This is fun! Aside from wonderful memerges, I have several really cool Christmas ornaments, my favourite mug which was a Kindle gift from Heather (excaliber/Hez), two gorgeous pieces if art feom Om, and the most awesome UDBB cookbook. But most of all, highly prized and especially treasured are the p...

Last night I was going to make dinner for a friend who recently had surgery. I had just started when she texted me and asked to postpone (long story..) so - we had a delicious supper! :D I made salmon with gremolata breadcrumbs on top, asparagus roasted with some garlicky olive oil and a really nice...

Welcome back indeed! I remember you and your story and am so glad to hear you're horse shopping. I hope to see lots more of you.

Fergusnc, Swing! I can just see that! I would love to ride to that! (Maybe THERE is my hidden Freestyle) Not to hijack the thread, but a few years back when we were doing lots of freestyles, my trainer was looking for music for her FEI ride (can't remember what level...). She had a big moving Hanov...

I thought that was a fairly reasonable summation.

Korean food! Yummy... Japchae - stir fried vegetables and beef with korean glass noodles and a tasty sauce korean barbecue pork ribs have been marinating since last night served with rice, kimchee (of course) and a few side dishes like seasoned spinach, korean cucumber salad, seasoned bean sprouts.....

I received my package, an absolutely marvellous knitted knee blanket that I adore. I canuks magnetic calendar that made me chuckle , a vanilla candle, which is my favorite scent, and I love them all. I enjoyed opening all the little packages. Thank you Don Giovanni. I'm glad the package arrived..so...

I received a package the other day from my secret Santa tuddy! I love the ornament - I've tried to upload a picture but can't resize it properly. I'm too tired to think straight, but it really is a cool horse ornament. I have several - a bit of a collection - and I really like this one. thank you. T...

One comment before I quit and leave the political forum. I'm not entirely sure why calling someone in a potential position of power who espouses things that are violent, racist, misogynistic, impractical, impossible and totally out of the realm of reality (a wall across the border, funded by mexico?...

Dear Musical Comedy (love your screen name BTW) Please don’t ever put words in my mouth or deign to assume that you know why I’m happy/sad/frustrated/irritated… If you think Trump is logical, you are most definitely entitled to your opinion.

this is fascinating! Thanks to everyone who has answered. I'm really happy to see the back and forth positive discussion. I should have used my memory - I remember both Nader and Perot running, but I guess at that point wasn't paying much attention to parties. Tabby - that description of our elector...

Your politics, as a rule, are much more interesting to follow than ours. This time around though, it's almost surreal. Here's my ignorance talking though..... are there only ever two choices (i.e. Rep and Dem) on a ballot? do you have minor parties, like our Green party, for instance, that we just d...

He's never going to win the nomination. First, he is WAY TOO DIVISIVE. Second, he is not what most modern day Republicrats like. He's leading the polls because the media continues to cover him and that is who people think of when asked. I sure hope you're right. This guy is a whack job. In your opi...

Clanter's post about the dog motivating his daughter's class to do well made me think of this article I saw today. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/05/johns-hopkins-masters-degree-dog_n_3875440.html I think it's fantastic that Johns Hopkins did this!! (and I love the little cap and gown)

Its such a horrible and complex situation. I hope our new PM holds to his promise, but I think the arbitrary year end deadline is too soon. There's no reason that I can think of that the process can't be started and even have some refugees settled by then, but the sheer logistics of finding/triage-i...

Went to Nevis for my honeymoon. We landed in St. Maarten and then got on a terrifyingly rickety little plane with a flat tire for the short flight to Nevis.

I made Don Giovanni's Pad Thai last night. It was very good; I love the flavor of that sauce. I had to substitute sunflower seed sprouts for the bean sprouts.

It was really cold, windy and rainy here yesterday so comfort food was the order of the day. Parent teacher meetings after work, so no time to make a "serious" meal. I had seen a recipe online for 1 pot Pad Thai and made that - very yummy, even though I didn't have the bean sprouts that wo...

You have to find the humour or you'd suffocate yourself with the grim realities of life. My MIL lived eight hours away from us.

that is unbelievably rude and disrespectful. I would go utterly batty if I had spent that much time, money and effort and had everything practically dessicated by the time they arrived. arrggghhh.
