When I lived in Minnesota people were offended that I didn't like their lutefisk. OMG!! How can anyone willingly even eat it after knowing how it's made!KOM - 2008-12-14 9:09 PM lastcall2003 - 2008-12-14 9:04 PM esp when normal is so hard to figure out. I used to love to hear about everyone's christmas eve traditions- the italians with the 7 fishes, and the lutefisk of the norwegians (?). I always said the irish catholic tradition was getting drunk and being disruptive at midnight mass. Normal for us but not for everyone.so, for me this year the holiday stress has been totally different usually I'm worried about all the normal stuff, this year I'm worried about making the holidays normal weird, isn't it? LOL! I would be one of those norwegians OMG how I hated lutefisk! So I'm guessing I don't want to ask huh? TOPPAGE!!!!! Edited by ebshot 2008-12-14 8:20 PM |

Seriously. I give up! No Kathy, no tree. I tried. I really did. Here's the details from my log: On to our Christmas tree problems. I got a fake one today! Brought it home. Put it together. Spent HOURS fluffing it. Plug it in. Lights work. Kids decorate it. I go to redecorate it and the lights on the top half of the tree go out. I change a bazillion bulbs. Nothing. I go to change one more and it explodes. Really? Come on. I undecorate the tree. Take it apart. Package it up. Drive to store. Return. Come home. Eat pizza. Drink wine. I give up. I'm leaning towards doing that....I need to check to see if have any regular lights hanging around. I'm sure we do. It is just one disaster after another! I think a Charlie Brown tree is in order. |

OMG, that sounds fun! I'd love to go to midnight mass this year. Do you usually go? We usually get together with family or friends and have our gift swap. Then go to church, the kids are in the pagent and then mass follows. Nothing real exciting.... Oh I havent been to midnight mass for years!!! |

Master 2146 East Side of the Bay | Subject: RE: Team Vixen - Dec. Limiter Challenge kaqphin - 2008-12-14 9:47 PM Sounds familiar, LOL. It's time for me to say goodnight. I'm already behind for next week's to do list.KOM - 2008-12-15 1:44 PM kaqphin - 2008-12-14 9:40 PM I think telling him you'll be happy with however he does the prawns sounds like a great idea. Why do guys always start their shopping and plans on 12/24? There is never anything left in the stores...ebshot - 2008-12-15 1:37 PM kaqphin - 2008-12-14 9:35 PM KOM - 2008-12-15 1:33 PM kaqphin - 2008-12-14 9:29 PM Christmas eve fish is a big thing around here (Rhode Island). Our fish market takes orders days in advance and they even have a cop directing traffic on Christmas eve day! I know I always buy shrimp already cooked and then just make a nice horseradishy cocktail sauce.KOM - 2008-12-15 1:28 PM kaqphin - 2008-12-14 9:24 PM Can't you buy the prawns already cooked?lastcall2003 - 2008-12-15 1:04 PM so, for me this year the holiday stress has been totally different usually I'm worried about all the normal stuff, this year I'm worried about making the holidays normal weird, isn't it? Youve been through so much this year I think it makes sense.... Im about ready to throttle my flatmate.. he has no opinion on anything christmas related.. so Ive just gone off and made all the plans and prepped etc.. Now yesterday he says why dont we do a proper Aussie chrissie this year with cold meat and seafood... seriously - TWO weeks before i have everyone over... guys so do NOT get it... So cold meat is good.. it menas less work for me on chrissie day but more work in the lead up... BUT I think he really just wants prawns... and iVe NEVER cooked or prepped prawns... oysters, mussels, scallops are all easy (of course he likes NONE of these) Im thinking I will buy them and throw them at him saying they need to be ready by such and such a time and see what happens
I have no idea... I dont eat them!!! I guess i will be sweet talking the seafood place early on christmas eve to find out what I can get and need to do... i guess if you can then its just heat in pan with garlic butter... Thanks for the tip - I will have to look into it as I was quite happy with just doing a simple roast dinner on chrissie day and now its turned into something requiring effort!!! I think either way I should just get all my prep done and then throw him the prawns and tell him to deal with it! I think that sounds like a great plan! I don't like fish or seafood for that matter. I wish I did but can't quite ever seem to enjoy it. I like MOST seafood... but prawns Im not the fussed on I guess...

Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Team Vixen - Dec. Limiter Challenge In the midst of power outages, internet interruptions, and ice storms extraordinaire, your fearless challenge leader plunges on, tackling the excruciatingly important task of... THE WEEKLY STANDINGS *cue ominous music* With 39% of the month gone, our valiant reindeer are fighting blinding snow, record temps, and gorgeous sunshine to battle it out for the top of the standings. It is a close battle, each team buoyed by powerful members and weakened by a few. And here, the moment you've been waiting for... 1st: Vixens, with 39.45% 2nd: Dancers, with 36.90% 3rd: Blitzens, with 33.82% 4th: Comets, with 29.28% Next week will be especially exciting, as those who haven't reached 40% by Friday are grounded, and must watch their teams fly off without them. How will the standings change? How will our reindeer cope? Will the Vixens finally topple? STAYED TUNED FOR ANOTHER EXCITING INSTALLMENT! |
