Oh, I thought you had 2 showings - one early in the afternoon, one later. My mistake.

Last year I was wearing shorts for Thanksgiving and for Christmas lunch, DH and I packed a picnic and went to the beach!! Guess I better go shopping for some warmer clothes....!!

I know that from Key West it took us about 24 hours of driving time to get here, so depending on how far up the coast you are, you might be here by dinner time TOMORROW night!!! LOL
We're in the Ft. Myers area, so it would be a bit. Maybe lunch tomorrow!

Just want you Minnesotans to know that as we were loading the groceries in the car just now, it started snowing... thanks everso for sharing, guys! Really, you shouldn't have, you're all just way too generous. I'm glad I got the bulbs in when I did; now, if only the bunnies and the squirrels don't dig 'em up to munch on, we'll have a nice colorful front garden bed in about April.

Supper tonight will be on State Street, as we've got tickets to see Avenue Q at 7:00 tonight. Spouse is jonesing for sushi, so I suspect we'll wind up at Takara for his fix. I don't mind a bit, of course, as I like it just as much as he does.

Wishing you all a wonderful Sunday afternoon, snow notwithstanding, and good luck to you, Lacey, with that 2nd showing - hope it generates a good offer!

There is barely room to turn around and let's not even talk about the lack of countertop to work on!!

However the mood hit and I jumped in the kitchen and cooked up some yummy 'southern' fried chicken - yes, I fried it because it's the only way DH will eat it!! And some homemade potato salad, broccoli slaw and honey cornbread!! And of course, I had to top it off with some homemade chocolate chip cookies!!! Definitely not a meal for watching the waistline - but I figure that when it's cold out, we need some good ole comfort food!!!

It's good to be back and I look forward to my favorite part of this group - learning new recipes and how to do them!!!
First thing I want to do is welcome you back! You have been missed. You know you don't have to be preparing the meal you can help those of us who need your wise guidance--like me! It is so nice to see your smiling face here! Welcome home!!

Now for the snow bunnies...guess we are very lucky here in NC as it's in the 70's and not a cloud in the sky! I just had to change into a short sleeved blouse! I'm sure our turn will come. The night temps are suppose to drop into the low 30's tonight. Brrrr.

Boy, that fudge sure sounds good right now---wonder how it would last in the mail? Ha! Maybe I'll do some fudge this year. It's been awhile. Cranberry sounds really interesting. I have made cherry fudge and that was great! Guess it's getting to be that time of the year when those are the kinds of things we will be cooking hopefully. It will make for some good recipe sharing!

I'm sending some warm weather to all of you in the snow...should be there in a day or two!

MWBW-what more can I say that Molochai didn't!!! It's just that "Minnesota Nice" thingy!!!

It is bitter and so windy-just raw.

People were here 1/2 hr-Mr L is thinking positive-me I always look at the glass as half empty-speaking of which I need a drink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh very slight cabbage smell-but comforting.
