I had a long weekend.
LONG.
Like millions of people around all the time kinda long.
The kinda long where you don't get more than
a few moments to yourself.
So it's been a while since I've posted...
and what happened?
Heh.
Well... remember right after BD2 promo ended
and Rob and Kristen were seen in some market
somewhere in England?
And it was all fake this
old that
look at that leg there and that weird arm here...
Remember?
So then we get the above picture
from a lucky fan who happened to be on the same
flight from London to NYC.
Imagine that!
So she even got a pic
to silence the 'pic or it didn't happen' criteria
that seems to rule this fandom.
But no.
Again...
Old pic.
Fake pic.
London was much colder than that pic.
We even got the looniest of the loons
marking her words
that Rob and Kristen would never show up
together in NYC.
No.
Never.
OOPS.
Lo and behold.
Rob and Kristen not only turned up in NYC...
But they turned up
TOGETHER.
Did you ever watch "Sandlot"?
Great movie.
Seriously.
Theres this scene where they are up in a clubhouse
telling this scary story about this giant dog (the BEAST)...
And this kid keeps repeating
FOR-EV-VER
over and over again.
My point?
That's how I feel about Together.
TO-GETH-ER
TO-GETH-ER
You gotta love protective Rob.
That's his girl.
He's not going ANYWHERE.
Got it?
Some dogs will chase their tails
FOR-EV-VER
(see what I did there?)
but they never get anywhere... you know?
They just get angrier and more bitter
because they never get what they want.
While on the right side of this fandom...
We look at these pictures and smile
and get happy that they are
TO-GETH-ER
That's what Rob and Kristen want.
That's how it should be.
That's how it is.
How would you rather spend your time online?
Laughing and being all happy
for two people who found love and happiness?
Being sappy and silly over their continued sightings
loving that holding hands is their modus operandi
and that they save the biggest smiles for each other?
Or would you rather just sit on twitter
bitching and moaning and whining
and making up lame excuses
and lying about and hating on someone
who has never done anything to you.
Being bitter and angry all the time
because Rob and/or Kristen
don't behave the way YOU think they should?
It's good being on the RIGHT side of this fandom.
The GOOD side.
The HAPPY side.
A dear friend of mine sent this to the women he loves...
I thought I would share.
(not sure of the author)
I cannot exist without you -
I am forgetful of every thing but seeing you again -
my life seems to stop there -
I see no further.
You have absorb'd me.
I have a sensation at the present moment
as though I were dissolving ....
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion -
I have shudder'd at it - I shudder no more -
I could be martyr'd for my religion -
love is my religion - I could die for that -
I could die for you.
My creed is love and you are its only tenet -
you have ravish'd me away by a power I cannot resist.
Rob loves Kristen.
Kristen loves Rob.
"I cannot exist without you"
They are ALL in.
Completely.
This post is brought to you by powers you cannot resist.
For Rob... that is Kristen.
And this post is brought to you by red plaid shirts.
And Thomas Sturridge
who loves his red plaid shirt.
A red plaid shirt that I could write a whole post about...
and I just might.
I adore Thomas Sturridge.
Long hair.
Scruff.
Earring.
Blue sunglasses.
and "why the fuck are you taking our picture'
kinda look on his face.
Protective Father face.
As of this writing...
There have just been some random sightings
of Rob and Kristen in NYC.
I kinda like it.
Yeah... OK...
I would look at any pics of them that popped up.
But I do like that they are having down time
time to do what they want
Ready for it?
TO-
GETH-
ER
Because
You know.
I know.
To-geth-er
is how
they
ALWAYS
end up.
Until next time.
Bye for now

Kristen Stewart in @Juicy_Couture "Eton" plaid pants for the Variety Studio Awards. MTC @TheFashionCourt
http://twitpic.com/bhbfwc
@Pam - LOL - I am so not a fan of elevators because the heights so add a small creepy child and I am fighting.
@DK - I think she is cute - I wonder if she was there most of the day or just the past couple hours. I hope she gets the nominee nod - that would be cool for her
For Rob & Kristen Wear It Well
Plaid Rap

Thank you/plaidforevershow
@Ginger
Adorable with a ferocious effect.
I would love me some Rolls Royce CEO on my arm! Sigh.
http://imgbox.com/adiLZK0B
I bet Rob would have loved to attend Variety event just to drive a RR, of coarse they probably wouldn't let him based on how bad a driver he says he is.
It would be so amazing if Kristen won an award, she truly deserves to.
I Loved her plaid pants on her...on me..not so much, I'd look like a table cloth.
One of my favorite songs sung by Jimmy Durante played in Sleepless in Seattle movie.
Lyrics:Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy;
Make just one heart the heart
you sing to.
One smile that cheers you,
One face that lights when it nears you,
One girl you're ev'rything to.
Fame if you win it,
Comes and goes in a minute.
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to?
Love is the answer,
Someone to love is the answer.
Once you've found her, build your world around her.
Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy,
And you will be happy, too.
Here's YouTube link to hear him sing it:

Soon I will see and reveal my new hair color and decide who I am. I am that changeable and feisty (not sweet). Harumph!
BBL.
Good Evening ROSELAND
Now THIS AFTERNOON's comments....That's the ROSELAND that I love!!!!!!
For any that are interested,my daughter ( The next Kardasian...haha)has a video on You Tube about her school ...Southeasternestheticsinstitute...
Here's what I wish I could do for Rob and Kristen when they are traveling. I would like a very trusted, committed fan to organize a team in NYC and LA to, if we know they are coming to these airports, to choose other fans who are committed (interviewed by organizer that they are true fans)to be at these airports with placards or such to raise over their heads and block the paps. If the paps try to run us down, it's a lawsuit for them. Oh, Santa, grant them protection this holiday, one way or the other.
LOL Super I'll have to check her video out, she is a beautiful woman.
Super do you have any interest in doing another recipe exchange this year?
Parker,
There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of interest in the recipe exchange. I guess it's a free world tho, so anyone who wants to offer something, just post it.
KAMI and PL
I would love to. It has been fun every year. I always remember what WIG4 USC used to say..ROSELAND is a group of foul mouthed cookie baking bitches !!!! I'm IN....Hey if only a few recipes are posted, the world will be a better place:)
KAMI
I meant to tell you how lovely your new pic is...captivating eyes...beautiful PINK tongue...glam:)
The Walking Dead has spawned a bunch of new Zombie movies. Can't wait for Brad's World War Z. Also the funny take on Zombies...Warm Bodies. I love Zombie movies!!!
Super, thank you, I am rather 'fetching' aren't I?
Pisteuo,
Thanks for the reminder of that recipe. It is one of my son's favorites and I never think of them.
Quick survey here. I've been having this debate with someone and I'd like to know what you guys think. It is the pronunciation of the word "pecan".
Do you say pea-kahn or pea-can or puh-kahn?
I'm from the Midwest and say pea-kahn
Let's see if I can do this without taking up half the page...
Pisteuo thank you for kicking the recipe exchange off.
Here is a SLIGHTLY different take on Suebee's famous Chocolate chip cookies. I hope she doesn't mind me posting them.
**Ultimate Chocolate chip cookies or cookie bars***
INGREDIENTS:
•3/4 stick Crisco® Baking Sticks Butter Flavor All-Vegetable Shortening
• OR 3/4 cup Crisco® Butter Flavor All-Vegetable Shortening
•1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
•2 tablespoons milk
•1 tablespoon vanilla extract
•1 large egg
•1 3/4 cups Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose Flour
•1 teaspoon salt
•3/4 teaspoon baking soda
•1 (6 oz.) package semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
•1 cup coarsely chopped pecans (optional)
PREPARATION DIRECTIONS:
1.HEAT oven to 375ºF.
2.COMBINE shortening, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended. Beat in egg. Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Mix into shortening mixture until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
3.DROP by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet.
4.BAKE 8 to 10 minutes for chewy cookies, or 11 to 13 minutes for crisp cookies. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet on a cooling rack. Remove cookies to rack to cool completely.
TIP* If nuts are omitted, add an additional 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
VARIATIONS
BAR COOKIES
1.HEAT oven to 375ºF. Follow recipe above to prepare dough. Spray a 13 x 9-inch pan with no-stick cooking spray. Spread dough evenly in pan.
2.BAKE 19 to 21 minutes or until top is golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and center feels slightly firm to the touch. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
LARGE ROUNDS
1.HEAT oven to 375ºF. Follow recipe above to prepare dough. Spray small area in center of baking sheet with no-stick cooking spray. Cover with 12-inch square of foil.
2.PLACE one-fourth of dough in center of foil. Form into a small circle with spatula or rubber scraper. Spray 12-inch square of wax paper with no-stick cooking spray. Place sprayed side down on top of dough. Flatten with round cake pan or pie pan to form a 7-inch circle. Remove wax paper.
3.BAKE 9 to 10 minutes or until light golden color. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet on a cooling rack. Remove to rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE OR DIP
1.DRIZZLE: Melt 1 cup semi-sweet or white chocolate pieces with 1 teaspoon shortening over very low heat. Stir well. If too thick to drizzle, add 1/8 to 1/2 teaspoon more shortening to thin. Drizzle from end of spoon back and forth over cookie. Sprinkle with nuts before chocolate hardens. To harden chocolate quickly, place in refrigerator for a few minutes.
2.DIP: Spoon melted chocolate into custard cup. Dip one end of cooled cookie halfway up in chocolate. Sprinkle with finely chopped nuts before chocolate hardens, or drizzle with contrasting white or dark chocolate. Place on wax paper.
PL LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I say being from the state of Texas where our state tree is the Pecan tree that it's "Puh Khan"
LOL
In the South they say pea-can. In the North they say pea-kahn.
I am in the middle if the US and we say it like peeing in a can. I am the baker but maybe this weekend I can get my ex's recipe for smothered pork chops and scallop potatoes. Lots of bacon in both
I side with Kami - we Texas girls say PUH- KAHN.
Guess I missed all the fireworks. Thank God. Thank you girls for tossing out the trash.
I'll look through my holiday recipes and find something to share!
YAY!!! Litmom!!
Im with TUFF on the airport plan...logistics will be hard to put in place as most fans will have no business at the airports...but im sure it will be worked out. I might just get my opportunity at one of the papz...im so itching to sucker-ball one down.
Somebody must get sacked for allowing one sperm-brained razzo to attack like that on one of the passengers. Are airport securities cashing in too???
@PL, that’s alright i’ll take anything posted.
i’m not a good cook but i like experimenting when i have time.
@Kami and Pisteuo, thanks for the cookie recipes ! i love “no bake” recipes :)

Hi GUYS
I can tell you that it's "PEE- CAN" in SC. I grew up with two trees in my back yard...:)
@Ginger-I also love yoga pants.I like that Kristen wear's Juicy pants with Rob's shirt.LOL.
@gargamel-I will never stop twirling in Liz Lala Land.
Parker those sound amazing!
Ginger pork chops and scalloped potatoes sound good.
Good evening ladies,
I just got home from work and have some catching up to do. I see we are in the kichen tonight and sweets,my downfall.
Here is a super easy no bake:
Salted Nut Rolls
2 T. butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
12 oz. peanut butter chips
2 c. dry roasted peanuts
1 small bag mini-marshmellows
Melt butter, sweetened cond milk and chips. Stir in peanuts and mini-marshmellows.Put in 9 x 13 (greased) pan. Cool. Done!
Hi ladies,
I’m late to the party, it seems. Boy, it’s been a busy day here in Roseland, so I hope that everyone is well.
Parker, PL, Kami – I totally agree with your earlier points – as I’m sure is no surprise. Why do we need to bring the gossip in here when it is so readily available elsewhere? Really? “Why? George. Why?” to quote Rose.
PL – definitely pea-kahn. And I laughed at the picture you posted. Quite a propos.
Tufenuff –loved Jimmy Durante’s rendition of that song, and it was used so effectively in the movie. Some songs just stand the test of time.
DK – what are you planning to do to your hair? Do tell. Do tell. Or as a minimum post a new hat picture so we can see some of your “new do”!
Pisteuo – no bake cookies….I might actually be able to handle them (since I am such an incredibly good cook/baker – cough “not” cough). Thanks for posting them and kicking of the recipe season.
So hi to: Super, Birdie, ali mac, Katy, Annie, wig4usc, Hope, Sue, Ginger, Pam H, gargamel, Stella, Holy, RC, Benny and everyone else who has posted. Have a great day.
Tasters Choice Mocha Flavored Sour Cream Cake
First I have to tell you that throughout my entire childhood and adolescent years I never drank any other coffee than the kind my mother made which was Tasters Choice Freeze Dried Instant Coffee...the nastiest instant coffee ever to be conceived...When I went off to college, I bought a percolator...most of you probably don't know what that was, but it was the first time I tasted coffee like God intended and I never turned back to Tasters Choice....with the rare exception of the following recipe...
Also I have to tell you that several years ago I asked my sister if she had a copy of the recipe....our mother has been deceased for many years and I got to thinking about that cake and wished...oh how I wished that I could taste it again....more than 30 years had passed...My sister opened a drawer in her kitchen the following day and there it was on an index card...I made it and it tasted exactly how I remembered it...divine!
Combine. 3 cups flour, 3 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp salt, set aside.
In a bowl combine. 1 cup butter( beat until creamy), Add 3 eggs...one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
Add flour mixture alternately with one cup sour cream
Filling
Combine 1 6oz pkg semi sweet morsels, 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar and 2 tbsps Tasters Choice Freeze Dried Coffee granules...mix
Spoon 1/3 of the cake batter into a greased 10" Bundt pan...Sprinkle 1/2 Filler mixture...another 1/3 of batter...the other half of the filler, then cover with remaining third of batter
Bake 350 for 1 hour 10 min
Turn out onto cake rack
Cool to room temperature
Drizzle cake with coffee glaze
Glaze.
Dissolve 2 tsps Tasters Choice Freeze dried coffee in 3 tbsps boiling water. add 1 3/4 cups sifted confectioners sugar, stir and drizzle immediately
Hey Birdie - thanks for the recipe. Another good one for me.
@PL
Lemon cookie recipe or was it the Swedish Butter Spritz one? Or both?
I had all of our Roseland recipes in an online folder but they are on my old hard drive that my son is storing, somewhere lost.
***
My new hair color turned out dark (hello, you lovely brunette) from the medium golden blonde choice I used. Who knew?
Sometimes at this festive time of year, I get daring, then drunk, after I see the results. Wine makes the dark go away. Commencing at once. Whoopee!
Thank you dear Rose for the excellent post.
Thank you also for those beautiful words by Keats. Plus, so agree that "It is good being on the RIGHT side, GOOD side and the HAPPY side."
Intruth,
Yes, "Bright Star" is marvelous.
PL,
Oh my! First, loved the pic. Perfect. May the camaras burn of those mean and rude ratzzi. And may Rob and Kristen always be strong, united, clear thinking and calm when in the middle of such an unpleasant storm of vileness.
Second, I must laugh.
"pea-kahn or pea-can or puh-kahn?"
Fellow Michigander that I am, I spent the first half of my life saying pea-cans. Now, living in Texas, where there are pecan groves aplenty, I was laughed at politely when I used that pronunciation. I now say all three. However, I do draw the line and continue to say "ce-mént" instead of "cé-ment";
"vé-hi-cle and never "ve-hí-cle". But, I must add that I do use "y'all" and "you guys" equally, and the dreaded "fixin to" has also crept into my vocabulary.
Hugs for you, Pisteou. That No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie recipe brought back wonderful memories from my childhood. It is so delicious. Will make some this weekend.
Hugs for y'all dear Roselanders.
Life is good. School is keeping me beyond busy plus we just started holiday hours at the boutique.
Respect Rob and Kristen.
Remember, garbage in means garbage out. Don't repeat the mean and nasty of unkind souls.
DK, new hair color?
Super - so glad you found your mother's recipe. It sounds delicious. There's something about the food we ate as a child that is so comforting.
DK - Enjoy your wine. It takes care of a multitude of sins....LOL. By the way, brunettes can have fun also.
Hi FREDDIE
This is lovely guys and Hi PISTEOU...Thanks for kicking off the annual recipe swap!
Gotta get a few hours of sleep. Good night ALL:)
Hi Olivia - Hugs! I hope you are well. Loved the "y'all" and "fixin".
@Freddie
Right you are, and I've been a good girl I have. Fun is a constant, if one makes it. :)
@Freddie
Here;s what I used for the first time! Take a peek, if you seek, how sleek and meek, I'll be as a brunette.
http://www.tintsofnature.com.au/permanent-organic-hair-colour.html
I was a 9D Blonde, who put on 7D Med Golden Blonde & got 7N Med Natural Blonde.
Sillybilly fun.
@Olivia
Hello!
Like you, I do the same, using many variations for fun, of many words. Used to think that "reckon" was a cowboy word, only to learn it is of English origin and widely used! Sure do love words.
DK - Wow, some of those "blondes" are very brunette. Regardless, I'm sure it is most becoming on you. Hope you are well. Thanks as always for the tunes.
((Hugs)) Freddie! So good to "see" you this evening. I'm so glad I peeked in for a bit. Miss this lovely group. A **wave** and ((hugs)) to Super, PL, DK, Birdie, Kami, Holy, Litmom, Gargamel, Ginger, T55, and dear Pisteou plus all that I have missed.
How wonderful that the Roseland Recipe Exchange has begun. Y'all have such wonderful contributions, plus love the personal connection/history that many of the recipes have for you.
Have a lovely evening. I still have papers to grade and a quiz to write.
Forgot to say earlier- Hugs for Smitty, Gruff and Syd and their family and friends.
Take care dear Roseland. This is such a good place. Keep it filled with "good vibrations and karma".
P.S. Saw Life of Pi. It was very good; a bit too long, but enjoyed it. Still trying to get to the theatre to see Lincoln, Argo and Cloud Atlas. Eeek, to many great movies out. Plus, have to get back to see BDII for the third time.
Dk,
I think the cookies were Norwegian sugar cookie but I know they had lemon on them, pretty sure it wasn't a spritz.
Since I started this silly pecan talk tomorrow I'll find my pea-Kahn bar recipe and post it because it is sublime. I'll try to find that conversion table again too for those Roselanders outside the US.
Olivia,
Somehow I can't picture you saying "fixin to" not when your writing is so wonderful. I imagine you must switch between Midwest and Texan in your speech quite often.
Freddie,
I sent you an email last week, I hope it didn't go to spam.
@Freddie
Haven't had a drop yet, and a pizza's on it's way. You're kind and I am well. Glad the tunes, swoon ya.
Freddie...
Just made my heart soar knowing someone else appreciates the relavence of that song in that movie. TY
Olivia, lol you're 100% right about how we act whenever someone says pea-can here, and we have been known to butcher the English language once or twice. LOL those things we might be talked into changing every once in a while, but as I'm sure you've learned from experience, "Yall" is the one word we will never give up!
And for those of you who aren't completely sure how we use "Yall" in Texas, it is used when we talk about more than one person. Here we never say it to or about one person. I've actually seen people tell someone who uses it in the singular tense that they're wrong.
The recipes sound so good. I love holiday recipes.
LOL PL!! We all say "Fixin' to" here...and we also say a lot of "I tell you what" which in Texas is a complete sentence.
Oh my gosh, Kami, I just heard that expression from that Texan I have told you about. He started a sentence with, I'll tell you what and I burst out laughing.
LOL we just CAN'T help ourselves!!
We also, well in West Texas, say "Ahh Ight" for "Alright"
Really interesting article - also interesting the nominations will be announced on the 13th which is the same day as the premiere in NY
http://pagetopremiere.com/2012/11/kristen-stewart-is-a-possible-nominee-for-golden-globes-2013/
I remember when I first moved South, someone told me that they were hot in their house so they had to "crack" a window. I was horrified and asked why didn't they just open the window. Needless to say I got a lot of teasing about that one. Haha
DK, I like the new color! Brave soul you are! : )
I'm such a no fuss, basics type of person. My short hair is light brown with gray sprinkled through. I had a gray streak start in my early 30's and it has slowly, over many years, just dusted through the rest of my hair. I had to laugh, for a while, my students said it was chalk dust, but I certainly cannot claim that any longer, especially since we now have no chalk with our whiteboards and smartboards.
OK, I am off to do some more work. Have a good evening. Will peek in during the early morning with my cuppa.
LOL Tuff! I'm so southern I knew exactly what you meant lol
"too" many movies
: )
Kami, I thought Aah ight was a hip hop or rap thing. Randy Jackson always says it. I have to add that my knowledge of Texan lingo comes from Friday Night Lights, lol.
Tuff your comment made me think of something I hadn't thought of in a while.
My husband's younger brother's first wife was...well to use a southern expression..."Goofier than a pet coon". This girl was CRAZY and did not have one ounce of common sense.
So my brother in law gave her all of their tax information one year and told her to take it in and have someone file their taxes for them...she took them to a taxidermist!
PL lol nope we said it all the time in West Texas
I know, this was the reason I used to get up in the morning and would hurry and get my coffee so I could see what had happened on the blog over night! I miss those days.
olivia - you have to tell me how Cloud Atlas is - that is a movie I am really looking forward to seeing.
Kami..
That is just priceless!!!
Pecan Squares
Crust
3 C Flour
¼ C + 2T sugar
¾ C butter or margarine
Blend crust ingredients. Press firmly into bottom of well-greased jelly roll pan. Bake crust at 350 for15 minutes.
Filling
4 eggs slightly beaten
1 ½ C Brown Sugar
1 ½ C light corn syrup
3 T melted butter or margarine
1 ½ tsp vanilla
2 ½ C chopped pecans
Mix all filling ingredients adding pecans last. Pour filling into baked crust and bake for 20-25 minutes or until firm. Cut into squares when cooled.
Make sure to thoroughly grease the pan especially the corners as this can be difficult to get out of pan. Parchment paper or a silpat can be used to line the pan to make serving easier. Recipe can be cut in half and baked in 9 inch square pan also.
Dk and Olivia,
My hair has gone from my natural dark brown to it's current medium blonde. I refuse to let the chalk dust take over and I started in my early 30's also.
@Pisteuo
You must be right, I'm so sexy that the pizza delivery man looked stunned when we saw me!
@Ginger
I missed the first run of Cloud Atlas but will catch it in the art theatres. Ebert said it is "a work of art".
@Birdie
Salted nut rolls! I die.
@Pist
Meant "he" saw me but either stuns. Better get to enjoying my wine, for I have no excuse for these silly errors yet.
@PL
No chalk dust for me either, for as long as I have hair! Then, weaves and wigs will run the color gamut, by my daily whim.
Here's a website for conversions of US values to metric.
http://www.jsward.com/cooking/conversion.shtml
@ALL
SORRY JUST LURKING THIS WEEK CAUSE I HAVE COMPANY. CHEERS FOR THOSE PROTECTING AND RESPECTING KRIS AND ROB.
WILL KEEP CHECKING IN FOR UPDATES ON THE OTR OPENING.
WILL KEEP FAMILIES WITH LOSSES IN MY PRAYERS. SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND YEARS APART WE LOST MY MOM AND MARTY'S DAD AT CHRISTMAS. IT IS A FRAGILE TIME IN OUR MEMORIES.
@Birdie, love your easy recipe. can’t wait to try.
@Super sounds so delish.
saving everything.
i think i’ll start with Birdie’s easy one first & work my way up to the harder ones.
@PL, i’ve heard it pronounced so many different ways.
most interesting one is p’Kahn.
sounded so posh.
@Kami, that’s so funny, one of the consultants in my project is from texas.
he always starts his sentences with “i’ll tell you what” in his matthew mcconaughey voice.
and he really sounds like matthew – just sounds, not looks … lol.
@olivia, i’m watching Life of Pi this weekend.
read the book so i can’t wait to see the movie.
@Ginger, i hope kristen gets nominated. praying …
hi to Freddie, Litmom, DK, tuff and everyone else who posted & lurking today.
@DK - it looks amazing. You have to call me and tell me how it is when you see it
If any of you got tickets
Powerball drawing: 5 - 16 - 22 - 23 - 29, Powerball: 6
@Parker - it looks really good for her I guess since she was at that event all day today - they just posted her round table interview. I don't even care if she wins - the nomination will be a world of good.
Ok I know I'm probably alone in this but I think the way Matthew McConaughey sounds sexy when he talks...of course I am probably a little partial to Texas twang.
Kami,
You don't have to be Texan to find Matthew and his drawl sexy. I remember being at one of his movies and he appeared shirtless and some woman in the audience said very loudly, "Hello! And that's why we're here".
PL lol....I just LOVE his accent.
Night Pisteuo
I have to call it a night, but what a pleasure it was!
DK,
We will see the do, right? Didn't you go darker or was it red before?
Pisteuo,
Will try yours soon as well. I love anything with peanut butter.
Freddie,
You can do these no-bake bars, no doubt!
Parker and PL,
Two more of my favorites, toffee and love pea-kahn pie,so the bars look wonderful.
Ginger,
Bring on the pork and potatoes! The video was hilariously scary. I hope they had an AED outside the door.
All the recipes sound great and will surely help my diet.
Olivia,
I loved Argo and will try to see Lincoln this weekend. My sister said the same thing about Life of Pi, so I am hesitating. So many great films out and coming.
Kami,
Aren't you glad she isn't a blood relative? What a hoot!
Good night!
I'm calling it a night too.
'Night all.
Night PL.
Birdie, I'm very glad that she's not only a non blood relative, but that my brother in law left her.

@Kami-I'm with you,I like Mathew M.he's so sexy when he talk.I saw him 2 years ago jogging in Hollywood Hills with Lance Armstrong.He's so nice and handsome in person.
Checking in before I go to sleep...
DK - thanks much, I'll hail the white flag when needed, thanks! I saw the bounties, retweeted it too, love turning the tables on them. I wonder if their friends and family know what they do for a living. Funny enough, many of them reminded me of the cop in the Sand Lot clip Rose included! LOL
Goodnight, everyone! I'm in for a recipe exchange too, my specialty is Pumpkin Cobbler! My hubs who doesn't like pumpkin pie loves this one!
Looking Through The Eyes Of Love
Regine Velasquez:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBVtZg6zUGM
Please, don't let this feeling end
It's everything I am
Everything I want to be
I can see what's mine now
Finding out what's true
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love
Now, I can take the time
I can see my life
As it comes up shining now
Reaching out to touch you
I can feel so much
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love
And now, I do believe
That even in a storm we'll find some light
Knowing you're beside me
I'm all right
Please, don't let this feeling end
It might not come again
And I want to remember
How it feels to touch you
How I feel so much
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love
Thank you/PinoyMyx
Come As You Are
Patti La Belle:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSpp9SgmVH4
You're a victim of the life you lead
In your heart of hearts you can't concede
That you could be so much more
Can't breathe in this atmosphere
You're afraid you're gonna disappear
Into yourself
And become someone else
Come as you are
I'll be here for you
Come as you are
Let me adore you
My open arms are waiting for you
All you have to do is come as you are
Doesn't matter how you paint your face
There's a beauty that you can't erase
That mirrors the heart of your soul
(Who says) angels aren't suppose to cry
(Who says) that you have to let your life slip by
And never reveal
The passion you feel
Come as you are
I'll be here for you
Come as your are
Let me adore you
My open arms are waiting for you
All you have to do is come as you are
You've got to gather up your confidence
And wear it like a halo
Open your eyes so you can see... yourself
I will always be right here for you
Just show me what's real
Try to reveal
The passion you feel
Come as you are
I'll be here for you
I'm waiting for you
All you gotta do
All you have to do it
Come as you are
I will adore you
All you have to do
Is come
Come as you are
Thank you/martijn1978

I enjoyed reading all the comments I missed whilst sleeping :)
Matthew McConaughey is one of my fave actors, he is delish to look at and to listen to!!!
I'm part of the pronunciation police in my family, my nephews and nieces wind me up and miss-pronounce things on purpose lol
Cheers to Roseland! As always,the best place to be.
Off to work. Have a great day everyone.
My cuppa in hand, peeking in for a moment.
Last night was a lovely, magical and positive evening in Roseland. Am smiling and twirling.
Have a beautiful day. As Rose always tells us....
The best is yet to come.
Hugs for y'all.
Hugs for Smitty, Gruff and Syd and their family and friends.
Life is good.
Respect Rob and Kristen.
It has been sweet to read the old Roseland this morning as I sit here eating my oatmeal with puh-kahns. (Maybe it's the lake between us, PL....or maybe it's just because my mom's family is originally from "Ohia".) ;)
Take care and have a happy Thursday, everyone...it was great to see all of you. ❤
Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?
You see, George, you really had a wonderful life. Don’t you see what a mistake it would be to throw it away?
Dear George, remember, no man is a failure who has friends. Thanks for the wings, Love Clarence.
It’s A Wonderful Life – my favorite movie ever. :)
Morning Ladies
@Second chance - I love that movie - makes me cry though
So many new cute video's coming out still from promo.
Robert - where or where have you been hiding?
Hey, ya'll crack me up! Being from the Pacific Northwest, with my dad hailing from northern B.C. Cananda, and my mom from Oklahoma (with Texas parents), I'm not sure if I say it "puh-Kahn" or the "posh" "p'kahn", but something like that!
Love all your responsiveness, to me, and to one another. This is a sweet place! *Waves to Olivia*--
I'm going to try to type in my complicated Nanaimo Bar recipe. These are yummy bars that used to be sold on the Washington State Puget Sound ferries as well as the B.C. ferries. It's simple, but has three steps. And it is SO GOOD.
Naniamo Bars
Bottom Layer: 1/2 cup butter
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups graham cracker crumbs, rolled fine
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Filling:
1/2 cup butter
3 Tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix (dry)
2 cups powdered sugar
Top Layer
4 1 oz. squares semisweet chocolate
1 Tablespoon butter
Place 1/2 cup buter, egg, sugar, cocoa and vanilla in top of double-boiler. Cook until butter melts and thickens slightly. Mix together crumbs, coconut, and nuts.
Combine crumbs wtih sugar mixture and press into greased 8 x 8 inch pan. Refrigerate 1-2 hours.
Mix 1/2 cup butter with pudding powder and powdered sugar. Blend well. Spread on chilled 1st layer.
Melt chocolate and 1 tablespoon butter. Spread over previous layers and refrigerate until firm. Cut and serve.
INTRUTH do you happen to know if vanilla pudding mix is what we call custard powder here in the UK ? If so I make tray bakes like that without the final layer and no coconut in the base. We call them Naomi bars. I think it probably was adapted from the same recipe. I do know they are my brothers favourite :)
ok let's try this again.
Ali, lol I got curious about the custard powder and instant pudding comparison so I googled it, and yes you can use pudding powder in the place of instant pudding mix. The site I saw was talking about how they wanted to make Naniamo Bars lol...and they couldn't find custard powder in the States.
I have never heard of Naniamo Bars and they sound delicious Thank you Intruth for posting them, I'm going to try it.
Ok on a completely silly note, and it's a littlle gossipy, but someone mentioned something yesterday on the blog about Gavin Rossdale had been caught with his hand on the Nannie's hind end and there was photographic evidence that every tabloid site splashed everywhere.....Well today they released the name of the woman who it looked as if he was playing with her 'bum'....LOL the lady in the picture that everone assumed he was playing grab ass with, has been identified...it was his SISTER. LOL
morning ladies !
@Intruth, isn’t it wonderful here?
like someone here said, we don’t always see eye to eye on some issues but …
on food, we all agree we love it !!!
and of course lots of great opinions on topics that are not RK-related :)
gosh that nanaimo bars sound yummylish !
my xmas cookie basket will have so many varieties !
@ali, i think you can substitute custard powder for pudding mix.
may not be the same consistency cos i understand custard powder is cornstarch-based.
while pudding mix is gelatinous.
@wig, i’m very interested in your pumpkin cobbler.
the only pumpkin dessert i know is pumpkin pie.
so i’d like to see your cobbler recipe.
Thanks PARKER and KAMI for your help. I can't believe you don't have custard powder (it's old fashioned but like comfort food for me). I do make my own custard from scratch if necessary for trifles etc
Does anyone make Mars Krispies?
I chop up and melt about 4 mars bars with about 2ozs of butter, it's quite a funny consistency as the mars bars are hard to melt. I then put in enough Rice krispies to soak up the mix, press it into a greased tin (10inches by 10inches) Chill this for 1-2 hours. Melt about 100g of milk chocolate (Cadburys is my prefered choice) and pour over the top of Krispies, chill again and then cut into squares.
Very simple and yummy.
Intruth,
That Nanaimo bar sounds really good. The name of it almost sounds Native American, I wonder.
Ali, I've never made Mars Krispies but they sound good too. I'm not a big chocolate fan but since everyone else in the family is, I have to indulge them, lol. Plus I like bar recipes over cookies because they seem quicker to make.
Kay,
Really? Ohia? I'm trying to picture someone saying it that way because I never thought Ohioans had different accents, but I guess each area has variants. Like Da Yoopers from the UP here.
That reminds me, anyone want to rent a ridiculous movie get Escanaba in Da Moonlight, it's a Jeff Daniels movie and it is really funny, but definitely not an intellectual movie.
okay, so i have this machine washable cashmere scarf that i love.
cos it’s so soft, warm & not itchy and it’s in my fave color, lavender.
bought it last year but have never attempted to wash it because i’m scared of what will happen to it.
has anyone ever had a machine washable cashmere and can tell me if they maintain their shape after washing? would hand-washing be better?
parker,
I have washed wool sweaters in the washing machine with pretty good luck. Make sure it's cold water, slow spin cycle. I've put them in the dryer on low or no heat for about 5 minutes to fluff them and then air dried the rest of the way. Use fabric softener too because I think that helps keep the yarn from tightening.
Hope it works out.
Believe it or not nearly every county of Ireland has an accent all of their own!! Quite a few of them I find really hard to understand what the people are saying!! You can also tell what town someone originated from by their accent :)
@PL thanks!
only used it twice last yr.
but this week, i forgot to grab some extra scarves when i traveled to my client site.
so i ended up wearing it all week & just found some dirt/stain on it this morning.
so now i have to wash it & wasn’t sure if i should trust the machine washable label.
and i looooove this scarf & don’t want it to turn into hankie :)
Ali, I've never made the mars crispies but I am going to get the stuff and make them this weekend because they sound amazing...and I intend to indulge myself this holiday season...they may have to oil the doorways to get me through them by the time January rolls around lol.
I was reading up again, because I'm that crazy, and most sites actually say that the custard powder works better than pudding mix in the recipe that Intruth shared...which I'm also making soon.
Ali, I'm glad to know that some place other than Texas has that same accent differential. Texas is a rather large place, and there are 5 distinct areas here...West Texas, where I am from has a twang, the panhandle has less of an accent since they are close to Colorado, East Texans have a drawl like the old south, the hill country has a twangy drawl, and down here in the Gulf region....NO ONE seems to have the same accent, but the one I've noticed the most has been a mixture between a Texas Twang and a Louisiana cajun accent. LOL we are a weird state.
okay sorry i've been out of touch, but i'm inches from calling my surgery a failure. i am having a lot of trouble keeping up at work and the dbs dumaflitchy isn't even noticeable any more, but i have gone back to lurking so i've been keeping up
my last final is tues at 4pm so i should be around for at least that 3 weeks before school cranks back up
meanwhile i do have some good news
the local news mag is going to run that story. december 1st which is saturday
i also intend to get the bands website going during the holidays so i will let you guys know about that too.
did anyone see "Hart of Dixie" tuesday pm? they made a reference to R&K, it was pretty cute actually
and while we're on the subject, my favorite Matthew M. moment came from "Dazed and Confused" they were trying to determine whether or not it was ok to give the freshman a ride he goes "i dont know man you got any smokes?" the kid replies "no, is that ok?" and mm in his best east texas twang replies "be a lot cooler if you did man.....be a lot cooler if you did"
so, anyone know where we can watch a video of ks's roundtable deal. and BTW how cool would it be if after all she's been through this year, ks walks away with both rob and a golden globe nomination?
just saying
This little dutch girl is jumping up and down, she wants play with the Texans too. Haven't got a clue what you're talking about well I do but wouldn't be able to distinct what state they would come from. Could tell you about the dutch ones, haha, it's a small country but hell, we do have zillions of dialects.
I do have a soft spot for the southern states. Yeah I like MM's drawl, is Jackson Rathbone not a Texan as well, love his accent. Oh and the New Orleans one.
Recipes?
Is this the Christmas tradition on Intoxication?
I can definitely work with that. I'm slowly starting the Xmas menu, 4 days of cooking, I might find some new ideas/inspiration from you all.
LOve sue.
KAMI we are a weird and wonderful lot :)
ROBERT I'm so sad to hear you have been having such a bad time!! I hope things start to improve for you soon, you seemed to be getting on so well..
I'm pleased the article is going to be published. Does the paper have an online version we will be able to read it on?
SUE what is the traditional meal in Holland at Christmas time? My neighbours are Polish and their tradition is fish (can't think at the moment which type)
hey ali
yeah i believe if you google the lafyette independent it ought to take you to it
ps don't worry too much about me i'll be fine
ROBERT I'm looking forward to reading it. Will we get to see a picture too?
Good morning/evening ladies and gents.
@Ginger-waves.I really like Kristen's pajama yesterday.LOL.Did you see the back?
@Birdie -I'm going to try that simple recipe of yours this weekend.
ali
actually if you just type in www.theind.com [after friday] it will go straight to their website.
and yes there should be photos, but i must warn you that i am a lot better looking in person than i am in photos
i mean a lot
@Robert - waves - there you are !!!
Here you go this is her round table interview from yesterday. I know you will be cheering with us if she gets a nod
http://www.robstendreams.com/2012/11/new-kristen-otr-roundtable-interview.html#.ULfFW2fUlYU
@Holy - I did - She looked cute, I would rock plaid pants anytime
Funny thing that Robert, I'm a lot better looking in my head than when I look in the mirror lol
I went to the carwash on my plaid jammies...same color as kstews ...and black shoes...my nieces gave me the "she's gone nuts" look.
It felt so liberating!
Happy Day!
@Ali
Been meaning to say that, I looked at your blog profile and admire/share your love for those movies! Clang, clang, clang went the trolley.
Shall return later.
Dk oldies but goodies :)
Sue, Jackson actually calls the town where my husband and I lived for 16 years, one of his hometowns, Midland, Texas
Ali, I love all the movies you listed to, and I love "Meet me in St. Louis" "Have yourself a merry little Christmas"...love the scene where Judy Garland sings it to Margaret O'brien. I am also a black and white movie, fan. Some of the best films, in my opinion, ever made are in black and white.
Arsenic and Old Lace, Boys Town, It happened one night. Philadelphia story. Penny Seranade. I think if a movie has Cary Grant in it, then I will love it. I think there's something really special about the movies made in the Golden age of Hollywood, and I'm addicted to them...and uh Christmas decorations...lol
that should have been listed "Too"
@Ali, a lot of people eat hare or rabbit, I can't say we really have a typical Xmas dinner tradition. Though they do like to splash out more on the extravagant stuff.
As I'm half British and my partner is Irish, I have the traditional turkey and all the trimmings plus trifle, even if I find it disgusting. Not mad about turkey either actually. So Christmas Eve I cook what I like and that's Italian. I go for the 3 or 4 course menu. I love it.
Hi, gang!
Here's my recipe, @Parker, I think you'll love it:
(not my original recipe)
3 beaten eggs
15 ozs pumpkin
12 ozs evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
18 tsp salt
1 12 tsps cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp vanilla extract
18 14 ozs cake mix (yellow)
1 14 cups unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup nuts (chopped) I use pah-kahns!
Mix the first 8 ingredients together; pour into an ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan.
Sprinkle cake mix over the top; drizzle with butter. (try to moosh out the big lumps)
Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.
Top with nuts; bake for an additional 15 minutes.
I like to serve warm with whipped cream, could also serve with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
KAMI one of my favourite things to do when I get time to myself is to watch old black and white movies. I have to agree Cary Grant is tops. He acts without acting, so smooth, if you know what I mean. The young Paul Newman is right up at the top of my list too.
SUE I'm not a major turkey fan, I do love the baked ham though!
Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies
These large cookies have a classic lemony flavor, a chewy texture, and glistening, crackly tops created with a double sprinkling of sanding sugar. (Martha Stewart Living, August 2005)
YIELD-Makes about 20 (3 1/2-inch) cookies
INGREDIENTS
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup unsalted butter, (2 sticks), softened
2 large eggs
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl; set aside.
Put sugars and lemon zest in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed 30 seconds. Add butter; mix until pale and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Mix in eggs, 1 at a time, and then the lemon juice. Reduce speed; gradually add flour mixture, and mix until just combined.
Scoop dough using a 2-inch ice cream scoop; space cookies 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Flatten cookies slightly with a spatula.
Sprinkle tops with sanding sugar, then lightly brush with a wet pastry brush; sprinkle with more sanding sugar.
Bake cookies until golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks using a spatula; let cool completely.
Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
Just home from work and catching up!
PL-- I think Nanaimo is Native American... it's a city on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, so "American" as in North American continent. Their native tribes' names for places have often been preserved.
Ali mac-- that's so amazing you have the Naomi bars. And yet, Canada is full of people from Ireland, Scotland, England, and so on, I guess it's not that amazing! Some great Irish cook must've gotten a job cooking for the ferries and "invented" the bars by adding the coconut. Custard powder sounds yummy... as do the Mars Krispies! I was going to ask if you were Irish in another post where you mentioned Black Eye Friday. That sounded totally Irish to me ;)
There are so many yummy ideas here in all the recipes! Love it!
Oh, I love "Meet Me in St Louis", too. My daughter literally wore that movie out in VHS form. She watched it until the tape broke from so much rewinding! But I still love it. We got to see it a few years ago in a showing at a refurbished classic theatre on the big screen and Judy Garland's eyes as she sings "The Boy Next Door" made the audience gasp, so liquid and beautiful! Vincent Minelli did an awesome job of filming her so beautifully.
Kami-- I also love black and white films. I consider any movie made since 1960 "new"! I guess only the classics seem like real "old movies" to me. Philadelphia Story is on my Christmas list this year! I would LOVE to see Rob play Cary Grant's role and Kristen play Katherine Hepburn's role in a revival of that story!
wig4usc, your pumpkin yum sounds delicious, too!
Parker, so right-- a very fun place!!!
Careless Talk
Billy Joel (1983):

Thank you/VinylAndTapeForever
so my american lit class decided they would all go see the movie lincoln. which is perfect because the class covers the period from 1640 to 1865. so one of my students asks [the day before in class]"is this the one with the vampires?" and everyone laughed but i swear after nearly 3 hours of pure dialogue. this movie could have used a couple of vampires
i'm just saying
Intruth,
If not native American, I was going to guess Eskimo maybe. There are a lot of Indian named cities around me.
Different subject but I'd like to draw on the wide knowledge base of Roseland. I know many of us have dogs and I've been thinking of adding another dog to the family. I have a 10-year old female who has been fixed, spayed, surgically altered or whatever the term is. Would she be more accepting of a male or female dog? I always thought I'd get another female but I've noticed that females seem to be more aggressive towards her when we are walking. Is that a common complaint?
This is only my second dog as I had cats all my life, still do so the pecking order of dogs is not that familiar to me.
Robert, I hate to hear that about Lincoln, I was debating on whether or not to go see it. I think I'll wait for the DVD.
PL, I found with my dogs in the past, Wolfie's grandparents...that with an adult Female it's better to add a male puppy. That way the male will not be so likely to dominate her, where as a female added in they will tear each other apart. We kept a female puppy from one of our litters, and everything with the three dogs...before Wolfie was born...was great, but once the male died...the females fought constantly even though they were mother and daughter. We had to separate them. When we brought Wolfie into their family, all was right with the world again.
Each breed is different though, so that might just have been a Boxer Trait
Hi ROSELAND, I've been AWOL for a few days and haven't had a chance to read all the comments. I will say some of the recipes are looking yummy!! I hope I get to try some of them soon.
KRISTEN: Can I just say that I thought she looked beautiful yesterday at the Variety event. Yea, I wish her shirt didn't have a hole in it but maybe she didn't know, LOL. Maybe Bear or Bernie got hold of it. But, truthfully, she had a gorgeous glow about her and some of the photos of her are amazing. In a couple of them, she had a smile on her face like she was trying to say "I know who I am and where I am... and know where I've been and where I'm going" ...
LIZ IN LALA LAND ...
OH, I forgot to say that I'm hoping and praying that Kristen will get a GG nom.
ROBERT -- So, did you like Lincoln? I heard it was really good but haven't seen it yet.
And did you see BD2 and how did you like it? Just curious.
I just wanted to tell everyone to "hold the fort down" and keep the drinks flowing in LALA LAND because I'm going to be away for the next 12 days. I'm driving to Florida and taking my parents on a cruise. I'll be checking my email but probably won't get to check-in on the blog. I'll miss everyone!!!
LIZ IN LALA LAND ... TWIRLING TO THE CARIBBEAN ...
I'll be thinking about y'all while sipping a margarita!!!
Hey ladies and gents,
How’s it going?
Robert – I’m sorry that your surgery hasn’t produced the results you hoped. That said, you sound like your usual positive self and that’s pretty incredible. Congratulations on the upcoming newspaper article. I’ll make a point of looking for it – and better you in pictures than me.
Kami, DK, wig4usc, InTruth – all the recipes sound fabulous. We have a cookie exchange at the office, so these will come in handy. And I will of course, have to sample them.
PL, Kami – I wish I could contribute to the dog discussion but I don’t have enough dog experience to be of any help. PL – it would be nice for STFU to have a new friend.
Ali mac – love Cary Grant’s voice and accent…..
Oh and Nanaimo bars are very good. Sweet, but very good! They’re a favourite here.
HI to Birdie, Olivia, Kay, LIZ, Sue, Ginger, gargamel, Holy, Second Chance and everyone else in Roseland.
New Rose post! Move on, Darlings.
not sure if anyone will even read this but …
guess the magical night was too good to last …
@PL, i’m not sure if it’s a matter of gender but more of personalities.
i think as long as both aren’t alpha females, it will be fine.
if it’s a puppy, i think it can be trained but if grown, you might want to take your dog & observe her interaction with the other dog before you decide.
off to disappear for a while & wait for a new post.
the current one – i can’t, i just can’t …
i’ve said my piece about it & can’t say anymore without adding to the cause-and-effect.
maybe i’ll try baking some of those cookies this weekend.
going to a dinner party & will take it with me – excited to try & hope mine turn out well !
parker,
Thanks for the input. My dog is very anxious so I don't know if a puppy would be good or bad. I probably should just leave it alone, but, you know how it is when you see some of those rescue dogs and you just want to take them all home?
I know what you mean about it only lasted one night. It's kind of why I brought up the dog topic. If you're inclined why don't you post this on the new blog and maybe it will start a different line of talk. Up to you.
@PL, i know what you mean about those rescue dogs.
if only i wasn’t traveling so much, i’d keep my dog (she’s with my parents) & maybe have more.
as to posting on the other one …
i know i’m really staunchly stubborn & weird about this.
but it’s like participating would be so against how i feel.
funny cos the initial reason why we’re here is cos of our “curiosity/admiration” for RK.
so why would i be so bothered by all the gossipy chit-chat & talk centred on RK …
the sarcastic writing of Rose is what drew me in but the funny comments was/is what makes me stay.
& i just don’t find anything interesting about all the repetitive dissection of every detail.
that probably makes me sound so snooty & maybe i am :)
but it is just so friggin monotonous & to some extent disturbing.
gosh & i was hoping to get more recipes before christmas lol.
we haven’t even gotten to the entrées yet lol.
we jumped right into desserts … well, understandably so cos that’s the best part of the meal :)
parker,
We did appetizers last Christmas but desserts are always the favorites.
My suggestion as far as comments go, talk about what you want. That's how it used to be. In time, I think it will be again depending on how many are willing to wait it out.
