Hi there, it's supposed to hit 50 today and they are predicting snow for tomorrow, I'll believe it when I see it.

I've been watching the show "sing off" pretty interesting, has anyone else watched it?

Busy day yesterday running around, got my H1N1 shot.

Patsy, I'm sure you will all make the right decision, it's in God's hands now, special prayer for your dad.

Festina, how are you?

Suzie & Helen, things will get better, you're both in my prayers!

Judy, Jeanette and Anthony, all this food talk to making me hungry!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to all that are celebrating birthdays this month!!!!!

do you guys shred your mozzarella before you put it on the lasagna??? We never did until recently but I could taste the difference. My mom always sliced thin slices and put them on, I think I like it better this way.

Hi Guys:

Just a few things I have been meaning to mention for a while:

Anthony - I love the videos you put up. I don't have time to listen/watch them all but they're great. Bring back such memories.

Suzie: I just love the glitter graphics you post. They are so beautiful. Wish I lived in that glitter world. (lol)

Also, reply to Helen: Congrats on your Gabriella. It seems to be a very popular name now. A lady in the office just had twin granddaughters. Isabella and Gabriella. Unfortunately Isabella did not make it. Gabriella means God's strength. My daughter calls her Gabby. I like calling her the full name.

Happy Holidays everyone!

MARYANN L.. I WATCH SING OFF...FINALE MONDAY..

Hi Guys - Ok one more question about the lasagna, does anyone mix egg with the rigotta? I never did, but that is the way alot of people are saying to do it.
I also don't shred the cheese, I just cut it into very thin slices.

Anthony - What a big mush you are???? That was so nice of you....

Hey where is Jim and Suzie

JUDY YES, I DO I FORGOT TO MENTION, SENIOR MOMENTS. MIX IN WITH THE RICOTTA IT MAKES IT EASIER SO SPREAD, THIS WAY IT SPREADS THROUGH, NOT CLUMPS, SO YOU DONT GET MORE IN ONE PLACE AND NOT ENOUGH IN ANOTHER
