Christmas Countdown - 2014

[snowflake22]

Productive morning here. Ran all of my errands, got meatball stew cooking in the Crockpot, and even made a double batch of chocolate chip cookies. Now to figure out whats for lunch.

Yum! Sounds delicious. Save me some!!

LOL, you are the only one to notice I mentioned frost.
We had a nice time going through thrift stores and to her favorite Dutch import store.

I noticed it too. We had some earlier in the week. Too soon!

Today is "supposed" to be my oldest brother Mike's birthday - he would have been 61 ~ instead it's his 3rd heavenly birthday & we miss him every day!







This is him with me & my niece Jill ~ He was my Godfather, as well as Jill's & I am Jill's Godmother too!







I always love this picture of Mike & my 2nd oldest brother Bill is behind him on the golf course!



Happy Birthday big brother!



And I can't forget to mention it's also my FIL's birthday today too!!! Happy Birthday Don! :smile:

Happy Birthday to Mike in heaven [emoji172]

(((Hugs))) to you

Wonderful photos, friend. Thank you for sharing them with us! He has such a great smile!

Happy Birthday to Don, too!

Sounds delicious! This made me think of this recipe from my friend:



Hawaiian Kielbasa Sandwich



3# smoked kielbasa or smoked sausage (pre-cooked sausage)

2 bottles (12 oz ea) chili sauce

1 can (20 oz) pineapple tidbits, undrained - I used crushed pineapple instead

1/4 c packed brown sugar



12 hoagie buns



Combine and cook in slow cooker 3-4 hrs or heated through.





Also this one I have made many times:



Hawaiian Chicken



3 lb. frying chicken, cut up

20 oz. Can pineapple chunks

¼ c. margarine

¼ c. brown sugar

2 Tbsp. cornstarch

1 tsp. salt

¼ C. vinegar

½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce

2 Tbsp. Chili sauce

1/3 C. catsup



Brown chicken pieces in margarine. Layer them in a 9 x 12” baking dish. Pour juice from pineapple into a saucepan. Add margarine, brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, chili sauce, & catsup. Cook until thick. Add pineapple chunks. Remove from heat & pour over browned chicken Bake at 350º for 1 to 1 ¼ hours or until tender.





Now I'm hungry for pineapple/bbq, choc chip cookies, & meatball stew! :lol:

You guys are making me hungry!
And I just got done eating! [emoji4]

Sounds like Mike was a great guy, I'm sure you miss him very much. Happy Birthday to him, and you father-in law, Don, too!

Is it too late to trade you a ham sandwich for a few of those freshly baked cookies??

You couldn't work in advertising! The F-bomb and other unsavory words get dropped constantly!

Happy Thursday, ya'll, what's left of it!

(Almost forgot, been so busy today---popping in for a page or two of posts between jobs.)
