Freckles Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Salad- I like all of the toppings and a little of the lettuce tomatoes cheese bacon peas carrots cucumber egg strawberries this weekend I've been trying not to stress about money, teenagers, or being friendless in La La land for going on 2 years. I went to church today and learned about Zechariah's prophecy, and now I'm finishing up Sunday dinner. Pot Roast, sweet potatoes, creamed spinach, and a double layer yellow cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. The color of my blankets are ivory, chocolate, and a soft blue. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Good afternoon, Doll! My favorite salad toppings are avocado, onions and cheddar cheese. Yes, very fattening. This weekend I am catching on up on all my book reviews, getting them written and scheduled. Six done, two more to go. Short but sweet! Blankets are navy blue.

ccolopy Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Good afternoon! What are your favorite salad toppings? I'm not a big salad person, but my favorite would be any kind of fruit or berry. What have you been up to this weekend? I've spent the last three days coddling my very stressed 18-year-old nephew. He's about to start his first finals week with two exams tomorrow. In between making sure he's stocked up on chocolate and index cards, I've been Christmas shopping online and contemplating throwing a New Year's party. Today's random question: What color are the blanket(s) on your bed? Black and white print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynful Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I love salads but not my own. I like fruit on my salads, apples, cranberries, pineapple, mandarin oranges, tomatoes and cheese. I haven't done anything much this weekend, which is nice. Comforter is sage green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I don't know if my blankets are on my bed. :p I introduced my boys to Masters of Orion II this weekend. Eldest and I spent a long time playing it. I even spent some time playing with my dh. Right now we are listening to Geronimo Stilton. That is one series you must not over think.

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 I suppose I'd better answer my own questions. . . What are your favorite salad toppings? red onions, sunflower seeds, cucumbers, hard boiled eggs, What have you been up to this weekend? Too much. Yesterday was Zumba, the opening of our new library so that finally I don't have to drive one city over to go to the library, baking 8 doz. chocolate chip cookies with dd10 (half for a baking order for her business, half for church). Today was church, lunch out for dd10's birthday and now vegging. Later we'll let her open her presents. Today's random question: What color are the blanket(s) on your bed? green and blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaAkins Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Good Afternoon Hive! Tonight we're having a salad bar. What are your favorite salad toppings? What have you been up to this weekend? Today's random question: What color are the blanket(s) on your bed? Good evening! The kids just got to bed and I'm sitting down at the computer for the first time today! Salad bar toppings: shredded cheese, croutons, sunflower seeds, dressing, (plus the obvious vegetables that would be in the salad!) We've had a super busy, productive, fun weekend. I am not ready for Monday though! Friday we had a family day (no school, no work). We got a lot done, after sleeping in a bit later than usual and having a nice breakfast. Friday evening, I went to a women's "Christmas by Candlelight" tea at church. Saturday, my oldest & youngest daughters danced in the Christmas parade, while the rest of us watched with friends. Afterwards, I went to a dance company Christmas party with my oldest. The girls even went caroling through nearby neighborhoods. Saturday night, I had to work. Today was the Christmas Cantata at church, followed by Sunday School and a quick trip to the grocery store. After lunch, we picked up dh's car from our mechanic. It now has a new clutch ($400)...Merry Christmas! On our way home, we bought a Christmas tree. This is our first live tree in 15 years. Apparently we're missing a piece from our artificial tree...a replacement wouldn't get here in time, so we decided to go with a live tree. The kids had a blast picking it out---I'm not sure if we'll be able to go back to artificial after this! This evening, I led crafts at church for the 2nd & 3rd graders. My dd15 cooked dinner and had it all ready when I got home. After dinner, we listened to Christmas music while decorating the tree and eating Christmas truffles. The kids are now in bed and dh and I are exhausted. Time for some tv and an early bedtime for us tonight! Tan and dark brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I love avocado on my salad, along with tiny grape tomatoes. This weekend I tried to do some Christmas shopping- bought a few things but still have several things to buy. Set up the tree, decided adding ornaments was too much work, so we went to a movie instead. Fun fact: we don't own any blankets. None. I'm a quilter and we have plenty of quilts but no blankets. The quilt currently on our bed is dark Civil War era reproduction prints...with a wool batting inside it to keep us warm. It snowed today- the kids will probably start using two quilts.

Desert Rat Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Evening, Jean! I love crumbled bacon and cheese on my salad. That makes it less healthy but very yummy! Yesterday we had our annual open house for the holidays. We had great fun even though we really didn't have a good turnout. Sickness and busy schedules kept some people away. The new game was a hit with adults and kids alike and everyone loved the food. We always enjoy the company. Today, I finished up house sitting for my friends and went Christmas shopping with my mom. We had a good time together and I finished up almost all of my Christmas shopping. I came home and wrapped most of them, too. Mom and I decided to get my dad's one a day desk calendar. We picked out Ripley's Believe it or Not. It'll stay at Mom's and the boys will update it when they are over. They loved sharing the calendar with Papa and it'll be a nice and not too painful reminder of my dad. I have a huge, thick comforter that serves as our only blanket. It's brown, beige and cream. Cordoroy! I love, love, love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I like to make my salads like this: I chop up into small bits the following items - avocado, cucumber, tomato (sometimes, if I have it), green onions, apple or persimmon. Then, I mix Good Seasons Italian Dressing in with it, along with feta cheese and sunflower seeds. Then I put all that on a bed of baby spinach or romaine lettuce. Delicious! Uh, what were the other questions? I got so caught up in making my virtual salad I forgot. Oh ok. Got the other questions. This weekend: Got together with some old old friends of ours. The two other couples and us only see each other once a year when we go out together at Christmas time. The rest of the year we're just swamped. But, we do this once a year. It's great. We talk and laugh. Never missed a beat. Color of my blanket: light green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
