What a lovely day... our pellet stove, which is our main source of heat, burnt out last night... like, the wires burnt out I'm just thankful that nothing caught on fire. So now we have no heat aside from a couple of electric heaters and we have the oven on with door open. Dad is getting another one today but it will take time to put it in. Ugh

So to answer Holly's question, freezing is on the agenda today lol. It's minus 20 something with the wind chill right now

Sheets, that sucks about the pellet stove. We used to have one in a home we had several years back and they are fabulous for heat. I hope it's not to expensive to repair. Using electric heaters costs so much money. Hopefully someone can repair it for you soon.

We've had a lot of trouble with this one, many people have told dad that it's a piece of crap My sister and her husband have a second one that we're going to borrow for now... it's huge! Like, turbo pellet stove lol. The heat is nice from them but nothing beats wood stove heat!

Sheets, Nat, Lola, FP, Holly, MrsSun, good morning ladies

[cabmonk]

Sheets sorry to hear that, stay warm.

Geez every time I come here to ask a nice question like if anyone has any dinner party ideas. The people right above me either, have the flu, someone died, they're freezing to death come on happy thoughts lol.

But really On feb 20th at my new place I am inviting 4 girls I used to work with over for dinner. Any idea's for food or anything. I was thinking lasagna and salads and after that don't know. and yes I am more comfortable around girls lol.

[MrsSunshine]

mornin Dan.. yawnn.. i really need to wake up...

Cabbie.. hmm. 4 girls.. dinner..?? umm.. kidding..i think lasagna and a salad would be great. are you cooking ahead of time.. then chit chat and eat.. or is it something your all putting together.. maybe a nice cheesecake for dessert.

[cabmonk]

Yes 4 girls lol. I used to work with them at the travelodge. 2 of them are still there and the other 2 left before me. Dinner will be 6.30pm or so and I wanted to put lasagna in oven at about 5.45 to finish up. Just wondering for app's or something.

[cabmonk]

Oh yeah and bbq meatballs with the lasagna.

[i_forget]

Hope everyone is having a good week.
Mine has been crazy busy.....just trying to relax so I can study.
wish the guy changing my gas metre would stop swearing, it is making me nervous....if you never hear from me again, well you know he blew up my house lol

have a great day everyone!

[sheetsofemptycanvas]

Thanks for the nice warm hug Jennifer, and to everyone who sent warm wishes! It's surprisingly not too cold in here at all, must be the direction the wind is blowing.

Cabbie, you can't go wrong with pasta and salad! Another really easy thing is a nice roasted chicken.... easy and can feed a lot of people

[cabmonk]

Thanks, I'm looking at m&m meats online right now for a couple quick apps. I will probably make the lasagna myself bu the apps will buy. Will use the vera wang china I bought a few days ago(just because lol).

[danger_dan]
