Having guests for Christmas dinner, do not normally

"Ms. Simmons paused to highlight what she said was her husband's generous spirit. 'Tell them who's on your yacht this weekend! Tell him!' " http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/07/the-best-quotes-from-guests-at-romneys-hamptons-fundraisers/259554/ ...

My father-in-law is getting married. My husband is best man, my son is doing something during the ceremony like rolling out the aisle runner with one of the bride's grandson, and my daughter is a junior bridesmaid with bride's three granddaughters. My son and husband are wearing tuxes rented by the groom and my daughter's dress was purchased by the bride along the other bridesmaid dresses. I have no "job" in the wedding at all except for getting my family ready, ...

Europe should be confined in one giant locked unit for the insane. ...

Today we're having Italian stuffed peppers in the crockpot and potatoes. Not sure yet if I want baked, mashed or fried potatoes. I made pumpkin cookies earlier and am getting ready to frost them. I love the smell of cooked peppers! What's for dinner in your home? ...

"Hamburger Helper" actually came up on VR for a suicidal patient. The doc has a heavy accent and I actually have no idea what she is saying but I know it's not THAT. ...

Do you have a dish you serve that is traditional for your family but not your typical run-of-the-mill Thanksgiving fare? Looking forward to next Thursday. ...

With a big skillet of Spanish rice in progress, I'm gettin' a Texas-size hankering for some beefy, cheesey stuffed bell peppers. It never has made much sense to me to put rice over rice, so I don't want to use rice in the stuffing mix. Does anyone know if cheese by itself can serve as the only recipe binder? I'm not crazy about the texture eggs produce either and do not plan to use bread crumbs. I like the middle of the peppers to be on the ...

I'm looking to make something for dinner and at a loss for ideas. I've got a zuccini from my garden and a little bit of brocoli left. We were sauting the zuccini and brocoli in olive oil, garlic and basal (yum). Other stuff around my house is I've got rice, a couple potatoes. Got cans of various kinds of beans (cannoli, white, kidney, pinto, garbanzos, and black) and I've got cans of tomatoes. I've also got some tortillas (flour and corn). ...

If you didn't see the candidates' speeches, do yourself a favor and find the video. It just aired, so I doubt it's on-line yet or I'd post a link. Both of them were terrific and funny. Please, no snarks or jabs. They came together for a good cause. Let's just enjoy it for what it was. Thanks for the laughs, fellas! ...

On the night that Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed he had just finished having dinner with the Turkish diplomat to Libya http://www.examiner.com/article/newly-disclosed-cia-intel-disputes-white-house-account-of-libyan-attack ...

Every year I make turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, cranberry sauce, homemade bread and pumpkin pie. The daughters will bring another dessert or two. These are all traditional foods that my family enjoys, but I am so bored with it. I need some new, fresh, and different ideas. Even if I did something different with the beans or potatoes. Maybe a fruit salad? I still want some of the traditional foods, but does anyone have any idea ...

I'm totally tapped out of ideas for dinner.... Who has some yummy plans? ...

We always do! My hubby who is head of our family not only in age and wisdom at 77 always says the blessing ~ We have a lot to be thankful for! ...

I was just wondering if people cook dinner every day of the week anymore? When I was a kid, my mom made dinner every night except for Fridays which was "eat out" night. Course mom was a full time mom and housewife. Today's women generally work FT and are trying to do it all. I've been feeling guilty because I don't cook as often as I used to. One of my daughter's friends asked me why I never cook dinner! I do cook dinner, just not as much as mos ...

The woman is positively decrepit. ...

I live in the south. How does Thanksgiving dinner differ from the northern states to the sourthern ones? From east to west? Here in the south we have the usual turkey like everyone does. We have the cornbread dressing (stuffing), chicken and dumplings, veggies, no steamed ones though, we don't eat much steamed veggies around here. They are boiled with meat seasoning such as bacon or ham, etc. We have the broccoli casserole. We also have baked ham.& ...

Spagetti with italian sausage for me! ...

I don't think there were any distractions, like killing bin Laden, for last night. I think President Obama felt completely FREE to tell it like it is. No reelection to worry about, nothing. He has his pens and he will do what he can in his next 19 months. Should be an interesting and hopefully, productive ride. His anger translator was not so much funny as true. There were a few funny parts to it, sort of, and I am a great President Obama supporter--I was looking for funny. I can o ...

Some of HC's peeps are sickos! ...

After the presents are opened and the meal is finished, what do you actually DO? I really don't like it when everyone just sits and there and watches TV but that is what happens when eventually everyone gets bored. Does anyone have any interesting traditions? ...

Hope all of you wonderful ladies had a good Christmas!!! My fabulous husband got me for tickets to see Bon Jovi in July. I have been waiting over 20 years to see them live and can hardly wait. What did you get for Christmas that you loved??? ...

Is there anyone else who's spending Christmas alone? This is the first time for me, and I'm having a tough time dealing with it. ...

Or your Hanukkah table or however you choose to celebrate the season? I'm not here to split hairs on what we call it. I just thought it would be interesting to share some of our favorite foods of the season....maybe a recipe or two. Texas Pecan Cake (courtesy of my mom) makes a regular appearance on our table. We don't like fruitcake in our house, but this is the Texas version, chock full of pecans and raisins. Peanut Butter Balls, also known as Buckeyes, are ...

We put an angel. When I was growing up it was always a star.What do you put on top? ...

When you buy cards - what kind do you typically go for ?? Do you get..... Religious, Santa, Funny, Primitive, Etc??What do you say? Do you just sign your name, or do you add a line too?We send about 50-60 cards. Due to the amount we send, we're always having to buy new for the next time anyway. LOL Though I will say, the best time to buy is at the end of the year THIS year. Not next Christmas season, buy them when they're on Clearance for 75% off! ...

I say there are two kinds of people in this world, those who like fruitcake and those who don't; my son tells me I am wrong, there are three kinds of people in this world, those who are good at math and those who are not. I like fruitcake, I admit it, I'm not ashamed to say so -- so last night I bought a little itty-bitty $3.99 fruitcake to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas with a cup of herbal tea and a small slice after I finish work. My son, on the other hand, says "Ug ...

I know I am better off than many....but this is my first Christmas since my divorce. My family lives in Florida. One family member lives near but is very sick and can't come tomorrow. My children have been gone all day to the celebrations that I have done with my ex-husband's family for the last 20 Christmases. I need to put on some Christmas music and finish wrapping my children's gifts I guess. I just feel so sad today :( ...

Hey Everyone! I have a 4-year-old girl and a 5-year-old girl. Anyone with that age group have any ideas for Christmas for them, or what are you getting your children of that age group? Also, how many presents do you get our children? ...

Need advice. We have friends with a 10 YO and an 8 YO. This may sound silly - but I feel that our friendship has evolved to that of us going to visit them, us sending gifts for holidays, us emailing and calling them. We always get lovely thank you notes, but they live two hours away and they haven't been to our house in about five years and we haven't been to theirs in 2 years (husband refuses to go over there until they come here)! . Am I beating an old re ...
