  • Recipe for baked carp (courtesy of my Uncle Lou) Go out and pull a board off an old barn, cut down to size (a few extra inches on either end of the carp). Tack the carp on the board, salt and pepper to taste, dot with butter. Bake in a preheated …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-30-05 AT 02:34PM (CST)[/font][br][br]We had some elderly distant cousins (Alvie and Daisy) go to the home after Daisy had a stroke. Their kids cleaned out the house in record time. We bought the lan…
  • I am a mostly plant-eater married to a cow farmer so unless the chicken comes in a can, I'm usually not interested. You may have changed my mind! x:9 PS - I've been wondering - is your forum name a soup nazi reference? Or am I reading too much i…
  • Yahoo - I'm sorry it took me so long to think of this, but I subscribe to a recipe magazine called Light & Tasty ([url]www.lightandtasty.com[/url]) which is also available in many grocery store check out lanes. They have nutrition information …
  • I can attest to the slimy! I posted a while back about fried okra and gave it a try with some we grew in our garden. I could hardly pick it up to slice and it kept squirting around. Due to my poor frying skills, it didn't turn out. We did discov…

  • This deserves a bump - I finally got brave enough to make it and it is DELICIOUS! The dump and stir is the hardest for me to get used to, because it turns out a little different every time. I also made half batches the first few times to make sure…
  • I am soooo late getting in on this thread, but actually I'm looking for an okra recipe. My beloved husband planted a bunch in our garden and I have no idea even when to pick it, let alone what to do with it afterwards! Can you help?
  • Holy cow!
  • Oh, Nae, she is a doll! I think you had a typo, though - surely you aren't old enough to have a 16 year old granddaughter. :>) Congratulations!
  • I would be the idiot that didn't check her e-mail and have some red-faced higher-up have to come to my office and ask me to leave. There isn't a good way to do this sort of thing, but there certainly are REALLY bad ways of handling it.
  • The rumors and waiting are the worst - just rip the band-aid off and be done with it. Give us an update when you get back, Ray. Glad you're able to give them an opportunity, though - hopefully that will soften it for some.
  • Sheesh, Ray. Not all of us were alive in 1934. ;;)
  • Eek. Can I get a hint? :>)
  • Don't worry, Raymond, if you wear socks with your sandals, there is a quiet contingent of us that will welcome you into our ranks with open arms. And of course, we know that it has no bearing on your HR contribution! :>) Looking forward to hea…
  • Abby, I'd recommend some time at the beach before you head back to school! :>) You have been a wonderful contributor and we have learned lots from you, too. Now, we've learned that life is too short and there's no time like the present. Pleas…
  • Hahaha - I meant the conflicting advice and use-your-common-sense part! Whoo, that was a good laugh.
  • Thanks for the advice, everbody! So, Lori, what you're telling me, is that parenting is exactly like HR? Heck, I'm set! :>)
  • We all knew what you meant (Ray included!) - I got quite a kick out of both posts. (Ray, I know deep down you WANT to moonlight as a mover in NH. I understand. It would be cool.) Around here, I think we have Two Men and a Truck. It's always nic…
  • Yes!!! That's the spirit, Cheryl! :>) Anybody else?
  • Hahaha - I certainly feel that way! I was shooting for a new no-die thread, since none of us have enough to do as it is . . .
  • Wow - that was bad. But just 'cause it's Friday, who else can we add? Ivan the Terrible is all that comes to mind. Anybody?
  • Hey! I shop in Wal-Mart! In fact, I met my husband in the magazine aisle there. x:P Wait, are you trying to tell me something?
  • I love my cats an awful, awful lot, but I love my husband more. Anybody check out the already married page? There's a polygamist - one lady married both her cats. OK, maybe that's my hangup. I'd have to choose only one, and both my indoor cats a…
  • It's a beautiful 70-some degrees here, too, although kinda sticky because we had 1.6" of RAIN! I'm still doing a little dance and hoping my farmer will take me out for dinner tonight. :>) Anyway, I got pretty sweaty pulling weeds a while ago, …
  • I'll try to push it south, Nae. :>) It's cooler today (cloudy), but I'm trying to pick beans in my garden and it is STICKY. Ugh. We've gotten a little rain, but it wasn't enough. Looks like we have a good chance for some more tonight and tom…
  • Toto said "my sock are tan" :>) Happens to the best of us, Toto. You know you can edit your post, and we'd never have known - just click edit at the bottom of your own post that you want to change, and you can add an s (or whatever the case may…
  • I cannot convince my husband that you should wear a brown belt with brown shoes, and black belt with black shoes. It's just once a week for church, though, so I pick other battles. And I cannot STAND sweaty feet! I wear socks just about any time …
  • I hope not. If so, I'm in trouble . . .
  • Cheryl, wanna trade??? :>) We're supposed to be upper 90s today, then 105 tomorrow, then low 90s and upper 80s for a week or so. I'm focusing on that which is to come! I don't believe in global warming - the earth is on a cycle that is much b…
  • Which is worse/more damaging? The water or the politicians? :>)
