Christmas Countdown - 2013

It is tart, the best way to have it, imo, is in a strawberry rhubarb pie. The sweetness of the strawberries and the tartness of the rhubarb really accentuate each other very well.

Thanks for the advice! I may have to try it sometime.

My fav is Rhubarb dump cake: (also has strawberry & sugar)

Layer:
4 C. Rhubarb in 9 X 13 pan
Sprinkle with:
1 C. Sugar
1 – 3 oz. Strawberry or cherry jello
2 – 3 Tbsp. Minute tapioca
1 Jiffy Cake Mix (or ½ box yellow cake mix)
1/3 C. melted butter
½ C. water
Do Not Stir! Bake 45 minutes at 350º - Refrigerate

My wife makes something similar to that, it is quite tasty!!!

Good morning,

Just watching a little TV before leaving for my appt. Merlin is sitting next to me sleeping, he is our "old guy" and he always needs to be with someone. I have got to head out, my doctor will probably tell me the same thing he always tells me, I have to lose weight.

Hey, I eat all the cookies, but don't finish the milk. cheesy


I will be back later.

Enjoy your day!!!!

Good luck at your appt.!

Hello MMCers!

How are all of you? Missy and I are fine. I don't recall the last time I posted in this page (sorry!) but since then, I've been working for the Bureau of Unclaimed Property, Missy and I celebrated 1 year of being "mommy and furdaughter", I'm still active in the Transplant Games (headed for Houston next summer!), and in a long-distance relationship with a great guy! :yahoo:

Welcome back!!!! It is nice to see you on the boards.

That is so sweet of William!

Good merry tuesday (almost wrote monday) morning!

Went to costco and took some pictures! Nice Christmas isle they have there so far. Ill post them In the Christmas Blossoms thread! Just drinking my coffee and listening to Christmas music before I have to get ready for work. William is starting JK. I am very nervous, but thats to be expected as being a parent! Next month my friend is coming back down and we are having another Christmas movie marathon! We had one in July and it was awesome. He was the only one that came to it. Nobody else wanted to come because they believe Christmas should be in December only, how sad! I cant wait to buy more Christmas stuff for my desk at work. I wanted to buy some stuff at Costco but the Wife said I have too much already. Too much? TOO MUCH?! How can you have TOO MUCH Christmas stuff? Oh well. William and I had a blast looking at the Christmas stuff. We went to visit Dad on the weekend. It was fun. And speaking of Christmas, William found Dad's Christmas tree in the crawl space. He came up to me and brought me to it. He is going to be a Christmas lover! Heck, maybe when he is older we can get him on the boards! Well off I go, uploading the pictures so check them out! Have a Merry Day!

Good morning, friends!!

Just a quick hello, thinking of you all.

Harlowe seems to be doing better today, thank you all for the thoughts & prayers. Please keep them coming! <3

We had a nice visit with our friends yesterday, but Harlowe didn't know what to make of the big dog that came with them =] He is a very sweet golden retriever, but was a little too rambunctious & frightened her, I think a lot has to do with his size, too. Add not feeling the greatest on top of it, well... we were going to keep him outside, but it was 95 degrees & 100% humidity, so he needed to come in.

All in all, it was a nice day.

I am still catching up here, and will be throughout later this afternoon & evening. Sending lots of hugs to you, Christmas buddies. Take care!

Have a blessed day!!

I am glad to hear Harlowe is doing better, but I will keep her in my thoughts.

If this is the only time, I'm in trouble!!!

That is smart of Jacob to save his money like that and then spend it on something he has wanted! I bet it will make him really appreciate it more!

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Jacob finally gathered up all the money he saved through the year working at Bernie's and birthday and Christmas money, and finally had enough to order the guitar he's been wanting. So, last night we ordered it, and he can't wait. Shoot, I want to play it, too!

My city council meeting went well last night. We finally got some support from the local DOT cleaning out some deep ditches beside the road that enters Bellville from the east. And we've hired a local lawn service to clean the streets and edge all the curbs & sidewalks. finally, Bellville is getting presentable again!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

If we keep talking this much, we may hit 60,000.

We still have a few more QVC shows, welcoming in the season, Lovemas, New Year's Eve. I think 60k is attainable. cheesy

 

[Seawaters]

I was wondering where you were! Best wishes on the new relationship!

We have to send out good thoughts Harlowe's way! It's like she belongs to all of us, just like the other fur babies!

Thanks, Holiday. How was your birthday?

Have a safe trip!!! And have fun!!! Enjoy the Pumpkin Spice coffee!!! :grin:

 

[Seawaters]

I would LOVE to see that movie! Obviously, the books I read were the ones that were NOT politically correct!

I read one of the Bobbsey Twins books that my mom had in a little bookcase. I forget which one, but it was published in the 1940s, so it was "unsanitized." I hear that when they reissued the books later, they were altered to make them politically correct. Mom also had kept one of the Honey Bunch books and a couple of books based on comic strips. I read 'em all!

Have you ever seen the Five Little Peppers movies starring Edith Fellows? They are set in the modern day (the 1940s) and are probably not very true to the books. The little girl who plays Phronsie is a hoot. We were watching one of the movies where the Peppers go to a boarding school and are snubbed by the other students, especially one very snooty girl. This girl was giving Polly a hard time near a pond. We were yelling at the screen, "Push her in, Phronsie!" And she did!

 

[Seawaters]

Can you get Pumpkin Spice coffee where you live?

I'd love to try pumpkin spice coffee, I liek anything pumpkin. Have a good time at the meeting and dinner. Enjoy the trip!



I am relieved to hear she is doing better. It must have been really good to spend time with your friends.



Yeah I agree, you can't let the cream shop close without having some!



:razz:Me too!

 

[Seawaters]

I will come and watch the kids!

Anyone want to come help me do my cleaning? Made? CAH?

Maybe we will be there for dinner! Who wants to go?

Evening everyone! I am just making dinner so popping in quickly. I am making vegetarian sausages,butternut sqaush/Potatoe mash, yorkshire puddings and vegetables.

Looking forward to getting a little time out after the kids go to bed. My youngest has been so cranky of late and on top of him waking up at 3am every morning it's been a little tough.

The screen of my digital camera has been smashed, I think it might of been the baby playing with it. I don't know when it happened. Anyway DH ordered a new screen and it came today . He is hoping that he can replace it . I hope that is the only problem with it and it works! Fingers crossed. It was a christmas gift from DH a couple years ago.

I hope you all are having a good day. Back to making dinner and bath time for the children. DH won't be home from work till late.

I am back, had my lunch and sitting down for a few, I have to leave to get JP in less than an hour for his appt. Just like I said, I have to lose weight, this coming from my Dr, who is no skinny minnie himself. Everything checked out, just waiting for my cholesterol test to come back.

I hope you all are having a great day.

 

[Seawaters]

Meceka, I hope your day is going better!

Bradmac, how is that car coming along?

 

[Seawaters]

Off for Yreka. TTYL
