no snow here... just more rain and 45 now getting up to 56 later - so they say... yummy dinner last night of (Carrie, this was for you!) chicken & rice w/ vegetables. Our farmer's market here has a guy who sells this locally grown rice that is soooo good - brown jasmine rice - and i cooked it in vegetable broth w/ a few strands of saffron. chicken was w/ a tiny bit of butter and some lemon pepper. veggies were cooked sorta tagine style but in a skillet - tomatoes, onion, garlic, parsley, peppers and preserved lemon w/ some moroccan seasonings! DEELISH! :thumbs:

:thumbs:

Noura, I am coming down to your house for dinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnner!!! :innocent:

Raining here . . . but everyone is a bit freaked about the possibility that the temps might drop . . . BUT we are not anywhere close now. Snow in Arkansas though . . . that's what my brother said last night, lol, they are about 300 miles northeast of Dallas though. At least I sent him a care package of his favorite smoked salmon from World Market . . . so he had something to be happy about . .. also, to thank him for driving me back to Dallas after my accident!

Stay warm!!

Jenn - yes I posted a link about it in yesterday's thread. I personally don't think they should prosecute the guys who set it there but I do think whoever authorized them to do it should go to jail AND pay a fine. What I don't get is, with any advertising don't you need to get a license and pay a fee? I know just when we have yard sales we are not allowed to post signs on trees and stuff so we have to tape a sign to a car and park it near a major street. Didn't know we had superheros though. :unsure:

Still haven't heard any more about the superheroes. I'll let you know if I hear anything. Apparently Superman and Spiderman were spotted? :wacko:

That guy from Arlington looks pretty scary still even though the whole thing is so stupid. :lol:

We now have the craziest looking snowman in our front yard. It has a purple cowboy hat, hillbilly teeth, snow gloves hanging on sticks for arms and hands, and it is dirty from being rolled around the yard. He fits in perfect in my little rural, farming town. He does have a bit of charm about him. It was my daughters first time ever building a snowman.

That's pretty funny. Ours is called a "floating holiday".

Well, I guess that was so we could use it to be "diverse" . . . :innocent:

Of course, I could probably use it for MARDI GRAS . . . . if I had time for a trip to N.O.!!

BTW, NOURA . . . are you a fan of Fifi Abdo? NOUNA's mom is bringing her in for a workshop/performance in May!
