I just picked up a microwave egg maker for my son who loves egg breakfast sandwiches. I love mine. 54 seconds in the microwave and breakfast is ready.

Meant to say it was a stocking stuffer.

Great! Glad the students are free of fnals, and husband headed home. Happy baking!

This is the Latin for a bachelor party, right?

I don’t see the point of baking for an animal that will gladly eat poop out of the cats’ litterbox. ;-)

Are you a cop? I am an EMT and the cops called us for a “drunk” last night. God bless them. Th scene was full of the usual drama.....the guy was bad enough w/o all the crazies flocking to the scene. Blood flowing from everywhere. His head was beaten with a bat most likely. Never saw an indentation like that on a face. Someone wanted him dead. They may get their way, he was crashing the last time I saw him.

While it might cause some to experience nystagmus, I find it hilarious that Governor Nikki Haley vetted Colbert and found him wanting.

There was light mist when I went to the woods this morning, pretty and quiet, just chilly enough-as soon as I got to the trail over the next hill it started to rain, so I headed back home, walking through the deep woods to stay dry. My supposedly waterproof hiking/work boots are soaked, though, as is my jacket...

When I hear Obama’s minions talk
The nystagmus goes with every word-
I just can’t keep from RMEs
Over the dumbest crap I’ve heard

If it weren’t so bad for our image
I’d see the humor, given a chance-
But there isn’t a cause for laughter
When this is funny to Russia or France

We look like a bunch of buffoons-
Our leaders are just frat boys
And we have an unclothed emperor
Who likes to play with dangerous toys...

My dog does that, too-not often, but she will do it. I scoop everything out of the litter many times a day to keep her from partaking of recycled cat food-I’m well trained...

If planning to attend an authentic stag party anystagmus be willing to leave his lady, his scruples and his cell cam at home.

In the great void you'll find us
We'll be doing a nystagmus
If you eat at the Corral
You're going to get ill.
Not the way we want to get famous.

This drizzly, gloomy and cool day is perfect for making chili, so I’m going to make some-I’ve got bread baked to go with it...

Sounds cool! My daughter gave me this little “clip” that goes on a pan on the stove and allows you to rest your spoon on it - no drips, no wasted sauce or anything you are cooking because it drips back into the pan! She found it at World Market - one of my favorite things from my stocking last year
