Jo's Kitchen (and yes, the coffee IS on...)

Zimmeh · 06-20-2010, 07:21 PM

I live on the East Coast of Florida. I am about 64 miles from Jacksonville and I was born in Daytona Beach. If you are looking for the Gay community here, Orlando is the closest city and they hold their Pride events in October. I am making plans with my ex roommate and a bunch of his friends to attend.

Good luck on your test tomorrow and good night,

Zimmy

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

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

We're at 106 hours until the

lands and I get all the

I want....

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

Countdown is at 82 hours to

and

in the airport.....

Breakfast is on

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!

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.

lipstixgal · 06-22-2010, 07:45 AM

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.

Hi dark crystal

Well, first I have to correct an oversight...I forgot the crumbly bleu cheese in the salad!

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.

yum that looks delicious

lipstixgal · 06-22-2010, 12:56 PM

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.

Its been a long day!! see ya later leaving some afternoon chocolate for those that need it.
