It takes a lot of html commands..Billie did some great “table” instruction threads. This is how I learned

It took me months to even try posting a graphic after she posted these..but I saved these threads and started practicing..It is addictive.
I found questioning the why of it got in the way..I just followed instructions.
I use old frames, copy and paste and just change them up with new backgrounds, widths...add and subtract a table here and there. Just copy and paste one of her examples and view it in preview to see how it works.

I’ll try later—at work right now. Boss puts up with a lot of shenanigans, but this might be pushing it! LOL

The new laptop I’m looking at is so smart it scares me! LOL

I saved that recipe and I'm gonna try it. I'll let you know if I succeed. I should be able to make it. And.... I’m gonna use some of my Falls Mills grits.

We used to have to drive up to Belvidere to get the grits at the mill. It was a nice trip in the fall since they had picnic tables beside the pond below the mill. The grits are ground using a water wheel so I guess you could call them a green industry. The Farmers Market about a quarter mile away on the other side of Flint River stocks them now so we save some gas.

The recipe I have used for years makes almost too much, but here ‘tis:

Cheese Grits Casserole

6 c. boiling water
1 1/2 c. quick grits

1 1/2 sticks butter
1 lb. velveeta cheese
2 t. lowry’s seasoned salt
3 dashes tabasco
3 well beaten eggs

The only change I would make in the previously posted recipe (#2347), would be to add a t. of Lowry’s seasoned salt. Gives it a really good flavor.

I’m going to have to try your Falls Mills grits, too. Thank you!

You guys have GOT to check this out! I pinged several to it, and I hope that is ok - (I have never done that before - as I stay clear of most political stuff. If I offended anybody - well, give me ten lashes with a wet noodle! LOL!

These guys are GREAT! (And wait til you hear the comments at the end!)

Your castle just looks perfect, like there should be friendly dragons hovering, perhaps a unicorn or some fairies in the edge of the forest, a wizard in residence, and maybe a princess claiming sanctuary. LOL

And NNB’s poem is perfect!
