What's your favorite garlic bread recipe? I know it's great on French bread. Maybe a vampire is after me and I'm warding them off? Is that the right evil one?

I have just always used around 2 parts pinto beans to 1 part kidney. I don't like all kidney beans. All pinto would probably be OK but I like the variety the darker kidney beans give it.

Being in the 91st percentile overall and 94th percentile in Science is not too shabby.

He is still going to retake the SAT to see if he can get higher than the 1800s he got last time.

congrats to your DS! i tell ya that 28 it is a stickler isn't it? still haven't found a place to get his SATs

I finally just went to Walgreens and bought him some Philips stuff...I am not one to take medications and stuff like that.. I hate it.. I hate taking stuff...but we got into it this morning because he was telling me that Non Dairy creamer was full of dairy...OMG I got angry and tossed his coffee and said F IT I will go to Walgreens then.. so I bought him crap from a box, so hopefully he goes and feels better.. but he pissed me off today..

However while I was there, their Christmas stuff was next to nothing.. and I believe Deb.. told me that...but I bought him a package of boxes he needs for a gift he is still giving and a package of butterfingers candy...cause I am a horrific mom.. and I bought myself a strand of pink lights a strand of red and white lights and a strand of stars.. I don't think they are the LCD or the LED or whatever it's called... cause there was hardly anything.. so I draped it around the table my TV sits on...nice and pink and pretty.. the dogs had to go to them and sniff them.. and then I turned them off and will wait for the night time..if the 3 boxes last me thru January I will get enjoyment out of them.. it was reduced to 2 bucks each.. so I am not expecting them to last forever...

I just had some coffee and I may make some hot chocolate with the unsweetened cocoa powder and sweetener and a touch of cream...

oh you can use them year after year Melinda LOL i just buy MORE every year cause i put up more and pink and white heck all the way through Valentines

YUM YUM YUM!! i adore garlic and yup right scary dude :LOL ya know why they started that garlic would help ward of vampires don't ya?/ garlic helps strengthen your blood so like symptoms of anemia(vampires) are lessened or even eliminated PLUS your breath aint so good wither that might have something to do with it LOL

Mona, I am so sorry I was sleeping...

Your ham can be in the crock pot on high for about 4 hours. If it is the pre cooked kind.

Rackin Frackin!!! I sent packages to you, my sister and my granddaughters all on the same day and guess what...Not a one showed up! Now I am mad!

[Lony]

Deb I am so sorry I will make a new batch of cookies.

[Mona]

Thank you Lony! I just put it in the oven though since I had to get going on it. I've compromised and got my baked beans going in the crock pot though. Tee hee! Melinda you aren't going to like this recipe at all since you don't like beans! LOL. I take a couple cans of pork n' beans...whatever kind I have around the house. Then I add in some cooked, chopped bacon, the bacon grease (all of it!) and a chopped onion, a good squirt of ketchup and prepared mustard, and a couple good shakes of worchestershire sauce. Then bake/crock until it gets nice and brown and bubbly.
