I love all the different ingredients that can be added. I will try this one for sure! Thanks for sharing!

Seawaters, I see you asked about the recipe too and mentioning eggs. Just what my son adds to the recipe too (and more). =)

 

[Seawaters]

LOL, Made!!!

CAH- I see how it is!!! You get a little free time and decide to hop on here and get caught up instead of coming to do my dishes!!!!! I even had your paycheck waiting on you. I found a penny on the floor of the grocery store this morning and it had your name written all over it!!!

I love that stuff too. Going on "haunted" tours and stuff like that is a great way to learn history and see some great old sites. My wife and I love going through old cemeteries (I know, it sounds morbid). But, there's so much history in them. We've walked around them for hours before just seeing what the oldest headstone we could find was.

I love old buildings and that sort of thing, too. Salem would be awesome!

We do that, too!! They are so peaceful. We actually have one right down the highway from us. It's lovely.

Ok, Salem- another trip that we need to all go on together. Seawaters, you in? We may need the Lear!!

Good afternoon, friends!

Stopping in for a quick "hello" a I ride the train back to Ottawa. I know, I returned from vacation on Monday, but I had to take a quick train ride to Brockville this morning. The reason? I had an interview for a supply teacher with the Upper Canada District School Board. It seemed to go OK. Hopefully I get a position. I really need this to (finally) work out! At least Brockville is only about an hour train ride/drive from Ottawa...It's an easy travel.

No plans for tonight. I will probably go to the gym at my normal time and then see what is happening afterward. Kim is in Toronto for a bachelorette party, so I'm free to roam if I want to. We'll see what happens.

I hope everyone is having a great Friday... and ready for a monumentous milestone celebration on Sunday. 3/4 to the Christmas Season! It's a good thing that my two new blu rays (Elf - I wanted to upgrade from DVD) and Polar Express arrived in the mail yesterday. Perfect timing!

Have a great day, everyone!

Fingers crossed for you brent!

Enjoy your movies & have a great weekend!

Count me in on the Salem trip guys!!

You got it! It'll be so interesting & lots of fun!!

Good afternoon!
I hope everyone is well!
I am taking a quick coffee break and wanted to say hello
My husband finished installing all of the wood floors and will begin to sand them tonight. The next few days are going to be interesting. We have friends that are letting us have their camper to park in our driveway until the floors are finished. I guess we will try and make do with that for as long as we can. We'll see how it goes. I'm trying not to panic, lol. I'm not happy about the whole thing but I want it done now before the girls start school. I'm hoping the kids will be able to stay with their friends for a day or two to make it a little bit easier on them. I also have two cats and two dogs to deal with. We are going to pack up what we think we will need and I am trying to get all of my laundry finished. I was writing out a grocery list earlier but I realized I better put off my food shopping. I will take it day by day. Wish me luck!
I will pop in when I can!

Good luck!! Hope all goes well. :thumbsup:
Thinking of you guys!!

((Hugs))

Yes the Lake District is beautiful, it inspires. Before we had the kids I used to take many breaks up there with nothing but books for company. Nothing beats a row on the lake on a nice day.

We may be visiting a little seaside town called Whitby on Sunday. The town was a source of inspiration for Bram Stroker's book, Dracula.

Here is a photo.

That is so cool! I hope you get to go and have a wonderful time!!

GM everyone so running on half empty tank today due to the baby was restless and cranky all night due to being sick. She seems to have a small fever and running nose so tried to comfort her as much as could last night. Now on to work and catch up on a bunch of stuff so don't have to work this weekend. so hope everyone has a great day.

Aw, I hope she is better now!

 

[Meceka]

Good morning MMC!!! Happy Friday!!! I hope you all have something fun planned for the weekend! We are heading to the lake tonight. Tomorrow is Wine, Wings & Whoppers - Sunday is Steve Solo at the Shack! Hopefully it's as good of a weekend as we have it planned to be! :grin:

I hope it is a better weekend then you have planned - enjoy!

You would love it! I love travel and actaully it's a dream of mine to visit America. We should swap like in The Holiday! LOL!

I love that movie!

I have added grated pumpkin or squash to Mac and cheese in the past and its been scrumptious! It adds a nice buttery, creaminess to it.

Yummy! Great way to sneak vegetables to kids!

Love spooky or haunted places, books, movies, history-you name it!!

History and places, yes!


Brent, praying you get the job!

 

[Meceka]

Love it!

 

[Meceka]

Are you or did you make any peach jam???

No, I am going to make peach butter.

Good afternoon, MMC!

My plans for the day were cancelled so I am working on pears, peaches and tomatoes instead.
In the mail today I got the soundtrack to Nine - good stuff! Of course, I am singing and dancing - horribly, I might add - and not getting all my canning done. Oh, well! :dance:

Be MERRY!!!
