Mr.Brit - years and years ago - once fell victim to the informercials and bought a Ron Popeil "set it and forget it" rotisserie.

I tell you, that damn thing makes the BEST chicken you've ever tasted - so moist and juicy! We use it all the time, even though I'm embarrassed to say we bought it from an informercial :D:D:D

Not sure if I'm mad or find it funny that he was afraid to call, in person, to let me know. :D

ROFL:D:D:D

Well folks, thank you for carrying me through the last part of my work day today! I am off on my Christmas adventure -- visit dad, come home, change, have dinner with GF's mom, suite at 4PTS, home, back to dad. I wish I could get RDM's for all of the driving I am about to do.

To all, have a wonderful and safe holiday!

And, to you Trustguy! Have a wonderful Holiday and drop in and visit us again soon!

Um, ahem, where's the lemon tart?:(;)

I decided I would make the lemon tart over the weekend. We have so much sweet stuff lying around, that I don't want it to go to waste.

Just got my e-mail for Geico about my car insurance - premium went up 43 cents a month.

Have a fantastic time in Paris. Travel safe! Be well! think of us here in the US while you are whooping it up with the froggies - oops, I mean Les Frenchies.


:D:D:D


p.s. just as a disclaimer, I have a very good friend who is French and he calls me Le Roast Beef :D

Now you could just purchase it in almost any drugstore or mass merchandiser.

I don't like the idea of heading out with 0 euro but I'll make it work ...

Yes, I've seen them in the local BJs. Interestingly enough, it was the same price that we paid for it and we bought it about 10 or 11 years ago!

You will, indeed, make it work! I don't have any to offer, I'm afraid. Don't like the Euro - it's foreign .....:p:p:p Only like the pounds, shillings and pence!!!

If I don't get back into the box tonight:

Happy Holidays to all

Happy Christmas to those who celebrate Christmas

Happy Kwanzaa to those who celebrate Kwanzaa

and happy celebrations to any other festival I have forgotton or don't know about


Eat, drink, be merry, but above all, be safe!

I made a good deal of money buying euro last year - got it from eBay when Bing cashback (then LiveSearch cashback) was 30% and before sellers got out of control on pricing. Then sold the remainder back to AmEx Travel Services upon my return, when the euro was at the high point for 2008 ^ Nice little serendipitous outcome.

I'm about to walk up the hill to the local store, get another roll of wrapping paper.
