It did have some bad reviews but we thought it was good. It is funny because it has the aftertaste of a donut. If you are interested in trying it, I got my box at Walmart. I think it was around $2.47. Not bad since it comes with glaze.

I'm sold.. thank you Bugster, but too bad our Walmart does not sell it... I'm going to look around other Walmart.. I read the reviews. some said they had to spend $20 per box, I'm not going to spend that much No  

today we had wood grilled rib-eye steak, I was craving it since I was away visiting my mom, today we saw it on sale, it was good.. 1 inch bone-in Ribeye steaks, I ate half of mine,m the rest will be sliced thin and added in flour tortilla with cheese.. yum

Try this. I found out Walmart had it through this link. I hope it works. If not, let me know what city you live in and I will see if it works for me.

thank you B.. I found it, now I need to go to the store and get it

It wasn't easy to see. It was in the cake mix aisle, but on an upper shelf. It wasn't with the rest of the Betty Crocker cake mixes.

Now I got the itchies to try that KK cake.

I fried 3 small zucchini with onion and red bell peppers. That was supper after I woke up from a nap.
I almost bit my finger holding the hunk of Italian bread that I help push the zucchini down with.

Temps could drop to 33º tonight, so I brought in the newly planted oregano.
Tina has 4 new hanging plants in the front, but I am NOT carrying them in to the garage.
I told her to hold off on buying them. She will cover them with plastic if she wants to.

Meee Toooo..! ! !

Now, the thing with me, is the Dr said my right foot, hahahahaha, I call it when it gets puffy.... "Bubby Toes".... that because I had knee surgery the old way where they cut me 8 inches across the knee, that the blood vessels were cut, and there is low flow to the foot on that side.
If the left foot swells, it is just barely noticeable, but the toes are ok, and a shoe fits perfectly.

I wear those elastic stockings for a day, and that squeezes out the excess fluid in the foot. I thought I could maybe get the water out if I poked it with a needle.
Boy did that hurt. I used the gun that shoots the test hole for the B/S test. I jabbed it like 8 times
It bled, but not much, and no water came out.

That brings back memories lol
When I was first dx and had to get my bs test by myself, oh my gosh. Hated to poke my finger. Yikes.
I messed with the monitor and dropped the thing and it hit my toe .. HA blood!!!

Since then I have upgraded my monitor and I have no pain what so ever lancers.

I have never done surgery on myself for a mole but I have used wart remover for removing some sun lesions. When I was in the 4th grade I did surgery on my foot for a plantar wart. My father (a doctor) told me all of the black seeds had to come out before the wart would go away. He couldn't give me the time of day to remove it himself so I did it. It took weeks. I sterilized a needle with a match, put alcohol on the wart and just started picking. I would do this every few days. After a couple of months the wart died.
My little sister had a terrible case of warts on her hands. They were all over. My father said if you remove the mother wart (the first one you got) then the rest will go away. So, at the dinner table one night, my father gave my sister a shot on the wart to numb it, and took a scalpel and cut it right off. It landed in a dinner plate. We were so grossed out. My mother was horrified and started gagging. I can think about it now and laugh my butt off. Well, it worked. Her warts were gone in a week.

lol yes . From a pre made container. Ha . I would never buy it however it was free so I thought what the heck. Not bad. With garlic and fried in butter. Actually I think I might just buy some. I am always throwing out potatoes.
I have bought ore Ida's frozen and they were very very good.

Having breaded Pork Cutlets.... I am about to fry them now.
Tina went to see her brother and wife who had a breast removed a few weeks ago.
I figured rice; just plain, and broccoli. Applesauce to eat with the cutlets.

Just finished supper. Took pictures. I'll post them soon as they are developed.LOL

I have taken on a new challenge/job.................My new "neighbourhood" my condo complex has 157 units.  My new challenge is that the social committee (at my instigation) is planning to have a barbecue dinner here on the property.  Now, I have had many grill parties with 35-40 people but this is surely different.  

I am no spring chicken at age 71, but I am one of the youngest of this group, and I do like organizing things.  We have to have an idea of how many people will show up, so we have printed a sign-up sheet which is being delivered to everyone's door on Thursday, they have a week to sign up and pay $5.00 ahead of time so that we have an idea of how many people are coming and of course, what to purchase.  

We'll be doing burgers, sausages, hot dogs on buns.  Several salads, it's BYOB and bring your own lawn chair.  We have a nice grassy area with trees beside the visitor's parking for a sitting area.  Visitors parking will be partially roped off also.  

Does anyone here in this group have experience in that type of party???

NV that is some undertaking..IDK maybe get several folks to help you with it.$5 does not sound right. Maybe $15 or 20.I would look into a rental place for tables and or grills etc.You just need the right amount of money from all to cover the cost..

That is quite a task.... I've done a spaghetti and meatballs dinner at the firehouse for around 300 people, but that was easy compared to your task.
I would say, you need ice or refrigeration to keep the salads cold.

Nice if you could grill / cook the hot dogs and keep them in warmers / crock pots / etc. That way, it frees up the grill (s) for burgers only.
You could do the hot dogs, and pan them in torch fuel serving pans in a water bath.

......just suggestions ......
