I was researching earlier and saw that one too. I'll try to post a pix if I really finish it this weekend. I got some brown fur stuff...but I can't really find yellow/brown fur. Can't wait to see what I do! As long as I don't mess something up and cut my material and then ruin it...I'll make it work. Just hope no one looks too close at it.

I did see some orange sweatshirts in the sporting goods area. Hunting season ya know.

I'm letting DGS use the 'puter for awhile now. Hope to be in chat for a bit.

Anyone want to share 1-2 of your favorite recipes (food, drinks) and we'll have a DIS geek cookbook?

Here it is folks, direct from the "Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook"

Chicken Pot Pie
4 to 5 lb. chicken, disjointed
4 or 5 large potatotes, whashed, pared, and cut in thick slices
3 large onions, cut in 1/2 inch slices
Salt
Pepper
Pastry (recipe below)
Water

Place a layer of chicken in the bottom of a large heavy kettle, cover with a layer of potatoes and then with slices of onion; season with a mixture of salt and pepper. Roll pastry out rather thick (about 1/4 in.) and cut into 2 in. squares; place on top of onions. COntinue layers ending with a layer of pastry squares on top. Add water to cover contents halfway; cover kettle tightly and cook over high heat just until boiling. REduce heat to low and cook until chicken is tender, 1/12 to 2 hours. 8 to 10 servings.

Pastry:
3 cups sifted flour
1 teasponn salt
1 cup lard or other shortening
5 tablespoons cold water

Mix with fork and roll out on floured surface and cut into squares.

I have not tried this in a crock pot but will this weekend. Last weekend I wimped out and baked one of those frozen imitation potpies with a pie crust on top. Good, but not pot pie.

It is cold and rainy here and we need some good comfort food.

My DD is also fifteen. Christa (my DD) and Devon (Kristina's DD) have been emailing a bit. Does Alex have her own email address? Christa was thrilled when Devon emailed her. I could introduce Christa to your daughter via the website if you would like.

Good luck with everything.

I believe he will be ok after 24 hrs. of the drops. I would wait and see how he feels and looks when it is time to go to the zoo. Good luck and I hope your little guy feels better soon.

I have not seen you around for a while.

We still have not made any decisions about tomorrow yet. DS's eyes have looked clear all day and he is taking the drops well. We will keep a close eye on him (no pun intended) and make our decision tomorrow morning.

Jill -

I am sorry Autumn is having such a rough time lately. Hopefully she will be feeling better real soon.

I am sure we can come up with something for a birthday.

Recipes - One of my favorites is Mexican Chicken Casserole

1 pkg. Chicken Tenders
Taco Flavored Doritos
1 lb. Mexican Velveeta
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 can Rotel
1 medium onion, chopped

Boil the chicken tenders until done and cut up chicken into bite sized pieces. Put chicken in bottom of 9x13 pan. Crush 1/2 pkg of Taco Doritos and put on top of chicken. Slice mexican velveeta and place over chicken and chips. In a blender mix soups, rotel and onion. Pour over cheese. Crush remaining Doritos and put on top of sauce. Bake at 350/375 for 45-60 minutes until done.

You can make this as mild or as hot as you want depending on what kind of Velveeta and Rotel you make. The blender sauce looks disgusting but this really is very yummy. Note: Not WW friendly!

Here is the Crockpot Soup I made tonight.

1 1/2 pounds of lean hamburger, browned
3 cups water
2 small onions, chopped
1 pkg. frozen stew veggies (or the fresh stuff if you have time to chop up carrots, potatoes, whatever veggies you want, etc.)
1 can diced tomatoes
3 beef boullion cubes
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour

Put hamburger, water, onions, stew veggies, tomatoes, boullion cubes, salt and pepper in crockpot. Cook on low 7-9 hours. Turn crockpot to high for 1 hour. Melt butter and mix in flour to get a roux. Mix roux into soup to thicken. Turn down heat on crockpot and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. Serve.

The kids are watching Charlie Brown's The Great Pumpkin right now. It is hard to believe that my kids are watching the same things I did as a kid. I think they said it was the 40th year for this show. The classics never get old. :
