NEW YEAR’S EVE…

For New year’s Eve each year I have fruit and cheeses,

some crackers, maybe some dips and chips and some nice

easy side dishes. maybe some little meatballs with

sweet n sour sauce or some ham slices. I usually

have some of the small crescent rolls that come in

a large container from Sam’s Club. This year.. the

rolls and the dips and chips are OUT!! I have

the ham slices but the meatballs are out too.

Had to re-vamp the whole menu so that mom

could have some too. I usually make this

One dip I loveeeee.. but is wayyyy toooo fattening

   FRUIT DIP…

1 jar of marshmallow creme.. (small jar)

1 package of creme cheese (can use low fat kind)

mix those together and use about 1/2 tsp

of nutmeg . (or add it to your taste.)

Use this with all kinds of cut up fruit.

This dip is so rich, but boy does it go fast!!

I bet I get asked “where’s the dip?” too!

So I needed a change…

so this year I mixed coolwhip with

some flavored  lowfat yogurt for a dip.

It goes over okay with mom and satisfies

the tastebuds too. Mom did so well at  Christmas

that I thought DO  IT AGAIN for

NEW YEARS!

So we will set up a table in the living

room with all the plates and food and we won’t

have a lot of heavy foods just light eating.

At bedtime I light a candle and say a prayer

for the new year. I also take time to think

of all the people I know who have passed on

either in my family or not. I have done this

for years on New Year’s Eve. I always think

that it helps to make the new year go a little

better. My Dad passed away

back in 1994 on New Year’s Day. I think of

him and make a wish for everyone that we all

have a wonderful safe, happy, successful,healthy and

prosperous year ahead.

MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL FOR THE
NEW YEAR 2008!!

BUSY SUNDAY..

Busy day today.. Many errands to do while the weather

is nice out. Snow is coming again and yesterday the

streets were a sheet of ice. Where there was no salt..

it was a skating rink!  You don’t want to think about

going out in it.  I am guessing, but

most times the stores are really busy now just

before NEW YEAR’S EVE. I cannot plan much

because mom can’t eat much of it.. but I am trying

new things. Anything and everything sugar free

and low salt catches my eye now where it never

did before. Who would guess that there was a lot

of salt in sugar free pudding. NOT ME.

I put on a pot of beans to cook all day,

will make cornbread to go with them

and the black-eyed peas that mom insists

on eating on New Year’s Day. It is a

tradition. So I must get to the store to

make sure I have everything for the meal.

 

Later today I will be paying my respects at the

funeral home for a friend of the whole town.

He died in his sleep, very unexpectedly, at 65.

A business person for over 30 years in town,

he was known far and wide. I am sure glad

the weather is better so I can go.

Well the stores await me… and so I must

get going..

 

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY!

 

PS YES.. I saw the game last night and it was like

watching the Superbowl. I love a game where the score

goes back and forth like that..a very good game.

I had no doubt that the Patriots would come back

to win though. Just amazing!!

WHAT DAY IS THIS.. ???

I must have heard that at least 10 times this

week. when the garbage pick up day is changed

because of a holiday.. then all heck breaks out.

When your paper stops or the mailman is a

day late, it can get very confusing. Yesterday

I was half-way out the door when I noticed

it was not Thurdsay but Friday and I need

not think about paying the bill until NEXT

WEEK. I got to the bank, but they closed early

for the "holidays".. NO service until Monday.

WHEN?? I mean I have it lucky..I see the date and time

on my computer every day and I STILL lose track

of which day it is..sheesh I guess I am just

losing it..

Then the whole thing starts over next week

when places are closed again for the New Year,

the mail doesn’t come and so on and so on….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you seen that commercial for Brgr Kng?

The new one.. about them cancelling the whopper.

Kind of a candid camera type thing with real

people.. telling the folks they will no longer

sell them. I find that funnier than anything they

could have dreamed up. They should give the guy or

gal a bonus for dreaming that one up.. Some of

the reactions to the statement are priceless.

That one where the person states in a really mad

voice.. GET ME A WHOPPER NOW.. makes me

really laugh. Funny stuff.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well gas is at 3.19 this week here and milk prices

are all over the place from 2.77 to 3.29. but EGGS

are very high at 2.00 a DOZEN. WHAT are the chickens

on strike too?? 

Seems everytime I go in the store the prices are

higher! Must have something to do with CORN..

because the way they talk on the news everything

comes back to that eventually.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

WELL HOPE YOUR  "SATURDAY" GOES GREAT!!

 

I KNOW MINE WILL IF I KEEP SAYING IT

ENOUGH..  SAT  UR DAYYYYYY !!!  LoL
