But do you have bread, eggs, and milk?

Sounds like you're ready to go.

[Lil'freeper]

Masa ... check!

Anchos ... check!

Pork Loin Roast ... check!

Corn husks ... check!

New Years? Bring it on!

[Overtaxed]

Got eggs and milk....can make bread if needed.

*Sigh* I'll have to plant collards next fall.

[Overtaxed]

You risk financial disaster by not having collards and peas. :)

[Lil'freeper]

They don't 'go' with tamales.

Besides, Big'ol will eat neither collards nor black-eyes. So far so good.

[Overtaxed]

Welll.....just do some refried black-eyed peas and roll them up in a collard wrapper...

[Lil'freeper]

Yeeeech. No thanks.

[Overtaxed]

...a dash of Tabasco sauce....

[Lil'freeper]

Tabasco....

that changes everything.

[osagebowman]

Lamb--check

Cashews--check

Cilantro--check

Pickeled Watermelon Rind--check

Balsamic Rice-check

Guiness--check

[Overtaxed]

Heh...kewl!

Need to go out, turn the compost pile, and rake up some leaves now.

Sounds like you're makin' something really tasty! I assume the cilatro, cashews and lamb go together somehow?

We're home from lunch, with some possibly good news... had a message on our answering machine from my recruiter. Apparently the contract job that I've been waiting to hear about is now moving forward, and he wanted to check on my availability. Since my recruiter has been out since Tuesday of this week and was calling me from wherever he is on vacation, I'm guessing that means they want me to start next week.

Also, Rose has a second interview for one of the jobs she applied to, next Thursday.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Thanks for the congratulations! :)

[RosieCotton]

Hey, that sounds great! Which job does Rose have a second interview for?

I'm still hoping I have good news to announce on Tuesday sometime! ;-) Starting a new job is always a little nervewracking, but it beats the alternative!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Which job does Rose have a second interview for?

It's this job here, the Database Administrator position with the Governor's Office. This will be the second round of interviews with the final 2 or 3 persons, after which they'll make their choice presumably. We're thinking they may want to get someone into the position by the end of January, perhaps as early as Jan. 15. (hope, hope, hope...)

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

And yes, we're hoping you get some good news on your job situation soon, too! ;)

[RosieCotton]

It'd be really nifty if we all got started at about the same time, wouldn't it? Woo-hoo!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

That would be great! BTW, Rose was looking at some of the job listing sites that she uses, and said that a lot of new job listings appeared today. It was quiet earlier in the week, but I suspect a lot of places are looking to hire with the start of the new year....
