A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

Good Morning. What a great day. Just have to post a pic here at the Finest of Iraqi women waiting on line to vote.

It IS a great day! We are witness to something so monumental I can't even describe it. Gosh, there've been such *awesome* photos posted since yesterday! Thanks for posting one of them here!

"I *am* wondering about the expressions on Amy's and Lori's faces."

LOL

I'm not sure but I think we were wondering if there was anything there that any of us would eat. :)

I'm not crazy about fish but I took some salmon and Marissa loved it. The chicken was stuffed with goat cheese ... was not sure what to expect but it was very good. I was pleasantly surprised.

You don't like fish either?! The only way I will eat salmon is when *I* make salmon croquettes - with red sockeye salmon - not pink salmon. And I want them crispy outside with ketchup on top. (I'm not a ketchup lover either! It's only good on meatloaf and salmon croquettes - and SOMETIMES french fries!) LOL

I would have opted for the chicken and probably gotten rid of the goat cheese! :)

[JustAmy]

LOL

You would have been looking at Lori's plate with the same expression as Lori and I were wearing. Marissa just said "feed me!"

[Mama_Bear]

I admit, I *am* wondering about the expressions on Amy's and Lori's faces. :)

Well, I can tell you what's behind my expression - I am looking askance at my salmon and chicken stuffed with goat cheese, neither of which are high on my list of favorites. But, the garlic potatoes were marvelous, and basically what I ended up having for dinner that night. LOL

[Billie]

LOL! You two! Regional differences in cuisine, I guess. Bet they don't even know what good Mexican food is! :)

[Mama_Bear]

Bet they don't even know what good Mexican food is! :)

Actually, we did get some fairly good Mexican food (fajitas) in DC (actually in Chrystal City). Not as good as California's or Texas' Mexican food....but not half bad. Not anywhere near as bad as the stuff they claimed was Mexican food in Kansas City. LOL. No resemblance at all. I didn't try their Margaritas though. I just know they would not have been like what I am used to.

I am easy to please, as long as it is food that I like. ;-)

I did some hound dog work and finally found you" "Lori"...now I see your email. LOL!

My daughter and I want to do something special with a slide show maybe add music. Thanks so much.

For some insatiable reason, although I ended up with the flu after D.C., I can't keep away from this forum.

Now dinner time is here and the gang will be home soon; tired and hungry. My bad day cooking sometimes gets the same reaction as this photo.

Thanks again gracious lady.
