Nobby's Gnomies... heading to WDW in April 2010

Can I come for dinner????



I saw that this morning.... I really thought they were exaggerating in the media. I work at a trauma hospital... it makes no sense to move a severe head trauma from Canada to New York unless they are STABLE!! There had to be a suitable facility closer to where she was injured.

I really hope that the move didn't contribute to her death...but with the air pressure changes I can't help but think it was not a wise decision

Paula

You are always welcome to dinner at my house...we're making the meal on Saturday and Phillip and I are very excited to try our hand at it LOL!!

He makes the best asparagus and I love my stuff shells!!

Hmmm...I think the Italian place at EPCOT can do much better than I can LOL

I have been so sad about Natasha Richardson all day .

Paula, I had to print off the blueberry recipe -- it looks delicious!

LL, will you PM me the chocolate torte also??? Pretty please!

Jen, those stuffed shells sound delicious. I have never attempted them because I always think it must be such a pain to stuff the cheese mixture into them.

I'm just laughing at myself now because I looked at our thread and saw we are on page 26. I thought, it seems like we have chatted more than that...then I remembered this is our second thread. DUH

 

[jenjolt]

the quote one was hard!! But I only missed one...the "pink shirt" one.... my brain registered Bella's missing "red" shirt first i forgot all about her and Renee's email at the beginning of Twilight DOH!! I don't remember about the movie (I've only seen it twice)...but I know that Alice said it in the book...that I should know, I've read it 8 times




OK here's my very favorite, easy, barely need to bake, church potluck dessert!!

Blueberry Bonanza

Crust
1 C graham cracker crumbs
1/4 C brown sugar
1/2 stick (1/4 c) melted butter

mix together with hands and pat firmly into 8x10 pan (you can use 9x11 but the dessert has less 'filling' per slice)
Bake crust in oven at 350F for 5 min then let cool to room temp

Topping:
1 C powdered sugar
8oz container thawed cool whip (lite works fiine too)
8oz softened cream cheese

blend with a mixer

add 1 tsp vanilla

blend well


Assembly:
Spread cream cheese mixture onto cooled crust
refridgerate til chilled and firm
Spread 1 can blueberry pie filling on top (can substitute cherry...but it's not as yummy LOL!!)

My Mummum used to make it for every covered dish at church...we NEVER got to take any home...everyone loved it....and still does (I always make 2: 1 to take and 1 to keep )

Paula

OOOH I like this recipe too!! And Prince Phillip is a huge Blueberry lover!!! So this will definitely be a keeper!

I found that the easiest way is to use jumbo shells instead of the manicotti shells....a whole lot easier to fill and you just scoop it in with a spoon LOL

CP, I can PM that to you no problem. I will probably do it over the weekend. I am so enthralled in Jodi Picoult's latest book. Her books make me want to be part of a book club so I can debate about the book!

Good idea! I will have to remember that!

Okay!

I wish you were part of our book club -- we have lots of fun!

Which book are you reading at the moment LL I forgot?? I ordered two of her books last night off of Amazon!

I am trying to move South. I'm telling you I was meant to be a Southern Belle. Marc told me last night that he doesn't want to move to Florida but is willing to consider another southern state.

I am reading her newest one, "Handle with Care." It is simply amazing and I want to debate it!

That is the one I ordered as soon as it gets here and I read it we will discuss (debate is such a non pleasant word to me LOL) it....although after reading the excerpts and reading reviews on it...I have already formed some opinions but I'm trying to keep a very open mind until I get my book!!

Yay!!! I can't wait until we can discuss it!!

Georgia! Pick Georgia!

I really want too. I keep telling him about Georgia. What would be better than going over to CP's house for game night? And yes, I'm inviting myself. I'll bring torte!

Way to go LL!! The deal with Blake and I is still the boat. We were watching a fishing show last night and he says, "So, if we move to Florida, we can do that all the time?" and I said, "YES! Heck, I'll even help buy you the boat!!"

Our inlaw venting yesterday led me to a nice discussion with Marc last night and I think he is finally seeing my side of things which is really nice. Of course if we do move it won't be for a few years but I'm all for it and he just nixed Florida, which I can live with. I told him I'd want to be within reasonable driving distance to Disney and he was all for it.

Invite yourself over anytime -- especially if you are coming armed with chocolate torte!

Good to know!

 

[ILuvCrush]

OK this cracks me up...I need to take a nap...it's taking very little to amuse me at this point

 

[Roxychica7]

Oh Paula, I LOVE it!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I love that, Paula!! They are so cute!! I just saw you posted some on your thread. You are on a roll today!!

I feel better after our in law talk yesterday too LL!
Glad you had a nice discussion with Marc!
