We are all lucky to have each other. There are some very lovely people who frequent this site!! Gals and guys too! The guys are so busy during the day they just don’t have time to get on here until the evening.

[jaycee]

Hi Dita! :)
I missed you again! I left to finish making tacos. ;)

Booboo is off starting Wednesday. This time of year is fun! I think Booboo will try doing some baking for Christmas. We’ll let you know how it turns out. ;)
HUGS!

Gee Bee, Well, I went to the market with every intention of buying a turkey breast. The cheapest one was $16.00. So, I went to the freezer to check on whole turkeys - and found one for $4.50. Guess which one I bought? Anybody here like dark meat?

Please! I don't want to know....I can't even guess, Okay?!!:)

[La Enchiladita]

LOL!! By the time you came back from taco-making, I was way down the road:-).

Mmmmm, tacos. Sounds good.

[La Enchiladita]

I like dark meat just fine. You better fire up that fax machine!! :-)

It’s very delicious, and nutritious, too. Somewhat. Smirk. Very easy to fix and it looks so elegant. It’s just like making a jellyroll.

Pumpkin Roll

4 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup flour
1/2 can of pumpkin—small can
Mix all together and pour into greased jellyroll pan. 15x10x1 Bake at 375 for @ 15 mins. Dust kitchen towel liberally with conf. sugar. Turn cake out onto kitchen towel, roll up from the short end. Leave it until cool.

Filling
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups conf. sugar

Mix together. Unroll cake and spread filling evenly. I leave about an inch clear around the edges. Roll the cake back up. This is much better if you make it a day ahead and refrigerate overnight!

This is always a great hit, but I usually only make it once or twice a year. It is rich. Some people separate the eggs/egg whites. Seems like a lot of trouble to me. I like it thick—it’s more like pumpkin pie that way. Enjoy!

Since the recipe calls for odd amounts of pumpkin and cream cheese, I usually make two at a time—one for us and one for someone else!

I Meant To Do My Work Today

I meant to do my work today, But a brown bird sang in the apple tree, And a butterfly flitted across the field, And all the leaves were calling me. And the wind went sighing over the land, Tossing the grasses to and fro, And a rainbow held out its shining hand-- So what could I do but laugh and go? Devorah Seidenfeld

I wondered where you have been all day. I was hoping you were not feeling bad. I’m tired by now.

[Lady Jag]

Felt good today so went out and took care of a bunch of things It was a pretty day and all went well.

Had to drag myself out this morning and checked in to let everyone know I’m still kickin.

I hope you had a good Monday.

Hi, Gee Bee! Well, I lied. Not that I intended to, mind you. I went to the market to buy a turkey breast - and the least expensive one was $16.00! So, I went to the freezer section where whole turkeys were on display. I ended up buying a ten pound turkey for $4.50! (And, I’ll make soup out of the dark meat!)

Then, pecan pies and minced meat pies were on sale for $4.99 each. Now, pecans, and minced meat in a jar would cost WAY over that, so I bought them, and with the $10.00 coupon (that I cut out of the paper), I got them for FREE!

I’ll go to sleep with a smile tonight - I just love a good buy!

An Invitation

“If you are a dreamer, come in.
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer . . .
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire.
For we have some flax golden tales to spin.
Come in! Come in!”
