[dumby]

Please, please post that recipe. I love easy, simple and delicious.

Lynn

Here you go.

Pecan Brittle

1 1/2 cups of Pecans slightly toasted (put them in the oven for 5 minutes or so)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup white syrup (I use Karo)
1 teaspoon of vanilla
2 tablespoons of butter
1 teaspoon soda

In large GLASS bowl mix pecans, sugar, and syrup.
Microwave on high 5 minutes
Remove and add Vanilla and Butter
Stir until butter is melted
Microwave on high another 5 minutes
Remove and mix in SODA WORKING REAL FAST.
It starts to harden very quickly.
Pour into a buttered pan (11x13 works good) as thin as possible
Cool and break into pieces.

You will love this and it is great for gift giving.

I'm 8 pages behind, so I need to go back and read. I need a little pixie dust tonight. My Dad drives a dump truck and was hit by a freight train earlier today.
I think that I need to write a song about this: "Grandpa Got Runover By a Freight Train" I'm sure that he would think that it was funny if the kids sang it to him.

I have to keep a positive outlook. Thanks for listening.

Deb

Deb,
Glad to hear that things are going good for now.

Our thoughs are with you

I'm 8 pages behind, so I need to go back and read. I need a little pixie dust tonight. My Dad drives a dump truck and was hit by a freight train earlier today. The details are sketchy, it appears that the train only hit the last foot of the truck. It is a blind intersection. He has absolutely no recollection of the accident. He remembers eating lunch then he remembers being in the ambulance. We don't think he lost consciousness as someone helped him get out of the truck which was rolled over on the drivers side. He apparently stood there looking at the truck and talking to 3 guys until the ambulance got there, but he doesn't remember any of it. They still have him in a neck brace as radiology hasn't cleared his neck yet and that is where he is having a lot of pain. He also has a small brain bleed. They said that it is the smallest you can have that would show up. They are keeping him overnight and will do another CAT scan in the morning. It appears he was very lucky. Hopefully tonight will go well. Best case scenerio he has severe whiplash. The freight train was 25 cars long and they were loaded with road salt. Dad was driving a 10 wheeler which was fully loaded with sand. The impact flipped the truck. It is probably a good thing that he can't remember. This happened sometime between 12:30 and 1 this afternoon. I got a call around 2 and have been at the hospital since. He is in good spirits now (I think the morphine helps) and has been talking and even laughing during the evening. The owner of the truck came in and they were cracking jokes for the whole visit. Hopefully the bleed won't get worse and all will be ok. We spent from 3 PM - 8 PM in the emergency room then he was moved to a room. I will go back up in the morning to check on him.

Santa Baby - Eartha Kitt
When Love Came Down - Point of Grace
All I want for Christmas is You - Vince Vance and the Valiants
All I want for Christmas is You - Mariah Carey
The Gift - Aselin Debison
Mary Did you Know
Breath of Heaven - Amy Grant
O Holy Night (a Great arrangement over Canon in D)
The Christmas Song

.... other ideas?

Well, I think you have picked some hard songs and also some I have NEVER heard of!!! What about:

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Silver Bells
White Christmas
Winter Wonderland
Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer

 

[julia & nicks mom]

Amy - I will have to agree with the you aren't very good with secrets camp!!

I don't think any of us are shocked - but we are all ecstatic!!

I see a whole new line of DDA maternity wear!!

This is our first DDA baby!!!

 

[bear74]

He had to hook it up to this "Tiger Tech" diagnostic tool they have, and then boot it from the CD via that tool/drive. THEN, he was able to "archive and install", which I knew we needed to do from the first place

So unfortunately (or fortunately?) it was nothing we could have done anyway.

So glad they were able to fix your computer.

[PNO4TE]

Silly! My best friend's second grader wants the baby to share his birthday...July 4th. And so the date squabbling begins!

I was really hoping Alyssa would arrive on 04/04/04, but she thought April 3rd was a better day.

Amy

Well congratulaitons to all four of you. Lucky baby to be so welcomed by all the DDAunts and DDSkunkas

I vote for July 10th... that is MY birthday!

Oh, Deb... I hope he continues to improve and comes home soon. How scary that had to have been for you to get that phone call. I am so sorry.

 

[ReAnSt]

I did a mapquest--you are about 2 hours away,
we should meet in Reading

Outlets!!!

Sorry to burst your bubble but the Reading Outlets don't exist anymore. The VF outlets do still exist though they are in West Reading/Wyomissing or could be considered Reading.


I'm so glad that everyone's computers are behaving again. Hopefully there will be no need for for a long time.

Brendita-Sending hugs and pixie dust your way. Just remember it will get better. You got the idea now stick to it. You are strong and will get through this.

I would start getting things in my own name know, credit cards, bank account, cell phone if you have one, etc. The more independent you make yourself before you actually move the better. It will prepare you for what is to come.

If I missed anyone I am sorry.

Now that would have been fun! Our anniversary is 06-05-04

I just finished making two batches of pecan brittle and it is sooo good. I am making some to give as gifts. It takes like 10 minutes in the microwave. I love the easy stuff.

how do you do it in the microwave.
My MIL used to make penut brittle every year and give it to their friends. especially my DH's god parents and their kids.
My DHwants us to continue this tradition now that his mom has passed away. so we will be attempting it this year.

 

[tink2020]

Now, do I want to continue watching the Eagles and hope they pull it out of their a**es and hopefully win or watch something mindless on another channel??

Yeah... this game is just sad.
