We are already having an incredible time! We went grocery shopping today, cooked and awesome dinner tonight and I'm done!!! Totally awesome to have a real chef in the house;) He did grilled eggplants and zuccini and beef ribs on the grill - FABULOUS!!!!

Hope you have a great weekend Kev!

It is wonderful to hear things are going so well.
With your positive attitude your 99% there already.

Looks like a good'un, janie! The recipe items mentioned at Amazon sound delectable, too!

Wonderful to hear, Cath... The supper sounds yummy too! Have a blast, dear!

I'll be away for 3-4 days... taking a couple vacation days in addition to my normal 2-day weekend... will miss you all! smiles & hugz- k.

I found one of Nigella Lawson's books and the companion cookbook to Jamie Oliver's Jamie at Home series that airs on FN. I marked them to order next. Im so glad you told me about Amazons used book option. I had no idea lol.

I found a lovely little three tier serving tray with these delicate little roses painted on it for like $12 on Amazon. I have been looking for one of those for ages to use during the holidays. Everyone I found around here was either to high, chipped or just plain ugly. This one will be ideal for my holiday candy and cookies.
I love this one.
