I'll be back with a DOTD and some chow ideas?
Let me put my snow tires and we are off!

With that in mind?
I got fire wood lined up and it's veggie soup and home made garlic mashed potatoes.
LOL, I ran out of yeast, so we having warm tortillas instead of bread! Kalifornia Kwuisine?:rolleyes:;)
DOTD?
Snowplow recipe
8 oz hot chocolate
1 oz Bailey's® Irish cream
1 oz Malibu® coconut rum
1/2 oz creme de cacao
1 dash cinnamon
1 1/2 oz whipped cream
In a coffee mug!
DONE?
Barkeep, I've been sick, too, but it's throat/chest/ears type thing. I'll take some soup, please, with a DOTD afterwards. I'm really getting tired of my couch!:rolleyes:
LOL,Quote:

The couch has caused me some problems, I cannot stretch out all the way, so If I fall asleep on it, sometime during the night I wake up and stretch then get the worst cramp, I literally fall out to the floor and scream!
One bowl of soup and a snowplow.
------
I hate being sick, I have had a bowl of top ramen, an orange and two small bottles of lemon lime soda and a cup of tea, in two days
I was so pumped up for some potatoes and now I am not in the mood.:(:mad:
Feel better, more firewood and a Snowplow.
DONE!
No, Richard, Pinot doesn't position herself that way.:) She has to be glued to my hip, the backs of my knees, my thighs...not my chest, thank goodness, because it would be very difficult right now!:)Quote:

No sickness here. Just a total meltdown. We're having a Chinook of sorts, no wind but warm temps. It was +2 today and everything is M E L T I N G!! Driving is a challenge in all the slop, windshield washer just can't keep up. Getting my H1N1 shot tomorrow.
That snowplow sounds really yummy though, I'd take one please.
Richard, you've got to keep warm, put on some socks!!
Oh the weather outside is frightful
But Florida is delightful
There are lizards and bugs you know
but no snow, but no snow, noooo snow
I'm giving a bad hair warning
It's a humid foggy morning
there's a mosquito bite on my toe
but no snow, but no snow, noooo snow!
But I'll have the DOTD anyway!!
Brag, why don't you!;)Quote:

RICHARD, I'm afraid I'm on the sick list, too. Right now I have a sore throat that's hurting. Could I have a BIG cup of coffee with Bailey's. Tell Orc I'm too hoarse to yell at him!
Of Catherdana, I don't think I could "do" Christmas in Florida! Some years we don't have snow for the actual day - but there's always the possibility!
I think with all these sore throats we should turn that DOTD into a slushie!!:D Hope you feel better, David!Quote:

Every now and again, I would surely like to spend Christmas Eve in a bathing suit on the beach, drinking Pina Coladas (like we did in Dom. Rep. one time). :p :D
Anyway, can I try one of those Snow drinks, please?
Yes, I have to admit it's still strange even after 15 years here. The cold and possibility of snow on Christmas made it so much more. . .Christmasy! But now that I've been here a while, I have a really hard time with cold weather. Last time I experienced February in NYC, I cried walking down 14th street because I couldn't stand the icy gusts of wind!Quote:

Oh! and the DOTD as a slushy. . .sounds too good to pass up! Easy way to get bombed, though!!! :p
If you are going to get bombed, go nuclear!Quote:

Randi,
Salt and ice?
You just need some margarita mix and tequila!;)
One snow plow?
DONE!
PM,
David,
Aren't we a bunch?
Between sore throats and other stuff?:eek:
One slushie?
DONE!
Karen,
Hot sand, warm breezes, cool drinks, people dressed as Santa Claus (shorts, black socks and sandals?);)

I'll have a DOTD, please. Colder than you-know-what today! It was so mild in November; now it's payback time.
One Snowplow? DONE!Quote:

Latest forecast: a coastal storm with snow moving in Friday night and ending Saturday night. MD, DE and NJ are expected to get "significant" amounts of snow, tho no one is saying how much is significant at this point. After the mild weather we've had, this cold is brutal! I hope it's no indication of what the rest of the winter will be like, but unfortunately we're overdue for a bad winter.
Any way you look at it, I think we're going to need a real snowplow before the weekend is over. :mad:
I need something to warm my innards. You make it - I'll drink it. ;)
I know, Ellie, and under normal circumstances I wouldn't care - we're snow people, BUT!! we're supposed to have our Christmas party on Saturday - there are between 40 and maybe 75 people expected at our house on Saturday night with 10-12 inches of snow predicted to fall BEFORE that! It's not making me happy!:rolleyes:Quote:

Oh no!!! That's not good news at all for you. Maybe it will track further off the coast and we won't get too much. Then again - you just might end up with a house full of overnight guests. :eek:Quote:

Seems like everybody is sick.
My family and I were sick 2 weeks ago.
When I was on Jury Duty last week, everybody was coughing and sore throat.
No slushie for me. To cold.
Ummm Since this is cyber food, how about Pizza with double toppings. :)
What are you all sick with the pig flu? :eek::eek::eek:
Maybe I'll just pop back in next week when you all feel better. :love:
LOL, I wish it was cyber flu!Quote:

KYS,
Pizza, Double everything!!!
DONE!
I'm depressed! I have a leak under the kitchen sink. Where the sink drain connects to the drain pipe. I have no clue how long it has been leaking but it looks like quite a while. The pipes slant so I can't put a pan or bucket under it to catch the leak plus the temps are going to be around 20 so I have to leave the faucets dripping.
Plus, getting a plumber in this town before next year will probably be impossible.
give me a double shot of everything. :(
I could use a DOTD...Ive been feeling under the weather too. *sigh*
Silly me! I just remembered I could put a bucket under the faucet and catch the drips before they go down the drain. :rolleyes:
I want a brain for Christmas! :D
Don't be drepressed, it could be worse.Quote:

I finally got an appetite back...
A snowplow?
DONE!
I think everyone's going to be able to build a BIG snowman in the east!! Y'all ready?? It's COMING!!!
My yucky throat is hopefully on the way out, Richard it looks like you're feeling better, how's David, DJF & MOFF?? Orc, crank up the slushie snowplows for all - IT'S FRIDAY!!:D
Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful....;) Wait, that's tomorrow...
Could I please have coffee with a half shot of Bailey's, I've got a serious headache.
Oh Maggie - I think your Christmas party is going to be delayed. I just heard the latest - 10"-20". OMG!!!
I was just talking to my brother in NC, and they have about 6" and the roads are impassable. He's supposed to be leaving for FL in the morning. Maybe - maybe not!
Everyone out there that's getting this storm - please be careful.
I'd like a dirty dead snowman please. This comes from a Michael Vartan fan website. He used to be on a show called ALIAS. It was my favorite! For the last ALIAS, we had a party where we dressed up as characters and had show related drinks and food. Many of the drinks were thought up by the webmistresses of the VartanHo website, but we did come up with a few of our own. We dressed as characters and said farewell to the show as a group. The bar's theme reminded me of that, so I went and found the recipe. Even though no one probably knows the reference to the dirty dead snowman from the show, I'll buy anyone in the bar who would like one a drink. I can hope we get some real snow around here. If we do, I may just break out my ALIAS DVDs and watch a few episodes! My avatar of Sydney Bristow comes from that show too!

Make a *thick* milkshake with the ice cream (using vanilla will make the Snowman less "dirty"), milk and kahlua. (If using coffee ice cream, can leave out the kahlua for a nonalcoholic version.) Pour into a tall glass and splash the grenadine "blood" on top. Happily stick a plastic garnish sword into the top of the drink. Don't cry over it, though.
Bartender's Note*
A hell of a lot more appealing than the one on the show!
*not me!:)
DONE!
POM,
LOL, I just forecast the weather, you put the faces to it!:eek:
Yes, please be careful, everyone.
DONE!
CM, Coffee, half shot, hope you feel better!
DONE!
PM,
I still have my moments, I get urges to eat, get it all together and just lose my appetite.
I bought chinese for lunch and didn't touch it!:rolleyes::(
Hope everyone else is O.K.!
Hi, RICHARD I'm still alive. The sore throat is gone, (the slushies worked!), but I'm starting to get the sniffles. In Cabot, we're due to get up to 4" of snow overnight, just right for making snowmen! May I have a hot cup of coffee with Bailey's in it?
Well, bundle up and I'll get the fire going.Quote:

Yes, we have pretty much ruled out the party - it's the first time in over 25 years our Christmas Open House has been affected by weather, so I guess we were due. We're going to make a mad round of phone calls and tell everyone to come over Sunday for the Ravens game (which has been moved to 4:15 from 1pm) instead. We have lots of food and drink - y'all are welcome!;)Quote:

One big, tall DOTD for me please. I'm off the booze, but hey, this is cyber.
Pinot - 40-75 people???? :eek::eek: How do ya feed a crowd like that???? I could never do it - mind you I can't cook either.:rolleyes:
Gee, at this time of year I really miss Mario. :( He used constantly make me laugh, running around in his diaper, hanging from the rafters and throwing food.
Orc, why don't you sit down here beside me. I could use come company.
Richard, are you going to be Santa and can I sit on your lap and talk about.....;)
