Hey DC, if you're there, I am (by popular request) making Prime Rib New Year's Day, using the receipe you gave me. It was a big hit. Hopefully I won't be as nervous the second tme around.

Thanks

You'll do fine!

It really is so delicious!

I just may show up!!!!

I tried Dunkin Donuts coffee two days ago, based on rave reviews here. Pretty average coffee.
Or maybe that particular branch wasn't up to their general quality

I don't know what to eat tonight.

Nevermind, I just had steamed fish, grilled aubergines, peppers and courgettes and lightly cooked some spinach in olive oil. Fanbleedingtastic.

I'm baking a ham.

Turi, did you cook or eat out? And what kind of fish was it?? And I swear that when I first read your post, I thought you had peppers and cigarettes and lightly cooked spinach. I thought it rather unusual.

I thought the same thing but whatever floats your boat.

Dunkin Donuts is not anything I'd reccomend to anyone. It's not great at all.

I like MacDonald's coffee better. Or you know what I do?? I make coffee and drink it at HOME!! GASP!

Dude, I thought it was you who recommended it! When I went to the store, I somehow was reminded of you telling in some post that they make good coffee

haha, I'm pretty sure I didn't! I like the Verona blend at Starbucks, but a lot of people here don't like Starbucks. Maybe it was that thread?

I love starbucks myself, so I didn't look for recommendations on that.

Sorry, you are right, I checked, you mentioned that you don't like it. You have mentioned Kripsy Kreme donuts.

JRCX, Pizzaboy, Goombah and SC seem to be the culprits

Maybe it's that Texas water. I love Dunkin Donuts' coffee.

It's 6:50 a.m. here and I am browning off meatballs and sausage. Probably the only time of the year you'll see me cooking anything this early. Actually it smells pretty good in here. I am tempted to steal a meatball for a little pick-me-up.

I'd open my window to see if I could smell it but it's raining here.

Now I see, all 4 of you are from the same place

I was at Wal-Mart and came across a display for Pringles -- "Cheeseburger" and "Onion Blossom" flavors from their "limited edition" "Restaurant Cravers" line. For $1/can I figured WTF. I'm not their biggest fan, but I tell ya, these flavors are pretty dead on, especially the Onion Blossom! ...or maybe I think they're good because I tried them when I was starving...

I love Pringles. Actually, I love chips of almost any kind, except the Salt and Vinegar ones. Mr. Babe refers to them as flavored with a feminine hygiene product.

Any of you know where I can get Danish butter cookies (those round blue tins) in a popular chain store? Last time I bought some from Walmart for my parents and now they want me to get them when I visit them. I tried a couple of Walmarts and Krogers, no luck And also some coffee flavored wafer sticks? All I see is french-vanilla and mint-chocolate. Any suggestions?

After a quick google search, try Walgreens or Office Depot, as well as Amazon.com -- great cookies, I haven't had'm in a while!

Thanks Geoff. I'll try Walgreens. I didn't know office depot had food

I'm so excited - I found out there's a new Bonefish Grill nearby! Got a $50 gift card for my birthday good for there, Outback, Carrabba's, or Flemings (not close by). I actually like Carrabba's, less so Outback, but have a decision to make for my birthday dinner tomorrow.

They don't or JG would have already been there to get poster tubes

Geoff, there are no Carraba's (that I know of) in California, but there is one in Michigan that my parents really love. They took me there when I visited last year and it was very nice. The calamari appetizer was great, as was their entrees. As a matter of fact, last year for Christmas I included a gift certificate for them as part of their gift.

Geoff, btw, I always will remember your birthday. If you recall, my grandson, Evan, shares the same birthday. He'll be two tomorrow. Also, wasn't it Zia's birthday as well?

I looked on my calendar. I have Evan's and zia's birthday listed. I have it also listed that it's the official end of Christmas. It's Geoff's birthday, too?

That quite the Epiphany

Ahhhh. Very good.

He's very sharp isn't he?
