Rain this weekend (Hi Murraysmom), but it cleared enough for fireworks last night. I made a cobbler with the last of the frozen peaches and the last of the fresh blueberries, and chia seeds, which look like deer ticks, not ants. ;)

I love "Maxine". My kind of realists sage for the current age....

Here's another Maxine-ism:

"If you MUST burn our flag, please wrap yourself in it first."

Hiya Nikki, if you look at your photobucket album you will see the options on the top right side of the screen that says upload from "your computer, web url, cell phone or email", choose cell phone and then it will give you the email address to send your pictures straight from your cell to your photobucket account. I just did it for the first time the other day. They will send you a confirmation text message back to your cell. I don't know how to turn that part off though. I got a little annoyed at my phone buzzing every time I uploaded another pic! lol! Hey Karen, Mmmmmm, that cake and ice cream sound awesome! Chocolate cake and frosting are one of my favs! Especially the recipe on the back of the hersheys cocoa box! Yum! Happy Birthday to your hubby! I hope he got all he wished for. Nighters! Tracy

Carol, I am sorry but you are taking this too far. Please just move past the bitterness and lets all have fun, after all this is a social swap. Look up the meaning of social. We are all just here to enjoy each others fellowship and friendship. This has put a damper on everything concerning this group. Please just move on and enjoy this wonderful group like we are all doing. There are two GREAT swaps going on so lets just all do like Sue and put things past where they belong... in the past. Susie this swap is awesome, I love reading about all the awesome baskets!!! I wish I could be a fly on the wall when everyone receives their picnics, that would be sooo much fun!!! Pixie

Standby Recipes

What luck! I was doing a search for a blonde brownie recipe, and up popped this recent thread. I'll be making them tomorrow for a weekend picnic. My mother used to make a blonde brownie that must have had similar ingredients. Alas, she never wrote down the recipe. She called them Congo Bars, for some reason. This was during the 50's. Probably something from the Pillsbury Bakeoff booklet, her Bible. About standby recipes. For more than ten years I cooked and ate brown rice daily. It was the basis of our macrobiotic diet. I loved it. Now I cook it a few times a year, and half of it sits in the fridge until I have to throw it away. That would have been unheard of in my household 30 years ago.

I am retired, but for many years I was working in the floral trade, either as a retailer or wholesaler. I first got into it when I was in college, working part time for my aunt in the early 1960s. Even then she still called it Decoration Day. We were super busy during the days leading up to Decoration Day, it was a date that was fixed, not a 3-day weekend as it is now. A local woman grew peonies and we went through several hundred of them as we made simple bouquets for the cemetery. We had two drivers who did that chore; those two guys were also the ones who delivered "grave blankets" beginning in mid-November. Customers who bought one, generally ordered the other. Those guys knew where all the graves were that they needed to know, no stopping at the office to get directions. Times have changed a whole bunch and not many communities still decorate at the cemeteries as we did then.

We are getting even more rain than we got yesterday, so I'm staying home. There was enough of a break last night for some to get in their fireworks. I don't think that will be the case tonight. Comfortable temps, so I am happy hanging out on my front porch today.

The ants are only there to help. You'd eat more if they weren't around.

LOL, thanks, Audrey! Hope you have a nice day today.

We thought, we would stay home, but just got asked to join some friends on their boat, to watch the swim across the bay.

With Dale recovering from pneumonia, we are taking it easy.

Saturday ended up being our busy, party day. A friend from college stopped by with her family, for lunch, on their way from Ohio to Virginia Beach. I was looking forward to their visit and looking to show off a little with the lunch but since I wasn't sure of any likes/dislikes I decided on a taco/burrito bar. I made grilled spiced chicken, slow simmered pork carnitas, mexican rice, refried beans, oven-roasted plantains, with a bunch of optional toppings. It went well and most everything was delicious, but I ended making way, way too much, and had more leftover than was eaten.

Then later than evening a friend who runs a foundation to obtain high-quality violins, violas, and cellos and match them with young performers skilled enough that the instrument can make a difference.invited us to a performance by one of their recipients, followed by a dinner.

We left the dinner around 9:15 and raced across town to where a co-worker was putting on his annual fireworks show, and managed to arrive just as the first large shell went up.

We're staying home too. Cloudy, rainy and threatening weather. We got 4" of rain between yesterday and last night.

Too gloomy and rain-threatening to want to *party* outside here. Lot's of traffic on the lake yesterday - none today. Put off the family gathering we usually have and now feel good about doing that. A low-key holiday here and that's okay.
