The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

Yes it has but that is the beauty of trucks, they move easily in and out of events. I've seen them roll in for NYE into the WS area along with port a potties into Epcot and roll 'em out. Me if I were the Empress of the Osborne Lights planning I'd be rolling Herb out for 2 months. Not like the studio's are packed with attractions that another spot nearby couldn't be used.

Maybe this is a permanent structure just designed to look like a truck?

economics, its all economics.

Reminds me how a lot of animation companies are pretty much "sub contracting" animators from Canada to do the "bulk" animation jobs to reduce costs.

Yes and most of them are filmed in Canada too. They are for American television though I assume as they are Hallmark.

Yet another new fact I learned from Chit Chat! That's a new one to me--coat checking until you return. That's very interesting. I imagine the airports in the colder climate areas would offer that, versus the warmer climate airports, such as Orlando.

Certainly better than when I leave it in my car and have to run from the airport to the car and put on that freezing cold coat! I didn't know about this either.

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

Same in our family. They are one of my favourite treats but hubby doesn't like them at all...although he does make them for us sometimes.

Good day everyone. The start of a new week. Glad to be back on line. Hubby got up the Christmas tree on Sunday. I'm starting my decorating for the season. Yea! I hope everyone had a great week-end.

Deepest condolences again.
Try to remember the happy times with her.
Prayers.

Thank you,

I love pumpkin pie, but I don't like the crust so I just buy the premade crusts. Interesting that your recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk, most recipes call for evaporated milk. I was jonesing for some pumpkin pie yesterday and since hubby doesn't like it I won't make it for Thanksgiving (since it is just us and I would have to eat it on my own). So anyway, I made a pumpkin dump cake, hubby likes that for some reason, and we had company over so I know they would like it.

The dump cake is even easier than pumpkin pie...if anyone wants the recipe....
Mix together one can pumpkin, 1 can evaporated milk, 3 tsps. cinnamon, and 3 eggs. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan.
Sprinkle on top a box of yellow cake mix, pour 3/4 cup melted butter on top of that, and sprinkle with chopped pecans/walnuts.
Bake for 50 minutes at 350. Top with whipped cream (I use canned) when serving. I always warm it up a little too when I serve it.
It is so good, it is easier and tastier than pie.

So....basically pumpkin pie filling without the crust, but then with the cake mix and butter on the top? Makes me wish we had cake mix here.

I'll bring the mints!

I'll bring my appetite!

I've never made it with condensed milk either. Seems very sweet. I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie. Never had it growing up. Hubby likes it though so I do make it. My favourite is sugar pie...which might be a regional thing here. (Never had that growing up where I'm from either.)

I've never heard of sugar pie....what's it like?

Pictures cannot describe how large this art and craft show was at a sports stadium my DD and I went to this weekend. Two levels. Some of the Art-Crafts, high end section were amazing, out of my price point but so talented.

Very cool. It's kind of like the one I went to on Halloween. HUGE.

I'm so jealous i can't start decorating until Friday and that's only if I get up. the boys are going to grandma's for the weekend. I may need to sleep in a bit.

I'd say you're definitely going to need to sleep in!! But won't the decorating be worth waiting for?

 

[Songbird76]

Happy Monday. I'm already behind schedule as I ran out to get the next to last gift yesterday (on sale cheaper than black Friday) and I have to run out to grab a counter top convection oven as my old one died yesterday. Hey it's better than the year my oven died on an actual holiday with a roast in the oven. So now I'm behind schedule and have to run an errand at least Target has all kitchen stuff 20% off today. I'm more upset it went this week than the fact it's now gone as we more than got our money's worth out of it. poor thing got used for everything. Have a magical day!

Sympathy like. At least it went before the actual day this time....so sorry though! Did you find a good replacement?

 

[betty rose]

Ha! Yes.

That's my kind of card.

 

[betty rose]

Ok. I am off to bed but I leave you with this. I have been laughing at it for 3 hours!

My sister's first dog, a cocker spaniel, loved to eat cigarette butts.

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

@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".
