Good grief! Enough with the hot chocolate posts!! Every single time? I don't get it, but it is completely annoying. I am sorry you have nothing else to talk about, but your posts are on my last nerve. Not sure why you think they are so funny or cute or whatever, but they are not.

[Angela]

Morning all! We're having a lovely sunny day though not particularly warm. Enjoying the waves on the lake as it won't be too long before all is quiet till spring.

Chris, have a nice visit with your Mom. Hopefully she is having a good day. Would she enjoy a HC?

Belle, no need to be nasty. If you don't care for what is posted, you can always SOB (skip on by)! At least the HC made you come out of your lurking mode! This is your 13th post since this forum opened & it is to complain about someone's content! Really, rather nervy! 

Quiet day in the neighbourhood here. Still having coffee but maybe I should switch to HC! Right, Chris! LOL

See you all later. Make it a great day whatever you choose to do.

Belle, that type of comment is not welcome on this forum. I would ask that you refrain from them from now on.

To all others, please don't comment on such comments as Belle made. It just keeps them going and we end up with many unhappy folks.

Thanks.

Clap, clap on your back, Angela; you beat me to it! Chris we love hearing about your HC adventures!!! I do not enjoy sweet; I'd probably consume the original Aztec chocolate drink that was bitter rather than sweet!!!! Though, I'd not rip someone's heart out to enjoy!!! Gross, historical comment...!
We have enough negative folks in this world, Belle; join us when you have something positive to say.
Swordfish last night with tandoori yogurt marinade was 'licious. Leftovers will be a sandwich salad. We had it with "crashed" potatoes...microwave small spuds until soft, gently "squish", and sauté until brown on both sides in garlic oil.
DH did the crust for the Meat Pie with Onions and Mincemeat. Aroma is enticing! Will have for supper tomorrow with a salad.
Tonight we are having chicken/rice soup that DH made. This morning I made Roti breads from an Aldi mix. It was fun putting the rolled out dough onto a gas flame to "brown" after some skillet time. Will take pieces and put on some grated cheese and heat it to go with the soup.
It's warmish for fall today; cold is moving in along with some rain.
Enjoy the day; waving!

Ann, on my last Starbucks visit I tried the new Chile Mocha frap and it was quite good. I like the combination of sweet and hot.

Chris -- enjoy!  :D

Today the youth had a fund-raiser spaghetti dinner after church so that's what we had for lunch. They did baked spaghetti and it was delicious. Garlic bread, salad, and dessert included. We have a new music & youth minister and he is doing a really good job so we were happy to help them out.

I got all the housecleaning chores done yesterday -- yay! -- so I get to relax today. Planning a trip to Kohls shortly since I have some coupons that expire tomorrow, and then watching football! Packers at 4:30 and then DH's Cowboys play tonight, along with the Series, of course. I will also be enjoying some of my birthday cake!

Hey to all who stop by today ~ have a great day!

Hi to all! A wet soggy day here and raining hard off and on and in the mid 50's. Yesterday was in 60's so I did some cutting back in flower beds, pulled up the died out geraniums and emptied my 2 pots of impatiens that the frost took care of. Now just to get the pots in shed or garage this week. We have some big time raking to do in the front lawn upcoming week so I hope we get a day or two to finish up some outside stuff and get the deer netting on. I need to call the lawn guy and have him here to do some things for me, too.

I just put an apple crisp in the oven so that should be good for a change.

Simple supper tonight soup or eggs or pizza.

DH is out of town today visiting his youngest sister who is in the city in the hospital for heart tests. They think she may have had slight heart attack so she called ambulance at 3 AM Sat. and went to ER and from there she was taken by ambulance to Strong Hospital in Rochester, NY. She had heart valve put in last year up there, too. So this something else that came up. Further testing to be done to see what is up.

Going to watch hockey game on TV at 3 PM today.

Thank you Angela- I had a reasonable visit with my Mom. She is getting worse with the dementia.

Sorry but my HC's are how I am dealing with losing my mother! I will lose her twice. Once to the dementia and once to death. She is 90 and it is very hard to go and have to try to talk to ... who knows who on what day. Some days I get to talk to her and some days I am talking with the dementia. I am truly sorry if that is bothering anyone. It helps me cope and not spend my time crying over something I can not help.
Thank you to all of you who have "humored" me in this. Your friendship has meant more than I can ever say!

posy- How do you make your apple crisp? Do you oatmeal topping or flour? I love a good apple crisp. Would love to hear how you make yours.

Elza- Chili Mocha?? Wow I wonder how I would like it. I love a good mexican HC. It has cinnamon in it and a tad of chili. My son wants to make the french one that is so thick and creamy I am not sure I would like it. We will see.

Ann- I think I would like to try the unsweetened too. Just for a change. A meat pie sounds really good. I am going to do a pot roast in the crock pot for tomorrow. Both DH and I will be at meetings so will not be home too early. So that will make supper for several nights.

Hi. Just getting on here. Both kindled and phone were low battery today. Louie and I are outside,it is warm but thankfully cloudy. DH is watching NASCAR.

NANCY- sounds like you are off and running.

CHRIS- I hope you are enjoying your visit with your mom.

ANGELA- thanks for speaking up.I talked to a friend from home today and it was chilly there. She sais it is supposed to be in 50's next week.

ANN- I am with you on something sweet,but I will drink a HC but it has to have alcohol in it to tame it down.Lol.that swordfish marinade sounds interesting.I will be looking it up.

EMR- I am hoping the packers game is on here. The Vikings play tomorrow night.

POSY-prayers coming your way for your husbands sister.

Well, I better get off here before I get into trouble. See you later.Elaine

[weebill]

CHRIS- we were both typing at once, I love your HC chats-oops I better get off here.I am going to get into trouble.

Chris, you don't really taste the chile so much as you feel it, if that makes sense. I haven't tried it as a hot drink but with the frappuccino I think the cold kind of offsets it. This summer Brusters had a similar ice cream flavor -- a little more heat to it, though. 

I lost my dad to Alzheimers, years before he died in 2009. You are right, you lose them twice. I know how hard that is, but you will not regret taking the time to be with your mom through this. Even if she does not know you, you know who she is and what she has done for you. ((Hugs)) to you, my friend.

[cfniervt]

Elza! Thank you so much! Today was a dementia day. I have heard of a tobacco ice cream that has a peppery taste to it. That might be interesting.

[Angela]

Chris, my heart goes out to you. I know exactly what you are going through as my Mom had dementia as well. It was a tough time for my Dad & the rest of the family. If kidding around gives you a bit of relief, you go for it, girl! (((Hugs)))
