DH has taken over the living room, to watch the Stupid Bowl with his buddy. I was on his computer for a while but I hate it, so now I'm out here at mine, with the game in my ear and a plate of nachos which I hope doesn't dribble on the keyboard.

Dcat, a clean house for $20, sounds like a good deal to me! Send them over here!!

Darius, Outback is always crowded here, but now you can order and pick up, so if I'm ever going to have a blooming onion again,that will be how I get it. I have no patience for waiting like that for a meal.

Sarv, I have a recipe for making one, but I'm not sure you want it. Requires a very large onion, like a bermuda or one of the sweet types. You can slice it by resting it on two wooden spoon handles, that way the knife doesn't go all the way through. Then you have to soak it in ice water, to make it "bloom", chilling makes it spread out. If you have a big deep fryer, and you want the batter recipe I can dmail it to you, but I wasn't impressed with the results. Restaurants have hotter fryers, mine didn't get hot enough I think as it absorbed a lot of the grease. It has to cook fast. Another restaurant here has them, so if I feel the need, I can go there!

A belated Happy Birthday to Babs, and Happy Anniversary to MaryE, sorry I didn't get here earlier. Babs, good to see you back. You've been working way too hard lately!

VAnn, the beadwork present will be a treasure...a labor of love. Nice to have something that has some meaning. You made a graceful exit.

Hello to everyone else, I have to get out of here and find a quieter room! And, yes I suspect Mini likes the attention Sammi gives her, she's always been needy for loveys and brushing, so I guess being jumped on and chased is better than being ignored. Not that we are ignoring her, I've been trying to give her and Souky both extra attention. Just so you all can get your Sammi fix here's a shot of him sitting on Mike's buddy. Of course, he is allergic! How did Sammi know that???
