I am on pins and needles.

[bk]

Then I decided that the only thing to do was tuna sandwiches. Of course, they didn't have the onion rolls I like. What else is new? So, tuna 3.99, pack of six onion bagels 3.69. So far, so good. I then got a small think of cream cheese for 5.49. Total: app. 12.70 and just under 14 with tax. When I checked out, we put in my rewards number and I got five bucks off. So nine bucks for the food and five in my pocket.

[bk]

At seven, I'll prepare the tuna pasta salad and at eight I'll begin slicing and dicing.

[Jane]

The recipe called for three cloves of garlic. These cloves are almost as large as Brazil nuts. It will be garlicky.

For me, Brazil nuts are worse than Hazelnuts.

Love them in limited amounts

I have eaten enough hazelnuts to develope a bit of desensitation to them, and to also know I really don't care for the taste.  I rarely see Brazil nuts in anything except mixed nuts that I simply avoid them, and really have no clue if I like the taste or not.  My friend from Brazil says they are not called Brazil nuts.  I forgot what he said their name is, something I should remember when traveling.

A friend of mine, who is a few years older than me, said that when he was growing up, Brazil nuts were called "N-word" toes!

Yes. My dad used to call them that. We ganged up on him and told him never to use that term in our presence. He complied.

My dad called them that, too.  That's what he always heard folks call them when he was growing up.  My mom explained to me why it was wrong, and they were always Brazil nuts to me after that.

My father had a childhood friend who used words to describe different groups of people I found inappropriate, to put it kindly.  I once asked my father why the friend used those words and his response was that his friend had heard them growing up and didn't think about it.  Yet they were never words I heard my father use.

That sounds like a nice tasty combination MR BK.

Where do I find kitty clothes for Christmas?

[Laura]

Good evening and Happy New Year

[Laura]

We used to do a fun soup and games night on New Year's Eve at church. The thinking is that you'd use the bones from your Christmas turkey, ham, or roast to make soup.

[Laura]

This year's New Year's Eve soup party will be held on January 7.

[Laura]

I'm not terribly enthused about that. I may or may not attend.

[Laura]

I'll enjoy my leftover Christmas eggnog and some cheese and crackers this evening and then go to bed. Some neighbors behind us have always been very obnoxious about fireworks. But I didn't hear any last July 4. I'm hoping it's one of the houses that recently sold.

[Jane]

Good luck the neighbors are quiet tonight.

[Jane]

I'm not terribly enthused about that. I may or may not attend.

The 7th is a bit anticlimactic.

[Ron Pulliam]

It's a bit odd being three hours later here than it is on the left coast.

Here, we have just finished the Merengue, and we are so tired!

I may have one round of the Bunny Hop left in me so long as it happens later.

[Ron Pulliam]

Jon Cryer has a new sit com starting up in January.

And he has completely shaved his head.  I am not amused.

I have never been amused by Mr. Cryer.  How he won Emmys for his blatant hamming on "Two and Half Men" is beyond me.

[Freddie]

Nice link DR FREDDIE.

Thanks, Jrand!

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

[Freddie]

Good evening and Happy New Year

Happy new year, Laura!

[Jeanne]

So bk is watching ROPE. A fine film. I know that Jrand would not miss the name of the camera man. 😉

[Jeanne]

Happy New Year and Happy New Year’s Eve to all.

[Jrand74]

Ah DR FREDDIE do you mean Mr. Valentine?

[Jrand74]

I am listening to some Beatles Cd's to welcome in the new year.

It is a collection of their first four US releases.....in mono and stereo.

Of course we first had them in MONO.....so it is nice to hear them in STEREOPHONIC SOUND......as Mr Fred Astaire & Ms. Janis Paige sang.

[Jrand74]

It is very quiet in my neighborhood still.

[Jrand74]

I talked to my friend Jerry who reported that a dear friend passed away.....and we are both realizing that at our age.....it is a thing devoutly to be accepted.....or expected.

[Jrand74]

I can't imagine that I am 73 years old......more behind me than ahead of me.

But so much more I want to do....and accomplish.....I guess I'll just keep moving along.....

[Jeanne]

Bbl.

[Jrand74]

DR LAURA January 7 is NOT New Year's Eve and I hope you convey our consternation to the committee.

[Jrand74]

MR BK must be chopping and boiling.

[Freddie]

Ah DR FREDDIE do you mean Mr. Valentine?

If you mean the song, the show it's from isn't based on a true story.

I am very sorry for the loss of your dear friend
