I'm not staying. Wanted to let you know NicknamedBob is over there on the dreaded undead thread.
Keep your nose to the grindstone.
You are in good company!
Don't get anything caught in the winder!
We miss you, PAL.
Hope you get caught up so you can spend some time with us.
Bundle up! :^)We're in for nice weather for a few days. Sometime Wednesday, we're getting a cool front and we in for the low 60's Thursday and the 50's Friday.
Thanksgiving Day weather looks like it is on the way .....
3 STOOGES! Yep that's about our speed here.
Where did that saying come from anyway?
**Hugs**
That recipe sounds good. My hubby loves eggplant parmesean and has not been having much luck making it.
Maybe I will surprise him and make it myself. Ummmm .... I hope he doesn't expect me to become the Italian cook in the family. :)
Thank you Amy. I've been veerry baaad. So now I'm trying to catch up! (BEWARE virgin Freepers, FReeping is habit forming!)
Be sure to tell your brother how much we appreciate his service and I hope he knows that there are many, many people who pray daily for our military in Iraq, and for their families here at home.
I can't imagine how difficult it must be for the families knowing their loved ones are going into harms way. God bless and comfort them
Good afternoon, Mayor. Thank you for our Daily Bread.
Hope your week is off to a great start.
*grin*
Guess what???
It is no longer too early! :)
LOL - I *am* the Italian cook (literally) in the family, but you'd never know it from some of the disasters that I've had.
We just got through eating and *this* time the eggplant turned out great.
One suggestion - if your oven runs hot, back down the temp to 400 and stay close by. The slices turn brown on the bottom faster than on the top.
Also, I flipped the slices over and put them back in for about 4 more minutes. The recipe doesn't call for doing that, but it worked out just fine.
(((((Amy)))))))
Thank you for your kind words. I'm trying not to cry (I'm sorry), but what can I say. I'll get better when the shock passes... He could have sat back - he's been to so many other countries already, but he volunteered for this particular mission and completely wants to go...
Thank God I have you guys because sometimes when I tell people, they flip it off and say stuff like "that's his job" or "he's an adult". Yes, of course, but that doesn't make it any easier on the families. I've been trying to help out the other troops and their families the last two years (my brother got back from Afghanistan about a year and a half ago), but now it's hitting home again. I have never known how wives can handle it.
Thank you so much Mama Bear - I will try not to snivel too much. I just hope my parents can handle this.
Thank you so much, Amy. I know you must be going through a bad time too, and for you to take time out of your day to cheer me up, that is remarkable.
I completely am blanking out if I already told you I am going to China Lake (Ridgecrest) December 2nd? My friend of 21 years is retiring from the Navy... Afraid we probably won't swing up north afterwards, but probably head back home through the Grand Canyon.
