I will absolutely keep you posted on each meal. I will be starting from the front, as seems logical, I guess, so we will be starting with appetizers. I think this falls at a great time being that the Superbowl is somewhere around the corner.....I think!!! There is a new post today and I would love for you to come and visit and leave me some comments. The address is princessunaware.typepad.com/princess-unaware There will be more there than just cooking and of course I would love for you to read any other content posted. For now though, my main focus is the Malia/Paula project.

Okay, the blog has been created and I will be picking up the cookbook tomorrow. I hope you will come visit often. I would love a comment just to say you came by to see the new place. Princessunaware.typepad.com/princess-unaware

thank you for the compliment. We appreciate hearing it! Malia

OK y'all, it's Paula, hands down. People obviously love her just as much as people loved Julia. Now, we have to pick a book. She has such an extensive collection, it may be hard, so here is the list, The Lady and Sons Country Cookbook, The Lady and Sons Too, Just Desserts, Deen Family Cookbook, My First Cookbook, Kitchen Classics, Christmas Cookbook and Cookbook for the lunch-box set. Which one would you like to see tested? If this goes well, I may pick the second runner up next. Malia

Well, so far Paula is winning. Then of course I would have to pick from one of her billions of cookbooks and spend a lot of time at the gym afterwards!!! I had not thought of the Barefoot Contessa or Giada. I have never watched Rachael or the Contessa, but have seen Giada. I think she is so purty! I will certainly let y'all know which chef wins out and where to go for the website. Probably in the next couple of weeks. Anymore weigh ins?

I watched Julie and Julia and would love to do what Julie did. Cook my way through a cookbook. First, which chef would I choose to cook with? Paula, Julia, Martha, Rachael, Sandra Lee, The Pioneer Woman? Would you read? If you did read, which chef would you choose? Wonder if I could actually do it, working 40 hours per week, going to school, three children, my little taste testers. Seems like a fun challenge at least.

I have two old favorites, Peony and Hawaiin Ginger. None of the new ones have caught my fancy yet.

Somebody tell me this is a frickin's joke!!! I have loved her since Clueless !

Yes, we have had a white Christmas in Ga before. It was the year I got my Barbie house. We were so surprised. We have had flurries quite a few times on Christmas day also. I hope it does snow and that it is freezing!!! Makes it feel like Christmas! My vote is for SNOW!!!!!

We came tonight and you had quite the crowd! We had to wait a bit to get a place. I have a box of colored lights that I would love to donate to you. When I put them in the box a few years ago they all worked, so you are more than welcome to them if you would like. Malia

I would seriously suggest reading the books first. The movies just don't add enough to it.

Oh my goodness! I too love this show and all the Housewives shows! I hate that Jeana is leaving. I can't stand Vicky and Tamara! I actually feel sorry for Gretchen. Why does Lynn all of a sudden want to forgive those for the way they treated her. I hope I like the new wife.

We are getting a Red Box soon and I assume that Ridge Road is also. It was a company-wide decision to get rid of the other. We had a lot of complaints about it because it broke CONSTANTLY! We assumed we would have it already, but it hasn't arrived yet. I am sure it will arrive in the next couple weeks.

Thank y'all so much! I always get the best advice here!

I need your ideas! thanks

I am moving Saturday, please no rain! But in hindsight, that must mean that it is going to warm up a bit. I was not ready for this cold weather!

Okay, almost all on this thread are debt free, now how did you do it? Name one thing that helped you the most.

Is she still alive?

I knew someone else that lived in The Overlook and she loved it too!

We are planning on renting, not buying at this time.

Right now our top choices are in Darby's Run, Riverwood and Hunter's Ridge. I am going to look at a house in the Overlook, Battlegate, Settler's Mill and Creekside tomorrow. Anyone live here? I would rather not have an HOA, but I know there are many places whose tenants keep us their yards well without one, which is what I would prefer.

We are looking for a new house and I was wondering if you could help us decide. We have looked in dozens of subdivisions and it is hard to tell how pleasant the neighborhood is just by driving through. Tell me about your subdivision. Do you love it? Can you not wait to get out of there? Thanks, malia

Is this the one located in the City of Dallas or the one on Mt. Tabor?

Come get the mud washed off of your car!!! The kids will love you for it. Malia
