Watched Rachael Ray make a yummy looking sausage/mac/cheese dish
today that is now on my list of things to make. If not tonight - then soon!
I am not a teacher but I call kids that kind of stuff all the time (sm)
I call my kids little names, their friends whatever name pops into my mind at the time, my Brownie girl scouts names. Sweetie, honey, sweetie-sweet, squirrel, pumpkin-lumpkin, sweet potato, little sweeties, etc. To me it just signals that I am the adult and they are the kids and I like them, they are important to me. I think it makes them feel at home and comfortable. My children used to think kids were called "little sweeties" when they were younger. My daughter or son would say, "is that her little sweetie?" meaning is that her little boy or little girl. My son had a horrible 2nd grade teacher who yelled at the kids all day. My daughter had a wonderful second grade teacher who hugged them and called them endearing names. Why is it wrong to treat a child like a child? They are sweet and innocent and we are adults, parents and parent-like figures to them. I don't get it.
Can't wait for this one. How can jello not look like jello? LOL!!

Fruit salad, yummy yummy
Yummy yummy fruit salaaaaad!
My grandmas jello salad
It's wonderful and I never had a thanksgiving without it (well I did have a few but I missed it). It's so so easy
1 - 8 oz package jello. (I always use black cherry, mom always used lemon).
1 - 8 oz. pckg cream cheese.
1 large can crushed pineapple.
Crushed walnuts - optional
Dissolve jello in 2 cups boiling water and add cream cheese and mix til cream cheese is blended in and no lumps. Add the can of crushed pineapple with the juice (this makes up for those 2 cups of cold water you would normally add to the jello). Throw in some chopped walnuts if you like and let set overnight.
Fabric softener makes towels softer, yes, but it also makes them less absorbent. sm
Which is, after all, the function of a towel, absorbency. :-)
Anyone have a recipe for the orange/marshmallow jello...sm

All I know is that when I had Dish, if we
had 1 raindrop I lost service. Got rid of it the minute my contract was up.
Dish
I have never had any problems with Dish - they even let me have a package most people don't know about - and probably don't want. - I pay $6.00 a month and gey my local ABC, CBC, NBC & Fox channels - and for some reason I get another channel that keeps changing - right now it is the Hallmark Channel - sometimes it is the biography channel and sometimes Animal Planet -this is a good plan for us because we are trying to cut down on watching TV - and it helps us save $.
We used to have dish
Don't know what Direct TV is, but we used to have Dish. Excellent service. The only problem was when it would get windy it would knock it off track and DH would have to readjust it, but was no big deal. Very easy and only took a few secs to move back into place. Never had a problem with interruptions otherwise. I loved it and would get it again. We now have cable cos it was the best deal to get cable/internet/phone all in one package.
Had all 3 and Dish is my fav!!!
Cable in our area stinks. Direct was better than cable, but not near as good as Dish. The options available on Dish are so much better than Direct. Little things, like being able to check the guide while still watching a show and looking up the info on another program and how far ahead you can check the schedules. It's been about 6 years since we switched from Direct to Dish, so maybe they've changed, but I'd go for Dish. They are by far the best.
Not a dish but...
I have a box for chocolates and a basket on my computer tower under my desk with a bag of jelly beans in it. Everyone started raiding my chocolate so I had to get creative and hide it in another part of the house entirely. lol If anyone else has this problem, the bathroom is great! Its up on top of my tallest cabinet behind a stack of decorative towels. :)
How about a smaller dish? nm

you forgot - any mayonnaise containing dish
any dish with mayonnaise cannot be eaten if left out, uncovered, for ANY length of time.....
there are many dishes one cannot eat if left out....general rule is no more than 2 hours on a buffet table or any table for that matter, in my opinion.....cheese comes to mind too left out.....
food safety is very important and the USDA allows certain things that also shouldn't be allowed....
ever read Consumer Reports? I read in there that the govt (USDA) *allows* a certain amount of rodent feces and rodent hair in things like cottage cheese and canned tuna (the latter I love).....and I read that a long time ago....
better to be safe than sorry.......
If I was landlord and OP did dish thing to me,I would

Cable tv versus dish
Can anybody give me their experiences with cable televison or dish, specifically Dish Network or DirectTV?
I am considering getting one of these but don't know which one to go with. Thank you!
have had all three, Dish Network superior
if you have an HDTV I would not recommend cable at all. It may not be true for all cable companies but Adelphia looked horrid on ours. Had Dish Network years ago and they were horrible in the customer service department...never again!!!
Do you keep a candy dish on your desk?
What's inside it?
I have one on my desk, but it usually only has sugar-free gum in it. Boring I know, but I hate it when my kids get cavities and since they raid my dish all the time, I have to take precautions.  I also don't want to tempt myself all day long with sugar. Sometimes I get sugar-free Werther's candy or sugar-free lemonade candy but those bags are so tiny they don't last long.
Use every last drop of dish soap...sm
I don't have a dishwasher so I have to use liquid soap. I never throw the bottle away because I can't squeeze anymore out. When I'm running my next dishwater, I run water in the bottle and use every last drop. The cap even has enough residue on it for 1 load. Same goes for shampoo and conditioner. Even laundry soap.
I'll often use shampoo for body wash. If you use Suave or VO5 it's usually only .99 a bottle and when it's on sale for less than that I'll buy a few bottles. It's a lot cheaper than bodywash.
I try to do errands and appointments on the same day. Mapped out right so I save gas.
Never buy infant, toddler, preschool kids clothes brand new. Buy at thrift, second hand stores or garage sales. They outgrow them faster than the bank statement arrives. They also tend to stain and ruin clothes pretty darn easily and quickly.
What is your favorite potluck dish?

I have Dish Network and I saw it just fine.
Even recorded it. Too bad I don't know how to send it to you.
Oh, why not try a southern dish, possum
I absolutely have heard of people that have ate this, heard it is terribly greasy. Rabbit is another thing as is squirrel but I have never had, to me it would seem like eating my pet cat. Have heard of all the above except yattle. My mother visiting Mexico years ago told me of having a dish with unborn goat (guess they aborted the babies from the mother goats, ewwwwwww)but then she also ate things like pickled pig feet, pork brains, cow tongue and tripe. My brother and I mostly grossed out. Surprised she did not eat chittlings! Over the years I have stuck to more main stream here in the US and presently hubby and I eat a lot of chicken, not because of it being a more economical meat but more the way they are raised, that being more organic.
Let's Dish the Real Housewives!
I don't think I've ever had a more uncontrollable urge to stick my fist through a television set than when Kelly is on.
Kelly is such a low class, immature, little piece of trash! I never even heard of the b!itch until Housewives this year. I'm not a big fan of Bethany but her little speech she gave her at the bar (after being a half hour late!) really boiled my blood!
I don't think I've ever hated somebody on TV this much before. She totally disgusts me. I hope Bravo drops her off on whatever corner they picked her up after this season is over.
Anyway, moving on.
Ramona is such a jerk to Alex and Simon. Seems she's really holding on to the past. Her husband Mario is no better. He grates on my nerves.
I just love Jill. Can't get enough of her! Alex and Simon have really grown on me.
It'll be interesting next week, Re: the Countess giving her 'talk' to all the middle school students on what being a Countess means, all the while knowing what a train wreck she is now!
Yummy!
I forgot about twice baked potatoes. I also have my own take on that idea and we havent' had it in a while. Mine works well with leftover mashed potatoes too, which to me are always hard to re-invent.
I mix the potatoes with the usual butter, S&P, a little milk to loosen, then add sour cream, chopped bacon (which I store in the freezer pre-cooked leftover from breakfast), then I add chunked cheddar cheese and sometimes mashed roasted garlic if I have it. Mix all this up, toss in a 13x9 or whatever is closest in size, but extra butter on top and toss in the oven to heat and get a little brown on top. Its also great to make ahead and have waiting in the fridge. :)
I think I might try your mushroom addition, sounds delicious!
YUMMY..and
my fav. kind~ quik & EZ
Deep dish; Romance or comedy? nm
Like the Voom programming on Dish Network
our favorites. We were crushed when they stopped showing Voom programing
I put Dawn dish soap in the dishwasher
I did not realize laundry soap and dishwasher detergent do not make bubbles. I didn't have any dishwasher detergent so decided to just a few drops of Dawn. Suds came out of the top of the dishwasher and all over the kitchen. For a few drops, it filled the kitchen. You would think it would be easy to clean up but it was terrible. Soap suds can't just be mopped up, especially when they are 3 inches tall. lol
like they say, revenge is a dish best served cold (nm)
Thanks for this! I will try this tonight....yummy. nm

That sounds yummy, I'm going to
 try it. I am assuming that would be the Italian dressing in the bottle that is not creamy (white?), but the one that likes like oil with seasonings or is it the powdered kind in the packet?
Oooooh . . . that looks yummy
Wish You Were Here!!! (been a long time since I had a weekend like that) LOL!
Sounds yummy!! (nm)

sounds yummy
Thanks for the recipe!
Gonna try it!
Yummy! And I just gobbled down McD's UGH!
LOL. Enjoy the smell and the meal. I deserve to have junk if I am too lazy to make the good stuff. Thanks for the image in my mind. Much better than a sloppy quarter pounder. :)
That sounds yummy!. . sm
I might have to try some! Is this a new product? I will look for it the next time I go shopping. Thanks!
Yummy Recipes
I bought two Foster Farms Chickens, on sale, not over $5.00, well I got three meals out of those two chickens, cut each up for frying the best parts, made chicken soup with the less desirable parts, back, etc. adding my last frozen pack of tomatoes from DH garden last summer, and other veggies, bow tie pasta, sprinkled with fresh chopped parsley and parmesan, Yummie. The other two packages, one will be oven fried chicken, recipe on breadcrumb container and the other from my Campbell's Soup Cookbook, something or other. Not bad for the price!
that sounds yummy!
And being as I'm from the Southwest, one additional layer for me would be green chili.
yummy food
chicken/dumplings, fried okra, fried green tomatoes, pecan pie, hand-cranked ice cream, tea-cake cookies
I know this will sound so dumb, but, do you cook the stuffing before using it in this dish? Thanks!

Your one all-time-favorite Christmas dish and present?
Red velvet cake
Round-trip plane ticket home to my family for Christmas
we have direct, and we can look at the guide while watching tv; DISH STINKS
we started out with dish, had it for 9 years. They would give all kinds of equipment and deals to their new customers but not us - their loyal customers for 9 years. Our remote was being held together with tape for crying out loud and couldn't get the networks with our dish because it was so old, but did they care?? - no freaking way. They only started caring once we switched to direct. Then they repeatedly called our house, asking why we switched and offering us deals. It got real old fast repeating why we switched. So the last time they called i screamed my @$$ off that if they ever called again i was going to sue them for harassment.
It seems like they only care about people who aren't their customers. If you are their customer, they don't give a rat's @$$ about you.
Dish sucks BIG time. But I doubt direct is really that much better. Our equipment with them is just newer, that's all. I can't get cable. I wish there was an alternative.
what is that all important side dish that is a must on your thanksgiving table?
For our table it is Lesuer Green Peas !My Mother always said they were the cadillac of Green Peas and a must at THANKSGIVING ~WHAT ARE YALL'S?
would love to slap more than a dish towel on his head!!!

This sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing. :) nm

Yummy! Who cares how much butter she uses?
She's rich ($$$$$$$$$) at this point.... :) Not another show featuring cardboard and fake cooking sprays? Do we really need another show for "light eating"? Our elders lived long lives on lard...... :) Keep on cookin', just don't eat that heavy stuff every day/night! Enjoy....
