Well....bad luck continues. My grandma died this morning and i will be flying home tomorrow morning, just as 10 of our friends are flying in for our new year's eve celebration. We are having a masquerade party and going to see our favorite band at the pepsi center. Have a suite for 20 of our buds and now I will miss it. I know it sounds bad but I am really bummed. My grandma was 97 and always joked that God forgot about her. So I know she is happier now.
BF is making his awesome split pea soup - that will make me feel better
I'm sooooo sorry about your grandma. It's always sad to lose someone of the family but it's more sad when it happens before some kinda holidays. Sending <<<<<<hugs>>>>>>>>>

O that is hard. It's very sad to lose your loved ones but at age 97 I think I would be ready to depart too... and I'd probably want you to stay home and have your party.
My sympathy to you and your family for your sad loss....
HighlandsGal, please accept my sympathy on the loss of your grandmother; I hope that she'll be a part of you for a long time to come, and that you'll find her voice in the back of your mind when you need to. Hugs to you, and I hope your travels are easy.
Spouse wound up taking the boy back to La Crosse while I went grocery shopping, so I get to make supper tonight for a change. It'll be a really simple, basic meal: a couple of bone-in chicken breasts coated with bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and garlic powder and baked, with a single big baking potato turned into a twice-baked potato that we can split. A whole one is too much for us old farts to eat, but half is just about right. I'll probably warm up the leftover sweet and sour red cabbage from Christmas day dinner for a veg.
HG: I am so sorry for the passing of your grandma. Even though she had a long life it is still hard when you lose someone so dear. I had 2 cousins that celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary, she was 90 and he 95. The following year she passed away and then he did. Be safe flying home. There is always next year.
Well Southdowns recipe for the rib roast was just perfect, thank you again.
We had riced mashed potatoes, b. sprouts, sauteed onions and mushrooms in burgundy wine/butter sauce & buttermilk biscuits. I had made homemade turkey soup and we forgot to eat it. lol To quote skbs, we are stuffed.
I hope everyone has a great night.
