Lizlin

Something to look forward to.

2:07 am

sprite

Tim and had a heart-to-heart yesterday and it looks like things are back to normal now. In his defense, I have to admit that this time I was to blame for half of it... I overreacted to something he said.

11:17 am

bichon

that sounds good

11:17 am

harpjane

sorry monkey, i don't

11:17 am

MollyL

Oh, you can find so much information on Google. The Rose Parade is usually on New Year's Day, but never if New Year's Day is on Sunday.

11:17 am

sukee

Sounds good. i like mustard on cheese too.

11:17 am

lil*monkey

I used about a TB of normal yellow mustard and about a teaspoon of spicy brown mustard. Mix it in the tuna instead of mayo.

11:17 am

harpjane

i use mustard instead of mayo in a lot of salads. Or plain yogurt

11:17 am

lil*monkey

Yes me too sukee!

11:18 am

dan2bit

hahaha I read that as a terabyte of mustard. I may have been a computer geek for too long

11:18 am

dan2bit

oops pb again

11:18 am

lil*monkey

Yes good idea harp :) I have also made tuna with plain yogurt and added curry powder. That recipe I got from Oprah's show.

11:18 am

lil*monkey

LOL dan2

11:19 am

sukee

Got any ideas for sour cream? I have a bunch left over from the holidays.

11:19 am

lil*monkey

You can use it in chicken salad , tuna salad or pasta salad, sukee.

11:20 am

sukee

Right now I have left over stew and fish in the house :)

11:20 am

sukee

And one Cornish hen :)

11:21 am

aebmusica

And one cornish hen in the pantry(to parody the song)!

11:22 am

MollyL

Sour cream and potatoes in any way is wonderful.

11:22 am

That is an idea Molly. I have potatoes :)

11:23 am

lil*monkey

Twice baked potatoes with sour cream, chives cheese & bacon bits

11:23 am

Sour cream and tacos, also wonderful. Although as I understand it, Canadian people don't eat much Mexican food.

11:24 am

sukee

I think we eat as much as Americans, Taco Bell is big and I love fajitas and tacos :)

I have French Canadian friends, when I served them tacos, they insisted on putting CATSUP on them. EW! Even tho I had salsa and sour cream available, they wanted catsup.

11:24 am

lil*monkey

They put catsup on their pizza too.

11:24 am

sukee

No, no ketchup on Tacos. But French Canadians love poutine :)

11:25 am

lil*monkey

What is poutine

11:25 am

lil*monkey

My friends are Qubecois. They have very weird eating habits. But one time they made a raclette for me, and it was divine!

Darn, i want truth to be there.

11:26 am

Oh gross, ketchup on pizza?

11:26 am

lil*monkey

YES it was gross Molly. They also add catsup to their spaghetti sauce while it's simmering.

11:27 am

sukee

Might as well just pour sugar on it.

11:27 am

lil*monkey

They thought it was weird that I put red wine in my spaghetti sauce while it's simmering. And they are total winos! LOL

11:28 am

doseffing

... that's what ketchup has more of

11:28 am

MollyL

Red sauce is nothing without some red wine in it.

11:28 am

lil*monkey

Agreed Molly. I'm off work today, now I want to get sauce fixins at the store & start simmering some spaghetti sauce!

11:28 am

MollyL

I have never gotten the poutine thing and never will.

Some people are too sensitive.
