Good evening all

Got work done, then laid down with Scoote for a bit...too tired to cook and coughing too much to feel like going out, so my sweetie is zooming off to McDonald's to get me a Big Mac and fries for dinner. Very naughty, but sounds so good right now. Damn I love that woman!

Jake and Matthew...what a great idea to have a little cake and coffee here for our Zimmy! You guys are sweeties...I knew it!

[JakeTulane]

Good Evening Jo,

I think given what you all have been though the last couple of days.. trying to get Rooster off on that plane.. you both need to stay home.. eat some sinful McDonald's (which sounds good to Me NOW.. thank you.. laughs)... and just enjoy some quiet..

Ok.. you need to keep that sweetie business quiet.. (looks around).. because well you know.. I am the Mr. Prickly Porcupine.. grins..

My only other wish.. would be that I would like to be in Florida right now.. because we could have all gotten together for Zimmy's birthday.. I would have cooked us a fabulous Italian meal.. and then we could have enjoyed coffee and cake... in each other's company..

I hope that coughing takes a hike soon for you.. and I am glad Rooster was finally able to fly up this way.. and finish off his holiday..

Hugs to you both.

As Always,
Jake

ps. I am enjoying some french pressed goodness as we speak.. sans cake.

Good Evening you,

That salad sounds great.. I am a huge fan of antipasto.. which is similar in some way to a greek salad..

A shame you got home to late to make the Chicken Marsala.. however, there is always tomorrow evening.. smiles.

I think given it is the Day of your Birth.. you should just eat cake all night.. and call it dinner.. and then have it again tomorrow morning for breakfast.. grins.. with some french pressed goodness.. yes?

Big Hugs.
Jake

I gave it to my stepdad, I won't eat the rest of it.

I am thinking of making Chicken Marsala for dinner and having cake for dessert.

Good Evening You,

That sounds very good! French pressed coffee sounds even better than dinner. I'm having a Healthy Choice TV dinner and I'm headed up to the grocery store to get a cake.

Hugs my friend and I had a blast today!

My birthday cake was delicious! I bought the chocolate lovers delight cake from Publix, it was good but very sweet. I need a huge cup of French pressed coffee now, please Jake....

I got a wonderful present from my two nieces. They both used the pottery wheel for kids and made me this cute bowl with their initials on it.

I'm blessed with wonderful friends and lovely nieces and nephews.

Sweet dreams to all of you,

Zimmy

[Zimmeh]

Get to feeling better!!!

Sending you both a huge piece of birthday cake.

Night,

Zimmy

Heaven forbid if we associate anything sweet with Mr Porcupine over there

LMAO

Good Evening You,

Thank You for the French pressed coffee. I promise, I will go to the store in the morning and pick up my first French Press coffee maker.

Hugs my friend,

Zimmy

Good Morning Everyone,

I am going this morning to treat myself to a belated birthday present! I am going to buy a French press coffee maker and learn how to use it. So, if you see smoke coming from my direction, you can giggle.

Have fun, I am off to get ready.

Hugs,

Zimmy

Hmmmm....I suspect that Mr. Prickly Porcupine is the equivalent of Scoote's mean ass.... ....but, don't worry, your secret is safe with me!

And your idea sounds great. I'd even volunteer to bake the cake.

Good morning everyone!

I flaked out early yesterday evening and watched tv from the bed...didn't actually get to sleep until late though. Somehow Scoote and I got to watching nature documentaries about the Florida everglades and the introduced species (like pythons and cane toads) and what's being done about them. Very interesting...but I think the python hunters are a bit insane...trudging through waist-deep alligator infested waters to hunt giant snakes? Ummm...no thanks!

Hope you all had a good evening...and I'm watching for smoke from up north....just in case Zimmy has trouble with that french press.

[JakeTulane]

Yeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.. now we NEED to see a picture.

*throws confetti around the room... grins*

Good Morning Jo,

ummmmm... you would be correct about that.. .. smiles... I KNEW you could keep My secret.. you are the best.. and yes the idea of all of us getting together is definately something that has to happen this coming year.. not only would I love to see you both... and Zimmy.. it would also be a great vacation as well..

Ok.. and I am going to agree wholeheartedly with the python.. thing.. NO thank you.. laughs..

Yes, we must watch Zimmy when it comes to that French Pressed experiment.. she is all excited. She actually bought the one that I have.. it is one that is sold in Target.. I use it when I go camping/backpacking. However, I have used it in My home.. because it is small and makes 3 cups of coffee. The other french presses I own are bigger than that.. all the way up to an 8 cup maker. I am so proud of her.. she is finally going to be converted.. laughs

I hope you and scoote have a peaceful day..

Heya You,

I just emailed myself the picture of the 3 cup French press. As soon as I get it downloaded to my laptop, I will post it in the photo gallery right along with my cake.

Hugs my friend and I enjoyed having you convert me over to the French press...

Did you get it yet the french press coffee maker and make some I want to know so I can use mine...I googled how to use it and its not that hard but you do need coarse ground coffee to make it but it sounds like it turns out like espresso which I like...have fun with it...

[JakeTulane]

*swirls My cape around... Today Zimmy... tomorrow.. the world... *....muahhhhahahaha...
