@FluffySandwich We miss you!! Please vent! ....also... you have 999 posts according to your profile thingy on the side of your post. PLEASE post at least ONE more here! Hee hee.. What? No, I'm really not OCD. I swear!!

I love fish!! Guess we'll be heading to a seafood place when you come to visit, @LBuehrle8 . Mmmm... clam chowder.

I like tilapia. You can sprinkle it with minced garlic and parmesan, salt & pepper, then fry it till the parmesan gets crispy. I like to add a little bit of spicy seasoning to it, too. And I fry it in garlic-infused olive oil (best thing ever). Anyhow, even though it sounds horribly calorie-dense with the frying, it's…

For me, too!!

I've been meaning to say - I'm SO glad she's coming home this weekend! I think it'll be good for both of you to hang out and be reassured that she's doing ok. Plus, jello shots!! Nice. New family tradition!
-
I would love for you to make those and tell me how they are!! I wonder if they'd keep outside the fridge.
-
I'm still here!! I'm counting down the minutes until I can leave for the weekend.... 2 hours and 14 minutes to go for me!
-
@orangesmartie I hope your holiday is wonderful and rejuvenating! Thinking of you!!
-
YES!!! Outstanding job!!!
-
Oh yay!! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Her Chief Inspector Gamache series is one of my very favorites. Plus, she's active on Facebook - with real posts that she writes about her daily life and the writing process, etc. It's pretty cool to get that kind of glimpse into who she is.
-
YES! Mine, too! I have never forgotten that story.
-
That thread is such a good idea! I'm heading there now to see if there's any new recommendations from other folks. :-)
-
Yes - good recommendation! I've read the first 2 in this series and bought the 3rd, but had forgotten pretty much everything that happened in the first 2. The 3rd one jumps directly into action without a recap, so I think I'll at least need to re-read the 2nd one. This is a great reminder to do this! Thank you!
-
Ohhh - I meant I'd only read the Percy Jackson series! I haven't read any of the others. I've always been interested in Ancient Egyptian mythology, so I think the Kane series would be very interesting.
-
I will be looking up this series now... hee hee
-
Thanks, @Susieq_1994 ! I've read the Rick Riordan series (the Heroes of Olympus), but haven't read the Kane Chronicles. I will check it out! I started reading the Fablehaven series after my supervisor recommended it. I read the first one and liked it ok (Seth drives me NUTS - he's incapable of doing what he's told, I…

He does??? SWEET! I like his short stories very much! He's a master of irony. I appreciate that very much. Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorites of his short stories.
-
I like lots of Stephen King's books/stories. His Dark Tower series was great, but my favorite is The Stand. I also really enjoyed some of his short stories. I've read the Cassandra Clare Mortal Instruments series, too! But I MUCH preferred Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke and Bone series. The heroine of this series is a…
-
Yes! That's one of my very favorite ongoing series. I snap up every new book as soon as it's released. :)
-
I like fiction, mostly fantasy (magic makes me happy), literature, and detective type novels. But I really will read most anything. My favorite series is by Patrick Rothfuss and is called the Kingkiller Chronicles. It's meant to be a trilogy, but book 3 hasn't yet been written. The first book in the series is called The…
-
Lee Ann! What are you reading now? I'm a book lover, ever in search of the next great story. :-)
-
@ShibaEars - I'm so relieved for you and Freya about the bat! When you posted that, I was like "oh dang... I must've skipped some pages here...." I had no idea you were dealing with that! Confession: I skipped a bunch of pages here on the main thread because I needed to get caught up at work. Heh. Naturally, by "caught up"…
-
@Susieq_1994 I hope you feel better soon!! I'm thinking of you and sending you hugs! Also kind of wishing you lived down the street, because I'd LOVE to take some of the cookies/brownies off your hands. Hugs some more!!!
-
@lilaclovebird I :heart: your gaming confession and you! This is good stuff. I played WoW for years - actually just ended my sub a couple months ago because it was sooooo boring. Anyhow, I enjoy some MMORPG as well... played SWOTR for a bit and Elder Scrolls Online. I'm currently playing Witcher 3 on PS4 and am loving it.…
-
Me too, @FroggyBug! I seem to have lost my "eat good food" mojo over vacation. Yesterday started off well - cardio + decent food during the day.... then went to Red Robin and I had chicken strips & fries. Blew all my exercise calories and then some! Darn it. Maybe I'll do better today, but I'm SO hungry today....bordering…

Hi Everyone!! I'm checking in from page 1513. I had a wonderful vacation, though didn't get to run/exercise like I hoped because there was a health advisory posted regarding the very high amounts of smoke in the air (from the wildfires). It was so hazy and weird the whole time! The health advisory basically said to stay…
-
Ohhh happy vacation to you, too!! Have fun camping!!
-
Thanks for happy vacation wishes! I'm excited! I'll catch up when I get back on 8/31. In the meantime, hope everyone has a lovely week and that progress is made on whatever you happen to be working on. :)

Oh gosh - forgot to say @Tubbs216 - You must be so proud of your oldest for going through with such a grown up interview! I hope he gets the job. Great news that your daughter's tests came back normal! Excellent! I must admit that the name "clotted cream" makes me gag. I have this horrible aversion to milk specifically…
