I almost have the electric in, we can put out a couple of spare burners or stash it in the fridge and fill up a crockpot.
more books, tin? let's see what you have in there...let me give you a hand with them while my coffee cools down a bit. oh, hehe, i see you already have plenty of help with both kitties going at it!! attacking... what? i think they just want to fight over the box, must be a 'cat thing'-- they leave the best, cushy seats in the house, to spar over this dusty old cardboard box. huh, go figure....
let's let them play awhile, tin. did you hear the exciting news from .40 about the rooms here that have plastered-in fireplaces? apparently, from a central chimney existing from the time of the construction of the original building. can you imagine, tin? even if we don't use them for heating, as actively functioning fireplaces....i can't wait to see the walls torn down to reveal those old fireplaces, hidden from sight for all these years--there's supposed to be four of them! i wonder, have you noticed, tin, is that a brick or a stone chimney, up there on the roof?
have you seen the awesome masonry work done by pf at the back of the house--the splendid fire pit she built? the round, stone-stacked pit is surrounded by the loveliest expanse of field stone, pf's skills...it will make the most perfect evening gathering place for us to relax with our choice of cuppas-- a blazing fire, alive with movement and dancing flames, its mesmerizing powers--melting, softening, entrancing....blissful
I'll bring cole slaw if that's ok I lost a close dear friend wed so haven't been reading here like I should. How about more deviled eggs, and some stuffed celery and Andy M's moms pilar its heaven and I want to help.Lunch is at high noon. I put the boston butt on about 9 o'clock last night. It looks great this morning. Lots of bark. I'll pull it in a couple of hours and mix in the sauce. Should be enough for a couple of bus pans full. Picked up 4 dozen local baked hoagie rolls with sesame seeds.
Who's bringing the cole-slaw?
The new addition is fully wired, plumbed, insulated and all the doors and windows are hung.
You should see the front entry. Curved double doors in an oval vestibule flanked by floor to ceiling stained glass panels.
I told all of the crews to stop by for a special project around noon...wink wink

You might want to investigate the alleged health benefits of cinnamon.Lately, I 've been lacing my coffee with hot chocolate, half and, half .....so delicious in the snowtimes!
Sure would love one of those eggnog cookies but for my new heart channel, which needs to be kept clear of clogging fats.
Wish there was a fat-declogger one could eat following every meal!
I had an aunt who used to eat a piece of diet fudge (supposed to be a meal-replacer) after every meal, insisting it was doing just that. Maybe for her, it was, cuz she's still going strong though overweight and in her 80's.
My son takes cinnamon capsules and finds it lowers blood glucose a lot.You might want to investigate the alleged health benefits of cinnamon.
Sorry, sorry, I'm late....there was a troll under the bridge and I was up late last night finishing up the BBQ prep and cook area adjacent to the firepit. We still need a Q of some sort to put in there and I had enough flagstone and brick for the pizza oven on the end. Here's my 20 pounds of potato salad.
Well, dig in! don't all just stand around. Party time!
