Coffee's On

What word?

*whispering* feral cats...

Yea, nasty subject. Say no more.

I thought you might agree with me, however you feel free to talk about your cookin all you like...LOLOL!

It's a cold, quiet day. Cooking warms the house and feeds the freezer.
I make big batches and freeze individual servings.
It all started with chili and chicken cacciatore. My efforts to use the garden veggies.
It's smelling mighty good in here now, Sidekick Sarah is itching to eat.

I goofed off and ordered a pizza, so I could get some (DG time) laundry done, I'm not a junkie I swear.

We had Spadini [sister-in-law's Italian]- I love when she makes that!!

Dave - Stollen is a German Christmas Bread - but I love it whenever...

Hey Anita! Thanks for the explanation.

Andy, You are setting the bar way too high! You are one incredible cook. I picked up on the healthy (organic?) dishes you mentioned previously, now you are getting ethnic! What a guy!

No kidding! Andy, are you avalible for rent by the hour? (for cooking only, Dave not Dave, get your mind out of there!)

LOL - gee Dena- you've got Dave's number...

Who me?

You know that's called projection!

lol, its not a far leap to think thats were that comment was about to go...

ya think?

or is it rejection?

I better start cooking!

LOL, poor Dave (ND)
Are you going to be ok?
Anita and I should be nicer to you...............*maybe*

What, don't you guys cook? McCool does.
If you want to keep those "numbers" in the good zone, it's best to prepare your own food.
"Numbers" like blood pressure, cholesterol etc.....
We should get off this subject or I'll start rambling about bad eating habits. You don't want me to do that.
Andy P

I love to cook, even more, I love to make food for my family with the things I have grown.

Yes, you should be nicer to me. I have no sprouts. My inedibles are failing!

LOLOL!!! OMG!!! It hurts!

Morning everyone. Busy weekend. Moved MIL this weekend. DH took me to a Martina McBride concert last night. Awsome, what a powerful voice she has. I'm off today and need to to lots of cleaning and go to the grocery store.

You all talked up a storm yesterday.

Hi Suzie. Do you get President's day off too?
Dave

I didn't (pout) - I had to work. I love Martina's voice!

Yep, had today as a holiday. Spent most of the day running around to with DH. Getting ready to replace some of the water lines in the house. Our house is approx. 200 year old. It had belonged to my grandparents before we moved in. Let's just say not much, if anything, was updated. We've been here for 12 years, and try to do a couple projects a year.

Why is it every story I walk into seems to have a display of seeds to tempt me. Even the grocery store. I was very good today. I have more seed than I can probably deal with already.

Going to Sis's house for dinner in a few minutes. If I don't get back, have a good evening!

Well, since I had the day off I reenacted each president's inaugural address. Hardly got to thirty and the kids were complaining they were bored and embarrassed in front of their friends... Go figure!?

Dave (not Dave),
I'm embarrassed for them too.

Dave who?

Suzie - I live in fear of the mention of a seed that I don't have - makes me jump onto one of the seed websites and then I find a whole bunch that I want! Is there a 12-step program for this?

Anita I think you need G.A.- Germinators Anonymous.

Oh wait; I think thats for gamblers.

Then you'd better keep me away from Vegas too...I have a weakness for the nickle slots!

Looks like I'm the early bird - but I'll be nice and save the worm for someone else. It's a bit too early for tequila. So is it spring yet? I want to be able to sit on my patio with my coffee and look at all my flowers! I did notice a couple of the bulbs that had popped up have some yellow tips, but I think they might be ok

I am working in Great Neck today which means I'll have to leave by 8am. One thing good about this holiday week is that the traffic is abit lighter.

So Dena - you sketch? Can you share some of your work with us?
Andy - what's for breakfast?
Dave - you can put on the second pot of coffee - I'm tired and need lots of caffeine this morning.! By the way - you can take the kids to school too.

Suzie - which stories do you find the seeds in? I know about the beans in Jack's story..that was a good one. I wouldn't mind having the goose then I could buy a house in the Outerbanks!

What's everyone else up to?

No spring here yet Anita - woke up to an inch of snow!!!! Although there are a few yellow crocus blooming - maybe I'll try to get some pics today.

Anita, The kids are on vacation this week! You ought to know that!
In fact they are on their way to NY,NY. I'll put on more coffee.

I always feel like this last month of winter is the longest. That's why Anita and I got married in March (OK, Anita, (NOT ANITA). We head to Disney in 2 or 3 weeks, then hopefully this whole winter thing will be gone. At least we will know any winter weather will be short-lived. Then outside for me!
Dave

Good morning all.
Got my coffee, the kids are playing quietly (keep your fingers crossed!) and I'm doing some catching up!
Although it seems that everytime I post something here, I always have to leave and put out a fire somewhere in the house.

I'm really looking forward to spring... :-) The fever is upon me!!

Lora

Funny, I used to be impatient for Spring, but these days everything seems to come too fast and catch me unprepared. The garden never did get its Fall tilling (that's par for the course) so I have all that clean-up to look forward to before I can plant anything. There's always too much to do and not enough time to do it in.

Right now I'm trying to decide how much more caffeine I need to actually wake up. Don't let the fact that I'm here and typing fool you. I just responded to a squacking cat by pouring dry food into her water. Sheesh!

Spring can't be too far away. I'm starting to hear song birds in the morning. I think it's the mockingbird that hangs around the crabapple and cedar trees. He/she thinks they are his and guards them, good winter food.
My breakfast was the standard weekday bowl of cereal with a sliced banana, Sarah gets the last bite of banana.
Andy P

Funny thing you should mention your cat, Andy.
Picture this, groggy Dena procariously carring her cup of Coffee (the pressious fluid of life). My objective? Make it to the puter to say good morning to all of you, around the corner and just two more feet to shuffle, out of nowhere comes the cat, to late shes in front of my feet, my left arm rises and tries to steady the cup, while the other pinnwheels in an attempt to save my balence, I can only imagine what my face looked like. I envission it in one of those slow motion replays...I saved my self somehow from hitting the floor, but only managed to recoop half the cup of coffee..............stupid cat ambushed me again!

Might have been a racoon!

Al, I'm sure it was my cat, just look at the distain in those eyes.....LOL!

Not much white left on that cat, how much coffee have you spilled on it?
