#5 for me Congrats Daniella on winning one of Dorothy's cool ornaments. No shopping for me either, tried it one year and I said never again. It was too crazy for me. I don't even look at the sale flyers because I don't want to see what I missed out on. But I do hit the after Christmas sales. Well I'm off to get the Christmas tree out of the attic and rearrange living room furniture. Deb

The link "Donate Prizes" opens to an email address. I assume they would like users of the Library to donate a plant or another garden item, as a means of rewarding those who submit photos. Steve

Hi Brightonborn! He is the baby that the link that I posted takes you to. His name is Devin. In the photo he is in a blue and white bouncy chair and is wearing a long sleeved shirt with a red pattern made up of letters on a white background. He has the prettiest big blue eyes and a big smile :-)

Yeah, better than Paul Revere because I could have gotten four tickets to the concert for $12 each, so the electric credit is worth $2 more, LOL. Paul Revere was a hoot though, and although my girls had never even heard of him, they enjoyed themselves a lot, even got autographed t-shirts. The recipe? This was the favorite recipe of Sheshebop's husband, our dear departed Roger. I do make my own pasta for this recipe, and I always use bulk Italian Sausage, never slices, but whatever a person prefers is what they should use. I understand that the Cooperative has a chef that makes these recipes for tasting and judging and that commercial pasta was used, so if you don't feel like making pasta, buy some Barilla (or your brand of choice)! I also never use the wine, I just use chicken stock, but again, it's all your choice. Sausage and Mushroom Pappardelle 8 ounces pappardelle pasta 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 red bell pepper, sliced 1 onion, thinly sliced 4 links smoked turkey sausage, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 6 large mushrooms, sliced pinch of red pepper flakes 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary 1 cup cream 1/2 cup sweet marsala wine kosher salt parmesan cheese for garnish Bring a large stock pot of water to a boil then generously salt with kosher salt. Add pappardelle pasta and cook until al dente then drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta sauce. While pasta is cooking begin cooking the sauce. In a 10-inch skillet over medium-high, heat olive oil and then add red bell pepper slices and onion and cook for 4-5 minutes or until onion softens, stirring occasionally. Season with kosher salt, add mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes. Add garlic, turkey sausage and red pepper flakes and cook until turkey is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Add cream, marsala, tomatoes and rosemary to skillet and cook for about 3 minutes or until sauce thickens and tomatoes soften. Gently fold in pasta to skillet until coated. If you'd like more sauce, add reserved pasta water one tablespoon at a time or another pour or two of cream if you want a heavier sauce. Garnish with parmesan, kosher salt and more rosemary if desired. Serve immediately. Annie
