If you were to go on a picnic, where would you like to have your picnic at-ex. beach, park, mountains..., and what type of foods, and drinks would you bring along with you?

[Evita_W]

I would take DH and I and have a picnic on a hill overlooking a park.:love: We would have Mac and Cheese and Fried Chicken. Chocolate cake or Cheesecake....Sparkling Apple Cider to drink. yum....

And then after dinner we sit and watch the sunset and watch the cute kids and their parents playing in the park....and he would ask me if I wanted to go on the swings...:flower3:

And I look into his eyes...:lovestruc :flower3:

And PUSH!!! I would watch him roll down the hill!:rolleyes1 :lmao: And then I would run down and race him down the hill! Then I would run to the swings and he would look at me and wonder what just happened...then...

I would give him a kiss and that would make it all better!:hug:

*quiet laugh---hahahahahahahaha:rolleyes:

[mickeyfan2]

I would love to go to the lake and fall a sleep on a blanket under the pine trees.

Bring along - DH, blanket, swim suits, grill, charcoal, hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, potato and macaroni salad.

[Kirby]

I would like to have a picnic anywhere, the beach, lake, park, mountains, you name it. It all depends on where I'm at as to what I would eat but if there is a place to grill, of course there would be hot dogs and hamburgers, chips, potato salad, pickles, cookies, just a bunch of easy stuff. And if we could stay later and have a campfire, there'd be stuff for s'mores!

Maybe we should all just get together for one giant picnic and bonfire! :cool1:
Everyone can bring a dish to share. Much easier that way. ;)

If you were to study a type of animal to learn more about it, which animal would you pick, and why?

[Meriweather]

Just a comment....did anyone else lose post counts?? :(
Came home and it is less. I posted a couple of weeks ago about hitting 70,000....looks like I have that one to look forward to again :rolleyes:

[mommaU4]

If you were to study a type of animal to learn more about it, which animal would you pick, and why?
Dolphins. I am just fascinated by them. When I was a kid I'd go to Sea World and I always said I wanted to be a dolphin trainer. Too bad I don't like the water and don't know how to swim! :rolleyes:

Huh, that's weird. It's been my experience that you only lose posts when a thread you posted on is poofed, not closed. :confused3

[Evita_W]

I want to learn more about Lions!:scared1: Well, my DH proposed to me in front of the lion's den at the Wild Animal Park. (Also, that is where we shared our 1st kiss):cloud9:

I always have loved CATS in any form....domesticated or wild it does not matter...

[AlexWyattMommy]

I love sheep. I would like to learn more about their care and how to process their wool.

[mickeyfan2]

Dolphins/Killer whales/Penguins/Seals

Probably birds. I love to watch them.

I don't know. I haven't paid any attention to them in quite a while.

I don't think on post on "poof" threads
Do we have "poof" threads? :confused3 I always hear about them after the fact. Always wanted to read one to see why they were "poofed". ;)

[Missy1961]

Were you posting on Saturday when there were all the problems? maybe that's why some went bye-bye.

[mickeyfan2]

They are still going bye-bye.

[Meriweather]

I post everyday I have computer access ;)
I don't usually notice my post count, but I made a point of making sure 70,000 was done here on the exchange board....and that was over 1000 posts ago...probably over a week ago.

Oh well, I will be back there before I know it :rolleyes:

I am willing to take on that challenge.

Todays lesson - Hide the husband's favorite piece of clothing. When he can't find it tell him you are sure it is there. Tell him to just keep looking. Then have him take the garbage out. When he is doing that put the item back. When he comes back and asks again tell him you can look together. Then see his face when it is right there to be found. Make a joke about old age and then walk away.

See it can be really easy.


Does anybody feel sorry for my DH? Funny thing is he is so excited we are getting ready to celebrate our 25th anniversary. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

He sure must. He always says that life with me is never boring. The most common response after I say "honey" is "what did you do?":rotfl: :rotfl:

[Meriweather]

:rotfl: Well, I can do things like that to DH ;) That is never a problem.

I've met Beth too.....she was cute and shy ::yes::
I just don't say things that get me in trouble with any kind of authority :rolleyes:
I don't like to draw attention to myself.

Congrats on 25 years, Colleen. When is the date? We are approaching 34!! :eek: How can that be when I am only 40?? :confused: Married VERY young :rotfl:

[mommytotwo]

Wow Nancy, you had gotten married at a very young age :lmao: .

I don't like to draw attention to myself either. That's why we have to teach you to be bad, and yet never let them suspect you of being anything but good. ;) :rotfl:

Congrats to all those with upcoming anniversaries! My 15th anniversary is this June.

[mickeyfan2]

I just don't say things that get me in trouble with any kind of authority :rolleyes:
I don't like to draw attention to myself.
You can be both bad and look good at the same time. The last time I did not question authority I was in the 6th grade. I went to junior high and all hell broke loose. My homeroom from 7th - 12th was notorious!!! They did not know what to do about us since 12 of the top 25 in our class of almost 700 came from my homeroom. We had the brains to pull off the stunts. We even had the police in our homeroom after our senior year stunts. They threatened to expel us all. Nobody cracked. Not even the innocent ones. I was so innocent!!:rotfl: My math teacher said they did not know what to do with us since 1/2 were at the top of the class. They did nothing and that completed our 6 years of terror.

Congrats on 25 years, Colleen. When is the date? We are approaching 34!! :eek: How can that be when I am only 40?? :confused: Married VERY young :rotfl:
In June.

Wow Nancy, you had gotten married at a very young age :lmao: .
She was the true child bride!

I don't like to draw attention to myself either. That's why we have to teach you to be bad, and yet never let them suspect you of being anything but good. ;) :rotfl:
You can learn from the masters!!!!

Congrats to all those with upcoming anniversaries! My 15th anniversary is this June.

I second this, meeting a hot alien would be cool, just don't tell my DH,:ssst:

[Kirby]

Ours is June 12th, 27 years.

What would I like to find in outer space? Proof of life beyond our planet but I think it would be pretty scary to do so.

Our wedding anniversary is in August -- gotta get a calculator -- just a minute. :rotfl: A wait! I have to remember using what age I was when I married -- and I had just turned 10. ;) :lmao: We will be married 32 years. :hippie:

Mine is a large group -- my pins. :banana: Everything else could go if it had to.

We were in the Studios last night and I bought a few rack pins I just love. (They are coming out with the neatest rack pins, I think.)
Pin 61344: WDW - Rock 'N Roller Coaster® Backstage Pass

Pin 60193: Twilight Zone™ Tower of Terror - Television Set (Lenticular)

What Disney item that you own is your most favorite?

Wow...hard to say. My kids would say it's my Mickey mug that no one is allowed to touch:rotfl:

[AlexWyattMommy]

I love the mugs I have rec'd through these exchanges. I use them all!

Next would be the pins. I :love: pins.

And finally, the T-Shirts and my awesome purse. I still get compliments on my wonderful Mickey head designer purse. Thank you so much for it!!

[Kirby]

It's not something I've bought but a picture of Carol talking to Peter Pan when she was five years old.

Sounds like fun Beth. We were just looking at our DCA pictures this morning in our album.

[mommytotwo]

Another new week, and one with a sad start since someone we know passed away last week. We have visited with the family, will be attending the funeral....so with all this happening, it made me think about when I pass away, and what I would like to have done. My wishes would be to be cremated, and put along side my first son. Nothing else is needed, as long as that is done.
It is sad, yet it is part of reality.
So, today's QOTD is-

Do you have any particular wishes when it comes to your funeral or passing?

[mommaU4]

I'm so sorry to hear that. :guilty:
I hate to think about things like that. I know you are supposed to plan and all, but all I can think of is my kids and what would happen to them if I wasn't around so then I usually stop thinking about it. :sad2:

[mommytotwo]

I know it is hard to think of how things would be like for my kids if I was not around.
We had to deal with my FIL's funeral last year, and it was costly :scared1: . But, we knew what his wishes were so that did make it easier for the family when we came together to discuss what we needed done.

Sorry to hear your loss. I try not to think about it much either, a couple of weeks ago my whole family was thinking about the loss of a friend. A very active 15 year old from my son's High School was killed in a car accident. She was a good friend of my middle son, he was texting her about 10 minutes before the accident happen. We think her brother was driving to fast on the wet road and loss control of the car, went head first into a tree, killing his sister and his best friend. We were thinking about dead alot during this week, it really touched home, my kids had never known someone close in age that had pass. It was a very difficult week for all of us.

The one thing my DH and I need to do is put together a will, so we know our kids are taken care of.

[TiggerDad3]

Ok this question is the easy one... Our Wedding Day Pins!

and now the hard question.....

to be serious..
Don't cremate me
Don't spend a bunch of money on the box I get burried in
Do have a party in my honor and celebrate my life!

OMG, that is so sad! :sad1: What a tragedy for that family. To lose one child and then the other one will forever be dealing with what he did. Oh man.

I agree with you though, it makes you realize you better make sure arrangements are made to care for your kids cause you just never know.


Do have a party in my honor and celebrate my life!

Well, that's a good way of looking at it. I'd like that too. Just remember the good times.

Cremate me and then take my ashes out early in the country some Spring morning or late Fall evening and let the wind blow my ashes away.

[Luv2Roam]

DH and I FINALLY had our wills done last year. No kids, and even our nieces and nephews are not that far behind us in age.
We both want to be cremated, and frankly they coud scatter my ashes on Seven Seas Lagoon and I would really be in heaven. :rotfl:
No fancy schmancy good bye needed for us.

[mommytotwo]

What dishes do you cook that your family members do not care for?

[AlexWyattMommy]

:rotfl2: At least once week one of my boys will suddenly not like what I making.

[bluerendezvous]

My boys acted like I was trying to poison them at most every meal until recently...
Now, they are eating everything! I'm going to need a working farm to be able to feed them.

They still won't eat Gumbo! Yum! More for us!

[mommaU4]

What dishes do you cook that your family members do not care for?

Oh man, don't even get me started on this. My kids are so picky. They'd be happy eating pizza and chicken nuggets every day. :rolleyes:

[mommytotwo]

Oh man, don't even get me started on this. My kids are so picky. They'd be happy eating pizza and chicken nuggets every day. :rolleyes:


My daughter would not eat pizza if it has marinara sauce on it. And, if we get her a pizza with no marinara sauce, but one with cheese, and pepperoni, she would not eat it either. She doesn't like pepperonis, and even if we pick it off, she would not touch it :sad2: .

It is better in our house if we stick to the basic selections. New foods do not get accepted well :(. I am picky as well. :angel:

[schnerk]

Hey Guys! We are back from London and Paris, and I have to say, I missed y'all...

I love to make a Tuna Cassarole that is basically Tuna, Mac and Cheese, and Cream Corn. So tasty!!!

But, for some reason, my family CAN'T STAND IT!!! :confused3

[Kirby]

What dishes do you cook that your family members do not care for?
Most of what I cook any more so I cook for Joe and I. Carol has gotten really picky this last year. James just likes a home cooked meal whenever he drops in from college.

Hi, New to the Exchange Boards, but post often on the DisneyLand boards.

Hmmm toughie there on what my family likes, and does not like. I know my DH can't stand if I make Shepards Pie which is a dish only done when I am either worn out from work, or in a big hurry, and he also does not care for Pork. My son will not eat Meatloaf, so I came up with calling it Crabby Patty Loaf :rolleyes1 lol. Thank god for the obnoxious Spongebob at times that is the only way he eats it go figure.:rolleyes:

Hi, New to the Exchange Boards, but post often on the DisneyLand boards.

Welcome to the exchange board :).

Kids can be very silly at times, but hey at least it is a way for them to try something that they won't have in the first place right. :thumbsup2

[mommytotwo]

The board seems a bit slow today, so here is another QOTD.



If you could change one thing in this nation, what would it be?

[AlexWyattMommy]

Really wanna know?

Mandatory military duty - 2 years - everyone after high school, before college. No if ands or buts. No buying your way out, no postponing.

I would make lobbyist illeagal! I am so tired of our elected officials lining their pockets and sticking it to the rest of us.

Oh, and I would like to make every third Wednesday a holiday. That shouldn't be too hard, right?

[Luv2Roam]

No one HAS To get up before it is at least light outside. Only if they wish! (Can you tell I am not a morning person? ;) )

I have always felt the same.

I agree!

Better yet, mandatory vacations!

There's many things that could be changed but I do wish they would do away with daylight savings times.

If you were to be a child of a celebrity couple, which couple would you like to have as a mom, and dad, and why?

[schnerk]

Gwen Steffani and That guy from Bush!

They seem to be fairly normal, as far as celebs go. And in this day and age, I would be happy with normal...

[mommaU4]

If you were to be a child of a celebrity couple, which couple would you like to have as a mom, and dad, and why?

Oh wow, good question. :confused: Maybe Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. I'd have lots of brothers and sisters, and get to travel a lot. Oh, and hopefully I'd be really good looking with those genes of theirs!! LOL

[pennst8r]

I love watching old movies (cause I'm old! :rotfl2: ) so I'd pick someone like Doris Day and James Garner.

I can't think of any of today's stars I'd want to live with.

Then again...I just got back from 3 days at camp with a bunch of 5th graders and I'm not sure I"m thinking clearly! :crazy2:

[Evita_W]

If you were to be a child of a celebrity couple, which couple would you like to have as a mom, and dad, and why?

This is a hard one....hummm...I guess I would pick...Walt and Lillian Disney! I would love to have been out at early Disneyland or wandering the studios and meeting all those celebrities. I know that Walt really loved his daughters.

It is hard to pick a couple now because so many get divorced!:confused3
If I play Matchmaker and set up a couple...I pick Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gynllenhall. (I know spelled their names wrong.) I like her alot and her daughter has my name, just spelled differently.

Welcome to a new month. Don't forget to change your calendars, and also be sure that your safety stickers on your cars are not expired.

Todays QOTD is-
If you were to have a set of twins-a boy, and a girl what would you name them, and why? Also, where would you like to raise them, and why?

[Kirby]

If you were to be a child of a celebrity couple, which couple would you like to have as a mom, and dad, and why?
Hmm, that's a hard one. Maybe Will Smith and his wife (can't remember her name). They seem like a fairly stable couple. Or what about John Travolta and his wife (once again I can't remember the name). I'm sure that there are others that don't get in the limelight very often that would be good parents.

If you were to have a set of twins-a boy, and a girl what would you name them, and why? Also, where would you like to raise them, and why?
The names Clifford and Valerie just popped into my head. I would not name twins rhyming names or names with the same first letter of the alphabet. I'd raise them here in Rockwall, it's a good place to live. Or maybe a little farther out in the country. While both of my kids like visiting the city, they both prefer country, small town living.


Well, I told off Carol's drill team instructor last night through an e-mail. They are taking the TAKS test this week so she won't she her instructor until Monday. I hope that it doesn't affect how she is treated in class too much next week.

[pennst8r]

I didn't realize they should really be married! sorry!

that makes it much harder...

[AlexWyattMommy]

I cannot fathom having more kids!! I already had one set of twins (2 girls) and have four kids total, so 2 more would have me pulling my hair out!! :rotfl2:

I also have no clue what I'd name them since it was hard enough finding names for the four we have, but I do know it wouldn't be anything matching or too cutesy.

As for where to raise them, well, if I could move the whole family anywhere, I'd like to pack up and live in Northern CA. but that will never happen because it's too expensive up there! :rolleyes:

[mommytotwo]

What do you think of My Space? Do you have one?

[Kirby]

I don't have anything that I am the first owner of that I would consider passing down to my children.

I think that MySpace is okay but I wouldn't be a member. It's too much work and I can visit with my friends via the telephone or e-mail just as easily. I can also come here too and visit with you which is what I would much rather do.

[schnerk]

What do you think of My Space? Do you have one?

I'm a parent of 2 dd's... I have no space:)


I have a myspace page (www.myspace.com/schnerk) , but I don't know why...

[Luv2Roam]

My space would not be a priority at all for me. Too many wackos out there anymore anyway. (Nicer to be around fellow Disney nuts. :banana: We aren't crazy -- much. :thumbsup2 :rotfl2: )

[JLitfin]

What do you think of My Space? Do you have one?

No, I don't do My Space but my kids do, 3 teenagers. I don't like it, they are on it all the time talking to friends and hopefully that's it. We keep a close eye on what they do online but as parents we can't catch everything. We do have a program that we use to check up on the kids since we have had issues with the Space. Some kids use the space as an area to show off in front of others, and to act tough. Others use it to spam young people, this happen to my oldest son. Plus, others will use their phones and film situations and post them on My Space. We had this happen to my youngest son, he had a situation last fall and it showed up on someones Space and we had to contact the individual in charge of My Space to have it removed. So needless to say I'm not a fan of My Space.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I don't do my space. I do not have need to expose my inner soul to the whole world. My friends know me and that's good enough for me.

[pennst8r]

What do you think of My Space? Do you have one?

No, I agree with everyone else who said it--not enough time or desire to have one.

DSs don't have any either--and it's not something they'll do any time soon as long as I have a say in computer time. Right now they're still happy with Runescape. :goodvibes

Hi Exchangers. Summer is just a month away for my daughter. I am putting together a art/craft box for her with construction paper, a note book, pens, pencils, coloring pens, crayons, glue, googly eyes,....

Does anyone have ideas on activities that she could do? I have done a bunch of things with her in the past that we will do, but wanted to come up with new ideas.

Any good online websites? Any other projects? She had done a project of sending her koala doll, and stuffed rabbit to different states, and even to Canada with the help of DISers, and other friends, so maybe a neat short project like that.

Any ideas? Maybe a penpal? She is 5 1/2 years old.

Crayola has a good site for crafts, and I'm sure you know about FamilyFun :goodvibes www.dltk-kids.com is another.

I had penpals as a kid--I loved it. I think it's sad that it's died out a bit with email.

My daughter likes dltk kids. I subscribe to Family Fun, and they also have neat ideas. I will have to check Crayola since I haven't gone on that site for a bit. My daughter had two penpals, but they don't keep in touch as much anymore. They usually just send each other things for each others birthday, and for the different holidays.
Thank you for those ideas. :goodvibes

[mommaU4]

What do you think of My Space? Do you have one?I think like anything else it's all in how you use it. I have a MySpace page, but it's private so only people I've added as friends can see what's on there.

On my friends list I have some cousins/family in MI, and some of the ladies I met on the DIS and went to WDW with. It's like having your own webpage. I can use the blog as a way to let people know what I'm up to, and post pics of the kids or our trips. Then they can view it at their convenience.

My DS13 wants one. I am just not sure how I feel about that though. I think he's still too young. He wants it as a way to share pics and keep in touch with his friend in MI. I don't know. I go back and forth on whether to allow it or not. :confused3


Right now they're still happy with Runescape. :goodvibesMy DS loves Runescape!!



Any ideas? Maybe a penpal? She is 5 1/2 years old.
I'm not good at the artsy craftsy stuff. Never was. BUT if your DD would like a pen pal, I've got 3 girls who love to write. They are all older, but still. I know they'd be up for it. Just send me a PM if you are interested.

I do not smoke. If other people want to, then that's their decision. I don't know of any business that allows smoking inside anymore except for maybe designated areas. Our town has banned smoking inside restaurants. Smoke from cigarettes bothers me more now as I've gotten older. People are not allowed to smoke in my car or my house.

I hate that is so addictive that smokers who want to quit, can't. That is just wrong on so many levels.

For those that do smoke, fully knowing what it can and will do them, and still want to, that is up to them. I don't think you can save a person from themselves. Nor should we. Because then, where do you draw the line? :confused3

I do agree that because second hand smoke is just as dangerous as to those around the smoker as the smoking is to them, it should not be allowed in public areas. We all have the right to keep ourselves & loved ones safe, as much as one really can that is.

[Luv2Roam]

ugh. (P-u)
Don't smoke. DH use to, but quit decades ago, after various attempts. (He finally did through the American Cancer Society cessation program.)
Now he is one of those obnoxious ex-smokers who go on and on about it.
We are spoiled because in FL and in NE restaurants are smoke free.
When we visit IN I hate going to restaurants because they stink.
One trip last year to IN I felt I was leaving a stinky ashtray. Couldn't wait to leave. Everywhere smelled like smoke. This last trip was not as bad, but still noticeable.

It does bother me WDW resorts are "smoke free". Now I think smokers just try to hide their smelly secret ;) and inflict it more now more on others.
If they want to smoke, I really do not care. I just don't want to smell it.
We all have our vices.

[DearDaisyinDurham]

We don't smoke (DH used to but quit long ago) and in Ontario there really isn't smoking allowed anywhere in public. When we went to Detroit (which is a gorgeous downtown btw) for the hockey game last weekend we noticed what a difference it makes for people to be smoking where you eat! Wow. Once you don't have smoke anywhere, you really notice it when it is there.

The Best Southern Green Beans (From Recipezaar)

These are FANTASTIC! This recipe was revised from an old family favorite! My southern roots come through on this one! Either way the beans end up melting in your mouth and the cooked bacon adds more flavor! REALLY tasty! Good for cookouts or to compliment any meal!

Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen green bean, do not drain or 2 (14 ounce) cans green beans, do not drain
4-6 slices bacon
1 large onion, sliced large chunks
1 dash red pepper flakes (optional)
salt and pepper

1 Put green beans in pot- if canned add juices, if frozen add water enough to see but not cover beans- cook on medium heat.
2 Fry bacon until cooked but not too crisp- drain on paper towel.
3 Cut onion in large (thick) slices and break rings apart in to beans.
4 Crumble or rip bacon apart add to beans.
5 Add spices to taste.
6 Let cook for a few hours on low heat.
7 If want to serve sooner- turn heat up and cook until water boils down.

Sweet Potato Pancakes
Boatwright's
Port Orleans-Riverside

Pancakes:
1 ¼ cups brown sugar
¼ tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp cinnamon
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ tsp nutmeg
1 ½ cups milk
3 eggs-beaten
6 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
12-oz can sweet potato, mashed

Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir in milk and eggs. Add oil and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Fold in the mashed sweet potatoes (should result in a lumpy texture). In a small nonstick frying pan, heat 1 tsp vegetable oil over medium heat. Pour in batter to desired size. Cook until dark brown (sweet potato pancakes take a little longer to cook than regular pancakes because of the density of the sweet potatoes). Serve pancakes warm with pecan honey butter.

Pecan honey butter:
1 stick butter (at room temperature)
¼ cup honey
¼ cup toasted pecans

Combine all ingredients

Don't smoke and being around smokers really bothers me. I'm so glad they banned smoking from any public buildings in our area. I'm also glad many hotel chains has banned smoking except for certain areas on their grounds. Both my DH and I have allergies and when we are around second hand smoke our eyes start to burn and it becomes hard to breath. So we try to stay away from smoking areas as much as we can.

I am so boring when it comes to making my own salad. I never know what to put. That's why I like to order salads when we go out. They are so good and come up with so many different combinations of ingredients. Of course, they probably aren't very healthy for you then! :rotfl:

This is a Spinach Dip recipe that I found online. I hate it. :rotfl: But that's because I don't like spinach. BUT everyone else who's ever had it, loves it!!! It's so weird.

My DH just took it into work for a baby shower the other night, and since he'd brought it in before, as soon as the ladies there saw it, two of them who were on diets for an upcoming wedding, went off their diet just to eat it. :confused3

Geez, it ain't cheesecake ladies!! :rotfl2:

INGREDIENTS
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
1 (1.8 ounce) package dry leek soup mix
1 (4 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1/2 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (1 pound) loaf round sourdough bread


DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, dry leek soup mix, water chestnuts and chopped spinach. Chill in the refrigerator 6 hours, or overnight.
Remove top and interior of sourdough bread. Fill with mayonnaise mixture. Tear removed bread chunks into pieces for dipping

I've just gotta have Salad Cream, not Mayonnaise with my salad. It's not common in the US but you can (thankfully) get it in the International aisle of Publix (not sure about anywhere else).

My salad consists of boring boring boring stuff! :confused3

[pennst8r]

I always say I like any salad I don't have to make myself! Probably because it gets time consuming to cut up alot of things for it. So...as long as I"m at a salad bar choosing, I'll put just about any veggie in it. I don't like croutons so much and go for creamy dressings. I had one at Panerea recently with apples, pears, dried cherries, gorgonzola cheese and pecans in it--I made that at home for weeks.

What is Salad cream?? Just curious....:surfweb:

Ooooh we all love salad cream. We have it with fish, on salad, in sandwiches and yes with fries! It's hard to describe but waaay nicer than mayo IMHO. It tastes lighter and has more vinegar but you really have to taste it to love it.

Here's a link to wikipedia info on salad cream http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salad_cream

As for salads if someone else did the chopping, I'll have whatever is going but if it's home made then I am less adventurous.

Our family favourite veggie recipe at the moment is bean chilli. Pretty much anything goes in but usually 2 cans mixed beans, 1 can red kidney beans, 3 cans chopped plum toms with herbs, 1/2 tube tomato puree, 2 onions, 1 can sweetcorn in water, 3 bell peppers, garlic and chilli. It tastes even better for lunch the next day!

[pennst8r]

I've seen salad cream around here in stores like Wegman's. I think our new Weis Markets might have it, too. I'll have to try it, since I love mayo. I go to that part of the store often to get my clotted cream fix! :goodvibes

Your bean recipe looks interesting, in a good way. ;) I love finding new things to bring to potlucks.

[pennst8r]

Here's a good salad:

1 head romaine lettuce, torn into bite size pieces
4 oz shredded swiss cheese

1/2 t salt.
2/3 cup oil
1 T poppy seeds

Process first 5 ingredients until blended. Add oil in a steady stream while machine is running, until thick and smooth. Add poppy seeds and process just a few seconds more to mix.


Zucchini Bread. (Hey, it's a veggie!)

3 eggs
2 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown brown sugar
1 cup oil
2-3 T sour cream

When you rent a car, what type grade do you usually get?

[mommaU4]

When you rent a car, what type grade do you usually get?

Type grade? :confused: Is that the same as what model? Well, if it is, we don't have a choice. We have a family of 6 so we have to rent a minivan.

Once when DH's family joined us for a road trip from MI to Niagara Falls, we rented a some monster SUV (like a Chevy Tahoe or something). It seated 9 and was wonderful! So much room! I loved it. :love:

Of course, with gas prices being what they are now, I'd never be able to afford to drive one even if I could afford to buy one. (which I can't) :rotfl:

[mommytotwo]

Oops, car class.
I had checked on rental car prices, and for four days to rent a van it was $226 or so, but to rent a full size car, it was $99. :scared1: That was a big difference for us, so we changed our reservation. Hopefully everything that we have will fit in the full sized car. If not, then we will have to pay that outrageous price. :sad2:

We have been to Florida twice and both times had a Grand Caravan. Next time we might go for a Durango. That's all down to DH as he is the driver.

[AlexWyattMommy]

:confused3 I don't think I've ever rented a car. I guess I would get whatever the insurance paid for (cause I'm sure it would be an accident that caused me to rent a car).

[Kirby]

Salads, love them but don't like to make them. If I go to a buffet, I usually get the usual, lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, etc. all topped off with sunflower seeds and ranch dressing. If there is pickled okra, I add that to the side.

There is a salad I like at Cotton Patch called Harvest Salad. It consists of various lettuces (no iceburg) and spinach, raisins, walnuts (I think), chicken strips (grilled or fried, can't remember), thinly sliced Golden Delicious apples and crumbled Blue Cheese. Of course, I add Ranch dressing to the mix. Love it!!

We haven't rented a car in years but the two we did rent, one was a Ford Aerostar van and the other was a big Econoline seven person van. We may have to rent for our trip to Chicago in December and are looking at a SUV of some sort.

What is your most favorite ocean/beach activity?
I hate the beach, but I love the coastline. I know that sounds weird, but the beaches in SoCal were I grew up, do nothing for me. They are hot, crowded, and dirty. Well, some of them are but not all.

I love the rugged coastline of northern CA and on up into OR and WA with the cliffs, and rocks. And my favorite thing to do would be to just take a nice stroll along the beach and watch the sunset.


:blush:

Congrats :teeth::rotfl:
Hey, did you see we have a poll up to start picking the dates for next years ladies only trip to Disneyland? (link in my sig) I hope you can make it next time! And there are some pics and a slideshow on the first page of our trip thread.

[Meriweather]

You talk to much, Evita :rotfl:
Did you see my post count :rolleyes:

Beth, I hope I can make it. Not sure I would be good to vote now because I have no opinion now because I have no idea what is going on :rolleyes:

That's great! I'm so happy you all found something. And I hope your house sells quickly. :wizard:


And yes, I saw your cruise ticker!! Not long now at all. I can't wait to hear all about it! :yay: Have fun!!!!

[Meriweather]

I voted on the poll and posted.

We are having a house built, so still 7 mo. or so off......hopefully that is enough time to get this house sold :rolleyes: Not much market and we are rather out in the sticks.

Yep...cruise time FRIDAY!! We leave very early.
I hate leaving my kitty for that long though.....that is always a worry for me.
I am all packed, though, and ready to go!!

[mommaU4]

Oh wow, you're having one built. That's nice, you can get what you want that way. :thumbsup2

[Meriweather]

Oh yeah....the only way to go.
We already went down there again to pick things out. That was fun.

What is your most favorite ocean/beach activity?
To be honest, I don't have one cause I'm rarely at the beach but when I've been I've enjoyed just watching the ocean. I would sometime like to go somewhere where that is known for it's shells and do some shelling.

I like to go .
Me too but at the lake.

Why THANK YOU!! I have so much fun on here...I am sure it won't take a whole year to get another 100 posts!
Congratulations! Aren't you considere a DIS vetern now? Join in on one of the games and you'll see our posts count up fast.

Congratulations, Nancy! Building your home can be so much fun. We were one of the lucky ones that had no problems when we did ours. Good luck on selling yours!

We already went down there again to pick things out. That was fun.
Thought that you had been pretty quiet. So that's where you've been.....

It is fun...but slow.
We had this house built too. And the one before was a new build also, so I am spoiled and only like to live in new houses :rotfl:

I leave tomorrow for the long awaited cruise :yay: that's why I have been quiet. I didn't want to start or join anymore exchanges until we get back....May 25!! :woohoo:
Then watch for the regional, beach towels, Anything Mickey and pin exchanges to be starting :teeth:

[mommaU4]

Then watch for the regional, beach towels, Anything Mickey and pin exchanges to be starting :teeth:

I can't do the beach towels since we'll be gone that whole time, and I'm not sure I'll be able to do the regional one either. :( But I am in for sure on the Anything Mickey and the pin exchange. :yay:

[Meriweather]

Well, we'll miss you in those.

WOW, that is a major price raise :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: .

[AlexWyattMommy]

What are your favorite comfort foods?

Bread. Any and all kinds of bread. It's the first thing I reach for when I need to comfort. With a cup of hot tea. Hmmm, it's lunch time. I think I'll go have some bread and a cup of tea.

[Missy1961]

Darn those price increases! I will have to pick & choose very carefully what exchanges I am going to do.

[TiggerDad3]

What are your favorite comfort foods?

Hot Tea all kinds! Just thinking about it... now I need a cup!
Cheese, Chocolate, Sushi.

[Kirby]

I wish I could find a hot tea that I cared for. Maybe I just don't brew it right or add the right amount of sweetener. And I don't care for flavored teas. They fall in the category of Koolaid, Powerade, etc. Don't care for fruit flavored drinks at all.

Comfort foods? Hamburgers. Most any kind of food could be a comfort food to me but not sweets. They just make me feel bad.

Got my bloodwork tests back and my chloresterol is down from where it was last October. Yay! No Zocor for me!

:cheer2: :cheer2: Good job Susan.

I am not a tea drinker as well. The closest I would come to it would be a Jamba Juice macha smoothie or certain green tea ice creams, and sweets.

As for a comfort food, I like sushi, and Thai food.

Good news!:banana:

I had a Russian great grandmother who always had tea in her house--I still like it the way she'd make it for me...strong with milk and sugar. They didn't care about giving kids caffeine back then! :rotfl:

I think I turn more to salty things than to sweet when I'm stress eating.

You had a Baba, too? :flower3: Did yours make bread? I wish I had her recipe. It was always warm and dense, slathered with butter. yum....THAT would be my comfort food. I should also mention she made everyone....and I mean everyone...do a shot of whiskey when they came into her house. You didn't get arrested back then for serving minors! :rotfl:

ok, now I have to go search for a bread recipe... :surfweb: .. and some bourbon...

[AlexWyattMommy]

I miss my Baba!

Was your bread a little bit on the sweet side? If so, I have the recipe.

[pennst8r]

OMG! Please pm me the recipe!! :worship:

[AlexWyattMommy]

It's sent. :thumbsup2

[AlexWyattMommy]

Did yours make nut rolls and poppyseed rolls?

[pennst8r]

yes! I have those recipes. SHe used to make lekvar (prune) ones too. Ok, so while we're reminiscing :goodvibes ....how about perogies, halupki, and halushki?

[AlexWyattMommy]

I have a recipe for noodles that taste just like perogi. We called it halushki & cabbage. We called halupki pigs-in-the-blanket. :rotfl2:

What are your Mother's Day plans for tomorrow?

[AlexWyattMommy]

No plans.

[spookysarah]

I'm in Scotland and we had Mother's Day back in March. I had a lovely day and my girls baked cookies and cakes, made buches of flowers from tissue paper, drew lots of pictures and managed to wait until a respectable hour to come in and bounce on my bed! :rotfl: :cloud9:

Hope all you mums have a lovely day. :thumbsup2

[Kirby]

Thank you, Sarah!

My plans for tomorrow are to rest and relax. I'm hoping to be taken out to breakfast, my favorite meal of the day! I am spending all day today decorating for the band banquet, chaperoning it and then tearing it down. I will definately need some pampering tomorrow!

[mommaU4]

What are your Mother's Day plans for tomorrow?

Well, nothing spectacular, but the kids all have cards and gifts they've made at school that they want to give me. We'll probably go out to lunch or maybe just get take out. Anything so I don't have to be in the kitchen. LOL

And I went shopping today and picked out 2 new shirts as one of my presents.

I told my DH I didn't want to spend a lot because we are taking a weeks vacation in less then a month and I'd rather save the money for that.

[JLitfin]

What are your Mother's Day plans for tomorrow?

In the morning we'll go to church and than my nephew's wife set up dinner reservations in order to celebrate Mother's Day with the family.

I don't know. I don't like flowers, too expensive for something that will just die. LOL I don't need any chocolate. Fruits? Eh. I don't know. :confused:

[sbpuckett]

Happy Mothers Day mommyoftwo! Thanks for the lovely PM!!

Happy Mothers Day to all of you!!!

Oh yeah... although I definitely don't need it, I'd get chocolate:worship:

[mommytotwo]

I would choose to get a seafood delivery.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Oh, that's a good one. Being in the middle of the country, it is very hard to find decent seafood. I'd love some shipped directly to me.



HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

[spookysarah]

If I had to choose from flowers, fruit or chocolate I would pick flowrs but if I could have anything delivered right now it would be some Hot Tamales as my supply has run dry. :rotfl:

They're the ones! Oh yummy, they remind me of Florida. I was going to try and make them last but it didn't work. :blush: Thanks you very much for the offer but I can't let you do that for me. I'll be getting some in July when a friend comes back from WDW.

I think that different types of nuts would be fun, chocolate coated would be best.

If you were to be a spokesperson for an organization locally or nationally, which organization would you choose to work for or be part of, and what would your platform be?
I would not like to be a spokesperson. I am a behind the scenes type of worker.

Mmmmmm 3 pounds of Hot Tamales..
Yum! I used to eat those when I was a kid. Brings back memories.....

[AlexWyattMommy]

If you were to be a spokesperson for an organization locally or nationally, which organization would you choose to work for or be part of, and what would your platform be?

I couldn't be a spokesperson. I would never make sense, I get too tongue tied.

Does the dress have to fit my current figure or high school figure? There's a bit of a difference! :rotfl:

I'm off to look at dresses, will post when I find one.

Edited to add, proms were really not heard of when I was at school. They are becoming more popular though.

[mommaU4]

:lmao: No kidding!!! Like the kind of difference that having four kids makes. :scared1: :scared: :sad2:

Maybe I could just post my actual senior banquet pic. Oh, and we didn't have proms because I went to a private school and it wasn't allowed so we had banquets instead. Same thing, pics, food, entertainment, just no dancing. :rolleyes:

Tell us what some of your favorite snacks are.Oooooh, that's easy! I have lots of fave snacks. I like carrots and ranch dip. Chips and salsa. Hot, buttered popcorn. And of course, junkie stuff like cookies.

[Kirby]

I would wear a nice pantsuit. I don't wear dresses anymore. No corsages either, but a small floral bouquet to dress up my table would be nice. I don't know what song. Will have to give that some thought.

My favorite snack.....I have lot's of them. Chocolate covered peanuts, trail mix, Fritos, peanut M&M's, carrots and ranch dressing, apples and caramel dip, just to name a few.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Tell us what some of your favorite snacks are.

Couldn't do the prom thing. Hated the whole idea. Did it, but hated it. Not going back there.

This one I can do.

Bread, cheese, fruit on a plate with some hot tea.

Nachos.

Chocolate chip cookies.

Toated banana or zucchini bread with lots of butter or cream cheese.

And when watching a movie, have to have the popcorn.popcorn::

[bobbiwoz]

Tell us what some of your favorite snacks are.

Apples, good cheeses and crackers, preferably Pepperidge Farm.

Bobbi

[adaygaby]

chocolate, caramel apples, chocolate cakes, chocolate, pecan pies, and ....

have I mentioned chocolate??;) ;) ;)

[spookysarah]

No dresses, tuxedos, or flowers :flower3: . :confused3

Sorry for the delay but oh my, there are TONS of lovely dresses! My favourite colours are green and orange but I didn't see anything I really liked so it has to be this one below. I would wear it now if I had anywhere to wear it to, it's fabulous! I guess a simple red corsage would be best and I'd go for a similar hairstyle but I have dark hair. No idea about a song though.

Have to say it's not really appropriate for a Scottish dance though as it's too long for dancing!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I wish I had somewhere to wear that dress.

[mommytotwo]

:santa: Come, and join us for the Christmas in July Present Exchange everyone :santa:.

[spookysarah]

Snack of the moment has to be Oreos as they are on special offer everywhere. I also like chilled grapes and am very partial to nibbling on Scottish mature cheddar (like a big old mouse!) Of course I love other cookies and candy too.

[Kirby]

What a pretty dress! I'd love for Carol to have one like that for prom next year.

[mommaU4]

I just wanted to give the heads up that Kohls is going to have their entire stock of beach towels on sale for 50% off starting Thursday.

Might be a good time to stock up for summer and for Meriweather's upcoming Beach Towel exchange! :cool1:

[mommaU4]

All of the above sauces and more!! I love sauces on my foods. If I can dip it in something then I am a happy camper. I couldn't possibly pic a favorite one. I like them all.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I don't know if I met a sauce I didn't care for? I love to dip. Dip bread, veggies, pizza, chips. Smother my main dishes is BBQ, marinara, sweet&sour, teriyaki, honey mustard, southwestern spicy. Oh I think I need a snack.

[Evita_W]

hummmm.....dip huh? I know a few dips....:rolleyes1 :rotfl2: :rolleyes:

well, I LOVE ranch dressing for dipping things in. (veggies, fries, chicken, etc.) As for sauces I like Soy Sauce because it is so versatile. It can be used in alot of different things.

and once in a while....Fry Sauce...but only when i really want it...

[schnerk]

What is your favorite type of sauce?-Ex. BBQ sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey mustard, tarter sauce....? And what food do you like to eat with it?

Horseraddish or Wasabi... With Everything! :thumbsup2

[spookysarah]

I like different sauces with different things. Salad Cream with salads and fish (although every now and again with fries too, yum!), ketchup with fries, burgers etc and HP Sauce with fries and rice. My DD loves HP Sauce and will eat it with everything even fish?!? :confused3 :rotfl:

[mommytotwo]

What was your favorite nursery rhyme growing up?

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mary Had A Little Lamb

[spookysarah]

I honestly didn't have one. Anyone else?

[schnerk]

What was your favorite nursery rhyme growing up?

Hmmmm... I would have to say The Man from Nantuc... Oh wait, that was in college.

I think it would be Winken Blinken and Nod...

[mommaU4]

What was your favorite nursery rhyme growing up?

Good question. I have no idea. :confused3

[Kirby]

My favorite sauce would probably be cream gravy if you could call it a sauce.

I loved nursery rhymes as a child, used to read them all the time. The one that was probably was my favorite was one I learned to say in African English. My cousins lived there for a year and when they came back they taught it to me. It goes like this, I'll do my best to try and give you an idea of how the words sound, you will just have to imagine the accent.

Bah, bah, blaack sheeep,
Half you any vool?
Yay sir, yay sir,
Three sacka full.
Een for my masse,
Een for my dahm,
And een for my cakie sin
Who lib dawn the lawn.

Tell us about an embarrasing moment that happened to you.

[AlexWyattMommy]

My youngest was going on 3 years old.
He wasn't feeling well, so we took him to the doctor.
The doctor checked his ears and were pretty sure it was an ear infection.
The doctor wanted to check his lungs to see if spread.

So the doctor listens do the lung and heart check thing. Breath deep, hold it, let it go; while they move the stethescope around.
The doctor finishes and before he can open his mouth to say anything, little bit says,

"Don't you know where my heart is?!"

:rotfl2:

[BELLEDOZER]

Many years ago I was working as a security guard. One of the jobs was security for the Abbotsford air show. The long and short of it is that 2 of the security guards (including myself) ran into the rear wing of a CF-18 (a CDN military jet that was on display there for the airshow). With the colour of the jet, and the time of night, the back wing blended in with the night, and you couldn't see it was there. Safe to say it was my most embarrasing moment, and the jet got 2 "kills" that night.:rotfl2: :hyper2:

[spookysarah]

Oh there is no way you can wait until July!
A 3 pound package is now winging its way to you. :teeth:

Oh my oh my oh my, I am in Hot Tamale heaven! Your ever so kind package arrived today and my DH my DDs and I have been tucking in already. Thanks you sooooooo much.

PS I'm on a mission to return the favour and will be hunting down a few treats for you at the weekend.
