Curious, you sound like my husband. He always wanted the end piece of all meats and I never knew it till much later in our marrage. One day I was serving meatloaf and he cought me giving him the end pieces. I later apologized telling him I just hated them, and he said why thats the best pieces. I nearly fell over, thinking nobody would want a crusty piece like that. He always got the ends after that.
I got some news today. I don't know wheather its good or bad yet. I'm digesting it! Mark, my nephew went with me to Indianapolis to see my Ortho doc and I ask him if he would like to go in with me, for he is my power of attorney. He said yes, he would. Well, doc told me he wouldn't operate on me now, unless it was a "life or death" situation! He said, if I was paralized he would. It is kinda scarey to hear a doc talk like that! He xrayed me and explained that I have three slipped vertebra's not one, like I was told. He has actually fused my worse ones in a slipped position. They couldn't be straightened. I am as good as I will ever be. I can't have ESI's because I am a diabetic. He thinks that is what is wrong and causing abdomal pain. Something about blood flow. He lost me there, so I ask if he would send my GP a letter and he said he would. Gaye, I have tried to get you on the phone, and forgot you were cooking for a daughter & family. Sorry to hear of your problems upseting you so. Remember here, we love you and understand that this does happen to all of us at one time or another.((((((BIG Hugs For Gaye))))))) Love, Billie

Holiday Eating Tips
1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls. 2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine single- malt scotch, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer than single-malt scotch. You can't find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-aholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas! 3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat. 4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission. 5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello? 6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog. 7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again. 8. Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or, if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day? 9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards. 10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Reread tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner. Remember this motto to live by: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" Happy Holidays everyone!

Thanks Curious and Bizi. Everything all turned out OK and the kids said the meal was good. So I got to stop leting it all get to me. Think I will take a calming knock pill and sleep tonight. Hee hee! The lights were nice and we laughed a lot over hot chocolate afterwards...so the evening was good.
I saw the phone ring but couldn't answer it and felt bad about that Billie. We were in the middle of super. Hugs, sis |

Gaye,
I have put popcorn in microwave for more time than it should have been and had smoke pouring out of my micro wave one time before I realized it. I have left the house with my burners on and remembered while at the bank and rushed back home before doing my banking. I try to make it point to check everything before leaving and making a mental note of it so I'll remember and won't wonder once I'm gone. Wendy, I hope your backside is better now. I'm doing better except for my whip lash. befuddled2 |
