We got snow too. Didn't last out the day, but ol'Whiskerface & I stayed in
and watched Stargate films all day. I will get out the holiday cards this
year, I will.

Lawdy, another Stargate fan. Stargate Atlantis is coming soon with the
series finale. I hope they replace it with something decent. Sanctuary
doesn't cut the mustard with me. Looks like the SciFi channel is turning
into the Horror and Monster channel.

You and Miz Anne have the same mantra. We been married 48 years this
month and I can't remember a time when the cards went out before
mid-January. Right now I'm trying to head off the gift buying for grand
babies plague. She seems to think that because she works and brings home
a pay check she can spend it as she pleases. Let's see, where did I put
that big wooden spoon?

Glad ol' whiskers is doing better. I'm feeling better since I went back
to work. I'm working for the guy who is running my old bidness, keep my
own hours, do what work I want, it's the best job I ever had. Yee hah!

I've only seen the pilot and I have some reservations about it; I
certainly hope it gets better. I mean, nobody's noticed that castle on
the Hudson, and someone with those kinds of resources doesn't have the
kind of security that would text her cell phone when the electromagnetic
walls were taken down?

OTOH, maybe it's just not aimed at our demographic.

OBRFP: picked up the eggs, Safeway had bogo on the 18 pack so I got 72,
to pickle for the new year's eve's day open house (serena, you there?).
They'll sit until Monday so they'll be easier to peel when berled.
Going back to Safeway to get the rest of the supplies now.

Kroger ran an add this week for large eggs at one buck a carton, touted
as being from California, of course it was one of those 10 for 10 bucks
deals, got to buy 10 cartons to get the good price. Reckon the
California egg producers are getting rid of eggs in preparation for
moving out of state before the "free range" laying hen proposition goes
into effect?

Pickled eggs affect me in ways we don't mention in polite company so I
no longer pickle them. In my gravy days used to love to sidle into a bar
room and have a couple of pickled eggs, a couple of pickled polish
sausage, and a couple dozen draft beers.

I don't know about Cal, but here inthe midwest "10 for 10" simply
means each one is one buck. You don't have to buy ten of anything.

I don't know about Cal either, I live in Louisiana and what is says is
what it means as far as I can find out. Thought like you did at first
but bought three of one of the 10 for 10 deals and they cost me the
regular price.

Yup, we got snow too. Still had to go to work though. Although, the
timing was good--I go in a little later on Thursdays. Honestly, I
stood in front of my closet and wondered what I was going to wear that
day?!? Then, it struck me. I bought a pair of flannel lined denim
jeans on a trip to Tyler, Texas last spring. It turned out to be a
bit colder than forecast and I didn't want to freeze to death going to
Canton that weekend.

I got my wooden spoon ready...

It's rare here in the Phoenix area in all the major chains that you can't
buy the number you want, say 3 out of 10, and still just pay the sale
price. In fact, if that isn't the case, the conditions of having to buy
the full number are displayed explicitly.

Huh! It's 25 degrees here today. We didn't wear coats when we went to
the Mall of America this morning. Huh!

Last week the local grocery had medium sized eggs for 88 cents a dozen - but
a limit of 2 dozen. This week they were $1.19. Regularly $1.69.

And I do like my 1 egg, 3 egg white omelets in the morning. And my cat
agrees because she gets the raw yolks.

I prefer Egglands - even though they are more expensive. But the last time
I bought them (with a coupon) noticed they were not as fresh as usual.
(Whites spread, yolks flattened out a bit). Wondering if the economy is
pushing people to buy the generic more and the premium (Egglands) less?

And as far as Sci-Fi goes - have most of SG-1 episodes on tape. But miss
RDA.

Aw righty! and maybe, Yah! You betcha!

It's warming up again here, pretty day today. Garden shot due to frost
but still have fresh eggplant and peppers on the counter, and about a
bucket of green tomatoes.

Why would she be? She's never here except to eat and sleep, today she

sorry George, I didn't mean to do it. I was just afraid I was gonna end up
with the same amount of snow as we had last year. Thought I'd spread the
'cheer' so to speak....

These are the "gilded eggs" from Helen Witty's "Fancy Pantry." Pretty
mild, and they only cure 2 weeks. I do one batch as the recipe says for
bright yellow, and another batch with beets and horseradish for purple.
I also cut them in half so if anyone is going to be affected they only
have themselves to blame.

It may get up -15 F today and 8 F by Tuesday and then temperatures are
expected to drop again. Working in Celsius, when we came in last
night the house and the green house were the same temperature. Only
it was +21 C indoors and - 21 C in the greenhouse. If you wondered
why we are so enthusiastic about contributing to global warming,

Edmonton relatively warm in Alberta.

looks like I got my wish...it's raining here today!. It's +4C right now and
going up to +9C later today - that would almost be considered tropical this
time of year!

Kathi,
headed to the dentist to get my first ever crown made! UGH! What a great
Christmas gift to myself!
