By eye, taste and smell sorry. I never measure it out:oops: Sorry, 1 can coconut milk, 1 tsp vanilla and about 1/2 cup sugar and cook over med until bubbly turn to low until thick. This is aprox how much. Hope it helps. Lilly's dark chocolate sugar free baking chips go on the one with 1 can C milk, about 12 packs stevia, 1 tsp van. and I reserve about 1/4 cut to mix with the xantham which I don't measure sorry I think 1/4 tspish

Just found this recipe. http://thewanderlustkitchen.com/vegan-magic-cookie-bars/ What do you use for the crust? She used graham crackers.

Just wondering what you would call someone who works at the fish counter in your local market/shop. May be a regional thing.

Well, I guess that's the thing--maybe in certain places they use that term. In my supermarket, there's a guy behind the fish counter, but I always thought of him as "the guy behind the fish counter". (This must show my lack of proper upbringing . .. :hilarious: )

I know the term fish monger because I grew up near the ocean, but at most markets I've been to in the Midwest most of the fresh fish is served at the meat counter. So the person at that counter is serving steaks and pork chops and lobsters and fish and scallops and sausages and fresh bacon.

They don't serve fresh fish in my supermarket. Not that I care since I don't eat it. :joyfull:

Well, getting up and going to work. We have a Thank you lunch off site for our team. After that, I'm coming home, working from home for the rest of the day, and then my grandma and I are heading to the airport around 4 pm today to fly south to Charleston. We'll get there, get the rental car, and drive to my aunt's house to stay overnight. Then, tomorrow, we'll drive down to Hilton Head. I'll probably fall into bed tomorrow night.

That is how we felt. Closing on our house a couple days after having coming home and moving was ridiculous. If I was clairvoyant back in September I would have booked this trip after the closing and it certainly would have had warmer temps than we had that week. Still it was an awesome trip. POR is always our go to resort but the last last few trips at Wilderness has been nice, both for the cold and Hurricane Irma. Love your photo's.

I still plan on posting more from our trip and bounce back trip....I hope....
Thanks!! I know we should have waited a week. It was awfully chilly!

Oh yess! How did you miss it? It is the fiesta margarita-all 3 of the lime, strawberry and mango margaritas combined! It was so good! It is at the new margarita bar they just opened up in Mexico. Choza de Margarita. We loved their guacamole and tacos too!

This drives me nuts about my friends on a regular basis. Most of them are so indecisive about everything. I'm very much the type A personality of "Make a plan, tell me what it is, stick to it." I don't like indecision. I don't like not planning. I don't see how anyone can go through life like that.

That, and I will make this an age thing here, but so many people my age have no clue how to manage money, with the exception of those of us who went to college for business. It drives me crazy when I have to explain to my friends why no, they should not use their debit cards everywhere, and no, if you use PayPal credit and pay off that airline ticket in 6 months with no interest, it will not hurt your credit...but how can you fault them when we were never taught this stuff in school? That was part of the issue with my friend, trying to manage her money and get it together before the trip was an issue.
I had trouble explaining to my husband why I absolutely refused to use my credit card to withdraw money. Over here, credit cards are paired with your bank account, but you have a separate card for credit, and the money gets taken out at the end of the month. But grocery stores won't take credit cards, only debit cards. So one year, DD's birthday rolled around and we came up short in our bank account and I couldn't use my American credit card at the grocery store, so my husband's like "Just use your credit card and withdraw some money." I was like UM NO WAY in a very hot place!! Under no circumstances will I EVER do that. He totally didn't get it. I had to explain about cumulative interest rates, etc.

Just wait until you marry someone like that (opposites attract). My husband will say "this weekend I was thinking about doing something with (friend's name)" but then won't actually plan an activity with the friend until about twenty minutes before they decide to do it.
My favorite is when we make a plan and hubby nods and says "sounds good" but hasn't actually listened to a word and then just changes the plan because "he didn't know that's what I was planning".:rolleyes:

Any fish you get in the Midwest is highly suspect. That is the price you pay for not being anywhere near an ocean. I don't mind it, because I can't stand the stuff. To be further scandalous, most of the time when the fish goes in the case, it is still a little frozen.

That's so great!! Does he live near you?

No :( They live in Texas. When I was in the Army we were both stationed at Ft Bragg for a few years though, which was lovely. His wife is one of my best friends and I often call her my sister and him my brother in law on accident :hilarious::hilarious:

The worst is when he comes up with a plan in a passing conversation, so you make an actual plan around it, and then you tell him the plan and he's like "Wait, why are we doing this, again??" :banghead::banghead::banghead: because this was YOUR idea!!!
