That’s a really ugly emoticon.
Not to mention in bad taste. Literally. Please don’t grace us with something like that in the future.

We’re not all teenagers who think that’s “humor.”

[Tax-chick]

Since it’s been brought up, I didn’t love it, either.

Howya, Face!

[Monkey Face]

Howdy!

A balmy 71 here at the moment, and almost time to close the doors and windows to keep the cool in and the heat out!

I took my friend’s mother out for a “jaunt” yesterday, and it was fun for her. That’s all she needs to know! LOL!

I was on my feet about three hours longer than I should have been, so I was in agony by the time I got home. I slept better than I thought I would, actually getting in an undisturbed seven hours before I woke up. Usually the longest stretch is two or three hours, so I knew I had had a DAY! :o]

How are things in your neck of the woods?

[Tax-chick]

Some family members are whiny!

I’m making a Plantain Dish for lunch - it’s like garlic mashed potatoes, only with plantains. I hope it’s good! Now I’m off to Google the fiber content of plantains.

[Tax-chick]

4 grams each, or 2 grams per serving of my 2-banana recipe.

[Monkey Face]

LOL!

My kids have all been fed and watered and are totally content doing absolutely nothing but looking smug.

I think plantains are like bananas. I think. Tell me what you learn!

[Tax-chick]

The plantain dish was delicious! 4 Points. I’ll put the other 3 servings in separate ziplock bags and eat them over the next few days. I have two more plantains, so I can make it again on the weekend, if they haven’t turned black by then.

We’d been discussing Caribbean cooking on the NC board, as we often do, and I got the urge for grilled plantains, so I put it on the shopping list. However, I didn’t put the number or kind, so instead of 2 black ones, Der Prinz got 4 yellow ones. And thanks to “Healthy Latin Cooking,” I got a tasty lunch!

[Monkey Face]

It sounds really good!
I have to go to the store in a while, but not just yet. I need to get a battery. A really SMALL battery!
But it will be at least an hour, maybe a little more.

Now you have made me hungry for a nice Venezuelan breakfast.

A nice areppa hot off the grill, some queso blanco and fried plantains all washed down with some fresh orange juice and very strong coffee.

Of course I would need to go to Miami to buy the cheese and cornmeal but I could use a break.

[Monkey Face]

Hello!

How are things? Did you bring Mr. Teddy home today?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Alas no.

Now they are saying Friday. :(

If they do not let him out soon I think he will go stir-crazy in there.

The incisions from the original surgery have healed up very well which is something that we are very grateful for.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

How are things with you?

[Tax-chick]

I can get all my Latin cooking supplies right here at the Wal-mart, except for platanos maduros, which I have to get at Harris Teeter (a “real” grocery store).

[Das Outsider]

Hi-ho, Undeads!

[darkangel82]

I don’t go to Wal-Mart much but 10 minutes there is better than a 2-hour trip to Miami.

[darkangel82]

hola

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

We are getting our first Super Wal*Mart. I am hoping that they realized that there is more to Latin cuisine then Mexico. I'm off back to the hospital. See ya later

My inner beach bunny is kicking up a fuss.

She didn't get her normal February week of sand and surf so she is miffed.

[darkangel82]

I like the beach but I haven’t been there since 2001. :(

[Das Outsider]

"Hola?" Is it still Cinco de Mayo?

Looks like I'll have to get the lighted festive sombrero out of the closet after all.
