Here is my recipe for Caesar Salad dressing. I rarely use anchovy paste now, as I don't really care for anchovies anymore. I also use Keen's mustard powder in place of prepared hot mustard.

Lynn I hope you have lots of fun with your company @avoncallingu hope your headache gets better soon and your DH feels better.
I'm really hoping the weather clears by tomorrow night, we have tickets to see Jeff Dunham in Hamilton.

@dededi - I hope it clears for you too; that'd be the drive from he!! if it doesn't.

Boss just called to remind me I'm working today lol. Went shopping and bought a bunch of appitizers for new years eve. Maybe just want to get some shrimps or fruits still.

Darth, I've made baklava a couple of times, and you're so right: it's dead easy. Did your DD make rose-water syrup, too? I'd have made it this Christmas, but our little Grandson has a nut allergy so...sigh...it'll be a long time coming again, but omg, I could eat a full pan of that stuff! She's going to be very popular back at school!

She didn't use rose water though I do have some from when I made Turkish/Greek Delight..no phyllo involved..

I suggested orange blossom water for the next batch though...

Ohhh, the orange blossom syrup would be de-VINE!! Gosh I wish I could make some but Hubby and I would be eating it, gaining weight, so what's the use...I can only dream baklava dreams...

I feel the same - yes, I have dreamed about it, as well. The best place that has it here is a little shop called the Bulk Cheese Warehouse (a misnomer, really, it's a small little family shop which has a few other prepared foods as well - I don't know if they are brought in or made in-house) - and it's not far from our home, so I try stay clear - but it's been ages since I had it, so maybe it's time.

Great, so now I REALLY want some - to get it out of my system.

Anyway, my younger brother got himself a cat from the shelter - a two year old male, who is very handsome. He's a buff-coloured tabby - a lighter version of an orange one. So I'm happy that he's happy!

Have a great day, all!

Good morning everyone.

Hello, everyone!!
Another day of visiting with company, so busy times....hope everyone is off to a great day!!

Well, winter reminded us that we should be prepared. It's still very messy out there. Is everyone well today? I hope so. It has been a challenging year for many of us. It almost hurts to even think of it. Personally I have found it to be so difficult & defeating sometimes. Living with this "neurofibrosarcoma" each & every day, has made me stronger to this fight. I am having a brutal time on this medication (chemo drug) but then I see the results from the scans. I can only hope that I can keep *it* at bay indefinitely. Going down to the hospital every 2 weeks has been draining, but I have crossed paths with some really incredible people. I even broke into song in the blood lab one morning at about 7:45am to the tune of Under the Boardwalk by The Drifters. "In the blood lab - where our wait is long, in the blood lab where you can sing a song",,,,,It made people smile & it lightened the mood. Wonder why I am called Silly?

I've just started reading The Only Average Guy by John Filion (all about our friend Rob Ford) I couldn't stay awake long enough to get too far into it, but it looks like it is going to be an enjoyable read.

Well today is a treatment day & I am getting myself psyched out to take my drugs. Maybe it will be my lucky day & there won't be any of the yucky side effects....... No drinking for me the New Year's Eve which in the big scheme of things is no big deal. Hope you all have a great afternoon.

Love, Loocie
