old news. those on the ground/front lines have been saying that for a long time.

Just wish some of them would put up a sign or change their phone message to say they are closed for the day/weekend

Sounds good and I've heard of that type of recipe before .... I'd saute the onions with the sausage though or at least saute the onions in the fat from the sausage. When the onions are cooked a bit, I would then add the hash browns to brown just a bit before putting the sausage back into the pot and adding the broth. That change would give you a bit of cooked onions and not just put in. JMHO. I wouldn't cook it for too long or you might need extra broth / milk. The potatoes are going to thicken the soup. Let us know how it comes out!

so glad to see him up and walking after seeing that vehicle & the damage. very very scary ...

everyone looks intense on making the rolls enjoy & bring back the recipe .....

:fingerscrossedforgrandducklings: great pics!

Night after the BIG FEAST .... so you ready to eat again We will be having some of the wonderful leftover smoked turkey & rice later this weekend, but we are going with a bit of a lighter dinner tonight. Grilled Trout Sandwiches with lemon & dill Spinach Salad Cherry Pie (leftover from yesterday) What are you having?

oh my ....

Not right now, but I see that it will start up again at 11.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours LR! Me cooking? Just a little bit to finish the preparations for the stuffing to go into the turkey DH is smoking, I've got to do a bit of straightening the house as we have company coming for the afternoon. How about you?

Happy Thanksgiving. May it be happy & safe for everyone.

Morning ..... I have coffee made.

Yesterday we got the turkey breast deboned and is marinating. Wild rice done for the stuffing & pies are finished. Today we will stuff the breast and smoke it. Friends are bring the sides, so all I need to do is to prepare the appetizers: cheese & crackers, salsa & chips

St. Louis. Wonderful visit wishes to you and yours. Stay safe & warm. Gather memories for your lifetime.

thoughts to everyone ....

I send them out. They will be signed and addressed on Friday & mailed on Saturday or Monday. I pretty much only send them to people who sent us a card last year. and I don't do the "year in review" letter.

awesome! have lots of fun and be safe.

Morning

Will do the "night before" prep we have to do for the breast we are stuffing & smokin' tomorrow. Baking the pie we are having on Thursday morning, and assembling the "snacks" just before arrival. Friends bringing everything else, so all I have to do is a quick straightening of the house and table prep. aahhhh ... easy-breezy but tonight we are having spaghetti in meat sauce, garlic bread & salad.

great news

Both looking for to the holidays and dreading them as well - and probably for the same reasons

full moon ... unsure understandings .... wierdness I'm glad to see you are doing better (or is that feeling better), any surgery is tough & recovery can be dicey. I'm happy I'm not worse than I am and I'll be ok .... I'm lame and no one cares, but I can post to cyber space. Good to have PCOM to post on, and "friends". 2011 is around the corner and I know it will be better.

about posting ....

These individuals were apparently "lured" to come to this show that would show all the good work they are giving to others and show some of their work (and get donations from other oprah fans ???!!!!??!?!?) then those individuals were recognized for their work and got to attend this show. They were not forced to be there, they got a "bit tricked" ... they may not know about the taxes on freebies. But I do need to call "foul" as some of the gifts are HIGH tax items and those attending may not have cash to send for the tax ..... a gross up can take some of that, but ultimately has to be addre
