[Guest guest]

I'm in LA Where are the other members from ????????? I sure would love to see

your snowman. Tell you what. If you get a picture you can mail it to me and

I'll scan and post and mail it back to you. Write me offlist if this sounds

good. Matter of fact if you have a few pictures you want placed in our files

you can send those also. I'll be very careful with them.

--- Donna,

 

where do you live again? I'm assuming someplace warm?? after

shoveling for a really long time, I can't move very well right now.

each shovelful was close to 10 lbs so do the math with 500 ft of

driveway : ). if I had a clue how to upload pictures, I would post a

snowman picture in next few days : ). my cousin taught school in Texas

for quite awhile and would take back coolers of snow so her students

could see it : ). our biggest drift right now goes up to my shoulder

and I'm 5'8 " . I honestly don't remember having this much before winter

officially begins. oh well, lots of snow stirs the creative cooking

juices : ). there seems to be nothing better than a pot of soup or

beans simmering on back of stove with bread in the oven, Christmas

music playing, and watching the snow fall : ). take care............

After living most of my life up north, in various places, my husband and

I retired down to south Florida. While we experienced a little bit of

snow on our Thanksgiving trip to Chicago, we can just do without snow

any more. Of course we are still paying through the nose for

post-Hurricane Wilma repairs.

 

One of the great things about here is the great variety of fruits and

vegetables, especially at farmers markets. I'm still learning about

what they are and what to do with them. I have experimented with the

spinach- like leaves of the yucca plant, called Caliloo. I have learned

to make it so it tastes something like it does at the Jamaican

restaurants. I find fresh okra, fresh papaya, an abundance of plantains

(I have a great recipe for plantain soup), and whole bunches of stuff I

still can't identify.
