I have my own little story and will try to offer the Reader's Digest version. A week ago I was out cemetery hopping and taking photos in the countryside. Found a new cemetery and within the first glance saw my family name on a headstone, and then another and another and another. It was a wonderful feeling. I am not sure if this line of the family is connected, but since I have a box full of papers I began as a teenager, it's worth finding out. There was an older gentleman on the grounds who offered a hello, and by chance I said, good day and mentioned my excitement at finding my family name. When he found out who it was, he told me he was one of them. W-O-W. Then he says, come in to the church, you gotta meet my wife. So off I go, and just by chance, it was their turn to clean the church, this little white church in the middle of nowhere. As it happens, there is a family reunion at the end of July and they are looking for a couple missing links. Who knows? I might be the one holding the key! As a sidenote, I wonder if a genealogy thread might be of interest to any of the kitchen peeps that are doing their own searches. It might be neat to share your own great links, or stories of finds. Just a thought, on less than a cup of coffee (oh my!) Have a good one, all. |
Good Morning Ms. Freyja,
Ancestry.com is a paid site that costs $19.95 a month, but they have records from all over the world. Have fun at the family reunion!!!! I am happy to hear that you may have found the missing link in your family. When I found my biological dad seven years ago, I was literally beside myself. Unfortunately, he would never really put his heart into the relationship and now I don't talk to him. That is why my tree has three different branches on it. One for my mother's side of the family, one for my dad who raised me and one for my bio dad's side. My bio dad's side of the family was ok towards me, but I kept hearing comments about how I did look like him and that hurt. I no longer associate with them and I am happy with the family I do have, my three brothers with my dad and my mom. I second the thread on ancestry. That is a good idea... Good luck and have a good Monday, Zimmy Quote:

Good Luck Lipstix!!!!

:bringcoffee: Good morning kitchen dwellers! :)
Before I forget...I know that Arwen had started a geneaology thread...I'll try to remember the name and bump it if I can. I had started a family tree on ancestry.com at one point. That much was free, but if you wanted to be able to click on those enticing little leaves and get info from others, then you have to pay. It's an interesting process though... My sweetie is still :alarm: but I know she's going to want something hearty to wake up to...so I'll get some ham steaks and eggs going to add to those yummy muffins and bagels. You had me at strawberries and cream Freyja :cheesy: We're at 106 hours until the :flying: lands and I get all the :kissy: I want.... :cheer: |

what kind of dressing goes on Cobb salad? Does it have it's own or is there one that is traditional? Quote:

congratulations and good luck! |
what kind of dressing goes on Cobb salad? Does it have it's own or is there one that is traditional? Hi dark crystal :) Well, first I have to correct an oversight...I forgot the crumbly bleu cheese in the salad! :blink: The traditional dressing is made from: 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1/4 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 tsp. salt 3/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 3/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 1/4 tsp. dry English mustard 1 small clove garlic, finely minced 1/4 cup full-flavored olive oil 3/4 cup salad oil But I know some people leave out the crumbly bleu cheese on the salad and use bleu cheese dressing instead...up to you. :) I like the traditional way...with the greens laid out on a plate and bands of each of the other ingredients...looks pretty like that and makes it easy to customize your bites. :giggle: |
Good morning/noon......
Finally working from home and loving it! I had forgoten how easy it is to just get up, start the coffee and then start the day, responding to email and correcting problems or issues without someone running into the office with something else to distract me! It even gives me a few extra minutes to check the threads and respond if I feel like it! Unfortunately, Freckles the dawg has already jumped the fence once since I have been home. So her punishment is me watching her like a hawk every time she goes outside. I'll have to wait until payday to get all the necessary hardware for the "invisible" fence....but I'd sure like to know where she is escaping from so I can make the area more inaccessible. I am not real comfortable with putting a shock collar on her...... I hope everyone's Monday is productive....... |

Anyway, heading for some food now and nourishment then watch tv for a while before bedtime. Tomorrow only one class thank G-D!!

Good evening everyone :)
Sorry I missed getting in here in time to make dinner...the evening just flew by. I think it's because I have my mind on :flying: and :beachkids: and :love1: :giggle: Welcome back JoS...glad to hear you're working from home. I do too and I LOVE it! Awesome job on the interview Lips...bravo! Morningstar...safe drive on the roads :rrose: I promise to be in time to make breakfast in the morning :cheesy: |
Good morning kitchen peeps,
Grey skies greet my day but my soul is full of sunshine. i woke up very very early and I always love that, bouncing out of bed, turning the coffee on, attacking the to-do list and getting a handle on things. i do admit that my energy will be anything but peaking around 3 pm this afternoon. Ah well. JoThanks girl for checking into Arwen's thread and giving it a bump. I will take a peek. DC- good to know you are enjoying the choices of music each morning. Gosh, imagine you and me on a road trip, the collection of CD's to pass the time, and totally sing-a-long!!!!! :giggle: Lipstix- oh wow, those gals in the inappropriate interview attire, even after they were instructed on the style! But, sometimes, and this is where it is NOT fair, those kinds of girls can snag a job, without the right credentials, simply because the male interviewer has his judgment, let me say, a little clouded. Well, no one said this world ran on a fair system. Whatevah! JoSchmmooze- good to see your smiling, and a very relaxed self- swing by for a cuppa java. I'm sure that was the lure, am I correct? Or was it the fabulous 80's music that gets our toes tapping and hips swaying? Do tell! So, why is Freckles on a mission to escape? Seems I recall that she was so panicked that you were going to go away again? Is she having a bit of anxiety? Has she jumped before? Keep us all posted about the progress and success with your invisible fencing, please. For those that remember our fabulous breakfast guy, Musicman, I got to see him on chat for a few minutes yesterday. Busy as every, he had a few minutes to chat and then poof, he was off taking care of things in corporate music land. It's Tuesday so let's get this party started!!!! |
Jo mentioned last evening that she would come round and make breakfast. I do know, she is the best at prepping all the favourites for Scoote.
How many hours is the countdown now? But, since I have to eat something as soon as I wake up to stay on top of my blood sugar, I'll put out a small tray. I've got some homemade apple raisin muffins, and I put cranberries, raisins and walnuts in them as well. Chock full of healthiness, yup! And a carafe of orange juice (low pulp). The pot of coffee is a Columbia blend I picked up yesterday. Standard fare for encouraging the eyelids to open. And last but not least, this music could keep Jo company while she is working in the kitchen. (I soooooo don't care if this was a fake job; I totally loved their music....back in the day of cassettes and 8 track tapes, woo hoo, I'm old peeps, hah hah) Have a good day everyone! |
|
:bringcoffee: Good morning kitchen dwellers :)
Thanks for getting the music going again Freyja...it does help me dance around while I cook. You made me giggle with the 8-tracks...I had a collection of those as well...and my first car had an 8-track player...oh yea...I was stylin' in that 61 VW Bug :giggle: Countdown is at 82 hours to :lips: and :gimmehug: in the airport..... :cheer: Breakfast is on :linecook: eggs cooked to order, sirloin steaks (cuz I do love some steak and eggs), crispy hashbrowns, homemade biscuits...and you have your choice of country style sausage gravy or Scoote's favorite chocolate gravy (what the heck, we're celebrating!). For fruit we've got some fresh watermelon all sliced and ready, and some sweet juicy red seedless grapes as well. Dig in! :eating: Hope you all have a lovely day today....I'm off to refill my coffee cup, check some threads, answer a few work emails (I love, love, love working from home) and I'll be back. :rrose: |
Well I see someone has been up early me too but to tired to make any breakfast. Seems like the date is postponed until she gets back from a business trip in St. Louis Missouri. Oh well such is life. I will just go on with my internship as planned and the rest of my life. If its not meant to be so be it. But it would have been nice to have at least one date before she left. Hell I don't even know if I like her. anyway, just three more days and school is over with Whoo hoo. NYC Pride is this weekend and I'm gonna try to get a group of people together after the parade!! Wish me luck see you guys later have a 10:10 class.

Good afternoon Kitchen dweller!! Took my phelbotomy assessment and got an 81 out of 97 so that is good, can take it over if I want to. Just gonna study the test questions for sure. So where is everyone, I guess they are working this afternoon have to wait for after dinner to be in contact with people. Ok time to relax, dogs are asleep. Maybe I'll get some coffee from DD and a brownie that would be nice wouldn't it. Don't really need the brownie though do I!! Setting out coffee and tea for those who need it.:tea:

Yes time to declutter and thanks for the encouragement I need it. Tomorrow two exams. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. Then on Thursday the phelbotomy and assisting with minor surgeries. I called the internship place and they didn't know about me. I really think that is stupid!! and bad on the school's part. Anyway the girl I spoke to said she would speak to the doctor and call me back. Haven't heard anything from anybody yet. Anyway time for some TV and relaxation. Its been a long day!! see ya later leaving some afternoon chocolate for those that need it.:chocolate::chocolate::tea:

Hello friends :)
Just a quick post tonight and calling out for chinese food...had a doctor appointment for my son this evening (yes, we have an awesome family physician practice that has evening hours)...and he has them baffled. On and off mild fever, a bizarre rash, some isolated joint and muscle aches, fatigue... They took blood, urine and a throat culture...and will be talking to the folks at the medical school tomorrow. At the moment they're thinking it's a viral infection and his (always very sensitive and reactive) skin is flaring up...the joys of redheads with ultra fair skin. They want to be careful and check for lyme disease and anything rhuemitoid (and hmmm...that's not spelled right but I'm too pooped to check). Long evening...time to relax with a bailey's coffee...extra whipped cream. 70 hours baby :lips: |
Good Evening Jo Jo,
Hope the dr's can figure out what is wrong with your son....Elijah has been the same way and a week ago, the poor little boy couldn't eat bc he was spitting up. The wonderful state of Florida is waiting for you to return!!! It has been hotter than hell down here and I hope the sun stays out for your vacation. Have a good night, Zimmy Quote:
|
Good Evening Everyone,
It has been crazy around here the last few days. I found out yesterday, that the local community college took almost 75% of my gen ed classes from DeVry, so I will only have to take a few gen ed's like physics, microbiology and anatamy. I had my oldest niece stay the night lastnight with my best friend's niece, and those two kept Elijah running around... Hope you all are having a good night and I am going to leave the night light on for those who might pop in during the night.. Hugs to all of you!!!! Zimmy |

Rise and shine its breakfast time. This morning will be steak and eggs with hash browns, sorry no bacon or sausage someone else will have to bring that to the table. bagels lox and cream cheese and onions, croissants, jams and jellies and strong coffee and tea, sodas, Diet and regular. OK gotta get ready for my 8 am class damn they start early in that school:blink::blink::byebye:
|
Good morning everyone :)
:bringcoffee: Well the son is enjoying breakfast in bed...no school for him because of the fever (and the school is doing their last 3 days of 2-1/2 hours a day...academics and tests are over...so no biggie). We are crossing fingers for good news today, but he does have them stumped. You're right Lips...lyme disease is the big worry and, although his rash is atypical, it's a possibility. They took blood and sent it out, so we should know soon. The good news is that if it's treated quickly and completely with antibiotics it usually responds well...so I'm hanging onto that. We are in an absolutely tick-infested area...and I read online last night that half of the ticks tested in upstate NY are lyme-positive. Lovely. Another good reason to get moving to Florida! Well...that...and the beach :beachkids: ... and the :love1: Thanks for getting breakfast for us Lips...lovely as usual :) Zimmy... that's such good news about your classes being transferable! That will save alot of time and work and you can get your degree that much sooner. Awesome! :lips: 58 hours baby.... :stillheart: I'm off to refill the coffee and do a little work...check on the kiddo...but I'll be back. Have a great day everyone! |

Hello Kitchen dwellers, well its a hot and sunny day just like I like have the a/c on and all is well. got a good grade on my pharm final don't know the final grade but I'm sure its gonna be alright. Can't wait until September then I move out of fucking NJ for sure. Too congested and too cold in the winter time and too much snow. Tomorrow is assisting with minor surgeries and phlebotomy final which should be easy. Gonna have to study tomorrow morning I'm beat for the day been up since like 5:30 AM to walk dogs. well don't know whats for supper maybe someone could whip up something nourishing and good. That would be nice!! Have to go and walk dogs for a while be back later to see what goodies have been left and how everyone's day has went leaving coffee and tea for those that need it.:cheer::bringcoffee:
|
Wow where is everyone tonight? Had dinner and had dessert too. Just have to have my yogurt and the night is done!! Jo hope your son feels better soon!! Let me know how his tests turn out. OK
|
just a quick hello, been a crazy week so far, hoping ya'll are having a great week.
|
Ack..just wrote a big long post, and managed to delete it instead of submit...pretty much par for the course today!
Thanks to all of you for your well wishes for my son (affectionately known as Rooster to Scoote...for that standing-up-straight-in-the-back bright red hair). The test results won't be back for a week, but they are convinced that it's Lyme's disease and are treating it accordingly. Three weeks of antibiotics, and they assure me he'll be as good as newl :bringcoffee: Gonna' keep dinner simple tonight with taco night...crispy warm corn tortillas, and bowls to serve yourself to the perfect combo of spicy ground beef, homemade salsa, shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce and fresh diced tomato. Mmmmm..... For dessert I'm craving some old fashioned banana pudding...the kind with custard, banana slices, and Nilla wafers... :girleating: :lips: baby....day after tomorrow... :stillheart: Hugs to everyone...:rrose: |
Oh I'm so glad that you found out what is the matter with your son. Make sure he takes his antibiotics and the symptoms will disappear. Its a horrible disease to have I feel for him. I still have good and bad days. If the day is too long for me I feel it very tired so don't be surprised if he sleeps alot, thats just par for the course!! PM me if you want to talk!!

Good Morning Jo Jo,
The sun is shining today with a high in the 90's and the sky is a gorgeous baby blue with no clouds. I fell asleep yesterday around 615pm in the recliner watching The First 48 and woke up an hour later and went for a power walk. My friend's husband is going to look at my car today, to see why my engine light comes on when I run the a/c for a bit. Having no a/c in Florida during the summer is no fun...My bro thinks it might be a relay switch... For breakfast, I am thinking maybe having some homemade biscuits with sausage gravy, eggs, hashbrowns, teas<iced and hot>, coffee<all types>, soda's for Scoote and plenty of juice and water to keep us hydrated.. See you all in a bit, Zimmy For the music selection, how about the new song from PitBull and Machel Montana to wake us all up??? I love the beat to this song... Enjoy!! [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8pHqjXDHo8"]YouTube- Pitbull - "Alright" feat. Machel Montano[/nomedia] |
Gm All !
Just stopping by to say Hello. Jo hunee I hope your son will be ok, poor kid. I can't even imagine what I would do. I'm happy to see you're coming back real soon to be with your sweetie :) Good luck with the house. :rrose: |
Good morning friends :) and thanks for making breakfast Zimmy :rrose:
:bringcoffee: I'm loading up on the coffee this morning for sure...a bit of a :seeingstars: morning here, but only 34 hours til my plane touches down and I get the Scoote refill I desperately need :love1: Rooster is home...managed to get the antibiotic down this morning with only one gagging episode (anyone have any tricks on helping kids learn to swallow pills??). The sore joints and fever are already gone with just 12 hours on the meds...but he's still covered in the rash and very, very tired. Based on the way his body is reacting though I'm guessing they diagnosed correctly...the antibiotics are clearly already helping. He spends a couple days with Granny while I'm gone (i.e. being completely spoiled and coddled)...I feel better knowing that we've figured this mystery out and gotten the medicine off to a good start before I go. Today is a busy one for me...work...kid care...and cleaning the house top to bottom (the Realtor is going to try one last open house while I'm gone...crazy guy). I'll be back... Hugs to all.....and :lips: for my baby... |
Jo a good trick on getting kids to swallow their medicine is putting the pill in some pudding rich and creamy kind and thick so they swallow a gob full of pudding and the pill with it. Got two exams this afternoon then I'm done. Fell back asleep this morning for like two hours couldn't make the breakfast, thanks Zimmy for filling in. OK have to have lunch then study some more. see you guys later. Jo good luck with the house and your trip to Florida!!
