Good luck and well wishes for her today.

Thank you! She's using a walker so hopefully they can wean her off that too. Little bits at a time.

Very nice decorations. I've never made a gingerbread house but I have always wanted to. Someday.

Thank you, it was fun.

I made french onion soup tonight too, but I don't get to eat it. Our town is having a big Spirit of Christmas festival this weekend and my church is having a bake sale & soup meal for it. So I was asked to make a soup, actually it was more of a demand to make french onion soup. Apparently I make good french onion and the church ladies love it.

I love french onion soup. I have never made it though. I need to look up a recipe.

That's why I married a pastor, he's my ticket into heaven!



I'm sure we will be taking some walking in the cold temperatures but we really haven't had that cold of temperatures yet, this is the coldest it has been so far. So I'm still a little bit of a wimp.

It's 8 below zero right now. I'm not going out of the house. I can't take these kind of temps.

Yep, still so far behind I'm, yet again, answering post I already have from way back when...!!!

That's okay, I find I'm doing the same. And I have no excuse.

 

[betty rose]

Meh

Sorry about the Meh.

 

[Santa Raccoon 77]

[betty rose]

[betty rose]

Best wishes for feeling better. Today is cast day. Just in time for the snow to roll in.

I hate snow! And bitter cold! Good luck today.

Alton Brown/Good Eats Food Network site had a good one I'd give you mine but it starts with 10 pounds of onions

Sympathy like. I'd be hiding under several covers in Disney fleece jammies loading up my sling shot

 

[betty rose]

Ha, ha no thanks, I would be crying my eyes out cutting that many onions!

I'm in heavy jammies with a jacket over. I'm making me some hot cocoa with marshmallows.

It's easy, just use the Goofyernmost method. (not really unsimilar to the catch up with posts method of just marking them as read) First you go to the store and buy a dry package of French Onion Soup Mix. Next you take one large onion, cut off the ends, slice it in half (across the grain) (and then several times with the grain depending on how wide you want your onion strips) pull it apart and saute slowly until the onions have caramelized. In the mean time you follow the recipe on the box of Soup Mix and get it cooking. Once the soup has reached a simmer, put in the caramelized onions and let it simmer for 15 or so minutes. Then ladle into individual soup crocks, place, preferably slightly dry, bread on and cover that with mozzarella or the equivalent favorite meltable cheese (provolone or whatever), put under the broiler for a couple of minutes or until the cheese starts to bubble, and there it is. Usually less then a half hour only a few steps, no measuring just nicely seasoned French Onion Soup. Not, of course, your gourmet labeled type, but, quite good and settles the craving for a bit.

It's 8 below zero right now. I'm not going out of the house. I can't take these kind of temps.

I can't take even talking about those kind of temps.!

Just had a fantastic interview with a staffing company today. I was with the manager for an hour. Apparently, they liked my resume so much that the manager told her staff member to skip the prescreening step; she wanted to talk with me. We talked about everything, from my work history to my time at college, even Disney (I had Mickey earrings on). I'm 99% sure I'll get a call for a second interview. It was fantastic, and I'm really hoping I get this job. It's to work for the company, not for them to place me. They're looking to bring on two more recruiters. It's base salary is right around what I was looking to make, plus I can make comissions. So we shall see, but I'm very excited
