Popular Post Kitt Posted September 6 Popular Post Share Posted September 6 Warning: Rant imminent! 1) Ignoring my texts and phone calls will not make the reason I am reaching out go away. 2) that double yellow line defines my side of the road from your side. 3) crawling up on my bumper will NOT make me exceed the speed limit. Don't like being behind me and traveling the limit? Feel free to pass as soon as it is legal and safe. 4) Those funny shaped red signs that say "STOP" are not merely a suggestion, nor are those hanging lights that alternate between red and green. 5) Potato salad CAN be made in less than 5 lb batches. Same applies to pasta salad, you don't need to cook the whole pound box. Rant over. We now return to sending love to tim. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the family reunion why would you need so much lol. Maybe I am biased because I don't really care for pasta salad. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked my kid to boil some potatoes for salad. Instead of cooking 2 or 3 large ones, she cooked the whole (5 lb) bag. She does not care for potatoes so hubby and I had salad coming out the ears. Last time hubby wanted pasta salad I said sure, you cook the pasta while I chop the veggies. Again, instead of cooking for two, he cooked the entire 1 lb of pasta. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CassieQ Posted September 11 Popular Post Share Posted September 11 We miss you tim. Meanwhile I'm sitting here contemplating why I'm on a family trip again when I probably shouldn't be. I don't think I'm going again next year. Once my nephew gets a little older, maybe we can have an auntie/nephew day or something. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we may have been close when younger, often we grow apart for myriad reasons. There are some I don't miss. Thank you, Cassie. tim is doing better and he may be back for short periods soon. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we say caramel apple cobbler??? Perhaps caramelised apple cobbler? But I don’t know what a cobbler is, apart from a shoe repairer…… But anything with sugar and apples has to be good! BTW can anyone remind me of the author of the stories based on an apple farm. They were v good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don’t know what a cobbler is, apart from a shoe repairer…… But anything with sugar and apples has to be good! It's a quick and easy American fruit dessert. Imagine warm sweetened fruit enveloped in soft dough that's a cross between cake and scones. You melt butter in a baking dish and prepare the batter which consists of self-rising flour, milk, and sugar. Spoon the fruit into the melted butter and pour the batter over and bake.
