Oh gosh, I just caught up on yesterday and here we are in tomorrow, I mean today.....LOL

I didn't have a recipe for the crab rangoon, I looked it up on the 'net, some of the recipes had a lot of ingredients, and some just a few, so I sort of picked from here and there and ended up using an 8 oz. pkg of cream cheese, and added a little soy sauce, and some grated Ososweet onion for the filling along with a can of lump crab meat. It made a lot. I used wonton skins for the outside, they get pinched together around the filling corner to corner. (I'll take them out and take a picture because I don't know that I'm explaining it all that well.)

I have a deep fryer....somewhere.....but since I was only going to cook a few and freeze the rest I just heated about 3" of peanut oil in a small sauce pan and used that. I saved the oil, in a separate bottle for later use. You eat them with either sweet/sour sauce or that hot chinese mustard. Wonton skins are thinner than egg roll skins so they cook pretty fast. I don't deep fry enough foods to keep the fryer handy so it's buried in the back of the cupboard somewhere.

Carat I found the poster at a place called World Market, and it was pretty cheap. Mostly got it for the color! At least I don't have to look at that plastic anymore, and the poster will be easy to store when it's not in use. Great minds think alike, hmmm? LOL

MaryE, it's getting colder here too. I've been running around with just a light jacket for the past two weeks, but yesterday I had to get out my winter gear, as the wind shifted and it got cold. Especially if you are up on a horse, the wind always seems worse, so bundle up! We can't have you getting sick. Some scientific org. just came up with the realization that if you get chilled, you are more vulnerable to catching a bug. Well, duhhhhh! Like every mother in the world doesn't know that.

Oh, I finally got those five little blue willow plates I ordered from a seller in the UK! Took five weeks to get here in that rowboat, but they were going for about $5 USD, which is very cheap, as here they go for that much for one. They are perfect. Postage was about $12, so I still got them for less that the $5 they go for here. I have to go give some nice feedback for him on Ebay.

Hello to all, have a great day, we're going out for breakfast with some old friends and catch up on their family news, etc. so I need to get ready so my hair will be dry before I go out in the cold. TTYL
