Hmmm, just noticed something. Someone must have decided we were giving out too many rep points in the What's For Dinner thread, because my repping power in this thread is now set at one. Looks like I still have full rep-ability in other threads in the Food/Drink forum, but we must just be too nice to each other here. Interesting.
The TOS address the issue of rep points and it is a rule that posts are not to solicit rep points.....and going to other threads for expressed purpose of giving more rep points is also a violation.....we need to be careful not to get our beloved thread into "trouble".
The comraderie and knowledge and sharing that occurs here is of real value.....rep points are fun but really not an essential part of the thread.

Not sure but it could be other posters asking for helping a poster nearing a star to give out more reps. It is up to the admin. how the reps are given out and it is frowned upon when people give out reps just to get someone a star. I believe they would like to keep the reps for posts that you feel are deserving for reps. I could be wrong but I have seen it happen before!

I think you have said it well here elston...the reps are fun and a great way to express our thanks for wonderful posts but can be abused. So let's let our reps grow with our informative posts and not try to just get stars etc. I would like the admin. to see what a great group of people we have here and how we are willing to learn on this thread!
"Dont let the stars get in your eyes...
Don't let the moon break your heart."
It just seems to fit.....
For supper tonight..not at all sure....I ate left over chicken soup for breakfast so I am full and happpy......going out to church and then to visit one son for brunch....supper.....I am thinking BLT sandwiches and soup......Nomadicus may have planted the idea.

The Agenda - January 25 - February 1
This week's dinner items will range from an arm roast of beef, which I'll be doing in the crockpot today. I was able to purchase two for the price of one, so one will be in the freezer until it comes time to use it for something new. Sides for today's dish have yet to be determined. Also, I'm planning on meeting with my mother at The Cheesecake Factory later in the week, so guess what will be for dessert? And I've got the corn tortillas for the chicken tacos I couldn't quite get to this previous week, so I will plan on that, possibly early in the week. With Super Bowl Sunday just seven days away, I'll be putting together some Italian sausage sliced up in toothpicks. Maybe I'll bring out the mixed nuts. And, in between everything that's been mentioned, I might throw a surprise or two in.
Have a great week with your dinner table, and bon appetit!

I agree the comraderie and knowledge is very important.
Just the short time on this thread, I have gotten some great ideas. Not to mention meeting really great people
Tonight will be pork roast with roasted potatos, brussel sprouts and carrots with butter with a touch of basil. No dessert.
Oh we had the most delicious desert last night. anyone ever use chinese noodles and melt chocolate and nuts over them only to chill in the fridge.
YOu and use anything with the noodles actually. carmel, mashmellows etc.
Good morning everyone. This is just a quick check in. I'll have to catch up later. It's my hubby's birthday so we have to shower and then head out. Going to VA to do some looking around and shopping(Sam's Club)
Have a great Sunday. Talk to you later.
