Comments (85)Christan, I'm with you. Those tastykakes are might tasty, all of them! After Linda got to talking so much about them last spring, I ordered a box of them to try out, and I've been wishing there was an outlet here in Michigan ever since. Now, this is for all of you who knew me last year. Tomorrow, November 30th, is the 1st anniversary of the accident which took Paula away from me. It's been an extremely rough year, but you've all been a great help in getting me through it all. You've put up with a lot, encouraging me and providing some big shoulders to lean on the whole way. The Day started looming in my mind even more a little over a month ago, driving me to distraction and a lot of mood swings, as Linda can attest to. I was thinking that I'd be a complete basket-case by this time, but I'm doing okay. I've been listening to a lot of music today, wrapping Christmas gifts, making out cards for Kym's Secret Santa Seed Swap, and just generally quietly enjoying the day. Anyway, knowing all of you wonderful people and how much you care, I just wanted to let you know I'm okay. It's kind of funny, in an ironic sort of way, that the one song that's helped the most today is by Savage Garden. Savage Garden also did the song "Truly Madly Deeply", which was the theme song for Paula and myself. I guess it's kind of fitting that today I find myself turning to the same group, and their song "Crash and Burn". It says a lot about the friendships I've found here in the threads of the GW, and about the relationship I was lucky enough to have with Paula. here are the lyrics... "Crash And Burn" When you feel all alone And the world has turned its back on you Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone When you feel all alone And a loyal friend is hard to find You're caught in a one way street With the monsters in your head When hopes and dreams are far away and You feel like you can't face the day Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone 'Cause there has always been heartache and pain And when it's over you'll breathe again You'll breath again When you feel all alone And the world has turned its back on you Give me a moment please To tame your wild wild heart Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone Everyone Have A Good Week Peace. -Dan...See MoreWhat's For Dinner? - #253
Comments (100)Beanthere, here is the recipe that Monique posted over on Gardenbuddies. Monique's picture accompanying the recipe is definitely magazine cover worthy. On-the-go lemon loaf with pistachios Flecks of green pistachios make this luscious lemon loaf even more appealing. The sweet-tart lemon glaze helps keep the bread incredibly moist. 220 calories Preparation time 15 minutes Baking Time 55 minutes Makes 16 slices 1-3/4 cups (425 mL) all-purpose flour 1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt 1 lemon 1 cup (250 mL) coarsely chopped shelled pistachios 1/2 cup (125 mL) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1-1/4 cups (300 mL) granulated sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla 2/3 cup (150 mL) milk 1.Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Lightly oil or spray a 9x5-inch (2-L) loaf pan. In a medium-size bowl, using a fork, stir flour with baking powder and salt. Grate peel from lemon, then stir in. Coarsely chop nuts. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter until smooth. Gradually beat in 1 cup (250 mL) sugar until well mixed, 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, vanilla and milk. Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour mixture until batter is moist. Stir in nuts. Do not overmix. Scrape batter into prepared loaf pan. Smooth top. 2.Bake in centre of preheated 350F (180C) oven until deep golden brown and a cake tester or skewer inserted into centre of loaf comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Meanwhile, squeeze 3 tbsp (45 mL) juice from lemon into a small bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup (50 mL) sugar. It won't completely dissolve. When loaf is baked, remove pan to a rack. Using a cake tester or skewer, immediately poke several holes in top of loaf. Brush or drizzle half of lemon glaze over hot loaf. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then run a knife around inside of pan to loosen loaf. Carefully turn out loaf, then turn top side up on a rack. Evenly brush or drizzle remaining lemon glaze overtop. Great warm or at room temperature. Or cool completely, then wrap in plastic, then foil. Bread will keep well at room temperature 1 day or refrigerate up to a week or freeze up to 2 months. Packed To Go Slice bread, then place on a plastic tray and wrap in plastic. Or store in a covered container. Courtesy of Chatelaine magazine . *****My notes.. I wrapped this bread quite tightly almost as soon as it was cooled..This morning it was as moist as can be..and lemony luscious.I added some lemon juice to the batter also as I love the taste of lemons.

Comments (14)Luvs, it's been a while since I thought about "child proofing" my house, but with a new niece coming in Feb I have been looking at things more carefully. Guess you will have to do the same! He is a little stinker! lol Have to start calling him Piro! I have a few friends who use the Peapod grocery delivery and love it. We don't have it here yet or I would consider it especially in winter!! Unfortunately I have not had time to paint yet. I have a few ideas of some things I want to get done, but no time to work on any of them yet. Hope to get working on them this week, but I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year so probably not gonna get anything significant done til after that holiday. I want to do the 12 days of Christmas, but so far no family has stood out to me that I know. Still thinking on it. Was thinking about finding some little platters at the $1 store and attaching a little poem "When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang out of my bed and tripped over this platter" for my neighbor gifts. Most people can use an extra tray or platter for goodies during the season. Will maybe make some goodies to go on the platter and maybe add "So I filled it with goodies in hopes it makes your season gladder"?? I don't know...kinda sounds cheesy! lol Still thinking about it. Also thought about making "snowball" cookies and putting them in a pail or something painted with a snowman head?? Oh actually I just remembered I bought some small snowman head cookie jars on clearance last year so that would be perfect!! Woot! Thanks for helping me brainstorm! lol I am running out of time, but I seem to work better under pressure! ha Well, just wanted to check in with you ladies. I promised I'd do better and I'm sincerely trying to get here a few times a week! I have to do my Thanksgiving shopping on Monday but perhaps I'll be back here on Tues. Talk to y'all then. ~Anj...See MoreWhat is Your Latest Baking or Cooking?
Comments (43)Nicole, chili soup does not have water in it, it has either tomato juice or V-8 juice, diced tomatoes, onions, sweet or hot peppers, hamburger, a very flavorful chili bean like Bush's Chili Magic, chili pepper, can put in cumin, red beans, and let simmer with some cooked pasta such as cut spaghetti or elbow macaroni simmering in with it. Of course salt and pepper. Not so much pasta as it would be way too thick unless you like it that way, but then it isn't really soup. Sue...See MoreOlychick
