Laurie, Orc's in good shape now that we changed his batteries! It looks like now I'm sort of his caretaker. He's out getting wood for the fire. I'll get the fire going and put some coffee on. There ought to be some Bailey's around, too!

I have today off, a shaggy cat in my lap, Rush on Rhapsody, and am on Pet Talk. It doesn't get much better than this.

MOFF, I'm glad your brother is going to help you out!

Have you all ever had French toast made with Bailey's? You mix the Bailey's with the eggs. I'll whip some up if anyone's interested.

Good morning everyone!

French toast with Bailey's?? Count me in!! I'm hungry! How about a tall coffee with Bailey's?? I see theme here.

What's everyone doing for New Year's Eve??

[lbaker]

My plans for New Years Eve rarely change, see if I stay awake to see The Ball go down in Times Square I will probably have mimosa's on New Years day, with some buffet dishes including, of course, black eyed peas for good luck. One thing I'm planning for the table this year (shall I use you guys as guinea pigs?) is... ta dahhh

6 tablespoons unsalted European-style butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1/2 French-bread baguette
Dijon mustard
1 cup watercress, thick stems trimmed
6 ounces smoked salmon
Coarsely ground black pepper

Cut baguette horizontally in half. Spread Dijon mustard on cut sides of bread. Spread dill butter over. Top with watercress, then smoked salmon. Sprinkle with pepper. Cut each sandwich crosswise into 6 equal pieces, making 12 total.

I never plan on having people over but there are a few that just know to drop by. I like that

Oh my breakfast looks YUMMY! I'll have some of that special French Toast with a side of sausage and coffee - straight up! Laurie, that Salmon looks WONDEFUL!

Possum? What happened? You look like a Sharpei!

Goood Moooorrrrnnning Thursdays! Said in my best Robin Williams voice!

I was up late last night so I am not too chipper quite yet - but it promises to be a very good day!

Just a little bit of work to do and then I can goof off the rest of the day.

Bailey's French Toast - wholly molely - does that sound good!

We should send a big stack of that fench toast to our dear Slick . It sure couldn't hurt. Any one heard any more from her and how she's doing? I hope Max is up to his nursing duties.
