cesar R M]

I'm IN Buffalo. You know that, right?

We were expecting a lot more "leftover" snow - I mean there was 8' of it.
Plus, they've had a few light snowfalls since.
As it is, we actually have a little more at home.

ok, I mean "THE REAL BUFFALO" apocalyptic snow

Welcome to the club! Our three 20-something "kiddos" are all, still, Disney monsters...!

I managed to get migraine medication in me quick enough that it never developed, but after prescription pain killers, Excedrin migraine, and ibuprofen, I still cannot chew. I've had a lot of soup today.

So silly. I didn't have any cavities, but two of my fillings cracked. So they had to take them out completely and redo them. I'm dreading if I ever have to have my wisdom teeth out. I'm just super sensitive to dental procedures. My mom is the same way

I'm 52, and have never had my wisdom teeth out. They gave me some problems many years ago, but, I just kept puttin' it off. The dentist told me I would wake up one mornin' feelin' like somebody smashed me in the jaw with a baseball bat, and I'd be beggin' to have 'em out. Never happened.

Plus, I figure I need all the wisdom I can get...!

 

[Gabe1]

That first sentence could be a good one for Match.com

Ha!

Indeed they are!

I taped it. Anything interesting?

It made my wanna go see Newsies when they come to my city. Although that was going to happen anyways as Newsies is one of DW's favorite musicals.

And they had some decent guests and behind the scenes stuff. Most I was already aware of though.
