Well sweetie, after you announced your mistake in the coffeehouse, it was over, someone was bound to come along and give you heck for that one and I just happened to be there.

Loz, Hope Mark is careful out there. Be sure and let us know when he makes it home safely. So what kind of garden goodies are you asking for?

I'm outta here... already have the car warming up & deicing. (DEICING IN ROSEBURG!! UNHEARD OF! How disgusting!) After school (out at noon today)I'm bringing the grandgirls home with me & they'll help me finish up the wrapping & fine-tune the tree. (Wrapped theirs yesterday, cuz I knew I wouldn't get through the whole pile in 1 sitting.) They're sure good helpers! Y'all try to stay outta trouble... & watch Triss...she's sneaky!)

Sarah, How long do you have left to hit 3 years?

I am sure you could do it in that pan Sarah, but have no idea about needing two mixes or not. Does one mix call for a regular loaf pan? If so then I would use two. And with a bundt pan, it is really important if it calls for greasing the pan that you make sure and get all the nooks and crannies.

Thanks Triss! One box makes one loaf pan, so i hope two fills it. The pan is one of those new silicon jobbers...I'm kinda scared of it. It says to not use any grease, but it's trees, and it's ALL nooks and crannies...
We will see how it turns out... I guess if I totally butcher the cake, I can use the crumbles to make a trifle, right?

Yep be careful Patty!
Barley, I have no idea...I'm not much of a Martha either....
Triss, I'm sure he'll be okay---I swear it's a man thing....Everytime it snows really bad you see all the men out driving around in their trucks.... I asked for new solar lights, seed starting heat mat, garden statues, all kind of stuff....I give him a list for basic ideas but he never sticks just to the list...He's great at picking stuff out for me...One year he got me a couple of bras as part of my xmas presents, and he said he was in the store asking the women if they liked the bras because he was trying to get a womans point of view to see what he should buy me....
How are the kids today triss????

Wow they must mean you to make gigantic cookies. I am going to get more like 6 doz per tub instead of the 4 doz it says is there. And these still nice size cookies.
I just walked in here to discover I hadn't posted this!

Well if I had a truck and could, I would drive in the snow as well. Guess I'd have to have SNOW!
Good deal Fernie. Are you making all the kinds? I'm not sure if you can re-freeze the dough or not, but if you can then make balls out of the dough first and then freeze it. That way you can make as many or few as you want later on.

Today I did a florentine potato soup and boy howdy was it yummy. I always love the combination of ham and potato but this was a new one on me. I've already had to bowls and I'll probably finish off the pot tomorrow. It is a perfect soup for a cold day. And it's snowing here again to day so you know it's cold.
Well I'm on my way to bed but I wanted to stick my nose in just for a moment and wish everyone another wonderful day during the holiday season.

Florentine potato soup? Did you post the recipe? (insert begging graemlin here)
It says right on the tub that the dough can be refrozen. I never thought of putting it all into balls so I could do as many as I wanted.
I am making 3 doz of each flavor. And I am packing 2 tins with 1 doz of each flavor to give as presents. The rest are mine.... mmmmwwwwhhhhaaahaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaaa

I'm home from running ALL my errands... it only took us about 2 1/2 hours and at least 40 minutes of that was driving time, so we did great!
Sarah, about needing one or two mixes for your bundt pan. It helps to know how many cups liquid your pan holds? Many bundts are 6 to 8 cups and a single box of mix won't fill one properly. If you have one of the larger bundt pans, go with two mixes, just be careful NOT to overfill the thing so that the batter runs over the sides when it begins to rise.
Trust me, I'VE done that before! Any batter left over you can pour into a smaller something and bake it.

Ok the fudge is safe in the fridge now. Will it last until X-mas, some of it is for the family and some will be given tomorrow to the teachers.
One more fudge question, then I will stop. I want to make peanut butter fudge. But I want it chocolate with real peanut butter rippling through it. How would I do that? Do I need for the fudge to cool a bit in the pan and then add the PB stir a bit and then put it in the dish to cool completely? Or how?
Oh ya Fernie, I freeze dough this time of year into balls so we can have cookies over the next couple of months anytime we want, a dozen at a time. Makes for a great dessert even when I do not feel like baking. And everyone can choose their flavor.
Merme, That was a quick outing. Enjoy the ride in the car?

Morning for about 20 more3 minutes- I was so warm and cozy last night I slept till 8;45- phone rang and woke me up--- would probably still be sleeping otherwise- feel okay - just a late start to my day- watching the 2 little ones so Carrie can run errands without them- so have to hurry now and get showered and dressed before they arrive- hopefully they will nap for me and I can get some stuff started at least-.. Teresa has gotten a few calls after posting her resume on Monstor.com hopefully she will get a job out of it- a permanent one-- Well I am off and running now to get my day started way late----- but sure felt good to sleep! Have a good one all- be back later- kidlets permitting! Nana

After trying all three....I think I better watch out......the key lime/white chocolate are going to be VERY hard to resist. The lemon/cranberry are terrific tea cookies and the triple crown are sort of just choc chip with 3 kinds of choc (white, milk and semi-sweet). They taste good, just aren't "different".
oh and Triss, I don't have a clue about swirling pb throughout fudge.

Hey there everyone...I just shoveled the sidewalk and salted it, wow was it slick, we had freezing rain before it started snowing...
Then I went over and shoveled mom and dads sidewalk and mom yanked me inside for a coffee and a cookie....
Now I'm back, and warm, and working myself up to make my own cookies...

Hi Nana, Praying that Teresa gets a good job. Boy it is hard to write her name without an "H" since I have spent my whole life writing mine with one. Are all the grands feeling better?
Fernie, I would not be able to resist either. Remember to put some aside for those tins.
Thanks Sarah, the 2nd one gave me what I needed.
Busy girl Loz, cookies and coffee are always good to warm up after shoveling.
Things going well here, made the mint fudge and baking cookies. Lost track of time and the bus driver had to call about Lys. OOPS. Gonna feed the kiddos so Jonny can get to school on time.

I'm finally back. My day didn't begin like I'd planned but that's a long story. Let's just say it has to do with abused, abandoned dogs and living in the boondocks where people 'dump' them. This one has a happy ending. So far. Everyone's cookies, cakes and fudge sound delicious. I was supposed to be wrapping today. Tomorrow is my kids' last day of school and I want it done before if possible. Not going to happen. Oh well another delayed project. I can handle it. ~Tina

Loz, It is very worth it. You cannot imagine how proud I am of myself for finally figuring out fudge, I am a fudge maniac now. I think after the PB fudge, I want to make cherry with bits of marishino cherries inside.
Tina, It does not sound like you are having a good day at all. Hope it gets better by the time the kiddos get home from school. How does teddy handle vacations? They are really hard on Zackery.
Tammy, get rid of that thing asap, we don't want to be without you long. how is the roommate situation going?

Ted loves vacationing at home best! But he also travels well. We went to New Zealand for six weeks a couple years ago and he was a wonderful companion. (except on the plane when he wanted to kick the seat in front of him). We go camping and things. He's just good and I'm just lucky. ~Tina

Afternoon all. I read back a page or two someone is making a Bundt cake. Is that one you can Bunt pass or punt or just grab it and run? Got off late this morning had a package at P.O. Sister sent me two Tony Hellerman books as well as some Jalapenos and chips and salsa. I keep telling her we have Salsa and chips here but she sends it anyway she knows it wont last long. also got card from Triss was real pretty thank you very much. Went up to WMS where I retired from had lunch with a bunch of my lady friends. Time I got out of there I had been hugged by every woman there . I have invited one lady and her dad to join and sent them a link. They are from Long Island (and sound like they are) she had to move her folks down here so she can help as her dad has had some heart problems. When Wendy said he liked to Garden I put my big foot right in the door and told her all about us here so she and her dad may join. I hope they do. Anyone heard how Vanessa came out @ Dr. today? Jimmy

Hey, I'm good, JV! How are you doing? I'm lurking and reading and checking out the walmart circular online, gotta go but refuse to during the Christmas season unless it's very late or very early in the morning. I started my vacation today, until Jan. 3. Having minor surgery tomorrow, starting Christmas shopping and crafting this week!

You are very lucky Tina that major transitions like that are easy. Zack does travel very well though, good thing too since we like to go cross country as often as we can. He also does a plane very well, just does not like missing school.
Well Hi there Jimmy, glad you got the card. Enjoy your chips and salsa.
Mel, Will be praying for you tomorrow that the surgery is a success. Hope you won;t be down for long.
Sarah, The guys stole your cake? Well that is not very nice of them. Hope you enjoy your lil one.
