I asked that... no, they wanted to know if I drove to Europe or if I flew there.

OK, so I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt one more time by googling to see if there was a town named Europe anywhere on the American continents that you could have driven to.
No dice.
Yep, sadly, they're officially morons.

Toothpicks would be nice Betts has dibs on my dh's recliner so there's only one left for napping

Are we going to be setting the tables using fine China or Chinette?

I have a friend who is expecting 56 people. 3 or the birds will be cooked outside in the fryer.

 

[Gabe1]

Well the fire is out in the Hancock building in DT Chicago on the 50th floor of 95.

did the fire really went from the bottom to the 50th floor? D:

You're not missing anything, pizza should be thin BTW I'm from the NY metro area so our friends from Chicagoland may have a different point of view.

We certainly do.

Nope the fire was only on the 50th floor in one unit. Unfortunately tonight is the Lights festival and parade on the Mag Mile.

Those cookies are really cute. I wonder how they got the candy corn to stick on? It looks a little like maybe they melted some chocolate and then stuck on the candy corn while the chocolate was still hot, and then it "set" the corn, maybe?

Icing should work.

No I haven't received any Christmas cards. Those are cards that I gave to my mom. She was Norwegian and somewhere in my late teen's I started giving here a Norwegian Christmas card every year. She saved them all and when she passed (and my sister and I went through stuff) I brought them home and decided to put them up. Those are just a few of them. I still give her a Norwegian card every year, I take it to the cemetery and leave it there for her.

I can't wait to try some of the enchiladas, only 2 hours until dinner.

What a beautiful reminder of your mom and a great tradition.

VERY hard to take photos of these, they were flying very fast.. particularly the eagle or falcon that was flying along with "Zopilotes"(last picture).

How majestic!

I enjoy the adult beverage as well. Do you have a favourite type of beer, dear Donald?

I don't really have a favorite type of beer/ale per se. I love lagers, pilsners, pales, porters, stouts, etc., etc., etc..I just love beer. To me, it's just the perfect, refreshing adult beverage...!
But, if I were forced to name my absolute favorite that I've ever had (so far ) it would be this...



Chimay Grand Reserve. Brewed by Trappist monks in Belgium.

How 'bout it?

I was doing an assignment for a management class which was a case problem about swimsuits and how their demand changes seasonally. Somehow, as I was doing the assignment, I ended up on landsend.com looking a swimsuits.
