TOD: Today I am fondly remembering my daughter's teenage years when we ran away from home a few days before Christmas -- sometimes to Las Vegas and sometimes to Los Angeles. Usually we saw Forever Plaid, and after it was written, Plaid Tidings. It was good to get all the work done ahead of time so I could escape for a few days.

Laura · « **Reply #62 on:** December 24, 2012, 01:17:49 PM »

My favorite songs from Plaid Tidings: Smudge singing "Merry Christmas" and "Let it Snow."

Isn't DR Sandra still a teenager?

Back from buying two gift cards for the youngsters. It's rainy out - drizzly really. But one simply doesn't want to be out the day before Christmas because drivers and people in general are INSANE. One more little outing to the mail place and I'll be ensconced in the home environment.

I'm at my sister's, after having gone to Fred Meyer for a couple of things...it really was a madhouse! It took me almost 10 minutes to find a parking place! I hate it when it's like that. Fortunately, it's rarely like that. In a little bit, we'll be going to our parents' house for our gift exchanging.

Went to the mail place and picked up several packages, including my mint first edition of Atlas Shrugged and the envelope - did some banking and now I'm home for the duration. Mushrooms, garlic and onions are cooking right now and then the magic begins.

Darn, I was hoping DR Laura was here so I could ask her about a strange bird in our pond. It is larger than a Robin & kind of puffy with long legs. It floats on the water like a duck and dives for fish, in fact it caught a little fish.

Jane · « **Reply #73 on:** December 24, 2012, 02:57:03 PM »

We have an American Dipper aka Water Ouzel. I've been having fun watching it dive. When standing on the rocks it appears to be dancing/bouncing to music.

Jane · « **Reply #74 on:** December 24, 2012, 03:00:00 PM »

I was not able to get a photo of it, took this off of the internet.

Merry Christmas Eve all! I hope everyone is doing well.

Before you ask, no, the house is not done. Nothing has even been started--not the kitchen, not the laundry room. I posted on the ACLive board today and I hope I sounded ok.

I had a wonderful trip to Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving and I finely got see snow! Well, just a snow flurry and I didn't get a chance to play with it because it started on the way to the airport. I did get to touch it and I saw it from the window of the plane. I also had my first flight that had to be deiced. I don't think I like that very much. That was scary.

I hope everyone has a wonderful evening!

I need cooking advice please

I bought a very nice bonelss rib roast for dinner tomorrow I have seen varied recipes

sear it on all sides and then cook it at 250 for hours -- put it in the oven at 500 for 20 minutes then turn off the oven and let it sit for 2 hours without opening the oven , cook it at 350 for 20 minutes a pound....

what do our experts think?

From DR TCB:

Quote

Interesting story of a teacher near Middletown, Ohio, who was fired for staging "Legally Blonde: The Musical."

Odd if Grease was ok that this wasn't. They might had simply requested to see the scripts from now on to say what was ok & what wasn't.

I tried to do two weeks grocery shopping at once last week in order to avoid supermarkets just before Christmas. As so often happens, I think I'm stocking up, only to find that I go through things more quickly than I expected. I made a second grocery run last week and stocked up again, so no need to be out there in the insanity.

Jane · « **Reply #81 on:** December 24, 2012, 03:16:57 PM »

Hi DR Danise, it is great to see you. I'm sorry about the house but very glad you had a good time in Pittsburgh & actually saw snow flurries.

Do you have a lot of repeat clients?

Jane · « **Reply #83 on:** December 24, 2012, 03:18:29 PM »

DR TCB tofu takes on a lot of the flavor of what it is cooked in so yes, it tastes different cooked. I also prefer the texture to it once it has been grilled or fried.

Jeanne · « **Reply #84 on:** December 24, 2012, 03:18:33 PM »

Today I needed to do some laundry, pay a bill, and a couple other things. That is done now. One phone call left to make and I'm done.

Jeanne · « **Reply #85 on:** December 24, 2012, 03:19:42 PM »

Ron, your TV escapades seem rather daunting to me. Your mother is lucky to have a son who is so tech-savvy. The machine alone wouldn't do her much good.

I arrived safely and soundly in Buffalo on Saturday. I did a lot of shopping for my 7 year old great- niece and newborn great-nephew. Just about everyone else is getting gift cards.

Glad to hear you have arrived safely. Shopping locally is easier than traveling with gifts, unless you live in Oregon where there isn't sales tax and drive to your location

Now, to start the baptist cakes.

DR John G often mentions dishes I've never heard of.

BTW, I really like the cover of your book!
