I wanted the shotgun that Bass Pro Shop had on sale, starting at 5:00. I showed up at 4:30, and the line went on forever. I said to myself "nothing is worth that line", and drove off. After I found a McDonalds that was a) open and sold hot chocolate, I headed for home. While driving back past the store, I saw no line at 5:20. So I went in, and took a number at the gun counter. I got #73, and they were helping #17. I looked through the ammo, and then started talking with another woman doing the same thing. She had a number in the 60s. We kept talking, and switched off watching our things for potty breaks, etc. We got real nervous, watching all of the people before us buying shotguns 2 at a time.

Finally they got to #60, and then announced that they were sold out. I was out the door around 6:30 empty-handed.

I decided to stop at Wal-mart for some donuts, and found the store almost empty at 7:00. Cashiers were standing around with nothing to do. There were still plenty of the TVs and other "doorbusters". I got the donuts, bread and a whole lot of DVDs and Blu-rays. Home and back in bed by 8:00. But I really wanted that shotgun.

Rootdiggr, that's a great idea. If it looks cheesier it must taste cheesier.

Exactly!

Turmeric adds a boost to the perceived cheesiness of casseroles and all. Plus, it's good for you.

I will have to try that sometime. Good idea.

Many years ago my sister-in-law taught me that if you are making cheese sauce with very little cheese, a little food coloring (2 drops yellow and 1 drop red) makes a big difference.

Thanks, it is good to be back. I have been through a few rough patches, both health and employment, but things have been better for me lately. Or at least I am coping better .

I see a lot of familiar faces, and some new ones too. That is great! I am looking forward to getting to know everybody again.

I haven't been here in a few years, but lately I have been thinking about you all. It took a few tries to remember the password, but I finally made it!

So, how is everybody doing?

Welcome!!! I am in Western Tidewater, so we are sort of neighbors!!! (Rootdiggr waves to Bay Mare).

Buying more of course!!! The problem is not having enough!!!

I am NOT addicted!! Yes, I have 3 pressure canners (small, medium and large). Yes, I have 8 or 10 unopened cases of jars. Yes, this year I am using the flats that I bought 4 years ago (rotation donch ya know). And yes, on my recent trip to Colorado I came home with 2 cases of the 1/2 gallon jars that I cannot find here. BUT I AM NOT ADDICTED!!!

Will there be refreshments at the meeting?

By coincidence yesterday, I had taken out some salmon to broil for dinner, so I tried this instead. YUMMMMM! For the herbs I used dill and parsley, and I had homemade sourdough bread crumbs.

This recipie has been added to my regulars list. Thanks for sharing.
