I think it's almost time to do the Mardi Gras thing.. I saw a newspiece on the tube the other night.
I have beads for the gals:eek::confused:
And masks for the guys!:D
I think some suggestions are in order for food and can we start with a Southern Comfort cocktail ?
DONE!:D
We've still got some time for Mardi Gras - but no one says you cannot start partying early!
Mardi Gras - Shrove Tuesday - is February 24th this year.
For Shrove Tuesday - not sure why - but we used to have a pancake dinner at the church. Pancakes, anyone?
I, for one, will resist the beads - one busted string and the orange kitty (formerly a blue kitten) will have a field day chasing beads everywhere!
As for me, in real life I am sick with a nasty cold, so just a nice cup of chai with honey, please.
LOL!
My BF loves the Mardi Gras.
His past Mardi Gras parties (before we were dating) were not for the faint at heart.
I heard the woman had to show something to get those nice beads.
I'll pass on the beads but I'll have a Margarita.;)
I made some stuff potato skins and Nachos for the party.
Karen feel better, that nasty head cold has been getting everyone over my way.
DUDE!Quote:

Do you know you can tell how bad the economy is by how many pretzels are in your Chex mix? The worst the economy, the more pretzels in the bag. The bag I opened the other day had tons more pretzels than usual.
I know because I don't like pretzels unless they are chocolate covered. So I pull them out. I do drizzle melted chocolate over them so they won't go to waste. :D
Hmmm, interesting! I wonder why that is? Are pretzels less expensive than the other ingredients in Chex mix?Quote:

I have a Trader Joe's right by my work. They have good stuff!
I've had a tough week. I think it's time for a Hurricane, and some jambalaya!
I think pretzels are less expensive than the cereals in the mix. A box of cereal is over $4 here but a bag of pretzels is around a dollar.Quote:

:) Oh I know Cereal is just to High $$ for me.. Hey I have never heard of a Trader Joe's.. Bring on the store so Walmart can have some competion.. There is Walmart or Cacos..:rolleyes:Quote:

I can't wait until daylight savings begins again - I don't like it when we have to "fall back".
It's in the book of Adverbs. :rolleyes:Quote:
