What's with that? BA will only eat the character shapes. She says the regular one doesn't taste right.

Eh! It's all how long it's cooked I guess. Plus character ones are fun!

Here's my latest question... Photo Pass, yes or no? Talk amongst yourselves....

I say yes and try to get as many pics taken as possible. I loved it!

Okay now as I don't know how to multi quote( The Whiz) Jo I left England in September 1971, so it must have been pre pickled onion munch days!! I would take marmite in a squeeze tube , but here I've only seen it in the jars. I never have to worry about anyone else eating it ,they run when I get it out in case I make them smell it!! I think I'm done with Xmas shopping I just picked up a prepaid credit card for DD so she can buy her own clothes from wherever she wants. Picked up the food for breakfast Xmas morning and we all decided on Beef on Weck or unweck for supper , along with potatoe casserole and blue cheese salad. All our favoritesw and not a lot of work. Dessert will be cookies. I got a free turkey from work which we will have for New Year. Still looking for the Group Focker Leader. Probably from Buffalo/ West Seneca area

 

[KatGarcia]

Kat your cookies and cakes look delicious and what a bummer about the cheese and meat plates I hope you're going to complain!!!!

I found out I can return the stuff if its unopened! Thanks goodness. So I ran out just now and got an alternate gift for the in-laws and I'm going to hope for shipment of the stuff tomorrow or xmas eve and if not i'll figure something out! Food was the easiest thing since they are all very hard to buy for! I'm bummed we may not have them for Christmas eve either because thats a KC & me tradition, but what can you do, it's only the mail!

I'm off to shower so I don't look like heck when company gets here!

 

[cmp1111]

Hope you get it sorted and well done on the snow blowing

Thanks. They did have school this morning and had their party and the sing-a-long. I got out and got the stuffies this morning. I got the new modem this afternoon, which, although it should have been super easy to swap out, of course took an hour to get everything back right.

Well I made the honeycomb but I only had Baking powder instead of Baking soda and obviously it mattered as my honeycomb is as flat as a pancake, whoops

Oh, well - more to eat yourself!

Good morning, everyone!
What's up with everyone today?
I need to grocery shop, and clean house mostly. I have a few quick errands to run too. My family comes over tomorrow afternoon for Christmas. That's sure to be full of my SIL yelling at my nephew constantly and my dog jumping on everyone utnil I have to put him in the crate. Then he'll whine... good times.
I should have time to catch up around here today too.

I hope your visit goes well. I didn't do that much after picking the boys up from school, but I didn't get on the computer, either.

Uh........so Buzz is at your house........and sleeping in apparently!

Yeah, the other Buzz...

This is actually good for me---cause she can unwrap the coat (and try it on), get the $25 gift card, and then we can go shopping after Christmas!

Nice score!

Hey everyone here is the picture Jimmy's class took with Santa on Wednesday. Don't they all looked so thrilled to be there

OK, that is cracking me up. Did they tell the kids NOT to smile?

I've gone online though and managed to find another company that will do it for $10 less than I wanted to pay It's not supporting the local business but hey ho it's done oh and I've found a 55 off voucher too so that's saved me a bit more

Nice, work, as well!

I know! I was a really bad teenager - I used to take my Dad's car and go joy riding - it's amazing I survived those years. I think I've done it all and therefore consider myself one step ahead of her.

My dad had "lived a little" in high school and college - my mom was the classic good girl. My dad was much harsher, having some idea of what kids could do, I think!

Speaking of cookies.... Here's the stuff so far... I have more to bake today and tomorrow (little by little).

Drool... Looks great!

Here's my latest question... Photo Pass, yes or no? Talk amongst yourselves....

We got a card but barely saw any opportunities, and didn't order anything. I don't know where LL and DM see them all the time! I was very glad I didn't preorder.

I'm off to shower so I don't look like heck when company gets here!

I'm not the only one, see! Have fun, Kat!

Glad you got your bear and nothing is ever easy have you not learnt that yet?

You can still get a refund on the preorder

I'm not the only one, see! Have fun, Kat!

We're obviously a clean bunch around here

I was wondering where you were CE

Hello, my friend!

I kind of forgot that we have a Christmas open house to attend tomorrow afternoon. But, I officially think I'm done shopping. Pshew!

We're having our regular Friday night "pizza and a movie" and the boys think they've agreed on HSM again. But, they get to pick, so... D will be thrilled!

 

[KatGarcia]

OK so I'm in need or a mini rant! I just got off the phone with Magical Express because when I tried to sign up for it for our departure (the part of the vacation where we rented the DVC points) and they wouldn't let me sign up?! So I called and the woman said she saw me in the system but she can't import the reservation so I had to call WDW Travel. So I did and they told me NO i have to call DVC which I was already told I can't do because it's not my DVC membership! I am stressing out about this! I just want the ressies done and no more worries and I already emailed the DVC people and have yet to hear from them about adding DDP to the ressie for us!!!! Is the cut off 2 weeks prior to the ressie, or did I hear that wrong? So frustrated! And on top of all that we got our ME tags for the arrival and now the flight # is changed so they have to re-send them out to me! URGH! I also found out since thee is a P&PP on the day of our arrival that Wishes had a change in time, which means I need to change my ressie- and I can't get an earlier one! I really wanted to surprise everyone with Wishes during dinner. I guess we will watch it from the beach then go up and eat dinner. Oh well. Anyways thank you for reading/listening no one else will understand this stress!

Ok since this week has been so freakishly busy I missed out on all the DIS fun. Did a quick skim of the posts (it would be too hard to multi quote 12 pages) and hope everyone is doing fine and enjoying their holidays!

So Hi Limeys! and Buzz apparently

My nephew made me a myspace page - so I've been playing over there alot lately!

ME TOO!!!! I've avoided it forever and finally gave in and now I'm a little addicted. I'm gonna copy DM and put my link in my siggie so if anyone else has a MySpace I'll be happy to be your friend!

Good afternoon fockers!

speaking of cookies.... Here's the stuff so far... I have more to bake today and tomorrow (little by little).

WOW!!! that is impressive and now I want a reindeer cookie.

Hey guys... I'm hoping to catch up and chat later. I'm reading a TR that's almost done for last bits of info before we leave.

Here's my latest question... Photo Pass, yes or no? Talk amongst yourselves....

I say yes, but only if you hunt down all those PhotoPass photographers. The pictures are definately worth it though, their cameras can get nicer pics than regular cameras. Plus when you order it, you can add cute borders and character signatures and icons and stuff. I think if you preorder it it's a little bit cheaper too.

Ok, off to get ready for work!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Chocolate Biscotti with white chocolate chips & drizzle

OMG! I need that recipe, Kat!

Sugar Cookie Reindeer

Cute!

Here's my latest question... Photo Pass, yes or no? Talk amongst yourselves.... [/SIZE]

YES! And make sure you get lots and lots of photos! So worth it! :

We're having our regular Friday night "pizza and a movie" and the boys think they've agreed on HSM again. But, they get to pick, so... D will be thrilled!

Do your boys really enjoy HSM? Maddie hasn't seen it, as I wasn't sure she'd be able to follow it.

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Z, your link doesn't work.

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Z, your link doesn't work.

Darn, I'll have to fix it tomorrow.

 

[cmp1111]

Yes, they love it. They pretend to be "Troid" and Chad and sing all the songs. They don't always understand why they're mad at each other, but...

Thanks for your votes. I went ahead and ordered it just now.

Ok - for those wondering here's the link to my myspace page. Don't listen to the song "Shoes" - it's lame! My Dneph put it up because of my shoe fetish!

[KatGarcia]

OMG! I need that recipe, Kat!

The world's easiest recipe that no one will know as this easy...
(I got it from a dis thread too!)

Biscotti *with variations*

1 box dry cake mix (your choice of flavor-mine was Devils Food Cake)
1 cup all purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 stick melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (OR substitute about ½ - 1 teaspoon of a flavored extract, optional)
(Optional) Add ¾ cup total of: chopped nuts, fruit or chocolate pieces, etc.

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Pour your cake mix and flour into the bowl. Add the eggs, butter and vanilla. Mix on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in nuts, fruit or chocolate if desired. This dough will be very stiff but will not stick to the bowl when properly mixed.

The consistency will be like children’s play dough. Divide dough into two halves. With your hands, shape each half of dough into an 8-inch log. Place each log on a lined baking sheet and flatten them into rectangular loaves about 2 1/2 inches wide. The loaves need to be 2 to 3 inches apart on the pan.

Place the pan in the oven. Bake until the biscotti loaves are almost done but still soft, 18 to 20 minutes. Make sure you watch the baking time because, if you don't, they can get dry and hard to cut if you let them bake the first time too long. It’s the second baking that will make them crunchy.

Remove the pan from the oven and let the loaves cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer them with a metal spatula to a cutting board and cut with a bread knife into 3/4-inch slices.
TIP: To cut, use the longest chef knife you have and put the tip in one side and press down swiftly (keeping all fingers in sight!) and it should work. Also try warming the knife before cutting.

Turn the slices cut side down on the baking pan and return the pan to the oven to bake 8 to 10 minutes longer, or until crisp.

Remove the pan from the oven, and transfer the biscotti to wire racks to cool, 20 minutes.

You may serve them as is, or dust them with confectioners' sugar (place the sugar in a large zipper-lock bag, add a few biscotti at a time, shake, then remove). Or you may dip an end of each biscotti into melted chocolate, or drizzle melted chocolate over the tops of biscotti.


Makes 3 to 4 dozen. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container.

Hi CE

Hope it gets sorted Kat

Hi Z have a great Christmas

Do your boys really enjoy HSM? Maddie hasn't seen it, as I wasn't sure she'd be able to follow it.

I'm sure Maddie would love all the singing and dancing

Yes, they love it. They pretend to be "Troid" and Chad and sing all the songs. They don't always understand why they're mad at each other, but...
