>> For the first time, in all my life, every single Chinese restaurant within 10 miles of our house was closed today<<   Most every place we passed today on the way to Roseann's house was closed. Don't know if our Chinese restaurant up the corner was closed because we didn't go that way. We had a nice dinner. We had an antipasto, and Ro made a homemade eggplant dish. I don't know the...

Although I was raised in the Catholic religion, I am now not a big fan of the Catholic Church or any other organized religions, which are really big businesses (just my opinion, folks).   Frankie, I was raised Catholic and feel exactly the same way as you do!  Although I do have to say that I've been to a few services over the years for other religions, and I've felt that a couple of them were more personalized and...

Luny coming home from my parents today we too were surprised that places that never had closed on Christmas day were dark today too. Like drug stores that carry everything from drugs to food. Also since we no longer take the local paper we raided the ads for the after Christmas sales from my parent's paper and we were shocked to see how few there were. In the past the ads in the Christmas Day paper equaled or surpassed the ones in the...

I am sorry you were not able to have your December 25th Chinese dinner but maybe next year you can plan to create your own. Lots of easy recipes for it out there and maybe even some on this board can contribute their favorites. Thanks, Holly.  I think we'll just have to plan on Christmas eve next year.  I can cook Chinese food myself, but it's just not the same as *the real thing*, if you know what I mean... The...

<<< Herself52 wrote:   Kristi I hope you have some form of alternative heat. Holly >>>   Does 6 cats qualify???  Seriously, heat will be the least of my worries if the power goes out. I live in a mobile home and so if we lose power, I risk my water pipes freezing and breaking.  Around here, most of our powerlines are underground so power outages are usually pretty...

Our server told us he would bring her a container, that they are now allowed to pack the food. Anyone know why??   probably because they were too lazy..........BUT I will tell you that *I* like to pack my own food....... Too many times it didn't LOOK RIGHT when the server packaged it ;-( Ruthie, Desi, Briggie I could have missed the pain But I'd have missed the dance  

What a precious pic Holly!  Love to see well-cared for animals.

The traditional Italian seafood dinner on Christmas Eve came from the Catholic rule that one mustn't eat meat on Christmas Eve. Although I was raised in the Catholic religion, I am now not a big fan of the Catholic Church or any other organized religions, which are really big businesses (just my opinion, folks). But I still follow the tradition >>>>>> This seems to be limited to Italian...

awww, parchment paper.   Last time I saw that stuff was on the giant cookie sheets at this bakery I worked at!!  Of course, we never reused one sheet.   I see the cooks on tv using that quite a bit.  Never bought it.  I should! HOLLY
