Dog, after all of the watching my back and then this. Et tu, SD?

I have always loved cookbooks and to this day am always out for a new cookbook. Especially anything by Alton Brown.

And another thing, just because I am NOT in line for the men's line if Jenny Criag promotions, give a guy some slack.

Okay, rant over.

Berg, you'll note I wound up selecting Crash. But, if I came right out and said his name, folks would give me carp for picking on a newbie. I had to ease into it. You know I will have your back. I make a solemn pledge.

As for cookbooks, my brother has actually written one. . .and it's good! And I get them for presents at Christmas and on my birthdays. I do all the cooking 'round here, ya see? So, I was NOT talking smack about guys who buy cookbooks, just that they don't make the majority of the purchases. Just sadin'.

 

[FSUMARCHIEF]

Is this what you're talking about?

or this?

Cause I ain't hanging upside down like that other thing.

Blessings!

Okay, just so longs as we get that straight. That you got our backs.

And I get mine as gifts also, unless it's Alton Brown. Or the Frugal Gourmet. I buy Emeril for dre and #1S.

I love to cook as well, just so you'll know. I make a really mean chicken/pasta/proscutto ham/with lemon butter and white wine sauce and spinach with a goat cheese garnish. Ask Rhonda - it rocks hard!

I don't read much in cookbooks though. Like to make it up as I go.

Blessings!

And at the risk of posting too many times in a row (sorry utah) I thought I'd pass this along...Came in an email this afternoon. I don't usually forward these kinds of things cause I get a blue million of them, and though it is a tad bit cheesy - I though it was neat. And with all the love hugs and mushy stuff going on for the last couple of days, I thought it might be appropriate.


A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.

When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"

"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.

"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.

"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up."

The man gestured, and the gate began to open.

"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked.

"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog. After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

"Excuse me!" he called to the man. "Do you have any water?"

"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in."

"How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog.

"There should be a bowl by the pump."

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.

"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.

"This is Heaven," he answered.

"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was Heaven, too."

"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell."

"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"

"No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind."

Blessings!

You are an evil woman.

 

[GADISNEYGIRL]

Anyone heard from Tink recently?

 

[drebert]

You are an evil woman.

Love ya honey!


Just trying to give you more fodder I mean ummm material wherewith to preach.

 

[GADISNEYGIRL]

For any and all tea drinkers we have... Stash Chocolate Hazelnut. It's divine!! With a splash of cream and a sprinkling of sugar... it's almost like hot cocoa. Wesley loves it. (And it's decaf!) I love it too.

 

[UtahMama]

I only let it slip if it's QUALITY (vs. quantity, debatable) THAT would be considered "quality" (probably )


Nice side-o-cow!!!

MARK!! That picture still slays me. I just love the pose, the grin, and the SURPRISE of having it on my screen!!
Thanks for the laugh track...

 

[pongoperdigirl]

I talked to Tink on my lunch. Around 12:45 ish eastern.
The MIL walked in while we were on the phone.
SO they arrived.
They were heading to the hospital to see him.
I hope he gets to eat. Cause he is hungry.

 

[AshClan]

Have not spoken with Tink (Pongo, you are her buddy! Any word?), but just hung up with Horsey. She is on the Magical Express heading to the airport.

Voice of Horsey: "Boo Hoo"

Of course, she is not TOO said, as she will be back in a month!! She is heading out in a few hours, so they should (hopefully) beat the storm. Also, she said "Hi" to all. Mentioned needing to call Amy and Haley. So you guys may be hearing from her soon, assuming the airport isn't toooo much of a zoo.

 

[Master Gracie]

Hey guys, gotta run so this is a drive-by.

Just caught up and saw Tink's situation. Terribly sorry Monique. Jen and I will be praying for you and Dick.

If you get a chance to tonight, one or both of us will be there. If not, it is totally understandable.

Hey MG ~ I regularly freak my daughter out by saying that.

Except, I've got a problem with Ms. P's interpretation of "backwards." Notice, the only thing that is close backwards about that pronunciation is the last "rupus." And not even that, since it should actually be "repus." Otherwise, it is just saying the syllables in reverse order, but as they otherwise sound in the original word. Which means that the last two syllables "rupus" are out of place with the rest.

Just sayin.

Ah well. That is the language major in me coming to the front.

Stay off the caffeine Amy.

 

[GeorgiaAristocat]

And, upon further reflection. MG left an "L" out of the middle.

Amy -
No language major here, but that has ALWAYS bugged me! I've always been a stickler for detail and spelling though, so I think that falls in there.

Mark -
love the email, especially from one who's dog is her child. I can't imagine leaving him behind from anywhere - and my favorite stories from Sabbath School (it's like Sunday school, only we have church on Saturday) are the ones about there being animals in heaven.
