I am rooting for inception and black swan...though I did not see black swan I love Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. I've seen the trailer like a hundred times!
I did see Inception though, and I must say...it was BRILLIANT! -
0 votes
I liked Inception but for some reason I felt it was too long. I'll have to watch it again when it is released on DVD. I really loved the concept though.
Black Swan was pretty adult but acted and directed by mastermind talents. I really liked this movie!

Tammy, you are the lucky girl. I graduated from L'Academie de Cuisine Pastry Arts. I would have attended FCI in Manhattan, NY, had things been different and I had had a place to live while attending school.

The Oscars are tomorrow. what kind of Valentine's candy? Does he cook, too? Wish I had some candy.

Theresa I buy my own Valentine candy...
-
0 votes
Does this mean you purchase your own and do not share? Or .... You make your own candy and then purchase it from yourself?
Or like me, I don't have a husband that buys me Valentine's candy. He isn't a gift shopper. He avoids it as much as possible. -

My wife's parents lived on the top of a hill and at the bottom of the hill was a blueberry farm. I'll bet you can't guess what they called the farm... Blueberry Hill. I am sure Chubby Checker would appreciate that. We never seemed to be able to visit without coming home with blueberries. Blueberry pancakes were a staple when the lids were young, cheap meal. -
0 votes
@ Greg, lids or kids? Ha. Yes blueberries are great for us and they do tend to be a little dreamy. their flavor is juicy and delicious.
@ Catherine. Get Tammy to make blueberry pancakes for you tomorrow morning. -
0 votes
Well the kids made me flip my lid so I view them as the same thing. If you want to get technical it is kids.

Such a sweet story ibozo! When i was young we had farms all over, but it has become so built up now that its more like an extension of the city.
I miss the old days so very much.
@ Theresa
She is the baker of the house. Hmm...Good idea!

She was in something else though...but I forgot it... -

I am late but I am here now.
I only saw Toy Story 3, I am a big Steve Jobs fan and Black Swan. Natalie Portman was great, hard to believe she had to lose weight.

That is one movie with Denzil that I have not seen. I have to bee in the mood for violence before viewing those movies. Or, if they are shot in a desolate area, I find them a little depressing.

I did not watch it, for some reason my wife has been on an anti awards show kick. She is tired of all of the spoiled brats, drug addicts and big egos.

Tomorrow night the Oscars will be given to very deserving talent. I urge your Mrs. to watch the show. She should enjoy them.
I never heard of her before and my husband is a jazz artist. It has to do with sales and hopefully talent. I am not a Justin fan, although he is bubble-gum cute. -

Lady GaGa she was on Gayle King show yesterday for an interview and I have to say I admire her. She is well spoken, talented, has an eye for high fashion and is self-assured enough to pull it off. She is not practical, but she is fun.

I'll tell you my secret then. Hungry Jack Buttermilk Pancake Mix. Just add water (you might need to adjust the amount to a bit more), blueberries and butter. I also use Mrs. Butterworth's Syrup.
Semi home-made. I also love Betty Cocker and Dunkin Hines Brownies. I mean ... if the recipe is perfect then why make them from scratch? Mostly, I do everything from scratch. these are my two weaknesses. -
0 votes
I will try it...I use bisquick...that's all my mom ever used when my brother and I were much younger...but I will try the hungry jack mix.
p.s.
your secret is safe with me! -

Buttermilk is also great in biscuits.
My secret for picking out maple syrup is...well, I have to admit I pick whichever has the prettiest glass bottle! -

I made from scratch buttermilk biscuits and they are my favorite. I'm going to the grocery shop tomorrow, so I will buy buttermilk.

Theresa not even real male syrup? You don't know what you are missing.

Greg, I have purchased maple syrup made by farmers and crafters. I just happen to like Mrs. B's ! M'bad. Thanks for joining us tonight. It has been fun.
But you can make some for me and send it along and I could, in turn, make something for you.
