Boil eggs to devil.

[Harriet]

Well, I bought eggs to devil, so I'm following you, Nancy, but I may not catch up. Not sure there will be time, but I do have a little egg plate with only 12 cubbies, so maybe I could fill that one. The large egg plate is put away for good until 2012, I think!

Best wishes for blessed's dd's finals. Who sleeps in until 11? People whose bodies know there will be a lot to do the next day!!!

A very Card-y Christmas everyone, and a whole Index of good will.

May we all File our hopes and dreams well, & complete them successfully in the New Year.

I did not cook eggs long enough to devil so I"m going to be eating soft boiled eggs for breakfast in the coming week but Dr. oz recommended 'em so it's not all bad that and v-8 is fast and healthy!

I've baked cookies today.
Mixed up dough for dgd to use with her cookie cutters in her gift.
Made crab dip.
Wrapped gifts.
Filled the bag to go to dd's.

[blessedw2]

thanks for being so sweet dnancy!

I only did one shelf in refridgerator and I may just do one shelf today. (so there ) a little at a time gets it done too.

I was up at 5:15 to take ddolder to the airport.
she is going to the rose bowl. lucky girl.
now to start.

ddyounger is playing her new drum set. She loves music. piano, guitar and now drums. I thought they would drive me crazy but they are in the basement and she keeps time really well.

I know I have more to do but I am so tired. pushing myself to stay up until 9 pm. I do like getting up early

my listed goal for today is to clean out my car so hear I go.
cleaned bottom shelf in refridgerator,
rinsed off floor after vacuuming
made soup out of cauliflower. - cooked cauliflower head in chicken broth, chopped onions, bay leaf, thyme. then took it out before super soft, cut up and roasted the cauliflower in the oven 425 with olive oil, kosher salt, pepper.took out and threw fresh grated parmesan reggiano on top. then threw it back in the broth, added dill - immersion blendered it and then added creme fresh, stirred well. very good for throwing things together in a pot and using up what I had.

made a apple tart and used left over apples for applesauce. I always think applesauce is difficult and am amazed how easy it is.

[Nancy]

Hello!!! I was just checking in here to say hello to blessed!!! I miss seeing you all the time in PWYC, but I am guessing staying in this thread helps you stay on track more? I might should try that.

It IS inspiring to see all that y'all are accomplishing over here w/your cards.

I better get busy. I'm not going to repeat my list from PWYC... but s2s must come first. It's not even on the list, but I know I won't accomplish a thing till I've done that. Pam & Peggy certainly had my number with that 1st commandment.
