My Christmas dinner got postponed to Saturday also, because of the weather.

It won't be the variety like yours though; just the usual Turkey and trimmings, green beans, sweet potato casserole, ambrosia, Broccoli/cheddar soup and I don't know what else. Oh, and a Birthday cake for my DGD whose birthday was December 9th.

Better late than never.

No toddlers in my family any more. I really miss that.

Enjoy your day!

Glenda that sounds so yummy!
We are off to MIL's today. She is 90 so no cooking over there. We have a wonderful Cantonese Restaurant that we order in from on Boxing Day. It is so delicious! Then there will also be shrimp, cheese & crackers, fruits and dips etc. It's easy, tasty and doesn't require alot of cleanup so we and MIL can relax and enjoy each others company.
Have a great day!

Central Ohio Plant Swap & Pot Luck on Sat. May 15, 2004

Comments (100)
I am getting things potted up for the swap. I am focusing on bringing a smaller number of larger trades this year. I stopped by a nursery to find some cheap pots and talked them into selling me some of their 6" square pots (probably about 1/2 gallon ones) for $.20 each. Last year Oakland Park had nice 4" ones for $.09 each, but they didn't carry them this year. So far I have rhubarb, chocolate mint, lemon balm, spiderwort, lamb's ear, evening primrose, Golden Tiara hosta, misc. var. hosta, and Michaelinsis daisy potted up into 1/2 gallon or larger pots. I also have quite a few small starts of Penny's Worth daylily, a nice little daylily with yellow flowers. It kind of looks like a miniature version of Happy Returns. I also have plenty of tomatoes. I have about 60 varieties started this year. Some I only have a few of, but many of them I will have extras of to bring to the swap. We will be potting up some other things to bring as well. We usually bring the dogs into Columbus with us when we visit. But I don't see how they will fit in the van with all of the plants. It looks like we will have to leave them with friends for the weekend. We are looking forward to seeing everyone on the 15th. James

Hi Diane,I was wondering if getting there at around 11:30 but at least before noon would be too late to come?My friend Sue won't be able to make it She is due to become a Grandmother for the first time any time now and is afraid to venture off.So I have another friend Jacquie who is coming with me and she doesn't get off till late early morning and we won't get on the road till around 9:30am or so and it's a good hour and half or better from here. So will I be too late? I sure hope not.Hope to see you all soon.

Peggy, thank you for the inspiration. I read your post yesterday and thought, all I need to clean is the linen closet. We have been inside due to all the cold weather and have been complaining that I cannot get out and exercise. After reading your post it got me to thinking, I can exercise in the house by cleaning out the linen closet. It was amazing what I took out of the linen closet, Took all the blankets and spreads to the animal shelter, they didn't need the towels so we took those over to a thrift store that funds a cancer hospital for children. I feel so good knowing that I got everything cleaned and out of the house. Also got my exercise, climbing up and down the ladder going into the closet. We have 12 foot ceilings, so we have lots of closet space. Thanks for giving me the inspiration to get started. Going to bed feeling good about my day.

Last night (pre-Xmas Eve): Vinegared cucumber Salmon seared with teriyaki glaze Tempura broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms French fries A mediocre French wine with a deceptively promising label Today am: Roesti Pork sausage Scrambled eggs Toast with Accidental Sausage-Potato Gravy Tonight (Xmas Eve): Spinach-corn salad Escargot Cracked crab Creamed corn Flan dessert A hopefully better wine Tommorrow am (Xmas Day): Bagels and lox Dutch Baby Some sort of egg-sausage casserole Mimosa Tomorrow dinner: Roast chicken Mashed potatoes Accidental Sausage-Potato Gravy By the way, here is my recipe for Accidental Sausage-Potato Gravy: - receive instructions from wife to cook up 4 packages of maple pork sausage for her casserole - receive instructions from son to make roesti - place sausages in two large pans, cook in water, remove cooked sausages to sheet pan and broil for brown-ness - put julienned potatoes in same pans and cook, adding more water as needed - remove potatoes and make roesti - notice that cooking water from sausages and potatoes is dark brown, flavorful, and starchy. Decide not to throw it out. Boil it down in the pans and end up with Accidental Sausage-Potato Gravy.

Glenda, make sure and update us, on how it went.

My daughter just left, and called back and said the roads were mostly icy, some places slush, and lots of cars in the ditches.

Me thinks, I will wait till about 4, to go to hancocks. They have a sale, and I have a 40% off coupon, and two new books for knitting hats and toys for little girls. I feel the need to get busy.

If there's any left, please pass the cheese grits and shrimp! I doubt there's a grit left, though.

I fixed a large brunch yesterday--so much in fact neither of us thought it was worth cooking Christmas dinner, since neither of us was hungry. So we're having it tonight.

It's:

Prime rib
Roasted red potatoes
Green beans almadine
Rolls
Pumpkin pie

I feel much more like eating it today.

That was the best shrimp and grits, I think I have ever had.

arghhhhhhhhhh, everyone had a cough, one of the little ones threw up.

Gotta disinfect every square inch I can, and just took an airborne effervescent.

Fingers cross!
