Want to post your FUDGE recipe? I'm sure you'd be glad knowing it'll be on our Thanksgiving menu.

Of course, it'd be lightened by me as I've had to watch what I eat, unless of course it's already light.
I'm making turkey with lots of garlic and herbs, doesn't need any salt that way but I use about 1/4 in sea salt anyway.

Hey, time for sharing some favorite recipes you'll be making soon?

have a great weekend,
Bea

Since I'm also in another big swap, it would probably be best if you look at my exchange page if you're sending me anything, since I'll probably be fiddling with it a bit in the next week or so.

Parsley Root
Parsnip - especially a short variety
Peppers - something from the species C. baccatum or C. pubescens

Turnip - any heirloom variety, mild tasting ones preferred
Sorrel
Squash - Tromboncino

As you can probably see, my passion is heirloom vegetables, and if you have a really awesome heirloom you'd like to send me that's not on my list, I wouldn't mind at all. :-)

The presents look lovely
The egg nog looks great
The gingerbread men look like they could dance
I got a great man to date
But there's no toilet paper in the bathroom.

The china is grand
Boy does the silver shine
Love those Christmas phone calls
The decorations of red and green divine
But there's no toilet paper in the bathroom.
The stockings so lovely
The mantel with greens
The smell of the pine boughs
The best scent ever it seems
But there's no toilet paper in the bathroom
And I don't know what to do
But Merry Christmas everyone
Just hope you don't have to poo.

On the morning of her 5th birthday, Jordan went to the Bibbidi Boppidy Boutique to get dressed up like a real princess. Her hair, makeup dress, shoes crown and wand were all done/given to her. She later went to a tea party to learn how to be a real princess. She learned how to be a proper princess.

For 2 days she was a "real princess". On the night of her second day I asked her if she wanted to be a princess on our last day and she said "Well, tomorrow I think I want to be a child. It is very hard work being a princess all the time." I guess sitting with your ankles crossed and your hands gently in your lap, using your best manners, giving all the kind people thank you's and curtseys and granting dreams and wishes was more than a little girl could take lol.

I have made quite a list of seeds to send out. Did the addresses get sent yet or are they yet to come?

I need to make up a better list and will see if I have the time. I would just be happy to get a few cards.

Hey...everyone, take it easy on the sugar! Prevention helps a bunch.
Don't be like me and others who started omitting sugar after the damage was done.

best wishes,
Bea

Hey Bea good advice for everyone. I cut back on sugar sometime ago.Only time I really indulge is around the Holidays.Both sides of my family have diabetics and I need to be careful since I have a bad heart condition. Take care And Happy Thanks Giving.
