October 11-18, 2008 Disney Magic Parrothead Pirates in Paradise Chapter 12

[tazgirl1981]

Hey everybody! Sorry to have left early and be so late getting on today. Trying to get things done...slowly but its going .

We have the new lease signed and we can start moving our boxes in Next month!!

I had Mike try on a couple things that I had gotten him for the cruise (his pirate outfit for one) and its a good thing I did...His Mickey Swim trunks that I bought on the Disney website...well its too big! I dont think I have time to get them fixed before time that we go...because usually I ask Mom to help take them in (but we wont have time before the cruise)....so He will just have to wear his plain black trunks

Cheesy Spinach and Bacon Dip

SERVES 32 , 4 cups
Ingredients

* 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained
* 1 lb Velveeta cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
* 4 ounces Philadelphia Cream cheese, cubed
* 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies, undrained
* 8 slices oscar mayer bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
* tortilla chips
* assorted fresh vegetables, cut up

Directions
Combine ingredients in microwaveable bowl.
Microwave on high 5 minutes or until Velveeta is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 3 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips and cut-up vegetables.
Variation: prepare using Velveeta Made with 2% Milk Reduced Fat Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product and Philadelphia Neufchatel Cheese, 1/3 Less Fat than Cream Cheese.

YUMMY!! I might have to try that one! I love spinach dip...sounds so good!

Michele- How is Kozmo doing today? Hopefully much better

Gail- I dont mind being called Michele And I dont mind seeing a million posts from you I often think about doing the same thing to get my posts up there before we go...hey we can do a questionaire to get to know everyone...so you wont feel so bad about being the only one posting tons of things about yourself

I will definantly have to try some SPAM at one time...especially sounds like good hurricane season type food Since we can keep it without it spoiling.

Allen- Thanks for letting us know about the gift baskets from Shirley...I will call her tomorrow then if that is what is best for her...I understand for her how it would be easier

After we signed the lease and went thru everything with him (he leaves to go back to his country on Wednesday) Then we went to Target and lunch...then once we got home I was so tired...So i took a little nap..Chris and Mike had to wake me up and then we came over here to DMIL'S house...DFIL left today for the NASCAR job..So we are over here getting ready to eat some dinner (Chicken and Rice) and Chicken Noodle Soup that My DMIL makes...the ONLY Chicken Noodle soup that I like...Real chicken and so YUMMY!

How is everyone doing today...I will get better at posting more like I usually do...but its hard trying to get my stuff packed (for both events)...So I may not be AS GOOD about keeping up but I will try to post as much as I can

my friend and neighbor just brought me a birthday gift!! I thought you all would LOVE to see this! I am so tickled with it! I plan on leaving it out until I put up Christmas!!!

well, for whatever reason, it won't let me post the photo of it, but if you click on that link, it will show it to you!!! And what the photo doesn't show, is that the eyes and mouth are open. There is one of those little flickering candle lights inside! A Mickey Jack-o-lantern!

Oh wow. That is awesome. I so want one. And I don't even decorate for Halloween

Here is the response I got from Shirley about emails...... The way I read this, she would prefer phone calls over emails, especially at this time....

Hello Allen,
It is best to call the shop about 2 weeks before sailing simply due to a lot of reasons and that is first to "meet" them and to make sure if it is for children that the children do not have any type of medical or allergy problems and if it is for adults, their most favorite "stuff", what to put the "stuff" in etc.

Also since Johnny, the oldest son, had been in challenges, talking on the phone is so much better for me.

Hope you have a very blessed day.
Always
Shirley

OK thanx....

NOW could someone PLEASE PLEASE remind me on FRIDAY to make the call? Because I know I'll forget if I'm not reminded and that's the only day off I have this week from work.

Hi gang(sters)
Just finished dinner. We made a caramel apple crisp for desert since we brought home a million apples from the orchard yesterday. It is soooo good with vanilla ice cream. I'm foaming at the mouth just thinking about it.
Kristin, sorry, that's the recepi we sent you. I hadn't realised it was the microwave recepi. I must have misplaced the oven one. We made this one anyways and baked it in the oven but it's not as sweet as what we hoped for. Are you all listening to me? 6 cups of apples, 28 kraft caramels and 3/4 cup of brown sugar and it's not sweet enough!

I just found this recipe..... looks like a good one for our Halloween Bash. Enjoy!
