Onion Ice Cream, a Pre-Coffee Grimace and Vampires
I worked all weekend... which isn't unusual, but Mondays are usually my rest-recoup-hangout-and-take-it-easy kind of days and this Monday is not going to be that at all. I have mucho errands to run. I really should be in bed now, but it's hard to come home and crash when I know I don't have to work in the morning...So, here I am up at almost 1AM...
I just watched Bobby Flay do a red velvet cake throw down. He lost. Does he ever win? Now Cat Cora and that other iron chef guy that I don't know are doing a chocolate challenge. Ever notice that they'll make ice cream with anything? I mean, chocolate is fine for ice cream, obviously, but sometimes the "secret ingredient" is like octopus or onions and I swear they'll make octopus or onion ice cream for dessert. It never fails.
...And Thomas passed a meme my way which dared me to post the 6th picture in my 6th photo folder and share the deets. K...
Here goes:
Pretty scary, huh? Joanne had asked me to smile. So, I made a semi-compliant pre-coffee grimace. I think we were getting ready to paint the den or something. It was one of our getting-up-at-midnight-like-vampires-cause-we-both-worked-a-night-shift-the-night-before-and-slept-all-day-kind-of-nights.
Speaking of vampires, I love True Blood. Anybody else watching that show?
K... I'm off to bed. Hope everyone has an easy Monday.
Sweet Sixteen
I have three nieces (all my only sister's girls) and they are all teenagers now. Unbelievable. Today is my middle niece's sweet 16 birthday. Yeesh. It seems like we were just building sand castles last week. Now she has a driver's permit and is all excited about getting her license. I'll never forget taking her for a walk around the lake near my parents' house one Autumn day. She was about three. She was wearing a little dress with big hip pockets and she was stuffing leaves into them. Red, orange, yellow, along with a few interesting looking rocks and some sticks. Gosh, where does the time go?They'll always be angel babies to me. All three.
I'm Thankful for my Friends
Joanne and I went to our good friends C & J's house last night for Thanksgiving dinner. We haven't gotten together with them much this year because we've all been so busy, so it was really great to see them. We usually take at least one vacation together every year to the beach or the mountains... sometimes both. We are planning on going to Vegas in the spring.
C is quite the amateur chef and made a wonderful turkey dinner. He and Joanne both love to cook, so they talked shop about the culinary arts and work (They are both nurses and used to work in the same unit. That's how we all met.). J and I - well, we are nurses, too. She's considering applying to the same grad school program. We may even be able to take some classes together. That would rock.
The pooches are buds, too. Annie and Ernie love to play with their dog. So, last night was terrific. Old friends, a G-R-E-A-T dinner, and a wine called "Fat Bastard" - what more could you ask for?
I didn't take any photos last night, but here are a few from one of our recent trips to the Outer Banks.

Once we checked into the beach house we had to go shopping for the necessary supplies:
(I waited in the car. That's Joanne in the middle.)

The gang:
We always have a great time together!
I hope everyone else had a terrific Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Joanne and I are both off today :o) We are going to spend the day with some of our friends being thankful and eating turkey!
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
May your stuffing be tasty.
May your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize.
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
The Parrot
(from my inbox)A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary. Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior." John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Candace and Newt
It isn't too hard to imagine that Candace and Newt Gingrich don't get along given their differences in philosophy and lifestyle.But have you read this? It's an open letter that she just posted to him at The Huffington Post earlier today. It's scathing. Makes you wonder how two siblings could be so different. My sister and I will certainly never be accused of being two peas in a pod, but thankfully we do get along a little better than these two.
I don't blame her for calling him out - and, for obvious reasons, I do side with her - but it's still kind of sad and shocking to read this.
